Összefoglaló szövege

Introduction and Aims: Preclinical studies indicate that the concurrent use of inhibitors of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) may improve outcomes in broad groups of cancer patients. There are limited data on the association between the use of RAAS inhibitors and outcomes among patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs).
Methods: We performed a retrospective study of all patients treated with an ICI in a single academic network. Of 10,903 patients, 5,910 were on any anti-hypertensive medication. Of those on anti-hypertensive therapy, 3,426 were prescribed a RAAS inhibitor during ICI treatment and 2,484 were prescribed other anti-hypertensive medications. The primary outcome was overall survival in the entire cohort and in sub-groups by cancer types.
Results: Thoracic cancer (34%) and melanoma (16%) were the most common types of cancer. Those prescribed a RAAS inhibitor were older, more frequently male, and had more cardiovascular risk factors. In a Cox proportional hazard model, the concurrent use of RAAS inhibitors was associated with better overall survival (hazard ratio (HR):0.92, [95% Confidence Interval (CI):0.85-0.99], P=.032). Patients with gastrointestinal (HR:0.82, [95% CI: 0.67-1.01], P=.057) and genitourinary cancer (HR:0.81, [95% CI:0.64-1.01], P=.067) had a non-statistically significant better overall survival.
Conclusions: In this large retrospective study, patients with hypertension who were concomitantly taking a RAAS inhibitor during ICI therapy had better overall survival. This benefit was primarily noted among patients with gastrointestinal and genitourinary cancers. Prospective randomized trials are warranted to further evaluate and specify the benefit of RAAS inhibitors in cancer patients who receive ICI therapy.
