Front Oncol 2022; 12:993182. [PMID: 36505778 PMCID: PMC9731101 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.993182] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2022] [Accepted: 10/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective To perform a meta-analysis of the efficacy and safety about 177Lu-DOTATATE therapy for advanced/metastatic pNETs based on the current clinical evidence. Methods This systematic review follows the PRISMA guideline. Search PubMed, Medline, EMBASE and CNKI, VIP, Wanfang databases, from establishment to June 2022, on the study of 177Lu-DOTATATE for advanced/metastatic pNETs, the primary endpoint was to evaluate the treatment effect through DRRs and DCRs. Secondary endpoint included assessment of OS, PFS, and treatment-related adverse events across all studies. Two researchers conducted literature screening, data extraction and quality evaluation according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Meta-analysis was performed using stata16.0 software, and the data were merged and displayed using forest graphs. Results A total of 5 studies, 174 patients, on 177Lu-DOTATATE for advanced/metastatic pNETs were included. The pools of DRRs and DCRs were 24% (95% CI: 15%~32%) and 77% (95% CI: 62%~92%), respectively. The pool of OS was 48.78 months (95% CI: 41~56.57 months) and the pool of PFS was 21.59 months (95% CI: 17.65~25.53 months). In all studies, the most common side effect of treatment was hematological toxicity. In 174 patients, hematological toxicity of grade III accounted for 4.0% (7/174), and only 4.0% (7/174) and 1.0% (2/174) of patients had mild nephrotoxicity and hepatotoxicity. Gastrointestinal adverse reactions in 3% (6/174), nausea in 2% (3/174), superior vena cava occlusion in 0.5% (1/174). Conclusion 177Lu-DOTATATE is effective and safe for advanced/metastatic pNETs, which can delay the progression of the disease, may improve patients' survival, and has low treatment-related toxicity and high safety. However, its efficacy and safety need to be further evaluated in high-quality, multicenter randomized controlled trials in the future.

Combination of Bone-Modifying Agents with Immunotarget Therapy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma with Bone Metastases. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11236901. [PMID: 36498476 PMCID: PMC9738198 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11236901] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2022] [Revised: 11/16/2022] [Accepted: 11/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Due to limited investigations about efficacy of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) plus immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) versus TKIs alone, and effects of durations of bone modifying agents (BMAs) on the survival of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and bone metastases (BoM), we aim to compare the efficacy of TKIs both alone and in combination with ICIs, as well as comparing long-term and no or perioperative use of BMAs for patients with HCC and BoM. Patients with pathologically confirmed HCC and BoM were included in the study. They were stratified into the TKIs group and the TKIs + ICIs group, and the perioperative and the long-term use of BMAs group. Overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), and disease control rate (DCR) were calculated to assess the response to these regimes. The cumulative risk of initial skeletal-related events (SREs) was used to evaluate treatment efficacy for bone lesions. A total of 21 (33.9%) patients received TKIs (Sorafenib or Lenvatinib) alone and 41 (66.1%) received TKIs + ICIs. The combination group showed higher ORR than monotherapy group (1/21, 4.7% vs. 9/41, 22.0%; p = 0.1432); Additionally, the TKIs + ICIs group offered improved OS (18 months vs. 31 months; p = 0.015) and PFS (10 months vs. 23 months; p = 0.014), while this survival benefits were more profound in virus-infected patients than those non-infected. Prolonged OS (33 months vs. 16 months; p = 0.0048) and PFS (33 months vs. 11 months; p = 0.0027) were observed in patients with long-term use of BMAs compared with no or perioperative use of BMAs. The TKIs + ICIs combination and long-term adjuvant of BMAs may offer a survival advantage for HCC patients with BoM without severe adverse events, which requires further validations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The therapeutic efficacy of cytotoxic anticancer drugs has been reported to be enhanced after immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in non-small cell lung cancer; however, it is unclear whether the same is applicable for small cell lung cancer (SCLC). We evaluated the efficacy of second-line amrubicin (AMR) following first-line platinum-based chemotherapy and ICI combination therapy (chemo-ICI) in SCLC. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively enrolled consecutive patients with SCLC treated with AMR as a second-line following chemo-ICI as first-line between July 2019 and April 2021 from 16 institutions throughout Japan. We investigated the therapeutic effectiveness, safety, and efficacy-enhancing variables of AMR. RESULTS Overall, 89 patients treated with AMR after first-line chemo-ICI were analyzed. The overall response rate (ORR) was 29.2% (95% confidence intervals [CI], 20.1-39.8) and median PFS (m PFS) was 2.99 months (95% CI, 2.27-3.65). Patients who relapsed more than 90 days after receiving first-line platinum combination therapy (sensitive relapse) exhibited greater ORR (58.3% vs. 24.7%, p = 0.035) and m PFS (5.03 vs. 2.56 months, p = 0.019) than patients who relapsed in <90 days (refractory relapse). Grade 3 or higher adverse events were mainly hematological toxicity. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggested that the therapeutic effect of AMR was not enhanced after ICI on SCLC. However, AMR may be effective in cases of sensitive relapse after chemo-ICI. There was no increase in severe toxicity associated with AMR after ICI.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) are two entities closely linked together. DM has been described as a risk factor for the development of pNETs and for the aggressiveness of the disease. On the other hand, DM due to pNETs is frequently undiagnosed or misclassified as type 2 DM when it is due to type 3 DM. In addition, metformin, a commonly prescribed drug for type 2 DM, has an antiproliferative property and is gaining increasing attention as an antitumor agent. This review article presents the findings published in the last few years on pNETs and DMs. Emphasis will be placed on DM as a risk factor, pNET as a risk factor for the development of type 3 DM, the management of type 3 DM on pNET, and DM as a prognostic factor in patients with pNET, as well as the future clinical implications of DM in these patients. The coexistence of DM and pNET is extensively presented. It is important to perform future clinical trials, which are necessary to establish the role of metformin on pNET disease. Increasing awareness among professionals managing pNET on the importance of a correct DM diagnosis and management of the disease must be a priority due to the implications on mortality and comorbidities it may have in these patients.

