RESUMEN
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have demonstrated effectiveness in treating various cancers, particularly exhibiting specificity in targeting human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer. Recent advancements in phase 3 clinical trials have broadened current understanding of ADCs, especially trastuzumab deruxtecan, in treating other HER2-expressing malignancies. This expansion of knowledge has led to the US Food and Drug Administration's approval of trastuzumab deruxtecan for HER2-positive and HER2-low breast cancer, HER2-positive gastric cancer, and HER2-mutant nonsmall cell lung cancer. Concurrent with the increasing use of ADCs in oncology, there is growing concern among health care professionals regarding the rise in the incidence of interstitial lung disease or pneumonitis (ILD/p), which is associated with anti-HER2 ADC therapy. Studies on anti-HER2 ADCs have reported varying ILD/p mortality rates. Consequently, it is crucial to establish guidelines for the diagnosis and management of ILD/p in patients receiving anti-HER2 ADC therapy. To this end, a panel of Chinese experts was convened to formulate a strategic approach for the identification and management of ILD/p in patients treated with anti-HER2 ADC therapy. This report presents the expert panel's opinions and recommendations, which are intended to guide the management of ILD/p induced by anti-HER2 ADC therapy in clinical practice.

Currently, there is a lack of effective second-line and subsequent treatments for patients with extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC), and the establishment of a standardized treatment protocol is still underway. Considering the potential synergistic therapeutic effects of anti-angiogenic drugs and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), combination therapy could be a viable option for treating lung cancer. This research concentrates on assessing the efficacy and safety of anlotinib in combination with ICIs for the treatment of ES-SCLC. We undertook a retrospective analysis of patients with extensive-stage SCLC who received anlotinib in combination with ICIs as second-line and subsequent treatment at Zhejiang Cancer Hospital between April 2020 and April 2023. Survival rates were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Among the 43 patients who received combination therapy, there were no cases of complete response (CR), 16 patients who achieved partial response (PR), 21 patients who had stable disease (SD), and 6 patients who experienced disease progression (PD). This resulted in an overall response rate (ORR) of 37.2% (16/43) and a disease control rate (DCR) of 86.0% (34/43). The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 4.0 months (95% CI: 2.74-5.26), and the median overall survival (OS) time was 10 months (95% CI: 4.8-15.2). Cox multifactorial regression analysis disclosed that the performance score (PS) and the number of metastatic organs were independent factors influencing PFS in ES-SCLC (p<0.001). The combination therapy demonstrated acceptable toxicity, with a total grade 3/4 toxicity rate of 30.2%. The combination therapy showed a notable association with several adverse events, including hand-foot syndrome, hypertension, and fatigue, which were the most significant. Combining anlotinib with immune checkpoint inhibitors has demonstrated favorable efficacy and safety in the treatment of second-line and subsequent extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer.

AIMS: To investigate the predictive value of baseline C-reactive protein (CRP) levels on the efficacy of chemotherapy plus immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in patients with advanced lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this retrospective multicenter study spanning from January 2016 to December 2020, advanced LSCC patients initially treated with chemotherapy or a combination of chemotherapy and ICI were categorized into normal and elevated CRP subgroups. The relationship between CRP levels and treatment outcomes was analyzed using multivariate Cox proportional hazards models and multivariate logistic regression, focusing primarily on the progression-free survival (PFS) endpoint, and secondarily on overall survival (OS) and objective response rate (ORR) endpoints. Survival curves were generated using the Kaplan-Meier method, with the log-rank test used for comparison between groups. RESULTS: Of the 245 patients evaluated, the 105 who received a combination of chemotherapy and ICI with elevated baseline CRP levels exhibited a significant reduction in PFS (median 6.5 months vs. 11.8 months, HR, 1.78; 95% CI: 1.12-2.81; p = 0.013) compared to those with normal CRP levels. Elevated CRP was identified as an independent risk factor for poor PFS through multivariate-adjusted analysis. However, among the 140 patients receiving chemotherapy alone, baseline CRP levels did not significantly influence PFS. Furthermore, within the combination therapy group, there was a notable decrease in the ORR (51% vs. 71%, p = 0.035), coupled with a significantly shorter OS (median 20.9 months vs. 31.5 months, HR, 2.24; 95% CI: 1.13-4.44; p = 0.033). CONCLUSION: In patients with advanced LSCC, elevated baseline CRP levels were identified as an independent predictive factor for the efficacy of combination therapy with chemotherapy and ICI, but not in chemotherapy alone. This suggests that CRP may be a valuable biomarker for guiding treatment strategies.

