The Predictive Value of Pretreatment Lactate Dehydrogenase and Derived Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio in Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients Treated With PD-1/PD-L1 Inhibitors: A Meta-Analysis

BackgroundThe Lung Immune Prognostic Index (LIPI) combines the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level and the derived neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (dNLR). A lot of studies have shown that LDH and dNLR are associated with the prognosis of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in patients treated w...

description BackgroundThe Lung Immune Prognostic Index (LIPI) combines the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level and the derived neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (dNLR). A lot of studies have shown that LDH and dNLR are associated with the prognosis of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in patients treated with programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) or programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors. However, previous results were inconsistent, and the conclusions remain unclear. This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the predictive value of pretreatment LDH and dNLR for NSCLC progression in patients treated with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors.MethodsPubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched by two researchers independently for related literature before March 2020. Hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were extracted to assess the predictive value of LDH and dNLR. STATA 15. 0 was used to perform the meta-analysis.ResultsA total of 3,429 patients from 26 studies were included in this meta-analysis. The results revealed that high pretreatment LDH was related to poor OS (HR = 1.19, 95%CI = 1.11–1.24, p < 0.001), but not closely related to poor PFS (HR = 1.02, 95%CI = 1.00–1.04, p = 0.023 < 0.05). The pooled results for dNLR suggested that high pretreatment dNLR was related to poor OS (HR = 1.55, 95%CI = 1.33–1.80, p < 0.001) and PFS (HR = 1.33, 95%CI = 1.16–1.54, p < 0.001).ConclusionBoth pretreatment LDH and dNLR have the potential to serve as peripheral blood biomarkers for patients with advanced NSCLC treated with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. However, more studies on LDH are needed to evaluate its predictive value for PFS in patients with NSCLC.
