PD-1/PD-L1抑制剂在外周T细胞淋巴瘤治疗中的研究进展#br#

外周T细胞淋巴瘤（peripheral T-cell lymphoma, PTCL）是一组高度异质性和侵袭性的非霍奇金淋巴瘤（non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma,NHL）。在目前化疗为主的治疗下,PTCL患者通常预后差,复发率高,因此需要积极探索新药来改善预后。肿瘤微环境（tumor microenvironment,TME）在多种肿瘤中发挥重要作用,程序性死亡［蛋白］-1（programmed death-1,PD-1）/程序性死亡［蛋白］配体-1（programmed death ligand-1,PD-L1）信号通路是参与肿瘤免疫逃逸的重要途径之一,针对PD-1/PD-L1通路的抑制剂在多种肿瘤中疗效显著,在PTCL的治疗上也有广阔的应用前景。研究表明在PTCL多种亚型中均有不同程度PD-1/PD-L1的表达,且PD-1单抗在部分亚型中疗效显著。现就PD-1/PD-L1在PTCL中的表达情况和其抑制剂的治疗进展作一综述。

PD-1/PD-L1抑制剂在淋巴瘤治疗中的研究进展

近年来,肿瘤生物免疫治疗因其显著的疗效而迅速发展为肿瘤研究领域的热点。程序性死亡受体-1（programmed death-1,PD-1）与其配体（programmed death ligand-1,PD-L1）在多种肿瘤细胞中过表达,参与肿瘤的发生、发展及侵袭转移。因此,PD-1/PDL1信号通路成为了肿瘤免疫治疗的有效新靶点。目前,PD-1/PD-L1抑制剂在淋巴瘤治疗研究中取得了较好的疗效。本文将对该类药物的相关临床研究现状进行综述,旨在加深对PD-1/PD-L1信号通路的作用机制及相关抗体应用于淋巴瘤治疗的认识。

程序性死亡蛋白1及其配体在结直肠癌中的临床研究现状

程序性死亡蛋白-1(Programmed cell death protein-1,PD-1)通过与程序性死亡蛋白配体-1(Programmed cell death protein ligand-1,PD-L1)相互作用进而发挥负向调节机体免疫反应机制,促使肿瘤细胞发生免疫逃逸。以PD-1/PD-L1为靶点的免疫治疗已成为肿瘤治疗的新模式。目前,手术和放化疗仍然是结直肠癌的主要治疗手段,但生存率没有明显的改善。研究显示PD-1/PD-L1抑制剂单药治疗或与放化疗和手术联合治疗在结直肠癌中取得了可观的效果,且相关的临床试验正在进行。本文阐述了PD-1/PD-L1信号通路相关的分子生物学机制及PD-L1的表达与结直肠癌放化疗和预后的关系,并介绍了PD-1/PD-L1抑制剂在结直肠癌中的临床研究进展。

晚期胃癌免疫检查点PD-1/PD-L1抑制剂联合治疗的研究进展

胃癌是最为常见的恶性肿瘤之一，在中国其发病率和死亡率均较高，大多数胃癌初诊即已为晚期，预后较差，目前治疗现状仍不理想。免疫逃逸是肿瘤发生发展的一主要机制，细胞程序性死亡受体-1（programmed death-1，PD-1）及细胞程序性死亡配体（programmed death-ligand 1，PD-L1）是导致免疫逃逸的重要分子，PD-1与PD-L1结合是肿瘤细胞免疫逃逸的重要发病机制之一，特异性阻断二者结合，可达到杀灭肿瘤细胞的目的。PD-1/PD-L1抑制剂可明显改善晚期胃癌患者预后，并且PD-1/PD-L1抑制剂联合化疗、靶向治疗、放疗等可进一步提高疗效。本文就PD-1/PD-L1抑制剂联合治疗在晚期胃癌中的治疗进展进行综述。

Interobserver Reliability of Programmed Cell Death Ligand-1 Scoring Using the VENTANA PD-L1 (SP263) Assay in NSCLC