PURPOSE: The treatment of the advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with KRAS mutation has been closely paid more attention. The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of different first-line regimens in advanced KRAS-mutated non-small cell lung cancer. METHODS: In our retrospective study, we collected patients with advanced NSCLC with KRAS mutation in Zhejiang Cancer Hospital between January 2015 and May 2023. We analyzed the benefit of different first-line therapy according to theraputic methods and the differential effect of the same treatment method among KRAS-mutated subtypes. We divided the patients into group A (A1, chemotherapy alone; A2, immunotherapy alone) and group B (B1, chemotherapy plus immunotherapy; B2, chemotherapy combined with antiangiogenic therapy; B3, chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy plus antiangiogenic therapy). The Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to reflect the PFS and OS of different methods. The objective response rate (ORR) and the disease control rate (DCR) were used to evaluated the response. RESULTS: We enrolled 227 patients including eighty-two with KRAS G12C mutation. The ORR and DCR of first-line treatment in the overall population were 32.2% and 80.6% respectively. The median PFS was 6.7 months and the median OS was 17.4 months for the overall population. The PFS of the Group B was significantly better than that of the Group A (7.7 months vs 5.4 months, P = 0.003), while no significant difference in OS was observed (19.4 months vs 15.0 months, P = 0.077). In the Group B, chemotherapy combined immunotherapy with antiangiogenic therapy showed better PFS than chemotherapy plus immunotherapy (14.1 months vs 7.7 months, P = 0.049), and OS also showed that tendency of difference (31.9 months vs 19.3 months, P = 0.158). There was no statistically significant difference between KRAS G12C and non-G12C mutation according to first-line treatment methods, whereas patients with TP53 co-mutation showed a better survival benefit (OS, 23.7 vs 12.5 months, P = 0.023). CONCLUSION: In the first-line treatment, combination regimen has advantages over single regimen. Among them, chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy plus antiangiogenic therapy can achieve significant efficacy benefits.
RESUMEN
Background: While targeted therapy has become the standard treatment for certain non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with gene mutation positivity, there remains a lack of enough reports of the efficacy of mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) alterations in the real world. Objectives: We aimed to explore the efficacy and toxicity of targeted therapy in NSCLC patients with different types of MET alterations and hope to provide more clinical medication guidance. Design: Designed different subgroups to compare the efficacy and safety of targeted therapy in NSCLC patients with MET alterations. Methods: We conducted analyses on the efficacy and safety of mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (MET-TKI) therapy in NSCLC patients with MET alterations. Tumor response was evaluated based on the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 criteria, and both progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival were determined using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: Our study encompassed 116 NSCLC patients with MET alterations, including MET ex14 skipping mutation (n = 50), MET primary amplification (amp) (n = 25), and secondary amp (n = 41). Among treated patients, 34 achieved a partial response, while 52 exhibited stable disease. The overall response rate for the entire cohort was 29.31%, with a disease control rate of 74.14%. A significant difference was observed in the median PFS among patients with MET ex14 skipping mutation, MET primary amplification (amp), and secondary amp (10.4 versus 6.6 versus 4.5 months, p = 0.002). In all, 69 patients experienced drug-related adverse effects, with the most common being peripheral edema (35.34%), nausea and vomiting (21.55%), and fatigue (10.34%). In total, 29 patients (25%) encountered drug-related adverse reactions of grade 3 or higher. Conclusion: MET-TKI therapy works better for MET ex14 skipping mutation than other types of MET gene alteration. In the two MET amplified groups, the secondary amp was less effective. This study may provide more research support for the treatment of these patients.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Anlotinib, as a salvage treatment for patients after failure of third-line or later-line treatments for small cell lung cancer (SCLC), has shown efficacy in patients with brain metastases (BMs). However, the efficacy and safety of anlotinib alone or in combination with immunotherapy for SCLC with BMs remain unclear. METHOD: Patients treated with anlotinib alone or in combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) at the Zhejiang Cancer Hospital between April 2019 and February 2023 were identified. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to describe the progression-free survival (PFS) and intracranial PFS (iPFS). A waterfall diagram was used to indicate changes in intracranial lesions. RESULTS: A total of 48 patients were included; 29 received anlotinib alone, and 19 were administered anlotinib plus ICI. Combination therapy, compared with anlotinib, was associated with significantly longer PFS and iPFS (PFS: 8.1 months vs. 2.5 months, P < 0.001; iPFS: 8.1 months vs. 2.5 months, P = 0.004). Similar results were observed in patients with multiple BMs (PFS: 8.1 months vs. 1.9 months, P = 0.001; iPFS: 8.1 months vs. 1.9 months, P = 0.002). After third-line or later-line treatments, patients treated with ICI plus anlotinib also achieved significant PFS and iPFS benefits (PFS: 8.4 months vs. 2.1 months, P < 0.001; iPFS: 9.2 months vs. 2.1 months, P = 0.002). No new or severe adverse events were observed with combination therapy. CONCLUSION: The combination of anlotinib and ICI has promising intracranial and extracranial efficacy with tolerable toxicity, and may be a therapeutic option for SCLC patients with BMs.

