Efficacy of durvalumab combined with cisplatin and docetaxel as neoadjuvant therapy in the treatment of locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients
Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of durvalumab combined with cisplatin and docetaxel as neoadjuvant therapy in the treatment of locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)patients.Methods This prospective,single-arm clinical study included twenty-five patients with locally advanced NSCLC from January 2020 to March 2021 who received durvalumab combined with cisplatin and docetaxel neoadjuvant therapy for 2 cycles before surgery.Then they received durvalumab monotherapy or combined with cisplatin and docetaxel adjuvant therapy after surgery.After discharge,patients were followed up every 1 to 2 months for the first six months and every 3 to 6 months thereafter.The primary outcome was pathological remission rate.Secondary outcome measures were clinical response rate,disease-free survival(DFS),and overall survival(OS).Results The mean age of all enrolled patients was(59.84±7.14)years,including 18 males(72.00%)and 7 females(28.00%).The primary outcome indicated that 56%patients achieved significant pathological response,among which 24%achieved complete pathological response.The secondary outcome showed that 0,60%,36%and 4%patients achieved clinical complete response,partial response,disease stability and disease progression,and the overall objective response rate was 60%.The 1-year DFS was 79%,and the 1-year OS was 90%.There was no correlation of Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status and TNM stage with DFS or OS.Besides,The most common adverse events were alopecia(48%),fatigue(40%),nausea and vomiting(36%).Most of the adverse events were at grade 1 to 2,only a few were at grade 3 to 4.Conclusion Durvalumab combined with cisplatin and docetaxel exhibits good efficacy profile as neoadjuvant therapy in locally advanced NSCLC patients.
