Introduction: Corticosteroids are used to treat immune-related adverse events (irAEs) associated with nivolumab. However, patients with non-small-cell lung cancer who are administered corticosteroids before the initiation of nivolumab treatment are commonly excluded from clinical trials. The appropriate timing for corticosteroid administration in relation to nivolumab treatment, effects of corticosteroids on the efficacy of nivolumab, and resulting adverse events are not clearly understood. In this study, the effects of differences in the timing of corticosteroid administration on nivolumab efficacy and the resulting adverse events were examined. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted with 109 patients who were treated with nivolumab at Sapporo Minami-Sanjo Hospital between December 2015 and March 2018. Results: Of the 109 patients treated with nivolumab, 12 patients were administered corticosteroids before the first cycle of nivolumab (pre-CS), and 33 patients were administered corticosteroids after the first cycle of nivolumab (post-CS). These 2 groups were compared with the control group comprising 64 patients who were not administered corticosteroids (non-CS). The objective response rate in the post-CS group was significantly higher than that in the non-CS group, and the disease control rate in the pre-CS group was significantly lower than that in the non-CS group. The overall survival time and progression-free survival time in the pre-CS group were significantly shorter than those observed in the non-CS group; however, these did not differ from those in the post-CS group. Conclusions: These results suggest that corticosteroids administered to patients with non-small-cell lung cancer after initiation of nivolumab treatment did not affect the disease prognosis. Thus, corticosteroids can be administered immediately for rapid treatment of irAEs.

Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is sensitive to chemoradiotherapy but remains to have a poor prognosis. In the immunotherapy era, chemotherapy combined with PD-L1 inhibitors has become a new first-line treatment option for advanced SCLC. The CheckMate 032 study combined a PD-1 blockade and a CTLA-4 inhibitor and found that this dual immunotherapy might be a positive treatment choice for SCLC. In our case, the patient with advanced SCLC received bevacizumab combined with dual immunotherapy over the third line with more than 12 months survival time. The overall survival time was 21.5 months from the start of the third-line treatment and 39 months from the time of extensive-disease SCLC diagnosis. The combination of a VEGF blockade and a dual immunotherapy in SCLC resulted in synergistic treatment effects. Therefore, bevacizumab might be a better adjuvant, either combined with chemotherapy or dual immunotherapy, for patients with persistent disease progression after undergoing immunotherapy.
