PG - 17588359231206147 LID - 10.1177/17588359231206147 [doi] LID - 17588359231206147 AB - BACKGROUND: Recently, several new first-line immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) plus chemotherapy have been approved for patients with extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). However, direct comparisons between first-line treatments are lacking. Therefore, we indirectly compared the efficacy and safety of specific treatment strategies to inform physicians' and patients' clinical decisions. METHODS: The Pubmed, Cochrane, Embase, and Web of Science databases were searched from 1 January 2000 to 27 November 2022, for randomized clinical trials (RCTs) assessing first-line immuno-chemotherapies for ES-SCLC. A fixed-effect multivariable meta-regression model was established for frequentist network meta-analysis and hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were computed to compare the effects of immuno-chemotherapies on patient overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS), while risk ratios with 95% CI were used for treatment- and immune-related adverse events (AEs). The p score values were then used to rank treatments based on their odds of being the best treatment option. The research protocol was registered with the PROSPERO (CRD42022383254). RESULTS: Seven studies involving 3822 patients were eligible for analysis. Serplulimab plus chemotherapy had better OS outcomes compared to chemotherapy (HR = 0.63; 95% CI: 0.49-0.82) and ipilimumab plus chemotherapy (HR = 0.67; 95% CI: 0.50-0.90). It additionally exhibited better PFS outcomes compared to chemotherapy (HR = 0.48; 95% CI: 0.39-0.60), adebrelimab (HR = 0.72; 95% CI: 0.53-0.97), atezolizumab (HR = 0.62; 0.46-0.85), durvalumab (HR = 0.60; 95% CI: 0.45-0.80), durvalumab and tremelimumab (HR = 0.57; 95% CI: 0.43-0.76), ipilimumab (HR = 0.57; 95% CI: 0.44-0.73), and pembrolizumab (HR = 0.64; 95% CI: 0.48-0.86) plus chemotherapy. Serplulimab plus chemotherapy was linked to the greatest odds of effectively reducing the odds of death (p score = 0.87) and progression (p score = 0.99) while exhibiting a good safety profile. CONCLUSION: Serplulimab plus chemotherapy exhibited the best survival outcomes with manageable AEs. Thus, serplulimab plus chemotherapy may represent the optimal best first-line treatment option for ES-SCLC patients. CI - (c) The Author(s), 2023.