Abstract
Oral ulcers caused by herpes zoster virus infection are commonly encountered in daily clinical practice. However, in rare cases, sepsis or viremia can occur with serious outcomes; hence, these must be managed effectively. Here, we report a case of a patient with extensive ulceration caused by varicella zoster virus infection. Antiviral treatment was started early, and oral health management was started simultaneously, with oral hygiene instructions for pain control. As a result, the patient was able to resume oral food intake and was discharged from the hospital within a week. This case suggested that oral health management comprising supportive care, with the assistance of dentists and dental hygienists, as well as antiviral therapy, are important in the treatment of oral ulcers associated with herpes zoster virus infection.

Abstract
Colonic diverticular bleeding (CDB) is the most frequent cause of acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) for CDB as first-line treatment with extravasation on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT), compared with endoscopic hemostasis. Three Japanese institutions participated in this retrospective cohort study. Data from consecutive patients admitted with a diagnosis of CDB with extravasation on CECT were reviewed. One hospital performed TAE and the others conducted urgent colonoscopy (CS) as the first-line treatment for CDB with extravasation on CECT. The primary outcome was rebleeding rate within 30 days after first-line treatment. In total, 165 CDB cases with extravasation on CECT (TAE group, n = 39; CS group, n = 126) were analyzed in this study. The rebleeding rate within 30 days was significantly lower in the TAE group (7.69%) than in the CS group (23.02%; P = .038). The bleeding point detection rate was significantly higher in the TAE group (89.74%, 35/39) than in the CS group (37.30%, 47/126; P < .0001). Even in those cases in which a bleeding point was detected, the rebleeding rate was significantly lower in the TAE group (0%) than in the endoscopic hemostasis-success group (23.91%; P = .005). No severe complications of Grade 3 or more were seen with TAE. We showed that TAE is an effective, safe hemostatic method, and a useful alternative to endoscopic hemostasis for first-line treatment of CDB.

Abstract
Objectives The aim of this study is to gain experienced nursing perspective on current and future complication reporting and grading in Urology, establish the CAMUS CCI and quality control the use of the Clavien-Dindo Classification (CDC) in nursing staff. Subjects and Methods The 12-part REDCap-based Delphi survey was developed in conjunction with expert nurse, urologist and methodologist input. Certified local and international inpatient and outpatient nurses specialised in urology, perioperative nurses and urology-specific advanced practice nurses/nurse practitioners will be included. A minimum sample size of 250 participants is targeted. The survey assesses participant demographics, nursing experience and opinion on complication reporting and the proposed CAMUS reporting recommendations; grading of intervention events using the existing CDC and the proposed CAMUS Classification; and rating various clinical scenarios. Consensus will be defined as ≥75% agreement. If consensus is not reached, subsequent Delphi rounds will be performed under Steering Committee guidance. Results Twenty participants completed the pilot survey. Median survey completion time was 58 min (IQR 40-67). The survey revealed that 85% of nursing participants believe nurses should be involved in future complication reporting and grading but currently have poor confidence and inadequate relevant background education. Overall, 100% of participants recognise the universal demand for reporting consensus and 75% hold a preference towards the CAMUS System. Limitations include variability in nursing experience, complexity of supplemental grades and survey duration. Conclusion The integration of experienced nursing opinion and participation in complication reporting and grading systems in a modern and evolving hospital infrastructure may facilitate the assimilation of otherwise overlooked safety data. Incorporation of focused teaching into routine nursing education will be essential to ensure quality control and stimulate awareness of complication-related burden. This, in turn, has the potential to improve patient counselling and quality of care.