BACKGROUND: The efficacy of afatinib or pyrotinib has been demonstrated in HER2-positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients; however, the efficacy of pyrotinib after afatinib progression has yet to be determined. METHOD: Patients with HER2 mutated advanced lung adenocarcinoma administered afatinib or pyrotinib monotherapy were enrolled. Those who received pyrotinib after afatinib were further analyzed to determine the efficacy and safety of pyrotinib after progression on afatinib. Survival curves were plotted with the Kaplan-Meier method. A swimming plot was used to describe the specific treatments. Additionally, patient-derived tumor organoids (PDTOs) were established from HER2-amplified NSCLC patient samples to investigate the antitumor activity of pyrotinib in HER2-amplified tumor cells in vitro. RESULTS: A total of 99 patients were enrolled, 13 of whom were administered pyrotinib after progression on afatinib. No statistical difference in PFS of pyrotinib was observed between patients whether be treated after afatinib progression or not (6.7 months vs. 4.4 months, P = 0.817), thus indicating that progression on afatinib did not affect the efficacy of pyrotinib. Further analysis was conducted on the former patients, which comprising eight patients administered interval chemotherapy after progression on afatinib. Two patients achieved PR after pyrotinib treatment. No independent factors were found to influence the PFS of pyrotinib. PDTOs confirmed the anti-tumor activity of pyrotinib in NSCLC tumor cells with HER2 amplification. CONCLUSIONS: Progression after prior afatinib treatment does not influence the efficacy of pyrotinib treatment. Pyrotinib may be a salvage option for patients with HER2 mutation who have experienced progression on afatinib.
RESUMEN
Background: With the widespread use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), patients inevitably experience immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Therefore, the study was conducted on the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with immune-related hepatitis (ir-hepatitis). Methods: We identified patients with advanced NSCLC who developed ir-hepatitis after immunotherapy between June 2016 and December 2022. Their irAEs were categorized according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.03 (CTCAE 4.03). Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank tests were used to analyze survival. Results: A total of 35 patients were enrolled in the study. The numbers of mild (grade 1-2) and severe (grade 3-4) ir-hepatitis cases were 13 (grade 1, 3; grade 2, 10) and 22 (grade 3, 17; grade 4, 5), respectively. The median onset time of ir-hepatitis was 1.6 months. The median progression-free survival (mPFS) was 8.3 months. PFS differed between patients with early ir-hepatitis developing within two treatment cycles and those with ir-hepatitis developing more than two treatment cycles (5.5 vs. 12.7 months, P=0.004). Patients with severe rather than mild ir-hepatitis tended to poorer PFS survival (5.8 vs. 11.2 months, P=0.130). The appearance of ir-hepatitis within two treatment cycles (P=0.002) and higher severity grades of ir-hepatitis (P=0.005) were independent risk factors for PFS. Conclusions: Early and severe ir-hepatitis are associated with worse survival benefits, which still required more basic and perspective studies.
