RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Osimertinib is a recommended treatment for advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation and as adjuvant treatment for resected EGFR-mutated NSCLC. EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors have shown preliminary efficacy in unresectable stage III EGFR-mutated NSCLC. METHODS: In this phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, we randomly assigned patients with unresectable EGFR-mutated stage III NSCLC without progression during or after chemoradiotherapy to receive osimertinib or placebo until disease progression occurred (as assessed by blinded independent central review) or the regimen was discontinued. The primary end point was progression-free survival as assessed by blinded independent central review. RESULTS: A total of 216 patients who had undergone chemoradiotherapy were randomly assigned to receive osimertinib (143 patients) or placebo (73 patients). Osimertinib resulted in a significant progression-free survival benefit as compared with placebo: the median progression-free survival was 39.1 months with osimertinib versus 5.6 months with placebo, with a hazard ratio for disease progression or death of 0.16 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.10 to 0.24; P<0.001). The percentage of patients who were alive and progression free at 12 months was 74% (95% CI, 65 to 80) with osimertinib and 22% (95% CI, 13 to 32) with placebo. Interim overall survival data (maturity, 20%) showed 36-month overall survival among 84% of patients with osimertinib (95% CI, 75 to 89) and 74% with placebo (95% CI, 57 to 85), with a hazard ratio for death of 0.81 (95% CI, 0.42 to 1.56; P = 0.53). The incidence of adverse events of grade 3 or higher was 35% in the osimertinib group and 12% in the placebo group; radiation pneumonitis (majority grade, 1 to 2) was reported in 48% and 38%, respectively. No new safety concerns emerged. CONCLUSIONS: Treatment with osimertinib resulted in significantly longer progression-free survival than placebo in patients with unresectable stage III EGFR-mutated NSCLC.

BACKGROUND: Pembrolizumab has been indicated in the treatment of solid tumors with high frequency microsatellite instability (MSI-H) or high tumor mutational burden (TMB-H); however, real-world data on the effectiveness of pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy in this molecular subset remain limited. Our retrospective study evaluated the clinical efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab in treating advanced solid tumors with either MSI-H or TMB-H. METHODS: This retrospective study analyzed data from 116 patients with MSI-H or TMB-H advanced solid cancers who received pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy regardless of treatment setting. We analyzed objective response rate (ORR) and progression-free survival (PFS). RESULTS: The top three cancer types were colorectal (48.6% MSI-H, 6.5% TMB-H), lung (15.4% MSI-H, 84.4% TMB-H), and gastric (15.4% MSI-H, 5.1% TMB-H). The ORR with pembrolizumab was 52.6%, including complete response (CR) observed in 8.6% (n = 10) of cases and partial responses (PR) in 43.9% (n = 51). Of the 93 patients who received first-line pembrolizumab, 52 patients achieved objective response (10 CR, 42 PR), with a median PFS of 14.0 months (95% confidence intervals [CI] 6.6-21.4). Of the 23 who received subsequent-line pembrolizumab, the ORR was 39.1%, disease control rate was 91.3%, and median PFS was 5.7 months (95% CI 3.9-7.5). Treatment-related adverse events were observed in 32 patients (27.6%), with no reported treatment-related fatal adverse events. CONCLUSION: Our study provides real-world evidence on the clinical effectiveness of pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy in the treatment of patients with MSI-H and TMB-H advanced solid cancers.

