ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
There is a desperate for the identification of more accurate and efficient biomarkers for ICI responses in patients with SCLC.METHODS:
The data of our study was obtained from IMpower133 study. A total of 202 patients with SCLC received the treatment of placebo plus carboplatin plus etoposide (EC) while a total of 201 patients with SCLC received the treatment of atezolizumab plus EC. Overall survival (OS) was compared using Kaplan Meier analyses. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis were used to determine independent prognostic variables affecting OS in patients with SCLC.RESULTS:
We have demonstrated that a higher TMB adjusted by a lower neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is significantly correlated with improved OS, in patients with SCLC subject to either atezolizumab or placebo (P = 0.001 for atezolizumab and P = 0.034 for placebo). Moreover, Cox model showed that TMB < 10 mut/Mb adjusted by NLR ≥ median was an independent factor of OS for atezolizumab-treated SCLC patients (hazard ratio [HR], 2.82; 95% confidence interval; 1.52-5.24; P = 0.001). Both univariate and multivariate cox regression analysis showed that for patients with SCLC harboring low NLR and high TMB, survival is significantly longer in those treated with atezolizumab than those treated with placebo. Survival benefit is significantly higher in atezolizumab-treated patients with SCLC than those treated with placebo (P = 0.018 for TMB cutoff = 10 mut/Mb, P = 0.034 for TMB cutoff = 16 mut/Mb).CONCLUSION:
Our findings provide a promising insight into the utility of NLR-adjusted TMB in the prognosis and immune responses in patients with SCLC.Palavras-chave