RESUMEN
Background: Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-rearranged pulmonary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a rare subtype of non-small cell lung cancer and the treatment options are limited. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in advanced lung SCC patients with ALK rearrangement. Methods: We collected 11 primary lung SCC samples at the Zhejiang Cancer Hospital between March 2015 and October 2022. In addition, we conducted a literature search of previous studies, and a pooled analysis of 34 patients was performed. The Kaplan-Meier method was applied to generate progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) curves, and a log-rank test was used to compare PFS and OS curves for different subgroups. Results: A pooled analysis of 36 patients was performed. Nineteen patients (52.8%) achieved partial response and 9 (25.0%) had stable disease. The objective response rate was 52.8%, and the disease control rate was 77.8%. The median PFS was 7.10 months. Further, alectinib was not superior to crizotinib in prolonging PFS (9.00 vs. 6.00 months, P=0.60). The median PFS of patients receiving initial ALK TKIs as the first-line therapy and second- or further-line therapy was 9.00 and 6.00 months (P=0.26), respectively. Conclusions: Patients with ALK-rearranged lung SCC obtained moderate benefit from ALK-inhibitor therapy. Compared with crizotinib, alectinib did not show superior efficacy in the treatment of ALK-positive lung SCC. Further high-quality trials are warranted.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUNDS: Immunotherapy is effective for patients with advanced thymic carcinoma (TC). However, the effectiveness of rechallenge immunotherapy in patients who are resistant to immunotherapy has not been investigated. METHODS: Thirty-five patients with advanced TC using immunotherapy between 2016 and 2023 at Zhejiang Cancer Hospital, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, and Fujian Cancer Hospital were evaluated in this study. Tumor response was evaluated according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS: A total of 35 patients were included in this study. The median PFS (mPFS) for all patients was 5.43 months and the median OS (mOS) was 16 months. After rechallenge immunotherapy, only three patients achieved partial response, resulting in an overall response rate of 16.7%, and nine patients attained stable disease, resulting in a disease control rate of 66.7%. Patients who underwent rechallenge immunotherapy had shorter mPFS compared to chemotherapy (3.53 months vs. 6.00 months, P = 0.041). In addition, the incidence of Grade 3-4 treatment-related adverse events in these patients was 22.2%. CONCLUSION: Rechallenge immunotherapy has poor efficacy in immunotolerant TC patients.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Mesenchymal epithelial transition factor (MET) is a rare oncologic driver gene, and information on immunotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with this driver gene is limited. Here we evaluate the efficacy and safety of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) under different therapeutic regimen for NSCLC patients with MET alterations. METHODS: From June 2019 to December 2023, we assessed the efficacy and toxicity of ICIs in 42 NSCLC patients with MET alterations. Survival curves were plotted using the Kaplan-Meier method and the Cox proportional hazards model applied for univariate and multivariate analyses. We assessed the size of target lesion according to RECIST v1.1, and objective response rate (ORR) was defined as the sum of complete response (CR) and partial response (PR), disease control rate (DCR) as the sum of CR, PR, and disease stable. RESULTS: A total of 42 NSCLC patients with MET alterations were included in this retrospective study, 10 was MET 14 skipping mutation and 32 was MET amplification. The ORR for ICI treatment was 30.95% and the DCR was 71.43%. Median progression-free survival (mPFS) and median overall survival (OS) were 4.40 and 13.97 months, respectively. There exists statistical differences between the mPFS of ICI monotherapy and combine ICI therapy (2.8 vs 7.8 months, p = 0.022). The incidence of drug-related adverse reactions was 47.62%, mainly bone marrow suppression (14.28%), immune-related pneumonia (7.14%), and liver function impairment (7.14%), and six patients (14.28%) experiencing grade 3 or above adverse events. CONCLUSION: NSCLC patients with MET alterations can benefit from immunotherapy, especially the patients treated by combined ICI therapy. However, special attention should be paid to the occurrence of grade 3/4 adverse reactions while using the combined ICI therapy.
RESUMEN
Background: Although immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment for advanced thymic carcinoma exhibits promising efficacy, factors that affect the efficacy and prognosis, including metastases sites, remain uncertain. Objectives: Our study aimed to investigate the determinants of survival among patients with advanced thymic carcinoma who underwent immunotherapy in real-world settings, with implications for clinical practice. Designs: Different therapy regimens of immunotherapy were produced to analyze the influence of liver metastases on survival and prognosis for advanced thymic carcinoma patients. Methods: Data for advanced thymic carcinoma patients receiving immunotherapy and their metastases sites were collected for analysis from seven different hospitals between January 2015 and January 2023. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) analyses were performed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Cox analysis was used to evaluate factors influencing survival. Results: The present study analyzed 136 advanced thymic carcinoma patients from seven different hospitals.The PFS for all patients receiving immunotherapy was 6.4 months, while the OS was 24.0 months. The objective response rate was different for patients with liver and non-liver metastases (11.9% versus 37.2%, p = 0.003). The disease control rate values were also different between the two groups (47.6% versus 80.9%, p = 0.037). The PFS for patients with liver metastases demonstrated poor immunotherapy efficacy compared to patients with non-liver metastases (3.0 versus 8.0 months, p < 0.0001). The OS was also significantly different between these two patient groups (16.1 versus 29.1 months, p = 0.009). Conclusion: Immunotherapy had poor efficacy in advanced thymic carcinoma patients with liver metastases.
