Abstrakt: Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have changed the therapeutic landscape of many solid tumors. Modulation of the intestinal microbiota by antibiotics (Abx) has been suggested to impact on ICI outcomes.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of 475 patients with advanced solid tumors treated with ICI from 2015 to 2022. For each patient, the use of Abx was recorded from 1 month before ICI initiation until disease progression or death. The impact of Abx on objective response rates (ORR), disease control rates (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) was analyzed. Kaplan-Meier and log-rank tests were used to compare survival outcomes.
Results: In total 475 patients with advanced solid tumors were evaluated. Median age was 67.5 years and performance status (PS) was 0-1 in 84.6%. 66.5% of patients received Abx during treatment with ICI, mainly beta-lactams (53.8%) and quinolones (35.9%). The early exposure to Abx (from 60 days before to 42 days after the first cycle of ICI) was associated with a lower ORR (27.4% vs 39.4%; P < .01), a lower DCR (37.3% vs 57.4%; P < .001), lower PFS (16.8 m vs 27.8 m; HR 0.66; P < .001]) and lower OS (2.5 m vs 6.6 m; HR 0.68; P = .001]). The negative impact of Abx on OS and PFS was confirmed by a multivariable analysis. This effect was not observed among patients receiving Abx after 6 weeks from ICI initiation.
Conclusions: Our results validate the hypothesis of a detrimental effect of an early exposure to Abxon the efficacy of ICI in a multi-tumor cohort of patients.
