BACKGROUND: In breast cancer, immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-based neoadjuvant therapy has been approved for clinical practice since 2021. Nonetheless, the predictive values of routinely collected clinicopathological and molecular characteristics in neoadjuvant immunotherapy remain unknown.
METHODS: We searched EMBASE and MEDLINE databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing ICI-based neoadjuvant therapy with conventional treatment. The primary outcome was pathological complete response (pCR). The odds ratio (OR) and its 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. This meta-analysis was registered in PROSPERO (CRD420261307112).
RESULTS: Here, with 5674 patients enrolled in 12 RCTs, our study revealed ICI-based neoadjuvant therapy was associated with significantly increased pCRs (OR, 1.59; 95% CI, 1.32-1.90; P < 0.001). Notably, neoadjuvant immunotherapy did not demonstrate a statistically significant improvement of pCRs in patients with HER2+ tumors (OR, 1.17; 95% CI, 0.92-1.49; P = 0.23). Moreover, the interactions between ICI-based neoadjuvant therapy and nodal status (PInteraction < 0.001) or stromal tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (sTIL, PInteraction = 0.05) were statistically meaningful. More pCRs were observed in patients with nodal-positive (OR, 1.89; 95% CI, 1.56-2.28; P < 0.001) or high-density sTIL tumors (OR, 2.89; 95% CI, 1.49-5.61; P < 0.001), but not in women with nodal-negative (OR, 1.05; 95% CI, 0.80-1.39; P = 0.71) or low-density sTIL tumors (OR, 1.26; 95% CI, 0.73-2.17; P = 0.41). There was insufficient evidence to support other characteristics, including race, age, PD-L1 expression, clinical stage, hormone receptor (HR) status, menopausal status, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status, and T stage, as predictive biomarkers to guide patient selection for neoadjuvant immunotherapy in breast cancer.
CONCLUSION: Neoadjuvant immunotherapy was associated with favorable outcomes in breast cancer. However, for patients with HER2+, nodal-negative, or low-density sTIL tumors, clinicians need to carefully balance efficacy, safety, and patient preferences to deliver individualized treatment. Further randomized trials with long-term outcomes are needed to confirm the predictive values of these biomarkers.
