Abstract 1053P
Background
ICIs used across multiple disease sites including both early and advanced stage cancers. Systemic inflammatory markers including neutrophil to lymphocyte ratios (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratios (PLR) and lymphocyte to monocyte ratios (LMR) has been found to be prognostic across different tumor types, but less is known about their prognostic role in patients receiving ICIs. Here we used population-level administrative data to evaluate the potential association between NLR, PLR and LMR and overall survival (OS) among patients receiving ICIs.
Methods
We used administrative data deterministically linked across databases to identify a cohort of patients with solid tumors initiating ICI therapy in Ontario, Canada from June 2012 to October 2018 and obtained information on baseline demographics, clinical covariates, inflammatory markers (NLR, PLR, LMR) at the start of ICI, and overall survival (OS). We applied multivariable Cox proportional hazard models to evaluate the impact of NLR, PLR, and LMR on OS, adjusting for sex, age, cancer center, autoimmune history, recent hospitalization and comorbidity score.
Results
Among 4683 patients, median age was 67, 57% male; 46% had lung cancer, 35% melanoma, 9% renal cancers; 40% received nivolumab, 36% pembrolizumab, 17% ipilimumab. Median OS was 317 days. Using previous cutoffs in the literature, 44% of patients had a high NLR (≥ 5), 58% high PLR (≥ 200), and 60% high LMR (≥ 1.5). Among all patients, those with high NLR (aHR=1.80, 95% CI [1.65-1.97] p
Conclusions
Among cancer patients receiving ICIs, higher NLR and PLR and lower LMR were prognostic of OS across cancer types. Further studies validating their prognostic role in ICI therapy is warranted.
