Résumé

The efficacy of immunotherapy plus neoadjuvant chemotherapy and concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) for locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LA-NPC) has not been reported. This study retrospectively compared the efficacy of tislelizumab plus neoadjuvant chemotherapy and CCRT with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by CCRT. Ninety patients with stages III-IVa NPC were identified between January 2020 and March 2021 at the Affiliate Hospital of Guangdong Medical University. Forty-three patients in the observation group (OG) received tislelizumab plus nano albumin-paclitaxel and cisplatin (nab-TP) regimen, followed by CCRT, while forty-seven patients in the control group (CG) received nab-TP regimen followed by CCRT. The complete response rate after neoadjuvant therapy was significantly higher in the OG compared to the CG (37.2% vs. 12.8 %). The objective response rates were 88.4 % in the OG and 70.2 % in the CG. The 3-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates for OG and CG patients were 93.0 % and 78.7 %, respectively (P = 0.04, HR = 0.31). The overall survival (OS) rates for the OG and the CG were 95.3 % and 87.2 %, respectively (P = 0.15, HR = 0.36). Locoregional relapse-free survival (LRFS) rates were 90.7 % for the OG and 72.3 % for the CG (P = 0.04, HR = 0.38), and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) rates were 95.3 % for the OG, and 80.9 % for the CG (P = 0.04, HR = 0.30). For PD-L1 high-expression and low-expression rates, the 3-year PFS rates were 89.2 % and 85.7 % (P = 0.77, HR = 1.21), and the OS rates were 90.2 % and 89.2 % (P = 0.65, HR = 1.36), respectively. Tislelizumab combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and CCRT showed encouraging therapeutic effects and good tolerability in patients with LA-NPC compared to the standard treatment.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
The efficacy of immunotherapy plus neoadjuvant chemotherapy and concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) for locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LA-NPC) has not been reported. This study retrospectively compared the efficacy of tislelizumab plus neoadjuvant chemotherapy and CCRT with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by CCRT.
METHODS METHODS
Ninety patients with stages III-IVa NPC were identified between January 2020 and March 2021 at the Affiliate Hospital of Guangdong Medical University. Forty-three patients in the observation group (OG) received tislelizumab plus nano albumin-paclitaxel and cisplatin (nab-TP) regimen, followed by CCRT, while forty-seven patients in the control group (CG) received nab-TP regimen followed by CCRT.
RESULTS RESULTS
The complete response rate after neoadjuvant therapy was significantly higher in the OG compared to the CG (37.2% vs. 12.8 %). The objective response rates were 88.4 % in the OG and 70.2 % in the CG. The 3-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates for OG and CG patients were 93.0 % and 78.7 %, respectively (P = 0.04, HR = 0.31). The overall survival (OS) rates for the OG and the CG were 95.3 % and 87.2 %, respectively (P = 0.15, HR = 0.36). Locoregional relapse-free survival (LRFS) rates were 90.7 % for the OG and 72.3 % for the CG (P = 0.04, HR = 0.38), and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) rates were 95.3 % for the OG, and 80.9 % for the CG (P = 0.04, HR = 0.30). For PD-L1 high-expression and low-expression rates, the 3-year PFS rates were 89.2 % and 85.7 % (P = 0.77, HR = 1.21), and the OS rates were 90.2 % and 89.2 % (P = 0.65, HR = 1.36), respectively.
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
Tislelizumab combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and CCRT showed encouraging therapeutic effects and good tolerability in patients with LA-NPC compared to the standard treatment.
