Summary
- This summary is based on the review of four systematic review(s)/meta-analysis(es). [1-4]
- The addition of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) to chemotherapy significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) in advanced endometrial cancer patients, with a pooled hazard ratio (HR) of 0.63 (95% confidence interval (CI), 0.52-0.76) in the overall population, and a greater benefit in deficient DNA (ctDNA) mismatch repair (dMMR) patients (pooled HR, 0.34; 95% CI, 0.27-0.44).
- For proficient DNA mismatch repair (pMMR) patients, PFS improvement was significant only when anti-PD1 (pembrolizumab, nivolumab, dostarlimab) agents were used (HR 0.64; 95% CI, 0.46-0.90), while anti-programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) (avelumab, atezolizumab, durvalumab) agents did not show a statistically significant benefit (HR 0.87; 95% CI, 0.73-1.03).
- Overall response rates (ORR) for single-agent anti-PD1 and anti-PD-L1 therapies ranged from 26.7% to 58% in microsatellite instability (MSI) patients and from 3% to 26.7% in microsatellite stable (MSS) patients, with combinations of ICIs and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) showing ORRs of 32% to 63.6% in all-comers.
- Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were reported in 54.2% to 76% of patients, with the combination of ICIs and TKIs showing a higher toxicity rate, with grade ≥3 TRAEs reaching 88.9%.
- Single-agent ICIs, such as pembrolizumab, nivolumab, and dostarlimab, had a lower incidence of severe TRAEs compared to combination therapies with TKIs, which demonstrated a higher overall toxicity profile.
- In advanced endometrial cancer, patients with dMMR benefit significantly from both anti-PD1 and anti-PD-L1 agents, while pMMR patients only show a significant benefit when treated with anti-PD1 agents. Microsatellite instability (MSI) patients have higher ORRs and disease control rates (DCRs) with single-agent ICIs compared to MSS patients, with MSS patients showing greater benefit from the combination of ICIs with TKIs.
