Chinese herbal Fu-Zheng-Qu-Xie (FZQX) prescription has been found to improve the immune function and survival of patients with early-stage lung cancer. However, the therapeutic efficacy needs to be evaluated objectively, and the precise mechanism remains unclear. In the present study, a double-center, prospective cohort study was carried out to assess the clinical efficacy of the FZQX prescription in preventing the recurrence and metastasis of postoperative early-stage lung adenocarcinoma. Our results indicated that the FZQX prescription could significantly reduce the 3-year postoperative recurrence rate and improve the life quality. Moreover, the peripheral blood indices showed that the positive immune index (CD4+T/CD8+T) increased and the negative immune indices (CD8+T, Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), Treg) decreased after treatment with the FZQX prescription. Since the positive regulatory effect of the FZQX prescription on immune function, a series of experiments were conducted to verify the tumor-suppressive effect and elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Through the MDSC clearance xenograft model, we confirmed that the FZQX prescription could effectively suppress tumor growth with lesser side effects in vivo, and MDSCs may be involved in the biological process of the FZQX prescription’s intervention in lung cancer progression. By establishing the coculture system of MDSCs/LLC to simulate the immune microenvironment of lung cancer, the tumor suppression effect of the FZQX prescription was further validated by in vitro experiments. Besides, it was confirmed that the FZQX prescription could regulate MDSCs to remodel the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, thus exerting its preventive effect on relapse of lung cancer. Finally, the pathway activator and inhibitor were further used to explore the potential molecular mechanism. Results demonstrated that the IL-1β/NF-κB signaling pathway was one of the critical signaling pathways of FZQX prescription regulating MDSCs to prevent the recurrence and metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma.

e21650 Background: Camrelizumab is a humanized PD-1 monoclonal antibody. The efficacy of camrelizumab monotherapy or combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced NSCLC had been demonstrated with promising anti-tumor activity in previous studies. However, in the real-world clinical practice, the activity of camrelizumab in patients with advanced lung cancer is poorly characterised. We sought to analyse the antitumour activity and toxicity of camrelizumab in advanced lung cancer to explore benefit subgroups and optimal treatments. Methods: This is a multicentre, prospective cohort study of advanced lung cancer in Jiangsu province, China. Eligibility required patients with histologically confirmed advanced lung cancer who couldreceive treatment regimen based on camrelizumab. No other restrictive inclusion criteria were applied. Data were captured with electronic uniform database templates to ensure consistent data collection. Primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS), Secondary endpoints are adverse events (AE), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and overall survival (OS). Results: 97 pts with advanced lung cancer were enrolled from August 7, 2019 to December 20, 2019. Median age was 64, male 82.5%, adenocarcinoma 50.5%, squamous carcinoma 29.9%, SCLC 14.4%. 30.9% were treated as first-line therapy, 24.7% were second-line treatment, 44.4% were third-line and above treatment. Treatment regimens included camrelizumab monotherapy 13.4%, combination chemotherapy 52.6%, combination anti-angiogenic therapy 24.7%. 52 pts were accessable for efficacy analysis. 11 (21%), 37(71%), and 6(8%) patients showed partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), and progression disease (PD), respectively. The ORR, DCR was 21.2%, 92.3%. 72 pts had experienced the safety assessment. This was an early stage of data analysis, PFS has not yet reached. Major AE was reactive cutaneous capillary hyperplasia (RCCEP) (20/72), no Grade≥3 RCCEP occurred. Other common AEs were eutrophil count decreased (14/72), nausea (12/72), fatigue (11/72), white blood cell decreased (10/72). No treatment-related deaths occurred. Conclusions: This Real-world research showed current treatment status of advanced lung cancer and provides preliminary evidence for camrelizumab treating with advanced lung cancer, and we expect follow-up data to provide more clues. Clinical trial information: ChiCTR1900026089.
