Brief Report of Anti–Programmed Cell Death Protein-1 in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Setting: Relevant and Breaking Results in First-Line NSCLC Therapy

In the recent past, we observed an increased risk of cancer in the population with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) owing to the development of antiretroviral therapies that decreased mortality caused by HIV-specific infections. This particularly fragile population is frequently excluded from clin...

description In the recent past, we observed an increased risk of cancer in the population with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) owing to the development of antiretroviral therapies that decreased mortality caused by HIV-specific infections. This particularly fragile population is frequently excluded from clinical trials, and up-to-date recommendations for these patients are lacking. Only few cases of patients with HIV suffering from cancer and undergoing first-line immunotherapy have been reported so far. Here, we report the largest known study of patients with HIV with NSCLC (five patients) undergoing first-line immunotherapy by pembrolizumab, after CANCERVIH group selection. Our results are consistent with those of previous case reports concerning safety of immunotherapy in patients with HIV, revealing no severe or fatal toxicity, opportunistic infections, or immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome. Moreover, pembrolizumab did not seem to modify HIV viral parameters. We also evaluated the effectiveness of immunotherapy in these HIV-immunosuppressed patients: the average survival was 9.8 months, with three patients having rapid progression and two partial response. Nevertheless, besides safety and drug-to-drug interactions, the effectiveness of first-line immunotherapy in people living with HIV needs to be supported by larger studies.