Induction chemotherapy regimen of docetaxel plus cisplatin versus docetaxel, cisplatin plus fluorouracil followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy in locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma: Preliminary results of an open-label, noninferiority, multicentre, randomised, controlled phase 3 trial. EClinicalMedicine 2022; 53:101625. [PMID: 36060517 PMCID: PMC9433608 DOI: 10.1016/j.eclinm.2022.101625] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2022] [Revised: 08/01/2022] [Accepted: 08/08/2022] [Indexed: 12/09/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Induction chemotherapy regimens of docetaxel and cisplatin plus fluorouracil (TPF) are currently clinically used for patients with locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LA-NPC) but have well-known side effects, such as myelosuppression and diarrhea. A docetaxel plus cisplatin (TP) regimen was developed to decrease the toxic effects induced by fluorouracil. In this trial, we assessed whether the TP induction chemotherapy regimen was noninferior to the TPF regimen. METHODS We performed an open-label, noninferiority, phase 3, multicentre, randomised, controlled trial at six centres in China. Eligible patients with NPC (stage III-IVA (excluding T3-4N0), Karnofsky's Performance Scoring ≥70) were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either TP (docetaxel (75 mg per square meter, d1, intravenous infusion) and cisplatin (75 mg per square meter of body-surface area, d1, intravenous infusion)) or TPF (docetaxel (60 mg per square meter, d1, intravenous infusion) plus cisplatin (60 mg per square meter, d1, intravenous infusion) and 5-fluorouracil (600 mg per square meter, d1-d5, intravenous 120-hour infusion)) administered every 3 weeks for 3 cycles followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy. The primary endpoint was failure-free survival at 2 years. Secondary endpoints included overall survival, safety, and treatment compliance. The trial was stopped early because of strong evidence for noninferiority (margin was -10%) of TP in failure-free survival. Efficacy analyses were performed in both the intention-to-treat and per-protocol trial populations and we included the patients who started treatment in each group for the safety analysis. The study was registered with chictr.org.cn, ChiCTR1800016337. FINDINGS Between June 1, 2018 and October 31, 2021, we randomly assigned 361 patients to the TP (n = 181) or TPF (n = 180) induction chemotherapy group. The 2-year failure-free survival was 91·3% (95% CI 86·2-96·4) in the TP group and 82·4% (84·8-88·9) in the TPF group (P = 0·029). Patients in the TPF group had a higher frequency of grade 1 or 2 neutropenia (53 (30·0%) vs. 28 (15·7%); P = 0·0010), grade 1 or 2 diarrhea (20 (11·3%) vs. 9 (5·1%); P = 0·032), and grade 3 or 4 neutropenia (43 (24·3%) vs. 25 (14·0%); P = 0·014) in the induction chemotherapy period. There was no treatment-related death. INTERPRETATION The preliminary results revealed that TP induction chemotherapy regimen was found to be clearly non-inferior compared to the TPF regimen in failure-free survival, with a lower frequency of neutropenia, anaemia and diarrhoea. The more convenient and beneficial survival regimen of the TP regimen should be recommended in patients with LA-NPC.

The Added Value of [18F]Choline PET/CT in Low-Risk Prostate Cancer Staging: A Case Report. Life (Basel) 2022; 12:life12111728. [DOI: 10.3390/life12111728] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2022] [Revised: 10/20/2022] [Accepted: 10/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
In the management of prostate cancer (PCa), correct staging is crucial in order to assess the right therapeutic approach. [18F]Choline PET/CT has been shown to provide more accurate staging information than conventional imaging approaches. The aim of this paper is to provide a real practice demonstration of the impact of [18F]Choline PET/CT on low-risk prostate cancer staging and clinical management. We report a 64-year-old man with biochemical PCa recurrence diagnosis after transurethral resection of the prostate. The patient, after the detection of an increased level of PSA, underwent multi-parametric prostate magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) that did not show evidence of disease. The patient was admitted to perform [18F]Choline PET/CT that showed a macroscopic prostate recurrence. Patient underwent photon external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) treatment, and [18F]Choline PET/CT was also used to define treatment volumes. At 3- and 6-month clinical follow-up evaluations, no late toxicity was detected and a significant reduction in PSA value was shown. Therefore, our case highlights the potential usefulness of [18F]Choline PET/CT for the staging of low-risk prostate cancer and its impact on the management and quality of life of such patients. The presented case should urge the scientific community to enhance larger and multicentric studies, assessing more extensively the potential impact of [18F]Choline PET/CT in this clinical scenario.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effectiveness and safety of the VA regimen, which combines venetoclax with azacitidine in the treatment of patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are not suitable candidates for conventional chemotherapy. Methods: In the Department of Hematology at the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University, 66 AML patients who received venetoclax and azacitidine treatment from May 2020 to March 2022 were the subject of a retrospective study. The complete remission (CR) rate, cCR rate, ORR rate, MRD negative rate, the incidence of adverse events,1-year EFS, and OS were retrospectively analyzed. Patients subgroups with varying ages, ECOG scores, primary and secondary, risk stratifications, and gene mutation were compared for differences in efficacy and survival. Results: The median follow-up was 4.25 (0.9-19.9) months, and the median number of treatment courses was 2 (1-8) cycles. After the first cycle, the cCR rate was 78.8% , and the MRD negative rate was 51.9% . After prolonged treatment, the cCR rate was 81.8% and MRD negative rate was 66.7% . The median EFS and OS, respectively, were13.2 and 15.3 months. Secondary AML showed inferior efficacy and prognosis. IDH1/2 or NPM1 mutation groups had a significantly higher rate of CR than the control group (P<0.05) . The CR rate and MRD negative rate of patients with rebound thrombocytosis were significantly higher than those without rebound thrombocytosis (P<0.05) . Those who had epigenetic modification mutations (DNMT3, ASXL1, TET2) were more likely to benefit from ongoing therapy. The most common grade 3 and 4 adverse reactions were neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and anemia. Conclusions: In real-world patients with newly diagnosed AML who are not candidates for standard chemotherapy, the VA regimen produces rapid deep remission. Primary AML patients, rebound thrombocytosis, IDH1/2, and NPM1 gene mutations are favorable factors for treatment benefit, and adverse reactions were tolerable.

