Abstract Analyses of the composition of peripheral cytokines hold promise for providing a basis for determining the prognosis of lung cancer treated with immunotherapy. In this study, we assessed correlations between interleukins in peripheral blood and the disease prognosis in patients with lung cancer. We retrospectively collected eligible adult patients with histologically confirmed lung cancer. Patients with immune-related adverse events (AE) from immunotherapy had higher pretreatment levels of IL-2 (p=0.002), IL-17 (p=0.01), and IFN-α (p=0.02) than patients with nonimmune-related adverse events (NAE). Univariate analysis showed that changes in IL-2 (p=0.04), IL-5 (p=0.007), IFN-α (p=0.003), IFN-γ (p=0.012) and TNF-α (p=0.049) levels were significantly increased in patients with AE compared with those with NAE before the second cycle of therapy. Patients with a clinical benefit had higher levels of IL-17 before the third cycle than patients without a clinical benefit. No significant cytokine differences were observed between patients with and without a clinical benefit undergoing ICI pretreatment or in the first two cycles of therapy. Plasma cytokines are related to immune-related adverse events and clinical responses, which are potential predictive markers for anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy in lung cancer patients and may play an important role in selecting patients who would benefit from PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors.

e20543 Background: Immunotherapy has shown promising results for clinical management of various cancers. We reported our real world experience with PD-1 or PD-L1 immunotherapy in management of advanced lung cancer patients in China. Methods: This is a single-center retrospective study based on the de-identified electronic medical data collected in routine clinical practice. A total of 198 advanced lung cancer (stage IIIA-IV) patients who underwent anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy at Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital between 2015 and 2018 were included. Progression free survival and overall survival of patients were estimated by Kaplan-Meier methods. The treatment-related adverse events were also analyzed. Results: Median age of patients was 60.0 years (33.0-88.0 years). Most patients were male (150, 75.8%), smokers (116, 61.7%) and had a KPS score ≥70 (169, 97.7%). Of 198 patients, 106 (53.5%) had adenocarcinoma and 54 (17.3%) had squamous cell carcinoma. Thirty-one (15.7%) patients had CNS metastases. Seventy-one (38.8%) patients received two or more prior therapies. Estimated progression free survival was 5.6 months and overall survival was 24.5 months. One-hundred twenty-seven (64.1%) patients had documented to suffer adverse events, most commonly gastrointestinal adverse events and liver damage (Table). Conclusions: Our study showed survival benefits of PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy in advanced NSCLC patients in clinical practice. Safety profile was comparable to the previous studies. Our study supports the benefits of PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy in clinical management of advanced lung cancer patients. [Table: see text]

BackgroundIn pivotal immunotherapy trials, the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors as treatments for lung cancer patients with brain metastases remains controversial. The aim of this study was to assess the relative efficacy of immunotherapy versus standard systemic therapy in advanced lung cancer patients with and without brain metastases.MethodsSystematic searches of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane database, and conference proceedings up to Aug 6, 2020 without year and language restrictions. The main outcomes were the overall survival in patients with and without brain metastases measured by hazard ratios, and the difference in efficacy between patients with and without brain metastases was measured by ratio of hazard ratios.ResultsNine eligible randomized controlled trials involving 6241 patients (682 [11%] with brain metastases and 5559 [89%] without brain metastases) were included in the analysis. A survival benefit of immunotherapy was observed for both patients with brain metastases (HR, 0.75; 95%CI, 0.53-0.97; P = .026) and patients without brain metastases (HR, 0.75; 95%CI, 0.67-0.83; P <.001). However, patients without brain metastases benefit more from immunotherapy than patients with brain metastases (HR, 1.37; 95%CI, 1.15-1.63; P = .001). Additionally, subgroup analyses indicated that tumor type affect the efficacy of immunotherapy in patients with brain metastases (HR, 1.04 vs 1.54; interaction, P = .041).ConclusionsImmunotherapy can significantly improve overall survival for advanced lung cancer patients with asymptomatic brain metastases, especially in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer, but the magnitude of benefit is brain metastases dependent.Systematic Review Registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?ID=CRD42020206597.