BACKGROUND: Radioresistance is a key clinical constraint on the efficacy of radiotherapy in lung cancer patients. REV1 DNA directed polymerase (REV1) plays an important role in repairing DNA damage and maintaining genomic stability. However, its role in the resistance to radiotherapy in lung cancer is not clear. This study aims to clarify the role of REV1 in lung cancer radioresistance, identify the intrinsic mechanisms involved, and provide a theoretical basis for the clinical translation of this new target for lung cancer treatment. METHODS: The effect of targeting REV1 on the radiosensitivity was verified by in vivo and in vitro experiments. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) combined with nontargeted metabolomics analysis was used to explore the downstream targets of REV1. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was used to quantify the content of specific amino acids. The coimmunoprecipitation (co-IP) and GST pull-down assays were used to validate the interaction between proteins. A ubiquitination library screening system was constructed to investigate the regulatory proteins upstream of REV1. RESULTS: Targeting REV1 could enhance the radiosensitivity in vivo, while this effect was not obvious in vitro. RNA sequencing combined with nontargeted metabolomics revealed that the difference result was related to metabolism, and that the expression of glycine, serine, and threonine (Gly/Ser/Thr) metabolism signaling pathways was downregulated following REV1 knockdown. LC-MS/MS demonstrated that REV1 knockdown results in reduced levels of these three amino acids and that cystathionine γ-lyase (CTH) was the key to its function. REV1 enhances the interaction of CTH with the E3 ubiquitin ligase Rad18 and promotes ubiquitination degradation of CTH by Rad18. Screening of the ubiquitination compound library revealed that the ubiquitin-specific peptidase 9 X-linked (USP9X) is the upstream regulatory protein of REV1 by the ubiquitin-proteasome system, which remodels the intracellular Gly/Ser/Thr metabolism. CONCLUSION: USP9X mediates the deubiquitination of REV1, and aberrantly expressed REV1 acts as a scaffolding protein to assist Rad18 in interacting with CTH, promoting the ubiquitination and degradation of CTH and inducing remodeling of the Gly/Ser/Thr metabolism, which leads to radioresistance. A novel inhibitor of REV1, JH-RE-06, was shown to enhance lung cancer cell radiosensitivity, with good prospects for clinical translation.

Importance: For patients with non-small cell lung cancer whose disease progressed while receiving EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) therapy, particularly third-generation TKIs, optimal treatment options remain limited. Objective: To compare the efficacy of ivonescimab plus chemotherapy with chemotherapy alone for patients with relapsed advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer with the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) variant. Design, Setting, and Participants: Double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, phase 3 trial at 55 sites in China enrolled participants from January 2022 to November 2022; a total of 322 eligible patients were enrolled. Interventions: Participants received ivonescimab (n = 161) or placebo (n = 161) plus pemetrexed and carboplatin once every 3 weeks for 4 cycles, followed by maintenance therapy of ivonescimab plus pemetrexed or placebo plus pemetrexed. Main Outcomes and Measures: The primary end point was progression-free survival in the intention-to-treat population assessed by an independent radiographic review committee (IRRC) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1. The results of the first planned interim analysis are reported. Results: Among 322 enrolled patients in the ivonescimab and placebo groups, the median age was 59.6 vs 59.4 years and 52.2% vs 50.9% of patients were female. As of March 10, 2023, median follow-up time was 7.89 months. Median progression-free survival was 7.1 (95% CI, 5.9-8.7) months in the ivonescimab group vs 4.8 (95% CI, 4.2-5.6) months for placebo (difference, 2.3 months; hazard ratio [HR], 0.46 [95% CI, 0.34-0.62]; P < .001). The prespecified subgroup analysis showed progression-free survival benefit favoring patients receiving ivonescimab over placebo across almost all subgroups, including patients whose disease progressed while receiving third-generation EGFR-TKI therapy (HR, 0.48 [95% CI 0.35-0.66]) and those with brain metastases (HR, 0.40 [95% CI, 0.22-0.73]). The objective response rate was 50.6% (95% CI, 42.6%-58.6%) with ivonescimab and 35.4% (95% CI, 28.0%-43.3%) with placebo (difference, 15.6% [95% CI, 5.3%-26.0%]; P = .006). The median overall survival data were not mature; at data cutoff, 69 patients (21.4%) had died. Grade 3 or higher treatment-emergent adverse events occurred in 99 patients (61.5%) in the ivonescimab group vs 79 patients (49.1%) in the placebo group, the most common of which were chemotherapy-related. Grade 3 or higher immune-related adverse events occurred in 10 patients (6.2%) in the ivonescimab group vs 4 (2.5%) in the placebo group. Grade 3 or higher vascular endothelial growth factor-related adverse events occurred in 5 patients (3.1%) in the ivonescimab group vs 4 (2.5%) in the placebo group. Conclusions: Ivonescimab plus chemotherapy significantly improved progression-free survival with tolerable safety profile in TKI-treated non-small cell lung cancer.

