Summary

  • This summary is based on the review of two systematic review(s)/meta-analysis(es). [1-2]
  • Toripalimab plus GP (Gemcitabine-Cisplatin) improved overall survival (OS) in patients with recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (R/M-NPC) compared to placebo plus GP (HR = 0.59, 95% CI: 0.37-0.95).
  • Tislelizumab plus GP was more effective in improving progression-free survival (PFS) (HR = 0.50, 95% CI: 0.37-0.67) and the 1-year PFS rate (RR = 3.00, 95% CI: 1.84-5.22) compared to placebo plus GP. It also demonstrated the best objective response rate (ORR) (RR = 1.26, 95% CI: 1.04-1.53).
  • While toripalimab plus GP was more cost-effective (ICUR of $25,576/QALY), Tislelizumab plus GP showed better overall PFS, 1-year PFS rate, and ORR in comparison to toripalimab plus GP.
  • Tislelizumab plus GP demonstrated a more favorable safety profile compared to toripalimab plus GP, with fewer high-grade adverse events (AES), treatment-related serious adverse events (SAES), and AEs leading to discontinuation of treatment.
  • Tislelizumab plus GP also reported lower incidences of AEs grade ≥3 and treatment-related AEs grade ≥3 compared to toripalimab plus GP, making it a safer option among the chemotherapy-immunotherapy combinations tested.
  • The studies focused on patients with recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (R/M-NPC), but no specific findings or outcomes were reported regarding different population subgroups such as age, gender, or comorbidities. There is no population types or subgroups information available in the reviewed documents.
