RESUMO
Biliary tract cancer (BTC) is a highly aggressive malignancy with limited second-line therapy. We conducted this phase 2 trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of second-line nab-paclitaxel plus sintilimab in advanced BTC. Histologically confirmed advanced BTC patients with documented disease progression after first-line chemotherapy were enrolled. Subjects received nab-paclitaxel 125 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8 plus sintilimab 200 mg on day 1, administered every 3 weeks. The primary end point was the objective response rate (ORR). The secondary end points were progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and adverse reactions. Simultaneously, next-generation sequencing, programmed cell death ligand 1 immunohistochemistry and multiplex immunofluorescence of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes were applied to explore potential biomarkers. Twenty-six subjects were consecutively enrolled. The ORR was 26.9% (7/26), including two complete responses and five partial responses, which met the primary end point. The disease control rate was 61.5% (16/26). The median PFS was 169 days (about 5.6 months, 95% confidence interval [CI] 60-278 days). The median OS was 442 days (about 14.7 months, 95% CI 298-586 days). Grade 3 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were mainly anemia (27%), leukopenia (23%), neutropenia (19%), and peripheral sensory neuropathy (8%). No grade 4 or 5 TRAEs occurred. Biomarker analysis suggested that positive PD-L1 and high proportions of CD8+ T-cell infiltration were correlated with improved clinical outcome. Nab-paclitaxel plus sintilimab is a potentially effective and tolerable second-line regimen for advanced BTC that deserves to be studied in large-scale trials. PD-L1 status and CD8+ T cell infiltration might be promising biomarkers for efficacy prediction.

Lymphoma and leukemia are both hematological system tumors with complex etiology, and mainly treated with chemotherapeutic drugs. However, therapeutic drugs can interrupt curative effect due to different side effects. Therefore, it is worthwhile to develop a novel therapeutic for providing insights for clinical tumor treatment. In this study, we developed a fisetin nanoparticles (Fisetin NPs) through a self-assembled method, and investigated the activity and potential mechanism of Fisetin NPs against lymphoma and leukemia. The spherical and uniformly distributed Fisetin NPs effectively inhibited both tumor cells proliferation, arrested EL4 cells G0/G1 phase and K562 cells G2/M phase, and induced apoptosis in vitro. In vivo, Fisetin NPs exhibited excellent tumor growth inhibition, effective inhibition of cell proliferation and angiogenesis, significant induction of apoptosis and ideal safety. Mechanically, fisetin upregulated genes (Fas, Pidd, Puma, Apaf1, and p21) in the p53 signaling pathway and bound to N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10), ribosomal protein L34 (RPL34) and GTP binding protein 4 (GTPBP4). Collectively, Fisetin NPs have promising therapeutic effects on lymphoma and leukemia, which are of great significant for clinical implications.

INTRODUCTION: Accurate baseline clinical staging is critical to inform treatment decision-making for patients with gastric cancers. Peritoneal metastasis (PM) is the most common form of metastasis in gastric cancer and mainly diagnosed by diagnostic laparoscopy and peritoneal lavage evaluation. However, diagnostic laparoscopy is invasive and less cost-effective. It is urgent to develop a safe, fast and non-invasive functional imaging method to verify the peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer. The aim of our study was to evaluate the proportion of patients in whom 68Ga-FAPI-04 positron emission tomography/CT (PET/CT) led to a change in treatment strategy and to assess the diagnostic accuracy of 68Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT for the detection of occult peritoneal metastasis compared with laparoscopic exploration. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: In this single-centre, prospective diagnostic test accuracy study, a total of 48 patients with locally advanced gastric or gastro-oesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (cT4a-b, N0-3, M0, based on CT images) who are considering radical tumour surgery will be recruited. All participants will undergo 68Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT before the initiation of laparoscopic exploration. The primary outcome is the proportion of patients with occult peritoneal metastatic lesions detected by 68Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT, leading to a change in therapy strategy. The secondary outcomes include the diagnostic performance of 68Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT for occult peritoneal metastasis, including sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of West China Hospital, Sichuan University (2022-1484). Study results will be presented at public and scientific conferences and in peer-reviewed journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ChiCTR2300067591.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to explore the dynamic changes of genomic mutations and their correlations with the efficacy in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients treated with cetuximab plus mFOLFOX as the first-line treatment. METHODS: We included mCRC patients from January 2018 to October 2020 as a studied cohort which were treated with cetuximab plus mFOLFOX as first line therapy. Blood samples were collected for circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) test at three timepoints: before the first-line therapy(baseline), at the time of first-line progression and at the time of second-line progression. Progression-free survival was considered as the primary endpoint while objective response rate and overall survival were determined as the secondary endpoints. RESULTS: Totally 39 patients received first-line treatment, of which 25 patients entered the second-line treatment, while 10 patients entered the third-line treatment. The median follow-up time was 16.4 months (95 %CI, 14.8-19.3). Along the treatment from first-line progress disease (PD) to second-line PD, proportions of TP53 (12/18, 67 %), APC (10/18, 56 %), FBXW7 (3/18, 17 %), and AMER1 (2/18, 11 %) were gradually increased according to results of single nucleotide variation (SNV). CONCLUSIONS: Resistant gene mutations caused by anti-EGFR drugs in RAS/BRAF wild-type mCRC patients can be observed by dynamic ctDNA analysis. TP53 and AMER1 mutations, tumor mutational burden (TMB) levels, and TP53/AMER1 co-mutation may predict the efficacy of the first-line cetuximab-contained treatment. Situations of genetic mutations were differentiated from first-line PD to second-line PD, which indicated that mutation detection may contribute to predict prognosis of mCRC patients.
