Tumor immunotherapy, as another important treatment after surgical treatment, chemoradiotherapy and targeted therapy, has achieved great success and gradually become one of the standard treatment methods for tumors. Toripalimab is the first Chinese PD-1 inhibitor approved for the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, malignant melanoma, urothelial carcinoma, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and non-small cell lung cancer. It has been widely used in clinical practice. Several clinical studies have confirmed that it is safe and effective. In recent years, several clinical studies have reported that Toripalimab alone or in combination can improve the response rate of cancer treatment and improve survival. The results of Toripalimab research are mainly derived from rigorously designed randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and the efficacy and safety in the real world still need to be further explored. Real world studies, based on a large sample size, non-randomly select treatment measures according to the actual condition and wishes of patients, and pay attention to meaningful outcome treatment, which is closer to real clinical practice, without extrapolation difficulties, and has more clinical practical value. Therefore, it is of great significance to carry out a real-world study to investigate the differences in the efficacy and adverse reactions of Toripalimab immunotherapy in Chinese lung cancer patients in order to better guide clinical practice, which also provides research direction and data support for further prospective studies.
Our project is going to clarify the efficacy and safety of Toripalimab in lung cancer in the real world, and to evaluate the incidence of adverse events (AEs) of special interest during Toripalimab immunotherapy.
