No direct comparison has been performed between different programmed cell death-1(PD-1)inhibitors for first-line treatment in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).The feasibility of using PD-L1-expression-guided immunotherapy remains unknown.In this open-label,phase 2 study(NCT04252365),patients with advanced NSCLC without EGFR or ALK alterations were randomized(1∶1)to receive sintilimab or pembrolizumab monotherapy(PD-L1 expression ≥ 50%),or sintilimab or pembrolizumab plus platinum-based chemotherapy(PD-L1 expression<50%).The sample size was cal-culated by optimal two-stage design.The primary endpoint was the objective response rate(ORR).The study included 71 patients(sintilimab arms,n=35;pembrolizumab arms,n=36)and met its primary endpoint,with a confirmed ORR of 51.4%(18/35)in the sintilimab arms.The confirmed ORR(95%confi-dence interval)was 46.2%(19.2%,74.9%)and 42.9%(17.7%,71.1%)for patients treated with sintilimab and pembrolizumab monotherapy;and 54.5%(32.2%,75.6%)and 45.4%(24.4%,67.8%)for those treated with sintilimab-and pembrolizumab-based combination therapies.The median progression-free survival was 6.9 versus 8.1 months for all sintilimab-treated versus all pembrolizumab-treated patients,respectively,in which it was 7.6 versus 11.0 months in monotherapy and 7.4 versus 7.1 months in combination ther-apies.The median overall survival was 14.9 versus 21.3 months for all sintilimab-treated versus all pembrolizumab-treated patients,respectively,in which it was 14.9 versus 22.6 months in monotherapy and 14.7 versus 17.3 months in combination therapies.Treatment-related adverse events were consistent with safety outcomes of monotherapy and combination therapy in previous phase Ⅲ studies.However,the incidence of rash was higher with sintilimab than pembrolizumab monotherapy.This is the first prospective phase 2 study to directly compare two anti-PD-1 antibodies as first-line treatment in advanced NSCLC.Sintilimab was efficacious and well-tolerated irrespective of PD-L1 expression level in patients with advanced NSCLC and had similar efficacy and safety to pembrolizumab.
