Atezolizumab in Large Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinoma
Sponsor: Oncology Center of Biochemical Education And Research
Summary
Large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) of the lung is a rare and aggressive malignancy with limited prospective evidence to guide systemic treatment. This prospective, non-randomized, real-world study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of atezolizumab in combination with platinum-etoposide chemotherapy in treatment-naïve patients with metastatic lung-derived LCNEC. Patients who received atezolizumab were treated with carboplatin, etoposide, and atezolizumab, followed by atezolizumab maintenance in patients without disease progression for up to 24 months, or until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or investigator decision, whichever occurred first. Patients in the control cohort received carboplatin and etoposide alone. The main clinical outcomes were progression-free survival, overall survival, overall response rate, and duration of response. Exploratory translational analyses included plasma microRNA assessment, including miR-375 and miR-21, in available blood samples.
