Résumé

Sarcopenia is a condition characterized by loss of skeletal muscle mass associated with worse clinical outcomes in cancer patients. Data on sarcopenia in patients undergoing immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) therapy are still limited. The aim of this prospective observational study was to investigate the relationship between sarcopenia, ICI treatment response and immunological profile, in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Forty-seven stage IV NSCLC patient candidates for starting ICI, were enrolled from the Policlinico Umberto I outpatient Oncology. Patients underwent baseline blood test, inflammatory markers, cytokine assessment and body composition with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Sarcopenia was defined with appendicular skeletal muscle mass over height Overall, 19/47 patients (40.4%) results were sarcopenic. Sarcopenic patients showed significantly shorter PFS than non-sarcopenic ones (20.3 weeks, 95% CI 7.5-33.1 vs. 61 weeks, 95% CI 22.5-99.4, Sarcopenic patients showed worse PFS and had a higher risk of PD compared to non-sarcopenic ones. Therefore, sarcopenia may reflect the increased metabolic activity of more aggressive tumors, which involves systemic inflammation and muscle wasting and could be considered a negative predictive factor for ICI response.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Sarcopenia is a condition characterized by loss of skeletal muscle mass associated with worse clinical outcomes in cancer patients. Data on sarcopenia in patients undergoing immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) therapy are still limited. The aim of this prospective observational study was to investigate the relationship between sarcopenia, ICI treatment response and immunological profile, in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
METHODS METHODS
Forty-seven stage IV NSCLC patient candidates for starting ICI, were enrolled from the Policlinico Umberto I outpatient Oncology. Patients underwent baseline blood test, inflammatory markers, cytokine assessment and body composition with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Sarcopenia was defined with appendicular skeletal muscle mass over height
RESULTS RESULTS
Overall, 19/47 patients (40.4%) results were sarcopenic. Sarcopenic patients showed significantly shorter PFS than non-sarcopenic ones (20.3 weeks, 95% CI 7.5-33.1 vs. 61 weeks, 95% CI 22.5-99.4,
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
Sarcopenic patients showed worse PFS and had a higher risk of PD compared to non-sarcopenic ones. Therefore, sarcopenia may reflect the increased metabolic activity of more aggressive tumors, which involves systemic inflammation and muscle wasting and could be considered a negative predictive factor for ICI response.
