Real-world Study on Characteristics of Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndromes of 50 Patients with Immune-related Adverse Events
To analyze the clinical characteristics and differentiated traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes of the real-world tumor patients who have had immune-related adverse reactions (irAEs), thereby providing ideas for TCM in dealing with irAEs in clinical practice.
Methods
2
The general data, immune checkpoints inhibitors (ICIs) types, irAEs frequency, severity, systematic toxicity and other clinical characteristics of patients who have been treated by ICIs and have had irAEs were collected in a retrospective cohort design. The TCM syndromes were differentiated by referring to the
Malignant Tumor Diagnosis and Treatment Guideline with Chinese Medicine
. The ratio of each systemic toxicity component and the proportion of overall syndrome types were compared among TCM syndromes with frequency ≥15%. The syndrome type distribution between different hormone use methods and different subsequent ICIs treatment were compared.
Results
2
A total of 50 patients were included, with 73 irAEs. Heat-toxin syndrome plus phlegm-damp syndrome had highest frequency (34.3%), followed by
qi
deficiency syndrome plus
yin
deficiency syndrome (19.2%), and
qi
deficiency syndrome plus phlegm-damp syndrome (15.1%). The main type of skin toxicity was heat toxin syndrome plus phlegm-damp syndrome (
P
= 0.004), while that of hypothyroidism and cardiotoxicity were
qi
deficiency syndrome plus
yin
deficiency syndrome and deficiency syndrome plus phlegm-damp syndrome (
P
= 0.001), and
qi
deficiency syndrome plus phlegm-damp syndrome (
P
= 0.049), respectively. These results showed statistical differences when compared to overall syndromes distribution. The syndrome types of hormone replacement therapy was statistically different from those of non-replacement therapy, and
qi
deficiency syndrome plus
yin
deficiency syndrome,
qi
deficiency syndrome plus phlegm-damp syndrome were the main combinations of replacement therapy (
P
= 0.008). There was no statistical difference in syndromes in terms of different follow-up ICIs treatment (
P
>0.05).
Conclusion
2
TCM syndrome of irAEs was mainly heat toxin syndrome plus phlegm-damp syndrome, characterized by damp and heat simultaneously, and
qi
and
yin
deficiency syndrome and
qi
deficiency and phlegm-damp syndrome may also be seen at certain time, giving full play to the advantages of syndrome differentiation and individual treatment of TCM when combining with immunological therapy.
