ObjectivesTo systematically review the efficacy and safety of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).MethodsNon-comparative binary data on anti-PD-1/PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies in the treatment of advanced NSCLC from PubMed, EMbase and The Cochrane Library databases were collected from inception to August 1st 2017. Two reviewers screened literature, extracted data and independently evaluated the risk of bias of included studies, then meta-analysis was conducted by RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsForty-four trials were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that the pooled objective response rate (ORR), overall 1-year survival rate (OSR1 year) and progression-free survival rate at 1 year (PFSR1 year ) of anti-PD-1/PD-1 antibodies were 22% (RD=0.22, 95%CI 0.20 to 0.25, P<0.001), 54% (RD=0.54, 95%CI 0.46 to 0.63,P<0.001) and 27% (RD=0.27, 95%CI 0.20 to 0.33,P<0.001), respectively. The rate of adverse effects (AEs) was 61% (RD=0.61, 95%CI 0.54 to 0.68,P<0.001), and the rate of grade 3 to 5 AEs was 13% (RD=0.13, 95%CI 0.10 to 0.15,P<0.001).ConclusionsAnti- PD-1/PD-1 antibodies show good efficacy and safety in the treatment of advanced NSCLC. Due to limited quality and quantity of included studies, more high-quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusions.
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a immune-mediated demyelinating disease of the central nervous system, characterized by high recurrence and disability rates. Preventing relapses is crucial in the treatment of this condition. Monoclonal antibodies have emerged as a novel and rapidly evolving clinical therapeutic strategy targeting NMOSD in recent years. An increasing number of studies and clinical trials have also confirmed the effectiveness and safety of monoclonal antibodies. Rituximab, a monoclonal antibody targeting the B-cell surface antigen CD20, has been widely used in the treatment of NMOSD. Currently, in China, the only approved monoclonal antibody for treating NMOSD is Inebilizumab, which targets the B-cell surface antigen CD19. Additionally, various monoclonal antibodies, such as interleukin-6 receptor inhibitors and complement C5 inhibitors, have been used in the treatment of NMOSD. With the deepening of the research on the pathogenesis of NMOSD, the molecular mechanism of disease-related immune network is further clarified, and multi-center clinical trials are widely carried out. More accurate monoclonal antibody treatment strategies for NMOSD will be applied to clinical practice, benefiting more patients.
