Clinical Benefits

194 Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors selection in advanced melanoma is complicated further, with choices among anti-CTLA4 or anti-PD-1 therapeutic antibodies options. We aimed to evaluate the clinical benefits of immune checkpoint inhibitors for discussing evidence-based treatment strategies by a meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) data. Methods: We searched for RCTs investigating immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with advanced melanoma until September 2017. Hazard ratios (HRs) was estimated for overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). The quality of the evidence was evaluated with the GRADE framework. Results: Overall, 18 RCTs including a total of 8,917 patients were identified. Immune checkpoint inhibitors versus placebo or observation prolonged PFS (HR = 0.59, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.44 to 0.78, P < 0.0001) and OS (HR = 0.77, 95% CI 0.72 to 0.84, P < 0.0001). The combination immunotherapy had significantly higher benefit than monotherapy for PFS (HR = 0.75, 95% CI 0.61 to 0.92, P = 0.005) and OS (HR = 0.70, 95% CI 0.61 to 0.79, P < 0.0001). Treatment with anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody was associated with improved PFS (HR = 0.61, 95% CI 0.59 to 0.69, P < 0.0001) and OS (HR = 0.66, 95% CI 0.58 to 0.77, P < 0.0001) compared with anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody. According to BRAF status analysis, there was a PFS benefit of immune checkpoint inhibitors versus placebo or observation (mutant, HR = 0.58, 95% CI 0.35 to 0.96, P = 0.035; wild–type, HR = 0.52, 95% CI 0.43 to 0.69, P = 0.001), anti-PD-1 outperformed anti-CTLA-4 checkpoint inhibitor (mutant, PFS HR = 0.64, 95% CI 0.51 to 0.79, P < 0.0001; wild–type, PFS HR = 0.58, 95% CI 0.47 to 0.71, P < 0.0001); and combination compared with single-agent immunotherapy (mutant, HR = 0.38, 95% CI 0.15 to 0.98, P = 0.046; wild–type, HR = 0.40, 95% CI 0.23 to 0.69, P = 0.001). Conclusions: This analysis provides an evidence that immune checkpoint inhibitors enhanced OS and PFS in patients with advanced melanoma, as well as combination immunotherapy and anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody appear to be clinically beneficial option preference.

Despite the promising anticancer effects of immune checkpoint inhibitors, their low objective response rate remains to be resolved; thus, combination therapies have been investigated. We investigated the combination of an anti-programmed cell death 1 (aPD-1) monoclonal antibody with the knockdown of vascular endothelial factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) on tumor endothelial cells to overcome resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors and improve the objective response rate. The successful delivery of small interfering RNA to tumor endothelial cells was achieved by RGD peptide-modified lipid nanoparticles composed of a novel, pH-sensitive, and biodegradable ssPalmO-Phe. RGD-modified lipid nanoparticles efficiently induced the knockdown of VEGFR2 in tumor endothelial cells (TECs), which induced vascular normalization. The combination of a PD-1 monoclonal antibody with Vegfr2 knockdown enhanced CD8+ T cell infiltration into tumors and successfully suppressed tumor growth and improved response rate compared with monotherapy. Our combination approach provides a promising strategy to improve therapeutic outcomes in immune checkpoint inhibitor-resistant cancers.
