Abstract

Aim: To analyze the efficacy of PD-1 blockade combined with RetroNectin®-activated cytokine-induced killer (R-CIK) cells in preheavily treated advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients with advanced NSCLC who received PD-1 blockade combined with R-CIK cells whose treatments failed at least two regimens.

Results: The median number of previous treatment regimens was three (range: 2-7). Partial remission was achieved in two patients, stable disease in four patients and one patient experienced progressive disease. The median time-to-progression was 4.8 months.

Conclusion: PD-1 blockade combined with R-CIK cells is safe and effective in patients with advanced NSCLC who have failed at least two treatment regimens.

Keywords: adoptive cell immunotherapy; anti-PD-1; carcinoma; combination; non-small-cell lung.
