Abstract
BACKGROUND An important unmet need for new treatment options remains for patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M-HNSCC) previously treated with both platinum-based chemotherapy and anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) antibody. Retrospective studies suggest that previous treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitor might augment the efficacy of subsequent chemotherapy. Here, we conducted a phase II trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of paclitaxel plus biweekly cetuximab for patients in this setting. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a single-arm, multicenter, phase II trial. Key eligibility criteria were R/M-HNSCC, and previous treatment with both platinum-based chemotherapy and PD-1 antibody. Paclitaxel plus biweekly cetuximab consisted of weekly paclitaxel 100 mg/m2 (days 1, 8, 15) and biweekly cetuximab 500 mg/m2 (days 1, 15) with a cycle of 28 days until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR). Secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), disease control rate (DCR), and adverse events (AEs) (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0). RESULTS Between August 2020 and August 2022, 35 patients were enrolled, of whom 33 were assessable for response. ORR was 69.6% (95% confidence interval 51.2% to 84.4%). With a median follow-up period for survivors of 16.6 months, median PFS and OS were 5.5 and 13.3 months, respectively. DCR was 93.7%. Twenty-three patients (65%) experienced grade 3 or 4 AEs, including neutropenia (34%), infection (14%), leukopenia (11%), mucositis (8%), and pneumonitis (8%). Eight patients discontinued study treatment due to treatment-related AEs, and no treatment-related death was observed. CONCLUSIONS Paclitaxel plus biweekly cetuximab showed highly encouraging efficacy and manageable toxicities in R/M-HNSCC patients previously treated with both platinum-based chemotherapy and PD-1 antibody. This combination therapy warrants further investigation in this setting.

Drug-induced interstitial lung disease: a real-world pharmacovigilance study of the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System from 2004 to 2021. Ther Adv Drug Saf 2024; 15:20420986231224227. [PMID: 38293566 PMCID: PMC10823853 DOI: 10.1177/20420986231224227] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2023] [Accepted: 12/15/2023] [Indexed: 02/01/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Drug-induced interstitial lung disease (DILD) is an increasingly common cause of morbidity and mortality. However, due to the lack of specificity, DILD detection remains an unsolved public health challenge. Objectives For the first time, we aimed to examine DILD reports submitted to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) to identify demographic characteristics and top drugs associated with DILD at a group level (including age, sex, drug class, and country stratification) and individual drug level. Design A retrospective analysis of the FAERS database was examined by disproportionality analysis. Methods We reviewed the FAERS database from 2004 to 2021, using search terms 'interstitial lung disease' and sorting cases by generic drug name. The reporting odds ratio, proportional reporting ratio, and Bayesian confidence propagation neural network were calculated as the measure of strength of association. Results There were 32,821 DILD reports in the FAERS. After excluding reports without age, sex, or country data according to the specific measurement, the median age of patients was 68 (interquartile range: 59), 54.77% were male, and 46.00% of reports came from Japan. The top drug classes related to DILD in the FAERS were antineoplastic, followed by cardiovascular and antirheumatic agents, in varying order in different sexes. Fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki, ramucirumab, and eribulin were the top three drugs with the highest strength of association. We also found some drugs without DILD in the labels, such as amiodarone, temsirolimus, and ursodiol. There are significant differences in DILD reports in various countries. For example, the United States and France reported more cardiovascular agents, whereas Canada reported more antirheumatic agents. Conclusion We found the top drugs and drug classes that were associated with DILD in the FAERS, which provides a real-world window for different ages, sexes, and countries to formulate precise pharmacovigilance policies.