Neoadjuvant sintilimab and chemotherapy in patients with resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: A prospective, single-arm, phase 2 trial. Front Immunol 2022; 13:1031171. [PMID: 36311804 PMCID: PMC9606329 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.1031171] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2022] [Accepted: 09/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Immunotherapy (Programmed cell death 1 blockade) has entered the ranks of advanced esophageal cancer first-line treatment; however, little is known about the efficacy of PD-1 inhibitor as neoadjuvant therapy in resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). We aim to evaluate the activity and safety of the neoadjuvant sintilimab combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of resectable thoracic ESCC. Methods The enrolled patients with resectable (clinical stage II to IVA) ESCC received neoadjuvant sintilimab injection (200 mg/time, day 1), paclitaxel liposomes (135 mg/m2, day 1), and carboplatin (area under curve of 5 mg/mL/min, day 1) every 21 days for 2 cycles, and esophagectomy was performed within 3-6 weeks after the 2 cycles of treatment. The primary endpoint of the study was the pathological complete response (PCR) rate. Results From July 2019 to March 2021, a total of 47 patients were enrolled, of which 33 patients (70.2%) had clinical stage III disease. All patients completed the full two-cycle treatment and forty-five patients received radical surgery, including 44 (97.8%) R0 resections. Ten (22.2%) of 45 patients had a PCR, and the major pathological response (MPR) rate was 44.4% (20/45). The grade 3–4 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were mainly neutropenia (6 of 47,12.8%) and leucopenia (8 of 47,17.0%). One (2.1%) patient occurred postoperative immune-associated encephalitis. No delays in surgery were observed. Conclusions sintilimab combined with paclitaxel liposome and carboplatin, as demonstrated in this phase II trial to exhibit a relatively high PCR rate and acceptable safety, warrants additional investigation in resectable ESCC.

Atezolizumab plus bevacizumab versus lenvatinib or sorafenib in non-viral unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma: an international propensity score matching analysis. ESMO Open 2022; 7:100591. [PMID: 36208496 PMCID: PMC9808460 DOI: 10.1016/j.esmoop.2022.100591] [Citation(s) in RCA: 50] [Impact Index Per Article: 25.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2022] [Revised: 08/21/2022] [Accepted: 08/22/2022] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND A growing body of evidence suggests that non-viral hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) might benefit less from immunotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We carried out a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from consecutive patients with non-viral advanced HCC, treated with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab, lenvatinib, or sorafenib, in 36 centers in 4 countries (Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, and UK). The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS) with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab versus lenvatinib. Secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab versus lenvatinib, and OS and PFS with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab versus sorafenib. For the primary and secondary endpoints, we carried out the analysis on the whole population first, and then we divided the cohort into two groups: non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)/non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) population and non-NAFLD/NASH population. RESULTS One hundred and ninety patients received atezolizumab plus bevacizumab, 569 patients received lenvatinib, and 210 patients received sorafenib. In the whole population, multivariate analysis showed that treatment with lenvatinib was associated with a longer OS [hazard ratio (HR) 0.65; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.44-0.95; P = 0.0268] and PFS (HR 0.67; 95% CI 0.51-0.86; P = 0.002) compared to atezolizumab plus bevacizumab. In the NAFLD/NASH population, multivariate analysis confirmed that lenvatinib treatment was associated with a longer OS (HR 0.46; 95% CI 0.26-0.84; P = 0.0110) and PFS (HR 0.55; 95% CI 0.38-0.82; P = 0.031) compared to atezolizumab plus bevacizumab. In the subgroup of non-NAFLD/NASH patients, no difference in OS or PFS was observed between patients treated with lenvatinib and those treated with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab. All these results were confirmed following propensity score matching analysis. By comparing patients receiving atezolizumab plus bevacizumab versus sorafenib, no statistically significant difference in survival was observed. CONCLUSIONS The present analysis conducted on a large number of advanced non-viral HCC patients showed for the first time that treatment with lenvatinib is associated with a significant survival benefit compared to atezolizumab plus bevacizumab, in particular in patients with NAFLD/NASH-related HCC.

Investigation of the efficacy and safety of cryoablation and intra-arterial PD-1 inhibitor in patients with advanced disease not responding to checkpoint inhibitors: An exploratory study.

