Real-world Study on the Efficacy, Safety, and Prognostic Factors of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors Combined With Radiotherapy in Patients With Malignant Tumors: A Prospective Non-interventional Clinical Study

Overview

Currently, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and radiotherapy are the core treatment modalities for malignant tumors, with technologies advancing rapidly. Radiotherapy can induce massive tumor cell death in a short period and expose abundant tumor-specific antigens, turning the irradiated tumor into an endogenous tumor vaccine and even causing regression or disappearance of non-irradiated tumors (the abscopal effect) . Preclinical studies have shown that stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) combined with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors can activate systemic immunity, sensitize tumor-specific T cells to enter the bloodstream, and enable their homing to distant tumors, thereby inhibiting the growth of non-irradiated tumors . However, conclusions from rigorous randomized controlled trials have limitations when applied to the complex and heterogeneous patient populations in real-world settings. Real-world research is increasingly valued globally to complement traditional clinical trial evidence. This project prospectively collects data from patients receiving immunotherapy combined with radiotherapy in real-world clinical practice, which is of great value for evaluating long-term efficacy, safety, and impact on quality of life, and can provide high-level evidence for optimizing clinical practice and informing healthcare decisions.