Chemotherapy following immune checkpoint inhibitors in recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: clinical effectiveness and influence of inflammatory and nutritional factors. Discov Oncol 2023; 14:158. [PMID: 37642856 PMCID: PMC10465419 DOI: 10.1007/s12672-023-00774-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2023] [Accepted: 08/18/2023] [Indexed: 08/31/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of chemotherapy following immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). The association between inflammatory and nutritional factors and prognosis has also been investigated. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (RMHNSCC) patients who received chemotherapy following ICI therapy. The response rate and survival after chemotherapy, and nutritional and inflammatory factors, were examined. RESULTS The ICI before chemotherapy was nivolumab in 36 patients (70.6%) and pembrolizumab in 15 patients (29.4%). The chemotherapy regimens consisted of PTX in 32 patients (62.7%), PTX + Cmab in 9 (17.6%), and S1 in 10 (19.6%). The median overall survival (OS) was 20 months (95% CI 12-25), the estimated 12-month OS rate was 63.3%, the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 5 months (CI 4-6), and the 12-month PFS estimate was 8.9%. Univariate analysis significantly correlated Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), controlling nutritional status score (CONUT), and prognostic nutrition index (PNI) with OS and PFS. Additionally, these factors were significantly correlated with OS and PFS in the log-rank tests. CONCLUSIONS Chemotherapy following ICI is highly effective. There were no significant differences in the chemotherapy regimens. Inflammatory and nutritional factors may associate with patient prognosis after chemotherapy.

Abstract
Severe drug-induced lung injury (DLI) has been reported to be associated with sequential administration of osimertinib, a third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor, following a programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitor. However, the relationship of sequential treatment with an anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antibody and PD-1 inhibitor with the risk of DLI remains to be elucidated. The present study conducted a retrospective review of the medical records of a total of 179 patients with head and neck cancer who had received treatment with cetuximab and/or a PD-1 inhibitor (nivolumab or pembrolizumab) at Chiba University Hospital (Chiba, Japan) between September 2014 and December 2020. The incidence of pneumonia and the clinical background characteristics of the patients were analyzed. The patients were classified into subgroups for analysis of the outcomes in this study: Patients who had received sequential, but not concurrent, cetuximab and PD-1 inhibitor treatment (Group C+P; n=43); patients who had received cetuximab-containing chemotherapy, but not a PD-1 inhibitor (Group C; n=101); and patients who had received PD-1 inhibitor-containing chemotherapy, but not cetuximab (Group P; n=35). The rates of DLI in the three groups were: Group C+P, 18.6%; Group C, 7.9%; and Group P, 11.4%. Prior use of ICI was not associated with any increase in the risk of DLI. DLI is seen frequently in patients receiving sequential PD-1 inhibitor and anti-EGFR antibody therapy.

Effectiveness and safety of weekly paclitaxel and cetuximab as a salvage chemotherapy following immune checkpoint inhibitors for recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: A multicenter clinical study. PLoS One 2022; 17:e0271907. [PMID: 35901098 PMCID: PMC9333293 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0271907] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2021] [Accepted: 07/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The benefit of sequential therapy after immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) treatment for recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC) has been recently reported. Furthermore, there is a growing interest in the impact of cetuximab (Cmab)-containing salvage chemotherapy (SCT) and the therapeutic efficacy and adverse events (AEs) of Cmab administration prior to ICI administration. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 52 patients with R/M HNSCC treated with SCT (weekly paclitaxel [PTX], n = 7, or weekly PTX and Cmab [PC], n = 45). RESULTS The objective response rate (ORR) and a disease control rate (DCR) was 53.3% and 91.1% in the PC group and 42.9% and 57.1% in the PTX group, respectively. There was a significant difference in the DCR between the PC and PTX groups (p = 0.0143). The overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival were significantly better in the PC group than in the PTX group. On the other hand, the incidence of drug-induced interstitial pneumonia (DI-IP) in R/M HNSCC patients who received SCT was 21.2%. Patients in the PC group were divided according to whether they received Cmab (Group A) or did not receive Cmab (Group B) as palliative therapy prior to ICIs. Group B had a significantly better OS than Group A. Furthermore, our findings suggest that the incidence rate of DI-IP during SCT might be higher in Group B. CONCLUSION Although PC following ICIs shows dramatic efficacy, careful monitoring of AEs, including DI-IP, is recommended.
