PG - 815917 LID - 10.3389/fonc.2022.815917 [doi] LID - 815917 AB - Toripalimab as a novel PD-1 inhibitor has presented its promising efficacy in patients who developed chemo-refractory carcinomas, whereas no study has ever investigated the effectiveness of toripalimab in chemo-resistant choriocarcinoma. Here we reported the effectiveness and safety data of 4 patients with chemo-resistant choriocarcinoma who underwent PD-1 antibody therapy by toripalimab and individualized chemotherapies. From January 2019 to August 2020, 4 patients with choriocarcinoma were admitted in Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University. The patients' age ranged from 29 to 52 years with a median of 36 years. All the patients achieved CR after the combined therapy of toripalimab with individualized chemotherapies according to the decreased serum beta-hcg level. Two of the four patients were observed with treatment-related adverse events (AEs), including one grade I skin rash and one grade I pruritus. Our cases showed that toripalimab combined with chemotherapy presented a tolerable safety profile and promising effectiveness in patients with chemo-resistant choriocarcinoma, indicating its potential as salvage therapy for this subset of patients.
