Efficacy and Adverse Reaction of Tislelizumab Combined with Chemotherapy on Urothelial Carcinoma / 肿瘤防治研究

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of tislelizumab combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of urothelial carcinoma in the real word. Methods We enrolled 32 patients with urothelial carcinoma who were treated with tislelizumab and chemotherapy (gemcitabine/cisplatin or paclitaxel). The incidence of treatment-related adverse reactions during treatment and the efficacy evaluation were statistically analyzed. Results All patients were divided into two groups: 15 patients in the tislelizumab combined with paclitaxel group and 17 patients in the tislelizumab combined with GC group. Among 24 efficacy-evaluable patients, the ORR was 54.2% and the DCR was 83.3%. The ORR were 50.0% and 58.3%, and the DCR were 75.0% and 91.7% in the tislelizumab combined with paclitaxel group and the tislelizumab combined with GC group respectively. Common treatment-related adverse reactions included anemia (56.3%), loss of appetite (53.1%) and skin pruritus (50.0%). The grade 3-4 treatment-related adverse events occurred in 21.8% of patients. Common immune-related adverse reactions included skin toxicity (53.1%) and immune colitis (9.4%). Conclusion Tislelizumab combined with chemotherapy on urothelial cancer has significant curative effect, safety and controllability, but attention should be paid to immune-related adverse reactions.

Anti-tumor effects induced by gene vaccines co-expressing truncated human prostate specific membrane antigen gene and mouse 4-1BBL / 中华泌尿外科杂志

Objective To investigate the influence of m4-1BBL on the anti-tumor effects induced by truncated human prostate specific membrane antigen (tPSMA) gene in mice. Methods A eukaryotic expression plasmid encoding tPSMA and m4-1BBL (pDC316-tPSMA-IRES-m4-1BBL), pDC316-tPSMA and pDC316 were constructed. C57BL/6 mice were vaccinated in the quadriceps femoris, respectively. The CTL activity of spleen cells from the immunized mice against prostate cancer RM-1-tPSMA was detected by CCK-8 kit in vitro. The tumor growth was then observed. Results The target cell specific cytotoxicity rate induced by pDC316-tPSMA-IRES-m4-1BBL was 42.6%, compared to 24.8% in the pDC316-tPSMA group and 10.8% in the pDC316 group. The difference was significant (P<0.05). The volume of tumor in the pDC316 group was 2657.4mm3 7 d after vaccination, compared to 1334.5 mm3 in the pDC316-tPSMA group, 9 d after vaccination. In the pDC316-tPSMA-IRES-m4-1BBL group, the tumor volume was 445.8 mm3, 12d after vaccination. The difference was significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Gene vaccines co-expressing tPSMA gene and m4-1BBL gene could significantly enhance anti-prostate cancer effects in mice.
