Abstract:
Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of immune checkpoint inhibitor sintilimab combined with regofenib in the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer(CRC).
Methods A total of 90 advanced CRC patients who were treated in Guangzhou First People′s Hospital from January 2020 to January 2022 were prospective selected, and were divided into observation group and control group according to the random number table, with 45 patients in each group.The control group received oral regofini, and the observation group received sintilimab injection on the basis of the control group.The clinical efficacy, tumor markers, immune function, survival time and adverse reaction were compared between the two groups.
Results After treatment, objective response rate and disease control rate of the observation group were 53.33% and 80.00%, those of the control group were 20.00% and 60.00%(P<0.05). After treatment, carbohydrate antigen 199(CA199), cytokeratin 19 fragment antigen 21-1(CYFRA21-1), carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA)decreased in both groups, and the indicators of the observed group were lower than those of the control group(P<0.05). The proportion of cytotoxic T cells(CD8+ )decreased in both groups, while the proportion of helper T cells(CD4+ )and CD4+ /CD8+ ratio increased in both groups.Moreover, the proportion of CD4+ and CD4+ /CD8+ in the observed group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05), while the proportion of CD8+ was lower than that in the control group(P>0.05). The overall survival(P=0.040)and progression-free survival(P=0.046)of the observation group were longer than those of the control group.The incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(64.44% vs.62.22%, P>0.05).
Conclusion Immune checkpoint inhibitors sintilimab combined with regofenib has good efficacy and safety in the treatment of the patients with advanced CRC, prolonging survival time and alleviating the pain caused by cancer.
