Background: In the EV-301 trial, enfortumab vedotin prolonged survival in patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma previously treated with platinum-based therapy and programmed cell death 1/programmed death-ligand 1 inhibitor. However, real-world Asian data are limited, and potential prognostic markers are non-existent. We aimed to investigate potential prognostic markers for enfortumab vedotin therapy in Asian patients. Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 61 Japanese patients treated with enfortumab vedotin therapy at our hospital and affiliated hospitals between January 2019 and September 2023. Results: Enrolled patients (38 men, 23 women; median age 74 [IQR: 68–79] years) had bladder cancer (26 patients) or upper-tract urothelial carcinoma (35 patients). Fifty-four patients reported adverse events (grade >3 in 12). Skin disorders, pruritus, and neuropathy were common adverse effects. The median overall survival was 17.1 months (95% confidence interval: 10.0–not applicable). In multivariate analysis, the C-reactive protein level was an independent marker predicting favorable overall survival with enfortumab vedotin. Patient characteristics did not differ between C-reactive protein-high and -low groups. Conclusions: Our study provides real-world data showing that enfortumab vedotin prolonged survival in Asian patients similar to the EV-301 trial. Additionally, the C-reactive protein level might be considered a prognostic marker of enfortumab vedotin therapy in such patients.
背景:在EV-301试验中,enfortumab vedotin(维迪西妥单抗)可延长既往接受过铂类化疗及程序性死亡受体1/程序性死亡配体1抑制剂治疗的局部晚期或转移性尿路上皮癌患者的生存期。然而,亚洲地区的真实世界数据有限,且缺乏潜在的预后标志物。本研究旨在探索亚洲患者接受enfortumab vedotin治疗的潜在预后标志物。 方法:我们回顾性纳入2019年1月至2023年9月期间在本院及附属医院接受enfortumab vedotin治疗的61例日本患者。 结果:入组患者(男性38例,女性23例;中位年龄74岁[四分位距:68-79岁])包括膀胱癌(26例)和上尿路尿路上皮癌(35例)。54例患者报告了不良事件(其中12例为3级以上)。皮肤病变、瘙痒和神经病变是常见的不良反应。中位总生存期为17.1个月(95%置信区间:10.0-未达到)。多变量分析显示,C反应蛋白水平是预测enfortumab vedotin治疗良好总生存期的独立标志物。高C反应蛋白组与低C反应蛋白组患者的基线特征无显著差异。 结论:本研究提供的真实世界数据表明,enfortumab vedotin可延长亚洲患者的生存期,与EV-301试验结果一致。此外,C反应蛋白水平可能作为此类患者接受enfortumab vedotin治疗的预后标志物。