[PMID: 36211329 PMCID: PMC9537743 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.990224] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2022] [Accepted: 09/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective To explore the effectiveness of cryoablation combined with arterial perfusion with programmed cell death protein 1 inhibitors in overcoming immune resistance in advanced solid cancers. Methods In this pilot retrospective study, nine patients with solid cancers were treated with tumour cryoablation and arterial perfusion with programmed cell death protein 1 inhibitors, which had previously proven ineffective. The CIBERSORT software was used to estimate the levels of tumour-infiltrating immune cells in the challenged tumour. Changes in the levels of circulating T cells were assessed using flow cytometry. The primary endpoints were disease control and objective response rates, and the secondary endpoint was safety. Results The nine patients with advanced solid tumours received cryoablation combined with arterial perfusion with programmed cell death protein 1 inhibitors between June and December 2021. The median follow-up time was 5.8 months. We recorded an objective response rate in two patients (22.22%). The best overall responses were partial responses in two patients (22.22%) and one case (11.11%) of stable disease, while six patients (66.67%) presented progressive disease. However, the median overall survival time was not reached. The median progression-free survival was 2.4 months. Treatment-related severe adverse events included one case of abdominal infection and one case of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, which were cured after the intervention. The CIBERSORT software confirmed the importance of cryoablation in regulating tumour-infiltrating immune cells. Thus, macrophage polarisation from the M2 to the M1 phenotype in the challenged tumour and a gradual increase in the levels of circulating CD4+ T cells were observed after administration of the combination therapy. Conclusion Cryoablation combined with arterial perfusion with programmed cell death protein 1 inhibitors has the potential efficacy and safety to overcome immune resistance in patients with advanced solid cancers. The combination therapy leads to macrophage polarisation from the M2 to the M1 phenotype in the challenged tumour to enhance antitumour immunity.

Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitors are potential agents to improve the survival of advanced biliary tract cancers (ABTCs). The current results are controversial because the predictors are imprecise. We present our primary experience with ABTCs based on gene landscape with exciting outcomes. ABTCs who were admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Science and Technology from October 2019 to March 2021 were enrolled. They were divided into chemotherapy group or immunotherapy group according to the treatment. The primary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS), and the secondary endpoints were response and toxicities. SSPS 16.0 was used for statistical analysis. A total of 33 patients were enrolled, including 25 in the chemotherapy group and 8 in the immunotherapy group. The median OS and PFS of the chemotherapy group were 2 and 4 months, respectively. The estimated median OS and PFS of immunotherapy were 10 + and 10 + months, respectively. The differences of OS and PFS between the 2 groups were significant (P = .000; P = .003). Stratified analysis showed that these differences were mainly from those patients with high expression of PD-L1 > 10%. The difference in the overall response was significant between 2 groups (χ2 = 9.275; P = .026). The difference in adverse events between the 2 groups was not significant. Immune checkpoint inhibitors were effective and safe for ABTCs with high expression of PD-L1. The threshold should be precise.

Front Immunol 2022; 13:991431. [PMID: 36189277 PMCID: PMC9521490 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.991431] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2022] [Accepted: 08/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Radiotherapy may augment systemic antitumor responses to immunotherapy. We did a retrospective study to infer whether radiotherapy improves outcomes to immunotherapy in patients with stage III and IV non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods This retrospective study conducted at Enze Medical Center enrolled 259 patients with histopathology confirmed NSCLC from December 2018 to December 31, 2021. All were treated with Sintilimab, some patients received radiotherapy at an appropriate time point. Radiation type includes conventional radiotherapy and stereotactic body radiotherapy. The progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) were the primary endpoint. Results A retrospective analysis was performed on 259 patients, of whom 140 had been treated with immunotherapy lonely and 119 had been remedied with immunotherapy plus radiotherapy. Baseline variables were well balanced between the two groups, including gender, age, smoking status, TNM staging, number of metastases, ECOG score, pathological type and lines of previous systemic therapy. The median PFS in the immunotherapy alone group was 5.00 months (95%CI 4.38-5.62) versus immunotherapy plus radiotherapy was 9.00 months (5.95-12.05; p<0.001). The median OS in the immunotherapy alone group was 16.00 months (12.59-19.42) versus immunotherapy plus radiotherapy was 30.00 months (20.75-39.25; p=0.027). PFS was finer in the radiotherapy plus immunotherapy group than the immunotherapy group alone in both stage III(P=0.0069) and Stage IV(P=0.006) patients. In the univariate analysis, radiotherapy, male, ECOG=0 and <2 lines of previous systemic therapy were connected with an observably better PFS (P<0.001; P=0.03; P=0.002;P=0.021). In a multivariate analysis, radiotherapy, ECOG=0 and <2 lines of previous systemic therapy were independent prognostic factors with a markedly better PFS (P<0.001; P=0.006;P=0.009). An univariate analysis, radiotherapy, male, stage III, non-metastasis, ECOG=0 and squamous carcinoma were associated with a significantly better OS (P=0.032, P=0.036,P=0.002,P<0.001,P=0.002,P=0.025). A multivariate analysis, non-metastasis was a standalone prognostic indicator with a significantly better OS (P=0.006). However, radiotherapy was a tendency indicator with a better OS (HR0.70 95% CI 0.47-1.06). There were also no obvious increases in adverse events in the combination group. Conclusions Radiotherapy with addition of immunotherapy was observably linked to a better outcome in patients with III and IV staging NSCLC.

