Abstract
Background: Cutaneous melanoma is the leading cause of death among all skin cancer despite its low prevalence. Pembrolizumab has been approved in Viet Nam for treating advanced and metastatic cutaneous melanoma since 2017. We conduct this research to examine the real - world efficacy and safety profile of pembrolizumab for advanced and metastatic melanoma at Ho Chi Minh City Oncology Hospital.
Methods: Retrospective descriptive study on recurrent, advanced and metastatic cutaneous melanoma patients who were treated by pembrolizumab at Breast, Gastroenterology, Hepatic and Urology Department in Ho Chi Minh City oncology hospital since 1/1/2018 to 30/4/2023.
Results: Median follow - up was 15,63 months, among all patients, 1 (5,6%) achieved complete response, 4 (22,2%) partial response and 8 (44,4%) reached stable disease. Median OS was 15,93 months, Kaplan - Meier 1- year and 2 - year survival rates were 67% and 32,6%, respectively; and median duration of response was 9,83 months. Median PFS was 5,4 months, Kaplan - Meier 6 - month and 12 - month progression free survival rates were 38% and 30,4%, respectively. Univariate analysis shows that patient who archieved disease control had better survival rate than patient who progressed. Most adverse events were grade 1, including skin - related (13,64%), fatigue (13,64%), transaminitis (9,09%), diarrhea (4,54%), neutropenia (13,64%) and anaemia (9,09%).
Conclusions: This study shows that pembrolizumab is more effective than cytotoxic chemotherapy in the firstline treatment of advanced and metastatic cutaneous melanoma. Pembrolizumab is well tolerated and can potentially archieve durable response, which improves the prognosis for patients.
