RESUMO
A patient with a PD-L1-negative, TMB-low, KEAP1/STK11 co-mutated metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) experienced a multisite radiological progression at 3 months after initiation of chemoimmunotherapy as first-line treatment for metastatic disease. After the radiological progression, while she was not undergoing treatment, the patient had spontaneous lesions shrinkage and further achieved a prolonged complete response. Genomic and transcriptomic data collected at baseline and at the time of pseudoprogression allowed us to biologically characterize this rare response pattern. We observed the presence of a tumor-specific T-cell response against tumor-specific neoantigens (TNAs). Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) expression following chemoimmunotherapy was also observed, concurrent with biological features of an anti-viral-like innate immune response with type I IFN signaling and production of CXCR3-associated chemokines. This is the first biological characterization of a NSCLC pseudoprogression under chemoimmunotherapy followed by a prolonged complete response in a PD-L1-negative, TMB-low, KEAP1/STK11 co-mutated NSCLC. These clinical and biological data underline that even patients with multiple factors of resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors could trigger a tumor-specific immune response to tumor neoantigen, leading to complete eradication of the tumor and probably a vaccinal immune response.

Background: Olaparib is an inhibitor of the human poly-(ADP-ribose)-polymerase enzymes (PARP1/2) needed to repair single-strand DNA breaks. It is used in breast, ovarian, prostate and pancreatic cancer. Objectives: This work aimed to describe the pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) relationship between olaparib plasma concentrations and common adverse effects (i.e. anaemia and hypercreatininaemia), in a real-life setting, to propose a target concentration for therapeutic drug monitoring. Methods: Two PK/PD models describing the evolution of haemoglobinaemia and creatininaemia as a function of time were developed, based on data from, respectively, 38 and 37 patients receiving olaparib. The final model estimates were used to calculate the incidence of anaemia and creatinine increase according to plasma trough concentrations for 1000 virtual subjects to define target exposure. Results: The final models correctly described the temporal evolution of haemoglobinaemia and creatininaemia for all patients. The haemoglobinaemia PK/PD model is inspired by Friberg's model, and the creatininaemia PK/PD model is an indirect response model. Model parameters were in agreement with physiological values and close to literature values for similar models. The mean (population) plasma haemoglobin concentration at treatment initiation, as estimated by the model, was 11.62 g/dL, while creatinine concentration was 71.91 µmol/L. Using simulations, we have identified a target trough concentration of 3500-4000 ng/mL, above which more than 20% of patients would report grade ≥3 anaemia. Conclusion: Based on real-world data, we were able to properly describe the time course of haemoglobinaemia and plasma creatininaemia during olaparib treatment.
RESUMO
Background: Advanced biliary tract cancer (BTC) has a poor prognosis. Gemcitabine with platinum chemotherapy was the standard first-line chemotherapeutic regimen until the recent addition of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies. After disease progression, the only second-line chemotherapy that has demonstrated a survival benefit versus supportive care is FOLFOX (folinic acid, fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin), with a modest benefit. This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of second-line FOLFIRI (folinic acid, fluorouracil, and irinotecan) combined with bevacizumab for advanced BTC. Methods: This single-center retrospective study enrolled patients with metastatic BTC (intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma [ICC], extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma [ECC], or gallbladder carcinoma) that progressed after first-line gemcitabine-based chemotherapy. FOLFIRI-bevacizumab was administered intravenously every 2 weeks [folinic acid 200 mg/m², fluorouracil 400 mg/m² (bolus), fluorouracil 2400 mg/m² (46-h continuous intravenous infusion), irinotecan 180 mg/m², and bevacizumab 5 mg/kg] until unacceptable toxicity, patient refusal, or disease progression. Results: Overall, 28 patients received the FOLFIRI-bevacizumab regimen after gemcitabine-based chemotherapy. The median overall survival (OS) was 9.0 months (95% CI 6.4-16.5). The OS rate was 39.3% (95% CI 24.8-62.3) and 10.7% (95% CI 3.7-32.1) at 12- and 24-months respectively. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 5.2 months (95% CI 3.1-10.2) with FOLFIRI-bevacizumab. The PFS rates at 12 months and 24 months were 17.9% (95% CI 8.19-39.5] and 10.7% (95% CI 3.7-31.2), respectively. The overall response rate (ORR) to FOLFIRI-bevacizumab was 23.1%, with a disease control rate (DCR) of 69.3%. Grade 3-4 adverse events (sAE) were reported in 20 patients (71.4%) treated with FOLFIRI-bevacizumab. Conclusion: FOLFIRI-bevacizumab as a second-line treatment for advanced BTC after gemcitabine-based chemotherapy showed efficacy and safety with a promising tumor response rate in this retrospective single-center study.
