Guideline-Based Recommendations

Diagnosis

  • Monitor liver function indicators regularly in patients receiving PD-1 inhibitors.

Management

  • Consider both Sintilimab and Pembrolizumab as options for advanced NSCLC without increased hepatic risk.

Monitoring & Follow-up

  • Implement routine surveillance for hepatotoxicity in patients treated with PD-1 inhibitors.

Risks

  • Be aware of the potential for immune-related adverse events, including hepatotoxicity.

Patient & Prescribing Data

Chinese patients with advanced NSCLC treated with PD-1 inhibitors.

Both Sintilimab and Pembrolizumab show similar safety profiles regarding liver function.

Clinical Best Practices

  • Utilize propensity score matching to balance treatment groups in observational studies.
  • Apply Benjamini-Hochberg correction for multiple comparisons in safety assessments.
  • Conduct further prospective studies with diverse patient populations to validate findings.
