ABSTRACT

PURPOSE:

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in combination with chemotherapy have showed its benefits in clinical studies, and here we conducted a further evaluation on the safety and efficacy of this treatment strategy.

METHODS:

A systematic literature review was conducted in PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library to identify clinical studies on ICIs and chemotherapy for metastatic breast cancer. The primary efficacy endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), and adverse events (AEs) were analyzed. Random or fixed effects models were used to estimate pooled Hazard ratio (HR), odds ratio (OR) and the data of 95% confidence interval (CI) depend on the Heterogeneity. Cochrane risk assessment tool was used to assess risk of bias. We also drew forest plots and funnel plots, respectively.

RESULTS:

Seven studies with intend-to-treat (ITT) population for 3255 patients were analyzed. ICIs pooled therapy showed clinical benefits compared with chemotherapy alone, improving PFS (HR = 0.81, 95% CI 0.74-0.90) of patients with metastatic triple negative breast cancer (mTNBC), especially in patients with PD-L1-positive tumors. However, it had no effect on OS (HR = 0.92, 95% CI 0.85-1.01). Besides, mTNBC patients received pooled therapy were less frequently to have AEs (OR = 1.30, 95% CI 1.09-1.54). In patients with metastatic Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) negative breast cancer, pooled therapy showed no benefit for PFS (HR = 0.80, 95% CI 0.50-1.28) and OS (HR = 0.87, 95% CI 0.48-1.58).

CONCLUSION:

Pooled therapy had improved PFS in mTNBC patients, especially in patients with PD-L1-positive tumors, and it was less likely to cause grade ≥ 3 AEs.