RESUMO
Objective:To study the clinical anatomy of the sphenopalatine foramina by dissecting the sphenopalatine foramina during Vidian nerve branch neurotomy. The anatomy and CBCT images of sphenopalatine foramen were analyzed to facilitate the navigational of clinical operation using CBCT images. Methods:From October 2017 to September 2023, 84 casesï¼168 sidesï¼ of Vidian nerve branch neurotomy in our department were collected. The clinical summary was made according to the anatomy of sphenopalatine foramen during the operation. Preoperative CBCT imaging findings of the sphenopalatine foramina were also studied. Results:The clinical anatomy of sphenopalatine foramen could be divided into four types: middle meatus typeï¼1.19%ï¼, trans-meatus typeï¼62.29%ï¼, superior meatus typeï¼33.33%ï¼ and double foramen typeï¼1.19%ï¼. The incidence of ethmoidal ridge was 98.81%. The distance from sphenopalatine foramina to posterior nasal canal wereï¼14.63±2.66ï¼ mm to left andï¼14.65±2.63ï¼ mm to right, The position Angle â a of lower margin of sphenopalatine foramina wereï¼62.36±10.05ï¼° to left andï¼61.51±11.82ï¼° to right, respectively. Axial CT images can be used to divide the sphenopalatine foramen into five levels: the upper edge of the sphenopalatine foramen level, the Vidian nerve level, the basal plate interaction level, the lower edge of the sphenopalatine foramen level and the pterygopalatine canal level. The agreement between endoscopic anatomy of sphenopalatine foramen and imaging navigation was 100%. Conclusion:The sphenopalatine foramina exhibit various anatomical types. The preoperative navigational CBCT reading can effectively identify the type of sphenopalatine foramina, guide the choice of surgical method, and help avoid serious complications. This has significant clinical application value.

Radiation injury of blood vessels (RIBV) is a serious long-term complication of radiotherapy, characterized by the development of atherosclerosis. The involvement of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) senescence in the pathogenesis of radiation-induced atherosclerosis has been implicated, yet the precise mechanisms governing VSMCs senescence remain inadequately comprehended. In this study, the senescence of VSMCs was examined by employing SA-ß-gal staining and assessing the expression of p16 and p21, both in vivo and in vitro. Our findings revealed that ionizing radiation (IR) has the potential to augment cellular senescence. In addition, IR significantly activated the NF-κB pathway, as evidenced by increased p65 nuclear translocation, phospho-p65 expression, and enhanced binding ability of p65 (EMSA). Furthermore, a decrease in HMGB2 expression following exposure to IR was observed via Western blot analysis, while CTCF expression remained unchanged. Interestingly, the formation of CTCF spatial clustering was detected under super-resolution fluorescence microscopy. Concurrently, the ChIP technique identified the facilitation of the interaction between CTCF and p16 gene through IR. The inhibition of CTCF or the overexpression of HMGB2 through lentiviruses effectively eliminates the formation of CTCF clusters and the upregulation of p16 and p21 after IR. Inhibition of NF-κB activation induced by IR by PDTC (100 µM) led to a decrease in the staining of SA-ß-gal, a reduction in p16 expression, an increase in HMGB2 protein expression and a decrease in CTCF clusters formation. This study provided significant insights into the role and mechanism of IR in VSMCs senescence by regulating NF-κB/CTCF/p16 pathway.