Clinical Study of Anti-PD-1 Immunotherapy Combined with Gemcitabine Chemotherapy in Multiline Treatment of Advanced Pancreatic Cancer. COMPUTATIONAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN MEDICINE 2022; 2022:4070060. [PMID: 36110574 PMCID: PMC9470333 DOI: 10.1155/2022/4070060] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2022] [Revised: 07/13/2022] [Accepted: 08/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022]
Abstract
Objective This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of anti-PD-1 immunotherapy combined with gemcitabine chemotherapy in multiline treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 32 patients with advanced pancreatic cancer treated with sintilimab regimen from January 2019 to December 2021 in our hospital. All patients were followed up until death or April 2022, in the form of outpatient, in-hospital review, or telephone follow-up. Follow-up content included routine blood, liver and kidney functions, tumor markers, plain or enhanced abdominal CT, and abdominal MRI examinations. Clinical efficacy was evaluated according to mRECIST criteria, and the severity of adverse effects was evaluated according to American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) Standard Term for Adverse Events, Version 5.0. Results During treatment, the dosage of sintilimab was halved in 2 patients due to adverse reactions. All patients were treated with sintilimab for 1~10 times, with an average of 6 ± 4 times. The total response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) were 6.25% and 12.50% and 25.00% and 37.50%, respectively, after 1 and 3 months of treatment. The mean follow-up time of 32 patients was 1-12 months, and the median follow-up time was 4 ± 3 months. By the end point of follow-up, a total of 25 patients died, and the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 3.8 (95% CI (1.85-5.63)) months. The median overall survival (OS) was 5.1 months (95% CI (3.63~7.68). After treatment, the levels of tumor markers CA125, CEA and CA199 were partly decreased compared with those before treatment (all P < 0.001). After treatment, the blood routine indexes d-dimer, CRP (C-reactive protein), NLR (neutral granulocyte to lymphocyte ratio), and MLR (monocyte to lymphocyte ratio) decreased compared with those before treatment. In 32 patients with advanced pancreatic cancer, the adverse reactions with an incidence more than 10% included fatigue, rash, hypothyroidism, hyperuricemia, and renal insufficiency. Only 2 patients showed grade 3 fatigue symptom, and all the others showed no adverse reactions of grades 3~5. In this study, all patients' adverse reactions were relieved after symptomatic treatment. Conclusion Gemcitabine chemotherapy in multiline treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer with sintilimab can achieve certain clinical benefits without serious adverse reactions.

Association between Adverse Events and Prognosis in Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma Treated with Atezolizumab Plus Bevacizumab: A Multicenter Retrospective Study. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14174284. [PMID: 36077816 PMCID: PMC9454839 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14174284] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2022] [Revised: 08/27/2022] [Accepted: 08/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between adverse events (AEs) and overall survival (OS) in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma treated with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab (atezo/beva). This was a multicenter study in which 130 patients were enrolled. Hypertension and skin disorders had a significant correlation with longer survival (median survival time (MST): not reached vs. 14.3 months and not reached vs. 14.8 months, p = 0.001 and p = 0.047, respectively). In contrast, liver injuries were significantly correlated with shorter survival (MST: 14.7 months vs. not reached, p = 0.036), and the median development time was 21 days. In a logistic regression analysis, fatigue ≥ grade 2, liver injury ≥ grade 3, and modified albumin–bilirubin grade 2b were identified as independent factors for discontinuation due to AEs. The OS in the no discontinuation due to AE group was significantly longer than that in the discontinuation due to AEs group (MST not reached vs. 11.2 months, p = 0.001). We concluded that the development of liver injury was a negative factor for OS and that we should be vigilant in monitoring AE during atezo/beva treatments.

