PG - 1001503 LID - 10.3389/fonc.2022.1001503 [doi] LID - 1001503 AB - BACKGROUND: In the first-line treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), for those patients with negative PD-L1 expression, which treatment strategy has the better efficacy and safety between chemotherapy combined with antiangiogenic and with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is still unclear due to the absence of head-to-head clinical trials. This study aims to answer the question by performing a systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA). METHODS: Electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and ClinicalTrials.gov) were systematically searched accordingly to extract eligible studies from inception to October 2022, as well as the abstracts from the most recent main oncology congresses (American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC), and European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO)). Overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and adverse events (AEs) of grades 3 to 5 were independently extracted and collected by two reviewers based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guideline. We used Cochrane's risk of bias tool for randomized controlled trials through RevMan 5.3 to ascertain the quality of the included studies. NMA with a Bayesian random-effects model was performed by R (version 4.0.4). RESULTS: According to the ranking list from OS-NMA, pembrolizumab combined with chemotherapy has the most effective ranking first (surface under the cumulative ranking (SUCRA) = 0.809844) (pooled HR = 0.65 [0.51-0.83]). On PFS, the triple combination of nivolumab/bevacizumab/chemotherapy ranks first (NMA estimate: HR = 0.35 [0.28-0.43]). On safety, in combination with chemotherapy, sintilimab has minimal toxicity, followed by pembrolizumab+chemo. CONCLUSIONS: In advanced NSCLC patients with negative PD-L1 expression, pembrolizumab+chemo ranks first in the efficacy of OS and does not apparently increase the incidence of any grade >/= 3 AE as compared with chemo alone. On PFS, pembrolizumab also has advantages, but for patients with squamous cell carcinoma, camrelizumab+chemo seems to be a better choice.
