ABSTRACT
Soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) suppresses effector T-cells. Few studies have assessed serum sIL-2R in patients receiving immunotherapy. We evaluated the association between serum sIL-2R levels and the efficacy of anti-programmed cell death 1/ programmed death-ligand 1 (anti-PD-1/PD-L1) antibody combined with chemotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. We prospectively enrolled NSCLC patients who received anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody combined with platinum-based chemotherapy between 8/2019 and 8/2020 and measured their serum sIL-2R. The patients were divided into high and low sIL-2R groups based on the median of sIL-2R levels at pretreatment. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients in the high and low sIL-2R groups were compared. The Kaplan-Meier curves of PFS and OS were evaluated using the log-rank test. The multivariate analysis of PFS and OS was performed using the Cox proportional hazard models. Among 54 patients (median age 65, range 34-84), 39 were male and 43 had non-squamous cell carcinoma. The sIL-2R cut-off value was 533 U/mL. Median PFS was 5.1 months (95% CI, 1.8-7.5 months) and 10.1 months (95% CI, 8.3-not reached [NR] months) in the high and low sIL-2R groups (P = 0.007), respectively. Median OS was 10.3 months (95% CI, 4.0-NR months) and NR (95% CI, 10.3-NR months) in the high and low sIL-2R groups (P = 0.005), respectively. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that high sIL-2R was significantly associated with shorter PFS and OS. SIL-2R may be a biomarker for the poor efficacy of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody combined with chemotherapy.