RESUMEN
Besides participating in diverse pathological and physiological processes, extracellular vesicles (EVs) are also excellent drug-delivery vehicles. However, clinical drugs modulating EV levels are still lacking. Here, we show that proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) reduce EVs by enhancing macropinocytosis-mediated EV uptake. PPIs accelerate intestinal cell endocytosis of autocrine immunosuppressive EVs through macropinocytosis, thereby aggravating inflammatory bowel disease. PPI-induced macropinocytosis facilitates the clearance of immunosuppressive EVs from tumour cells, improving antitumor immunity. PPI-induced macropinocytosis also increases doxorubicin and antisense oligonucleotides of microRNA-155 delivery efficiency by EVs, leading to enhanced therapeutic effects of drug-loaded EVs on tumours and acute liver failure. Mechanistically, PPIs reduce cytosolic pH, promote ATP6V1A (v-ATPase subunit) disassembly from the vacuolar membrane and enhance the assembly of plasma membrane v-ATPases, thereby inducing macropinocytosis. Altogether, our results reveal a mechanism for macropinocytic regulation and PPIs as potential modulators of EV levels, thus regulating their functions.

A dose-escalation and expansion, phase 1/2 study (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04818333) was conducted to assess the novel antibody-drug conjugate SHR-A1811 in pretreated HER2-altered advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Here, we report results from the phase 1 portion. Patients who had previously failed or were intolerant to platinum-based chemotherapy were enrolled and received SHR-A1811 intravenously at doses of 3.2 to 8.0 mg/kg every 3 weeks. Dose escalation followed a Bayesian logistic regression model that included overdose control, with subsequent selection of tolerable levels for dose expansion. Overall, 63 patients were enrolled, including 43 receiving a recommended dose for expansion of 4.8 mg/kg. All patients had HER2-mutant disease. Dose-limiting toxicity occurred in one patient in the 8.0 mg/kg dose cohort. Grade ≥ 3 treatment-related adverse events occurred in 29 (46.0%) patients. One patient in the 6.4 mg/kg cohort died due to interstitial lung disease. As of April 11, 2023, the 4.8 mg/kg cohort showed an objective response rate of 41.9% (95% CI 27.0-57.9), and a disease control rate of 95.3% (95% CI 84.2-99.4). The median duration of response was 13.7 months, with 13 of 18 responses ongoing. The median progression-free survival was 8.4 months (95% CI 7.1-15.0). SHR-A1811 demonstrated favourable safety and clinically meaningful efficacy in pretreated advanced HER2-mutant NSCLC.

Background: CD93 reportedly facilitates tumor angiogenesis. However, whether CD93 regulates antitumor immunity remains undeciphered. Methods: Lung tumor tissues, malignant pleural effusions (MPEs) were obtained from lung cancer patients. Blood was obtained from healthy volunteers and lung cancer patients with anti-PD-1 therapy. Furthermore, p53fl/flLSL-KrasG12D, Ccr7-/-, Cd93-/- mice and CD11c-DTR mice were generated. Specifically, EM, NTA and western blotting were utilized to identify Tumor extracellular vesicles (TEVs). EV labeling, detection of EV uptake in vitro and in vivo, degradation of EV proteins and RNAs were performed to detect the role of TEVs in tumor progression. Pleural mesothelial cells (pMCs) were isolated to investigate related signaling pathways. Recombinant proteins and antibodies were generated to test which antibody was the most effective one to increase CCL21a in p-pMCs. RNA-Seq, MiRNA array, luciferase reporter assay, endothelial tube formation assay, protein labeling and detection, transfection of siRNAs and the miRNA mimic and inhibitor, chemotaxis assay, immunohistochemical staining, flow cytometry, Real-time PCR, and ELISA experiments were performed. Results: We show that CD93 of pMCs reduced lung tumor migration of dendritic cells by preventing pMCs from secreting CCL21, thereby suppressing systemic anti-lung tumor T-cell responses. TEV-derived miR-5110 promotes CCL21 secretion by downregulating pMC CD93, whereas C1q, increasing in tumor individuals, suppresses CD93-mediated CCL21 secretion. CD93-blocking antibodies (anti-CD93) inhibit lung tumor growth better than VEGF receptor-blocking antibodies because anti-CD93 inhibit tumor angiogenesis and promote CCL21 secretion from pMCs. Anti-CD93 also overcome lung tumor resistance to anti-PD-1 therapy. Furthermore, lung cancer patients with higher serum EV-derived miR-5193 (human miR-5110 homolog) are more sensitive to anti-PD-1 therapy, while patients with higher serum C1q are less sensitive, consistent with their regulatory functions on CD93. Conclusions: Our study identifies a crucial role of CD93 in controlling anti-lung tumor immunity and suggests a promising approach for lung tumor therapy.