BACKGROUND: Brain metastasis is one of the main causes of recurrence and death in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Although radiotherapy is the main local therapy for brain metastasis, it is inevitable that some cancer cells become resistant to radiation. Microglia, as macrophages colonized in the brain, play an important role in the tumor microenvironment. Radiotherapy could activate microglia to polarize into both the M1 and M2 phenotypes. Therefore, searching for crosstalk molecules within the microenvironment that can specifically regulate the polarization of microglia is a potential strategy for improving radiation resistance. METHODS: We used databases to detect the expression of MIF in NSCLC and its relationship with prognosis. We analyzed the effects of targeted blockade of the MIF/CD74 axis on the polarization and function of microglia during radiotherapy using flow cytometry. The mouse model of brain metastasis was used to assess the effect of targeted blockade of MIF/CD74 axis on the growth of brain metastasis. RESULT: Our findings reveals that the macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) was highly expressed in NSCLC and is associated with the prognosis of NSCLC. Mechanistically, we demonstrated CD74 inhibition reversed radiation-induced AKT phosphorylation in microglia and promoted the M1 polarization in combination of radiation. Additionally, blocking the MIF-CD74 interaction between NSCLC and microglia promoted microglia M1 polarization. Furthermore, radiation improved tumor hypoxia to decrease HIF-1α dependent MIF secretion by NSCLC. MIF inhibition enhanced radiosensitivity for brain metastasis via synergistically promoting microglia M1 polarization in vivo. CONCLUSIONS: Our study revealed that targeting the MIF-CD74 axis promoted microglia M1 polarization and synergized with radiotherapy for brain metastasis in NSCLC.

BACKGROUND: The evasion of the immune response by tumor cells through programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) has been identified as a factor contributing to resistance to radioimmunotherapy in lung cancer patients. However, the precise molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of PD-L1 remain incompletely understood. This study aimed to investigate the role of cyclin-dependent kinase-like 1 (CDKL1) in the modulation of PD-L1 expression and the response to radioimmunotherapy in lung cancer. METHODS: The tumorigenic roles of CDKL1 were assessed via cell growth, colony formation, and EdU assays and an in vivo nude mouse xenograft model. The in vitro radiosensitization effect of CDKL1 was evaluated using a neutral comet assay, γH2AX foci formation analysis, and a clonogenic cell survival assay. The proteinâprotein interactions were confirmed via coimmunoprecipitation and GST pulldown assays. The regulation of PD-L1 by CDKL1 was evaluated via chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), real-time quantitative PCR, and flow cytometry analysis. An in vitro conditioned culture model and an in vivo C57BL/6J mouse xenograft model were developed to detect the activation markers of CD8+ T cells and evaluate the efficacy of CDKL1 overexpression combined with radiotherapy (RT) and an anti-PD-L1 antibody in treating lung cancer. RESULTS: CDKL1 was downregulated and suppressed the growth and proliferation of lung cancer cells and increased radiosensitivity in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, CDKL1 interacted with the transcription factor YBX1 and decreased the binding affinity of YBX1 for the PD-L1 gene promoter, which consequently inhibits the expression of PD-L1, ultimately leading to the activation of CD8+ T cells and the inhibition of immune evasion in lung cancer. Moreover, the combination of CDKL1 overexpression, RT, and anti-PD-L1 antibody therapy exhibited the most potent antitumor efficacy against lung cancer. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings demonstrate that CDKL1 plays a crucial role in regulating PD-L1 expression, thereby enhancing the antitumor effects of radioimmunotherapy. These results suggest that CDKL1 may be a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of lung cancer.

This single-arm, multicenter, phase 2 trial (NCT04106180) investigated the triple combination of sintilimab (anti-PD1 antibody), stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). With a median follow-up of 32.1 months, 18 (36.7%, 90% CI 25.3%-49.5%) of the 49 evaluable patients had an objective response, meeting the primary endpoint. Secondary endpoints included out-of-field (abscopal) response rate (ASR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs). The ASR was 30.6% (95% CI 18.3%-45.4%). The median PFS and OS were 5.9 (95% CI 2.5-9.3) and 18.4 (95% CI 9.7-27.1) months, respectively. Any grade and grade 3 TRAEs occurred in 44 (86.3%) and 6 (11.8%) patients, without grade 4-5 TRAEs. Moreover, in pre-specified biomarker analyses, SBRT-induced increase of follicular helper T cells (Tfh) in unirradiated tumor lesions and patient's blood, as well as of circulating IL-21 levels, was found associated with improved prognosis. Taken together, the triple combination therapy was well tolerated with promising efficacy and Tfh may play a critical role in SBRT-triggered anti-tumor immunity in metastatic NSCLC.

