Immune checkpoint inhibitors(ICIs) combined with angiogenesis inhibitors may is synergistic in elderly patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC), however its true efficacy is still unclear. The investigators retrospectively compared clinical efficacy and safety of driver-negative elderly patients with advanced NSCLC treated with ICIs with(or without)angiogenesis inhibitors in the Cancer Center of the Affiliated Suzhou Hospital of Nanjing Medical University.
The investigators reviewed the medical records of all lung cancer patients in the Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Center of Suzhou Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021, and a total of 79 patients were enrolled. The subjects were divided into two groups: the group treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors plus antiangiogenic drugs(IA group) and the group treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors without antiangiogenic drugs(NIA group). The data of PFS, OS, ORR, covariates, and Immune-related adverse events (irAEs) were collected through electronic medical records and follow-up. The primary endpoint of the study was PFS, and the secondary endpoints were OS, ORR and irAEs.All enrolled patients were followed up until August 1, 2022.