PURPOSE: The current National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines recommend afatinib or osimertinib as the preferred first-line treatment strategy for patients with advanced NSCLC harboring EGFR p.G719X mutation. However, in the absence of head-to-head trials comparing afatinib with osimertinib in EGFR p.G719X-mutant patients, it is unclear which regimen is the preferred treatment option. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: A large cohort of 4,228 treatment-naïve patients with lung cancer who underwent targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) testing was screened for EGFR p.G719X mutation. A multicenter cohort involving 68 EGFR p.G719X-mutant patients with advanced NSCLC and NGS profiling was retrospectively enrolled to evaluate clinical responses to afatinib (n = 37) and the third-generation EGFR-TKIs (n = 31). Ba/F3 cells stably expressing the EGFR p.G719A mutation were created to investigate the response to EGFR-TKIs in vitro. RESULTS: Concurrent EGFR p.E709X mutations, being the most frequent co-occurring EGFR mutation in EGFR p.G719X-mutant NSCLC (â¼30%), exerted a detrimental effect on outcomes in patients treated with third-generation EGFR-TKI [G719X/E709X vs. G719X; objective response rate (ORR): 0.00% vs. 47.62%, P < 0.001; mPFS: 7.18 vs. 14.2 months, P = 0.04, respectively]. Conversely, no significant difference was found in the treatment efficacy of afatinib between EGFR p.G719X/E709X and EGFR p.G719X patients (G719X/E709X vs. G719X; ORR: 71.43% vs. 56.67%, P = 0.99; mPFS: 14.7 vs. 15.8 months, P = 0.69, respectively). In vitro experiments elucidated a resistant drug sensitivity and poor inhibition of EGFR phosphorylation in Ba/F3 cells expressing EGFR p.G719A/E709K mutation upon the third-generation EGFR-TKI treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Co-occurring EGFR p.E709X mutation mediated primary resistance to the third-generation EGFR-TKIs in EGFR p.G719X-mutant patients but remained sensitive to afatinib. A personalized treatment strategy should be undertaken based on the coexisting EGFR p.E709X mutation status.

BACKGROUND: Garsorasib (D-1553; InventisBio, Shangai, China), a potent KRASG12C inhibitor, has shown promising antitumour activity in patients with KRASG12C-mutated (ie, Gly12Cys) non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in a phase 1 study. We report results from a phase 2 study conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of garsorasib in patients with locally advanced or metastatic KRASG12C-mutated NSCLC. METHODS: This open-label, multicentre, single-arm, phase 2 trial enrolled adult patients with KRASG12C-mutated NSCLC who had previously been treated with platinum-based chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors from 43 hospitals in China. Participants received 600 mg garsorasib orally twice per day. Tumour assessments were performed at baseline, at the end of every two cycles (of 21 days) for the first eight cycles, and at the end of every three cycles thereafter. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) as assessed by an independent review committee (IRC) following the guidelines in Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours, version 1.1. Efficacy and safety were assessed in all patients who received at least one dose of garsorasib. This trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT05383898, and is active but no longer recruiting. FINDINGS: From June 17, 2022, to May 17, 2023, of 225 patients screened for eligibility, 123 patients were enrolled and treated with garsorasib. Of these 123 participants, the median age was 64 years (IQR 59-68), 108 (88%) were male and 15 (12%) were female. At data cutoff (Nov 17, 2023), the median follow-up duration was 7·9 months (IQR 6·3-10·4), and 82 (67%) of 123 patients had discontinued treatment. The IRC-confirmed ORR was 50% (61 of 123 patients; 95% CI 41-59). 117 (95%) of 123 patients reported treatment-related adverse events, with 61 (50%) experiencing grade 3 or higher events. The most common types of adverse events of grade 3 or higher associated with garsorasib were hepatic and gastrointestinal events, including increased liver enzymes, such as aspartate aminotransferase (21 [17%] of 123 participants), alanine aminotransferase (19 [15%] of 123 participants), and gamma-glutamyltransferase (28 [23%] of 123 participants); nausea (2 [2%] of 123 participants); and vomiting (2 [2%] of 123 participants). No new safety signals were identified, and most of the adverse events were well managed. INTERPRETATION: The results show that garsorasib has a high response rate, long duration of response, and an acceptable and manageable safety profile in patients with previously treated KRASG12C-mutated NSCLC. Garsorasib potentially provides a promising treatment option for this patient population. FUNDING: InventisBio.