The protein kinase casein kinase 2 (CK2) exerts its influence on the metabolism of three major cellular substances by phosphorylating essential protein molecules involved in various cellular metabolic pathways. These substances include hormones, especially insulin, rate-limiting enzymes, transcription factors of key genes, and cytokines. This regulatory role of CK2 is closely tied to important cellular processes such as cell proliferation and apoptosis. Additionally, tumor cells undergo metabolic reprogramming characterized by aerobic glycolysis, accelerated lipid ß-oxidation, and abnormally active glutamine metabolism. In this context, CK2, which is overexpressed in various tumors, also plays a pivotal role. Hence, this review aims to summarize the regulatory mechanisms of CK2 in diverse metabolic pathways and tumor development, providing novel insights for the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of metabolism-related diseases and cancers.

This single-arm, multi-center clinical trial aimed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, DLT, recommended dose (RD), preliminary efficacy, and pharmacokinetics (PK) characteristics of lurbinectedin, a selective inhibitor of oncogenic transcription, in Chinese patients with advanced solid tumors, including relapsed SCLC. Patients with advanced solid tumors were recruited in the dose-escalation stage and received lurbinectedin in a 3 + 3 design (two cohorts: 2.5 mg/m2 and 3.2 mg/m2, IV, q3wk). The RD was expanded in the following dose-expansion stage, including relapsed SCLC patients after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. The primary endpoints included safety profile, tolerability, DLT, RD, and preliminary efficacy profile, while the secondary endpoints included PK characteristics. In the dose-escalation stage, ten patients were included, while one patient had DLT in the 3.2 mg/m2 cohort, which was also the RD for the dose-expansion stage. At cutoff (May 31, 2022), 22 SCLC patients were treated in the ongoing dose-expansion stage, and the median follow-up was 8.1 months (range 3.0-11.7). The most common grade ≥ 3 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) included neutropenia (77.3%), leukopenia (63.6%), thrombocytopenia (40.9%), anemia (18.2%), and ALT increased (18.2%). The most common severe adverse events (SAEs) included neutropenia (27.3%), leukopenia (22.7%), thrombocytopenia (18.2%), and vomiting (9.1%). No treatment-related deaths occurred. The Independent Review Committee (IRC)-assessed ORR was 45.5% (95% CI 26.9-65.3). Lurbinectedin at the RD (3.2 mg/m2) showed manageable safety and acceptable tolerability in Chinese patients with advanced solid tumors, and demonstrates promising efficacy in Chinese patients with SCLC as second-line therapy.Trial registration: This study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04638491, 20/11/2020.

INTRODUCTION: Treatment options for second-generation (2nd-gen) ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)-resistant patients are limited. We evaluated the safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of ficonalkib (SY-3505), a third-generation (3rd-gen) ALK TKI, in patients with advanced ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer. METHODS: This first-in-human, phase 1/2 study (Chinese Clinical Trial Registry identifier: ChiCTR1900025619; ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT05257512) had two parts. Phase 1 included a dose-escalation phase (25-800 mg quaque die [QD]) and a dose-expansion phase (500 mg QD or 600 mg QD). Phase 2 enrolled patients treated at recommended phase 2 dose. Primary end points were safety in phase 1 and objective response rate (ORR) in phase 2. RESULTS: Between April 21, 2020, and August 31, 2023, a total of 127 patients with advanced ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer were enrolled, with 62 in phase 1. Ficonalkib was well absorbed and tolerated, with one dose-limited toxicity event occurring at 800 mg QD. Treatment-related adverse events occurred in 85.5% of patients, with 19.4% experienced greater than or equal to grade 3 events. The ORR was 38.3% (23 of 60, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 26.1%-51.8%) in phase 1, and 600 mg QD was established as recommended phase 2 dose. In phase 2, a total of 65 patients received ficonalkib at 600 mg QD. In total, 88 patients received ficonalkib at 600 mg QD in phase 1/2, and all had received prior 2nd-gen ALK TKI treatment. Furthermore, 90.9% of the patients experienced treatment-related adverse events and 14.8% experienced greater than or equal to grade 3 events. The ORR in efficacy-assessable patients who received ficonalkib at 600 mg QD was 47.5% (38 of 80, 95% CI: 36.2%-59.0%), with an intracranial ORR of 37.5% (12 of 32, 95% CI: 21.1%-56.3%) in these patients with measurable brain lesions at baseline.

