The relationship between clinicopathological variables, systemic inflammation, and CT‐derived body composition with survival in patients with advanced non‐small cell lung cancer receiving nivolumab as a second‐line treatment

Background Second‐line immunotherapy is currently recognized to help only a subset of patients with advanced forms of non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The current study analyzes the connection between prior treatment host/tumor characteristics and survival in advanced NSCLC patients receiving niv...

Description
Summary:	Background Second‐line immunotherapy is currently recognized to help only a subset of patients with advanced forms of non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The current study analyzes the connection between prior treatment host/tumor characteristics and survival in advanced NSCLC patients receiving nivolumab as a second‐line therapy. Methods A retrospective cohort analysis was carried out on individuals with advanced NSCLC receiving second‐line Nivolumab with palliative intent between February 2016 and May 2019 across three health boards in NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, Lanarkshire, Ayrshire, and Arran in Scotland to examine the association between systemic inflammation, body composition, and survival were determined using computed tomography (CT). Results The current study investigates the connection between prior treatment host/tumor characteristics and survival in advanced NSCLC patients receiving nivolumab as a second‐line therapy. The majority were 65 years of age or older (51%), female (53%), had adenocarcinoma (53%), and had good performance status (ECOG 0/1) (86%). Most patients had high SFI (70%) or VFA (54%). The median overall survival after starting Nivolumab was 15 months. ECOG‐PS and hypoalbuminemia were significant predictors of 12‐month survival in patients with advanced NSCLC following Nivolumab treatment, according to Cox regression (p‐value = 0.047 and 0.014, respectively). Conclusion In patients with advanced NSCLC receiving Nivolumab as a second‐line therapy, ECOG‐PS and hypoalbuminemia were strongly associated with survival. Systemic inflammation and hypoalbuminemia measurements may enhance the ECOG‐PS stratification of expected outcomes. The relationship between pre‐treatment clinicopathological variables, systemic inflammation, CT‐body composition, and 12 months survival in patients with NSCLC receiving Nivolumab as a second line treatment.
