CAMACHO SOSA, Kirenia et al. Efficacy of nimotuzumab according to inflammatory indices in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Rev. cuban. med. mil. [online]. 2023, vol.52, n.3  Epub 01-Set-2023. ISSN 1561-3046.

Introduction:

The response to therapies in advanced lung cancer could be related to certain prognostic factors such as inflammatory indices.

Objective:

To evaluate the efficacy of the humanized monoclonal antibody nimotuzumab in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer according to inflammatory indices.

Method:

A retrospective longitudinal evaluation study was carried out in a universe of 498 patients older than 18 years, with a cytohistological diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer, in advanced stages, after the first line of oncological therapy, including in multicenter clinical trials promoted by the Center for Molecular Immunology from 2002 to 2018. Descriptive statistics were applied, the x-tile 3.6.1 software was used for the Kaplan Meier test, significant differences were considered when p< 0,05.

Results:

In the patients analyzed, nimotuzumab showed therapeutic benefit in the group of patients who did not progress to the first line of treatment with chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy, when they had a lower neutrophil-lymphocyte index (p= 0,017 and p= 0,027) and a lower platelet-lymphocyte index (p= 0,030 and p= 0,009).

Conclusion:

Selecting a patient with a lower inflammatory index benefits the efficacy of treatment with the humanized mAb nimotuzumab in advanced non-small cell lung cancer, which becomes a predictive tool for response to treatment.