Radioresistance is a major constraint on the efficacy of lung cancer radiotherapy, but its mechanism has not been fully elucidated. Here, we found that FBXO22 was aberrantly highly expressed in lung cancer and that FBXO22 knockdown increased the radiosensitivity of lung cancer cells. Mechanistically, FBXO22 promoted Rad51 gene transcription by increasing the level of FOXM1 at the Rad51 promoter, thereby inducing the formation of lung cancer radioresistance. Furthermore, we found that deguelin, a potential inhibitor of FBXO22, enhanced radiosensitivity in an FBXO22/Rad51-dependent manner and was safely tolerated in vivo. Collectively, our results illustrate that FBXO22 induces lung cancer radioresistance by activating the FOXM1/Rad51 axis and provide preclinical evidence for the clinical translation of this critical target.

BACKGROUND: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have improved the prognosis of patients with non-small cell lung cancer but rarely been explored in pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma (PSC). This multicenter study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of ICIs for PSC and its underlying mechanism. METHODS: Advanced PSC who received ICIs between August 2018 and May 2022 from 11 centers in China were included. Clinical characteristics and treatment information were collected. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) and whole transcriptome sequencing were conducted on pre-treatment samples to explore the mechanism. RESULTS: 113 patients with PSC were enrolled, the median PFS for patients receiving ICIs therapy was 8.77 months (95 % confidence interval, 4.21 to 13.32). Combining ICIs with anti-angiogenic agents significantly increased PFS (p = 0.04). Liver metastasis and combination therapy with anti-angiogenic agents were independent risk factors for PFS (Hazard Ratio [HR] = 3.652, p = 0.019 and HR = 0.435, p = 0.017, respectively). WES showed that PSC presented with a TMB of 6.3 mutations per million base pairs. High expression of TNFα signaling and glycolysis related gene showed a better prognosis. CONCLUSIONS: ICIs showed promising benefits for advanced PSC, and the addition of anti-angiogenic therapy might be a more effective treatment strategy for this disease.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: NTRK fusions result in constitutively active oncogenic TRK proteins responsible for â¼ 0.2 % of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cases. Approximately 40 % of patients with advanced NSCLC develop CNS metastases; therefore, treatments with intracranial (IC) efficacy are needed. In an integrated analysis of three phase I/II studies (ALKA-372-001: EudraCT 2012-000148-88; STARTRK-1: NCT02097810; STARTRK-2: NCT02568267), entrectinib, a potent, CNS-active, TRK inhibitor, demonstrated efficacy in patients with NTRK fusion-positive (fp) NSCLC (objective response rate [ORR]: 64.5 %; 2 August 2021 data cut-off). We present updated data for this cohort. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eligible patients were ≥ 18 years with locally advanced/metastatic, NTRK-fp NSCLC with ≥ 12 months of follow-up. Tumor responses were assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) per RECIST v1.1 at Week 4 and every eight weeks thereafter. Co-primary endpoints: ORR; duration of response (DoR). Secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS); overall survival (OS); IC efficacy; safety. Enrolment cut-off: 2 July 2021; data cut-off: 2 August 2022. RESULTS: The efficacy-evaluable population included 51 patients with NTRK-fp NSCLC. Median age was 60.0 years (range 22-88); 20 patients (39.2 %) had investigator-assessed baseline CNS metastases. Median survival follow-up was 26.3 months (95 % CI 21.0-34.1). ORR was 62.7 % (95 % CI 48.1-75.9), with six complete and 26 partial responses. Median DoR and PFS were 27.3 months (95 % CI 19.9-30.9) and 28.0 months (95 % CI 15.7-30.4), respectively. Median OS was 41.5 months. In patients with BICR-assessed baseline CNS metastases, IC-ORR was 64.3 % (n = 9/14; 95 % CI 35.1-87.2), including seven complete responders, and IC-DoR was 55.7 months. In the safety-evaluable population (n = 55), most treatment-related adverse events were grade 1/2; no treatment-related deaths were reported. CONCLUSION: Entrectinib has continued to demonstrate deep and durable systemic and IC responses in patients with NTRK-fp NSCLC.