Protocol for CAMUS Delphi Study: A Consensus on Comprehensive Reporting and Grading of Complications After Urological Surgery. Eur Urol Focus 2022; 8:1493-1511. [PMID: 35221259 DOI: 10.1016/j.euf.2022.01.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2021] [Revised: 01/09/2022] [Accepted: 01/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Reproducible assessment of postoperative complications is essential for reliable evaluation of quality of care to enable comparison between healthcare centres and ensure transparent patient counselling. Currently, significant discrepancies exist in complication reporting and grading due to heterogeneous definitions and methodologies. OBJECTIVE To develop a standardised and reproducible assessment of perioperative complications and overall associated morbidity, to allow for the construction of a uniform language for complication reporting and grading. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS The 12-part REDCap-based Delphi survey was developed in conjunction with methodologist review and experienced urologist opinion. International urologists, anaesthetists, and intensive care unit specialists will be included. A minimum sample size of 750 participants (500 urologists and 250 critical care specialities) is targeted. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS The survey assesses participant demographics, opinion on complication reporting and the proposed Complications After Major & Minor Urological Surgery (CAMUS) reporting recommendations, grading of intervention events using the existing Clavien-Dindo classification and the proposed CAMUS classification, and rating of various clinical scenarios. Consensus will be defined as ≥75% majority agreement. If consensus is not reached, then subsequent Delphi rounds will be performed under steering committee guidance. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS Twenty-one participants completed the draft survey. The median survey completion time was 128 min (interquartile range 88-135). The survey revealed that 90% of participants believe that the current complication classification systems are useful but inaccurate, while 100% of participants believe that there is a universal demand for reporting consensus. Several amendments were made following feedback. Limitations include complexity of the proposed supplemental grades and time to completion of the survey. CONCLUSIONS To ensure comprehensive and comparable complication reporting and grading across centres worldwide, a conclusive uniform language for complication reporting must be created. We intend to address shortcomings of the current complication reporting and classification systems with a new CAMUS classification system developed through multidisciplinary expert consensus obtained through a Delphi survey. Ultimately, standardisation of urological complication reporting and grading may improve patient counselling and quality of care. PATIENT SUMMARY The reporting and grading of operative complications that occur during or after an operation and associated costs provide a means to stratify quality of patient care. Current complication reporting and classification systems are not standardised and somewhat inaccurate, and thus significantly underestimate patient morbidity and surgical risk. This Delphi survey will provide the basis for the creation of a uniform complication reporting and grading system. Our new system may allow improved reporting and grading between centres, and ultimately improve patient counselling and care.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of sintilimab combined with apatinib plus capecitabine in the treatment of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) to provide a more effective first-line treatment for patients with advanced HCC. Methods This open-label, prospective, phase II study included patients with unresectable HCC who did not receive systematic treatment. The patients were treated with sintilimab (200 mg, intravenous drip, once every 3 weeks) combined with apatinib (250 mg, oral administration, once a day) plus capecitabine (1000 mg/m2, twice a day; after 2 weeks of oral administration, the drug was stopped for 1 week; course of treatment, 3 weeks). The primary endpoint was the objective response rate (ORR). The secondary endpoints included disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), duration of response (DoR), overall survival (OS), and safety. Results Forty-seven patients (1 lost to follow-up) were enrolled in the study. As of March 1, 2022, the ORR and DCR were 50.0% (95% CI: 34.9–65.1%) and 91.3% (95% CI: 79.2–97.6%), respectively, after blind, independent imaging evaluation. The median follow-up time was 18.7 months (95% CI: 17.2–20.2 months). The median PFS was 9.0 months (95% CI: 7.1–10.9 months). The median DoR was 10.8 months (95% CI: 4.8–16.8 months). The median OS was not reached, and the 1-year OS rate was 71.7% (95% CI: 56.5–84.0%). Only 28.3% (13/46) of patients had grade 3/4 treatment-related adverse events. Conclusion Sintilimab combined with apatinib plus capecitabine has good safety and anti-tumor activity as a first-line treatment for unresectable HCC. This is worthy of further multi-center, prospective, randomized, large-sample clinical studies. Clinical Trial Registration https://ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier NCT04411706.

Management of Patients with Newly Diagnosed Desmoid Tumors in a First-Line Setting. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14163907. [PMID: 36010900 PMCID: PMC9405618 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14163907] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2022] [Revised: 08/09/2022] [Accepted: 08/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The initial management of desmoid tumors (DTs) is shifting from surgery towards active surveillance, with systemic and locally ablative treatments reserved for enlarging and/or symptomatic disease. However, it remains unclear which patients would benefit most from an initial conservative rather than interventional approach. To answer this question, we retrospectively analyzed adult and pediatric patients with DTs treated at a tertiary academic cancer center between 1992 and 2022. Outcomes measured were progression-free survival (PFS) and time to next treatment (TTNT) after first-line therapy. A total of 262 treatment-naïve patients were eligible for analysis with a median age of 36.5 years (range, 0−87 years). The 5-year PFS and the median TTNT (months) after first-line treatment were, respectively: 50.6% and 69.1 mo for surgery; 64.9% and 149.5 mo for surgery plus adjuvant radiotherapy; 57.1% and 44.7 mo for surgery plus adjuvant systemic therapy; 24.9% and 4.4 mo for chemotherapy; 26.7% and 5.3 mo for hormonal therapy; 41.3% and 29.6 mo for tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs); 44.4% and 8.9 mo for cryoablation and high intensity focused ultrasound; and 43.1% and 32.7 mo for active surveillance. Age ≤ 40 years (p < 0.001), DTs involving the extremities (p < 0.001), a maximum tumor diameter > 60 mm (p = 0.04), and hormonal therapy (p = 0.03) predicted a higher risk of progression. Overall, our results suggest that active surveillance should be considered initially for patients with smaller asymptomatic DTs, while upfront TKIs, local ablation, and surgery achieve similar outcomes in those with more aggressive disease.

