Renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system inhibitors and survival in patients with hypertension treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors

Preclinical studies indicate that the concurrent use of inhibitors of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) may improve outcomes in broad groups of patients with cancer.

description Preclinical studies indicate that the concurrent use of inhibitors of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) may improve outcomes in broad groups of patients with cancer. There are limited data on the association between the use of RAAS inhibitors and outcomes among patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). We performed a retrospective study of all patients treated with an ICI in a single academic network. Of 10,903 patients, 5910 were on any anti-hypertensive medication. Of those on anti-hypertensive therapy, 3426 were prescribed a RAAS inhibitor during ICI treatment, and 2484 were prescribed other anti-hypertensive medications. The primary outcome was overall survival in the entire cohort and in sub-groups by cancer types. Thoracic cancer (34%) and melanoma (16%) were the most common types of cancer. Those prescribed a RAAS inhibitor were older, more frequently male, and had more cardiovascular risk factors. In a Cox proportional hazard model, the concurrent use of RAAS inhibitors was associated with better overall survival (hazard ratio (HR):0.92, [95% Confidence Interval (CI):0.85–0.99], P = .032). Patients with gastrointestinal (HR:0.82, [95% CI: 0.67–1.01], P = .057) and genitourinary cancer (HR:0.81, [95% CI:0.64–1.01], P = .067) had a non-statistically significant better overall survival. In this large retrospective study, patients with hypertension who were concomitantly taking a RAAS inhibitor during ICI therapy had better overall survival. This benefit was primarily noted among patients with gastrointestinal and genitourinary cancers. Prospective randomized trials are warranted to further evaluate and specify the benefit of RAAS inhibitors in patients with cancer who receive ICI therapy. •We evaluated the effect of RAAS inhibitors among 5910 patients with cancer on an ICI.•Patients taking a RAAS inhibitor during ICI therapy had better overall survival.•The effect of RAAS inhibitors was similar among patients on an ACE inhibitor and an ARB.•The benefit was not noted among patients with melanoma and lung cancer.•Benefit was principally seen in patients with gastrointestinal and genitourinary cancers.