Background: Tumor necrosis (TN) is a common feature in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), which could provide useful predictive and prognostic information. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effect of pretreatment pulmonary TN (PTN) on the prognosis of first-line anti-programmed cell death 1 (PD-1)/PD ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitor in advanced LSCC. Design: We conducted a retrospective study to analyze the association between the presence of PTN and clinical outcomes in advanced LSCC patients treated with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. Methods: Data from 240 eligible patients were collected from 27 hospitals across China between 2016 and 2020. The presence of PTN was assessed using contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography (CT) imaging at baseline. We utilized the Cox proportional-hazards regression model to analyze the association between PTN and clinical outcomes. In addition, to account for potential confounding factors and ensure comparability between groups, we employed propensity score-matching (PSM) analysis. Results: In the overall patient cohort, the presence of PTN was 39.6%. The median follow-up duration was 20.3 months. The positive PTN group exhibited a notably inferior median progression-free survival (PFS; 6.5 months vs 8.6 months, p = 0.012) compared to the negative PTN group. Within the Cox proportional-hazards regression model, PTN emerged as an independent predictor of unfavorable PFS (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.354, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.002-1.830, p = 0.049). After PSM, the median PFS for the positive PTN group (6.5 months vs 8.0 months, p = 0.027) remained worse than that of the negative PTN group. Multivariate analyses also further underscored that the presence of PTN independently posed a risk for shorter PFS (HR = 1.494, 95% CI: 1.056-2.112, p = 0.023). However, no statistically significant difference in overall survival was observed between the two groups. Conclusion: Our study suggests that the presence of PTN on baseline contrast-enhanced chest CT is a potential negative prognostic imaging biomarker for the outcome of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor therapy in advanced LSCC. Further studies are warranted to validate these findings and explore the underlying mechanisms.
Predicting anti-PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor treatment outcomes: pulmonary tumor necrosis in lung squamous cell carcinoma Our study focused on lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) patients receiving first-line anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy. We explored the impact of a feature called pretreatment pulmonary tumor necrosis (PTN) on their prognosis. PTN was identified in 39.6% of patients using baseline chest CT scans. Results revealed that patients with PTN had a shorter time without disease progression (median PFS of 6.5 months compared to 8.6 months) and a higher risk of unfavorable outcomes. This suggests that PTN may serve as a negative prognostic imaging marker for anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy in advanced LSCC. Further research is needed to confirm and understand these findings better.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: The role of chemotherapy in treating advanced thymic carcinoma is unclear. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the efficacy of chemotherapy and the prognostic factors for patients with advanced thymic carcinoma. METHODS: A retrospective review of the medical records of 86 patients treated with chemotherapy for advanced thymic carcinoma was conducted between 2000 and 2012 at our institution. The clinical characteristics, chemotherapy regimens and prognostic factors were analyzed. Survival curves were plotted using the Kaplan-Meier method and the Cox proportional hazard model was used for multivariate analysis. RESULTS: Of the 86 patients, 56 were male and 30 were female. The median survival time was 24.5 months. For the first-line chemotherapy treatment, the objective response rate was 47.7% and the disease control rate was 80.2%. The median progression-free survival for all patients was 6.5 months for first-line chemotherapy. No significant differences in progression-free survival were observed among the different chemotherapy regimens. Multivariate analyses revealed that the prognostic factors for overall survival included performance status (p=0.043), histology grade (p=0.048), and liver metastasis (p=0.047). CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that there is no difference in efficacy between multiagent and doublet regimens. The prognosis of patients with advanced thymic carcinoma can be predicted based on histological grade, liver metastasis and performance status.
