The safety and efficacy of anti-PD-1/anti-PD-L1 antibody therapy in the treatment of previously treated, advanced gastric or gastro-oesophageal junction cancer: A meta-analysis of prospective clinical trials
Summary Introduction So far, anti-PD-1/anti-PD-L1 antibody therapy is reportedly in treating gastric cancer or gastro-oesophageal junction cancer (GC/GEJC) in a number of clinical trials. Based on this, we conducted current meta-analysis to assess the safety and efficacy of anti-PD-1/anti-PD-L1 antibody for previously treated advanced GC/GEJC patients. Methods We searched five electronic databases for eligible records. Outcomes were presented and analyzed by objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and adverse effects (AEs). Results Nine records involving 1388 participants were selected in our study. The pooled ORR, DCR, OS rate (6 month), PFS rate (6 month), OS rate (12 month) and PFS rate (12 month) were 10% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 6%–14%), 32% (95%CI: 25%–38%), 52% (95%CI: 44%–61%), 18% (95%CI: 13%–24%), 40% (95%CI: 31%–48%) and 8% (95%CI: 5%–10%), respectively. Meanwhile, grade ≥ 3 AEs rate was 12% (95% CI: 10%-15%). Programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) positive cases had higher rate of ORR (odds ratio [OR]: 3.75, 95%CI: 2.09–6.74, P = 0.58) compared with negative cases. Conclusion The results indicated that anti-PD-1/anti-PD-L1 antibody therapy has an effectual anti-tumor activity and controllable AEs in advanced GC/GEJC patients. Furthermore, overexpression of PD-L1 in advanced GC/GEJC patients had better ORR from anti-PD-1/anti-PD-L1 antibody therapy (PROSPERO registration number: CRD42018116480).