IntroductionThe VENTANA PD-L1 (SP263) Assay is approved for use with anti–programmed cell death-1/programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-1/PD-L1) therapies in NSCLC and urothelial carcinoma. Here, we investigate interobserver reliability of the SP263 assay, applied to PD-L1 scoring of tumor cells (TCs) in NSCLC.MethodsSix practicing European pulmonary pathologists independently scored the proportion of TCs expressing PD-L1 (TC score) from 200 archival, commercially sourced, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded NSCLC resections stained using the SP263 assay. Agreement in scores was analyzed using the intraclass correlation coefficient and concordance in patient’s classification using Fleiss’ kappa.ResultsResults from 172 samples showed strong pair-wise correlations between pathologists (R² >0.89) for TC scoring with an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.96. Overall agreement was greater than 90% for TC of 1% and above, and greater than 94% for TCs of at least 25% and at least 50%. Fleiss’ kappa showed substantial agreement for TC of 1% and above, and almost perfect agreement for TCs of at least 25% and at least 50%.ConclusionsAssessment of TC score in NSCLC was highly reproducible using the SP263 assay, building confidence in the accuracy of this assay in selection of patients for anti–PD-1/PD-L1 therapy.     

Emerging therapeutic strategies for enhancing sensitivity and countering resistance to programmed cell death protein 1 or programmed death-ligand 1 inhibitors in non–small cell lung cancer

The availability of agents targeting the programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) immune checkpoint has transformed treatment of advanced and/or metastatic non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, a substantial proportion of patients treated with these agents do not respond or experience only a brief period of clinical benefit. Even among those whose disease responds, many subsequently experience disease progression. Consequently, novel approaches are needed that enhance antitumor immunity and counter resistance to PD-(L)1 inhibitors, thereby improving and/or prolonging responses and patient outcomes, in both PD-(L)1 inhibitor-sensitive and inhibitor-resistant NSCLC. Mechanisms contributing to sensitivity and/or resistance to PD-(L)1 inhibitors in NSCLC include upregulation of other immune checkpoints and/or the presence of an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, which represent potential targets for new therapies. This review explores novel therapeutic regimens under investigation for enhancing responses to PD-(L)1 inhibitors and countering resistance, and summarizes the latest clinical evidence in NSCLC.

The Significance of the PD-L1 Expression in Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer: Trenchant Double Swords as Predictive and Prognostic Markers

Lung cancer is the leading cause of death due to cancer worldwide. Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy have been the standard treatment for lung cancer, and targeted molecular therapy has greatly improved the clinical course of patients with non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring driver mutations, such as in epidermal growth factor receptor and anaplastic lymphoma kinase genes. Despite advances in such therapies, the prognosis of patients with NSCLC without driver oncogene mutations remains poor. Immunotherapy targeting programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) and programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) has recently been shown to improve the survival in advanced NSCLC. The PD-L1 expression on the surface of tumor cells has emerged as a potential biomarker for predicting responses to immunotherapy and prognosis after surgery in NSCLC. However, the utility of PD-L1 expression as a predictive and prognostic biomarker remains controversial because of the existence of various PD-L1 antibodies, scoring systems, and positivity cutoffs. In this review, we summarize the data from representative clinical trials of PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitors in NSCLC and previous reports on the association between PD-L1 expression and clinical outcomes in patients with NSCLC. Furthermore, we discuss the future perspectives of immunotherapy and immune checkpoint factors.     

Correlation of PD-L1 Expression with Tumor Mutation Burden and Gene Signatures for Prognosis in Early-Stage Squamous Cell Lung Carcinoma

Objectives

Anti–programmed cell death 1 (PD-1)/programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) immunotherapy has demonstrated success in the treatment of advanced NSCLC. Recently, PD-1/PD-L1 blockade also has demonstrated interesting results in small trials of neoadjuvant treatment in stage IB to IIIA NSCLC. In addition, several clinical trials using anti–PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy as an adjuvant or neoadjuvant treatment in patients with resectable stage NSCLC are ongoing. However, few analyses of anti–PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy–related biomarkers in early-stage squamous cell lung carcinoma (SqCLC) have been reported. In this study, we evaluated PD-L1 protein expression, tumor mutation burden, and expression of an immune gene signature in early-stage SqCLC, providing data for identifying the potential role for patients with anti–PD-1/PD-L1 treatment in early-stage SqCLC.
