First-line PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors plus chemotherapy versus bevacizumab plus chemotherapy for advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer: A Bayesian network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

ABSTRACT: Chemotherapy in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) or bevacizumab has demonstrated a superior effect for non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NS-NSCLC). There are still few randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the differences between ICI plus chemotherapy (ICI-chemotherapy) and bevacizumab plus chemotherapy (Bev-chemotherapy) in first-line treatment of NS-NSCLC. We identified RCTs in databases and conference abstracts presented at international conferences by Sep 1, 2021. Bayesian network meta-analysis was performed using randomized effect consistency model to estimate hazard ratio (HR) and odds ratio (OR). The outcomes included overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), overall response rate (ORR), and grade ≥ 3 treatment-related adverse event