INTRODUCTION: Trilaciclib is a transient cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitor that decreases the incidence of chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression in extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). TRACES study was designed to assess the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics (PK) of trilaciclib before chemotherapy in Chinese patients with ES-SCLC. METHODS: The study included an open-label safety run-in part (Part 1) and double-blinded, placebo-controlled part (Part 2) where patients received trilaciclib or placebo before chemotherapy. Treatment-naïve or previously treated ES-SCLC patients received intravenous trilaciclib (240â¯mg/m2) or placebo before etoposide/carboplatin or topotecan, respectively. Primary endpoints were PK, safety and duration of severe neutropenia (DSN) in Cycle 1 in Part 1 and Part 2. Exploratory endpoints included the effect of trilaciclib on other myeloprotection endpoints, safety and antitumor efficacy. RESULTS: Overall, 95 Chinese patients were enrolled, of which 12 and 83 patients were in Part 1 and Part 2, respectively. In Part 1, trilaciclib was well tolerated. Non-compartmental analysis results revealed no substantial differences in the main exposure parameters. In Part 2, 41 patients received trilaciclib, and 42 received placebo. Patients in trilaciclib arm vs placebo arm had a clinically and statistically significant decrease in DSN (mean [SD]) in Cycle 1 (0 [1.7] vs 2 [3.0] days; Pâ¯=â¯0.0003), with improvements in additional neutrophil, red blood cell, and platelet measures. After a median follow-up of 14.1â¯months, the median overall survival was 12.0â¯months in trilaciclib arm and 8.8â¯months in placebo arm (HR, 0.69; 95â¯% CI: 0.40-1.22). Median progression-free survival was 4.8â¯months and 4.3â¯months, respectively (HR, 0.86; 95â¯% CI: 0.53-1.39). Trilaciclib had a well-tolerated safety profile. CONCLUSIONS: Trilaciclib in the Chinese population demonstrated a similar PK and safety profile as seen in other global trials. There was significant reduction of DSN in Cycle 1, thereby substantiating the myeloprotective effects of trilaciclib in Chinese ES-SCLC patients.

