Analysis of Nutritional Biomarkers to Predict the Efficacy of Immunotherapy by Anti-PD/PDL1 Checkpoints Inhibitors in Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Patients

CERTIM is a cohort created in July 2015 to set up a multidisciplinary follow-up of cancer patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors.

From the CERTIM cohort, we conducted a longitudinal, prospective, observational study (ELY) in two tertiary university centers (Cochin hospital and European Georges Pompidou Hospital), which included patients between August 2016 and October 2019 and ended follow-up in April 2020.

Patients were treated with nivolumab, at a dose of 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks, or pembrolizumab, at a dose of 2mg/kg every 3 weeks. The investigators report findings from an evaluation of rest energy expenditure (REE) assessed using indirect calorimetry in the outpatient setting before treatment with checkpoints inhibitors.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
adult patients with NSCLC initiating nivolumab or pembrolizumab
Patients underwent a multidisciplinary evaluation including consultation with an oncologist and a dietitian. Such an assessment includes subjective and objective parameters such as medical history, weight loss, current dietary intake (including energy and protein balance), physical examination and anthropometric measurements, functional and mental assessment, medications, Resting Energy Expenditure measurement using indirect calorimetry and laboratory values.
