Obstructive Sleep Apnea Influences Efficacy of Anti-Programmed-Death-1-Based Immunotherapy Against Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer - A Prospective Observational Cohort Study

This prospective, observational cohort study aims to explore the influence of obstructive sleep apnea(OSA) on the efficacy of PD-1-based immunotherapy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC). Patients who had no prior treatment for advanced NSCLC and are intended to receive PD-1/PD-L1 antibody will be recruited. According to sleep monitor results, participants will be divided into Group NSCLC and Group OSA+NSCLC. Primary outcome is the objective remission rate(ORR).

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This is a single-center, prospective, observational cohort study. Patients who had no prior treatment for advanced NSCLC and are intended to receive PD-1/PD-L1 antibody will be recruited and followed for 4 years. According to the baseline sleep monitor results, participants will be divided into Group NSCLC(AHI<15), and Group OSA+NSCLC(AHI≥15), and then explore the influence of obstructive sleep apnea on the efficacy of PD-1-based immunotherapy. The baseline level of white blood cell count (WBC); absolute neutrophil count (ANC); absolute lymphocyte count (ALC); ANC to ALC (ANC:ALC) ratio; interleukin 6 (IL-6); C-reactive Protein (CRP) in peripheral blood, lymphocytes classification and count by flow cytometry, and gut microbiome analysis by quantitative metagenomics will also be measured to further search for the possible mechanisms. Primary outcome is the objective remission rate (ORR), secondary outcomes include overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS).

The study protocol has been approved by the Peking University First Hospital Institutional Review Board (IRB). Any protocol modifications will be submitted for the IRB review and approval.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Objective response rate(ORR)
Time Frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression, assessed up to 48 months
ORR, the percentage of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to RECIST 1.1 standard definition.CR: disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and (if applicable) normalization of tumor marker level; or reduction in short axis of any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) to less than (<) 10 mm. PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters; or persistence of one or more non-target lesion(s) and/or (if applicable) maintenance of tumor marker level above the normal limits.
From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression, assessed up to 48 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
Time Frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 48 months
PFS was defined as the time from recruitment to the first occurrence of progressive disease(PD) or death due to any cause. PD: at least a 20 percent increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study, including baseline, and an absolute increase of at least 5 mm; appearance of one or more new target or non-target lesions; or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions.