BACKGROUND: Telehealth has emerged as a popular channel for providing outpatient services in many countries. However, the majority of telehealth systems focus on operational functions and offer only a sectional patient journey at most. Experiences with incorporating longitudinal real-world medical record data into telehealth are valuable but have not been widely shared. The feasibility and usability of such a telehealth platform, with comprehensive, real-world data via a live feed, for cancer patient care are yet to be studied. OBJECTIVE: The primary purpose of this study is to understand the feasibility and usability of cancer patient care using a telehealth platform with longitudinal, real-world data via a live feed as a supplement to hospital electronic medical record systems specifically from physician's perspective. METHODS: A telehealth platform was constructed and launched for both physicians and patients. Real-world data were collected and curated using a comprehensive data model. Physician activities on the platform were recorded as system logs and analyzed. In February 2023, a survey was conducted among the platform's registered physicians to assess the specific areas of patient care and to quantify their before and after experiences, including the number of patients managed, time spent, dropout rate, visit rate, and follow-up data. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were performed on the data sets. RESULTS: Over a period of 15 months, 16,035 unique users (13,888 patients, 1539 friends and family members, and 174 physician groups with 608 individuals) registered on the platform. More than 382,000 messages including text, reminders, and pictures were generated by physicians when communicating with patients. The survey was completed by 78 group leaders (45% of the 174 physician groups). Of the participants, 84% (65.6/78; SD 8.7) reported a positive experience, with efficient communication, remote supervision, quicker response to questions, adverse event prevention, more complete follow-up data, patient risk reduction, cross-organization collaboration, and a reduction in in-person visits. The majority of the participants (59/78, 76% to 76/78, 97.4%) estimated improvements in time spent, number of patients managed, the drop-off rate, and access to medical history, with the average ranging from 57% to 105%. When compared with prior platforms, responses from physicians indicated better experiences in terms of time spent, the drop-off rate, and medical history, while the number of patients managed did not significantly change. CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that a telehealth platform, equipped with comprehensive, real-world data via a live feed, is feasible and effective for cancer patient care. It enhances inpatient management by improving time efficiencies, reducing drop-off rates, and providing easy access to medical history. Moreover, it fosters a positive experience in physician-patient interactions.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring ROS1 rearrangements is a molecular subset that exhibits favorable responses to tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment than chemotherapy. This study investigated real-world treatment patterns and survival outcomes among patients with ROS1-rearranged advanced NSCLC. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients with ROS1-rearranged advanced NSCLC treated in four different hospitals in China from August 2018 to March 2022. The study analyzed gene fusion distribution, resistance patterns, and survival outcomes. RESULTS: ROS1 rearrangement occurs in 1.8 % (550/31,225) of our study cohort. CD74 was the most common ROS1 fusion partner, accounting for 45.8 %. Crizotinib was used in 73.9 % of patients in the first-line treatment, and an increased use of chemotherapy, ceritinib, and lorlatinib was seen in the second-line setting. Lung (43.2 %) and brain (27.6 %) were the most common sites of progression in first-line setting, while brain progression (39.2 %) was the most common site of progression in second-line. Median overall survival was 46 months (95 % confidence intervals: 39.6-52.4). First-line crizotinib use yielded significantly superior survival outcomes over chemotherapy in terms of progression-free (18.5 vs. 6.0; p < 0.001) and overall survival (49.8 vs. 37; p = 0.024). The choice of treatment in the latter line also had survival implications, wherein survival outcomes were better when first-line crizotinib was followed by sequential TKI therapy than first-line chemotherapy followed by TKI therapy. CONCLUSIONS: Our study provided insights into the real-world treatment, drug resistance patterns, and survival outcomes among patients with ROS1-rearranged NSCLC. This information serves as a valuable reference for guiding the treatment of this molecular subset of NSCLC.

Background: MET overexpression represents the most MET aberration in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, except MET exon 14 (METex14) skipping mutation was recognized as a clinical biomarker, the role of MET overexpression as a predictive factor to MET inhibitor is not clear. Objectives: The purpose of the pooled analysis is to explore the safety and efficiency of gumarontinib, a highly selective oral MET inhibitor, in drive-gene negative NSCLC patients with MET overexpression. Design and methods: NSCLC patients with MET overexpression [immunohistochemistry (IHC) ⩾3+ as determined by central laboratory] not carrying epidermal growth factor receptor mutation, METex14 skipping mutation or other known drive gene alternations who received Gumarontinib 300 mg QD from two single arm studies were selected and pooled for the analysis. The efficacy [objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), duration of response, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS)] and safety [treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE), treatment related AE (TRAE) and serious AE (SAE) were assessed. Results: A total of 32 patients with MET overexpression were included in the analysis, including 12 treatment naïve patients who refused or were unsuitable for chemotherapy, and 20 pre-treated patients who received ⩾1 lines of prior systemic anti-tumour therapies. Overall, the ORR was 37.5% [95% confidence interval (CI): 21.1-56.3%], the DCR was 81.3% (95% CI: 63.6-92.8%), median PFS (mPFS) and median OS (mOS) were 6.9 month (95% CI: 3.6-9.7) and 17.0 month (95% CI: 10.3-not evaluable), respectively. The most common AEs were oedema (59.4%), hypoalbuminaemia (40.6%), alanine aminotransferase increased (31.3%). Conclusion: Gumarontinib showed promising antitumour activity in driver-gene negative locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC patients with MET overexpression, which warranted a further clinical trial. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03457532; NCT04270591.