Toxicity spectrum of immunotherapy in advanced lung cancer: A safety analysis from clinical trials and a pharmacovigilance system. EClinicalMedicine 2022; 50:101535. [PMID: 35812997 PMCID: PMC9256649 DOI: 10.1016/j.eclinm.2022.101535] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2022] [Revised: 06/07/2022] [Accepted: 06/08/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND With the increased use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in advanced lung cancer, adverse events (AEs), particularly immune-related AEs (irAEs), have garnered considerable interest. We conducted a comprehensive assessment of the toxicity profile in advanced lung cancer using multi-source medical data. METHODS First, we systematically searched the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases (from inception to 10 August 2021) for relevant randomised controlled trials (RCTs) involving ICI-based treatments for advanced lung cancer. The primary outcomes were treatment-related AEs and irAEs, including events that were assigned grade 1-5 and 3-5. The secondary outcomes were grade 5 AEs and irAEs (grade 1-5 and grade 3-5) in specific organs. Network comparisons were conducted for 11 treatments, including chemotherapy (CT), ICI monotherapy (three regimens: programmed death-1 receptor [PD-1] inhibitors, programmed death ligand-1 [PD-L1] inhibitors, and cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen [CTLA-4] inhibitors), dual-ICI combination therapy (two regimens), and treatment using one or two ICI drugs administered in combination with CT (five regimens). We also conducted a disproportionality analysis by extracting reports of various irAEs associated with ICIs from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. The reporting odds ratios and fatality proportions of different irAEs were calculated and compared. PROSPERO: CRD42021268650. FINDINGS Overall, 41 RCTs involving 23,121 patients with advanced lung cancer were included. Treatments containing chemotherapy increased the risk of treatment-related AEs compared to ICI-based regimens without chemotherapy. Concerning irAEs, PD-L1 + CTLA-4 + CT was associated with the highest risk of grade 1-5 irAEs, followed by two regimens of dual ICI combination, three regimens of ICI monotherapy, and three regimens of one ICI combined with CT. For 3-5 irAEs, CTLA-4 accounted for most AEs. Detailed comparisons of ICI-based treatment options provided irAE profiles based on specific organs/systems and AE severity. Insights from the FAERS database revealed that signals corresponding to pneumonitis, colitis, thyroiditis, and hypophysitis were observed across all ICI regimens. Further analyses of the outcomes indicated that myocarditis (163 of 367, 44.4%), pneumonitis (1610 of 4497, 35.8%), and hepatitis (290 of 931, 31.1%) had high fatality rates. INTERPRETATION Included RCTs showed heterogeneity in a few clinical factors, and reports derived from the FAERS database might have involved inaccurate data. Our results can be used as a basis for improving clinical treatment strategies and designing preventive methods for ICI treatment in advanced lung cancer.

Selumetinib for symptomatic, inoperable plexiform neurofibromas in children with neurofibromatosis type 1: A national real-world case series. Pediatr Blood Cancer 2022; 69:e29633. [PMID: 35289492 DOI: 10.1002/pbc.29633] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2022] [Revised: 02/10/2022] [Accepted: 02/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022]
Abstract
Neurofibromatosis type 1-associated plexiform neurofibromas can cause debilitating symptoms and be life threatening. Treatment options are limited, given their tendency to regrow following surgery and their propensity to transform into malignant tumours following radiation. Selumetinib is an oral selective inhibitor of RAS-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) 1 and 2, which has shown efficacy for tumour shrinkage/stabilisation and symptom improvement. We report a national case series of 19 children treated with selumetinib. All patients experienced symptom improvement or stabilisation with an acceptable toxicity profile, including those patients previously treated with trametinib. This real-world experience confirms previous trials showing significant clinical benefit for this patient population.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The management of women with clinical early-stage cervical cancer and lymph node involvement detected intraoperatively is heterogeneous and controversial. This paper presents the protocol of a systematic review and meta-analysis regarding the management of this specific population of patients. This proposed study aims to answer the question: does completion of radical hysterectomy improve the oncological outcomes of women with clinical early-stage cervical cancer and intraoperatively detected nodal involvement? METHODS AND ANALYSIS This protocol is drafted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols guidelines, and the proposed study will be conducted in accordance with the standard guidelines of 'Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses' and 'Meta-analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology reporting guideline'. Comprehensive literature searches will be performed in PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science. The screening of the eligible studies, the extraction of data of interest, and the quality assessment of the included studies will all be independently performed by different members of our team. The primary outcome of this proposed study will be comparing the risk of recurrence or death from cervical cancer and the risk of all-cause death in patients with two different treatments (completion of radical hysterectomy or abandonment of radical hysterectomy); the secondary outcome of this proposed study will be comparing the risk of the grade 3/4 toxicities associated with the two types of management. Given the clinical heterogeneity among the included studies, data on outcomes will be pooled by random-effects models. Heterogeneity will be evaluated using the I2 statistic. The risk of bias for the included studies will be evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale or the Cochrane collaboration's tool. The grade of evidence will be evaluated by two independent members of our team using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations approach. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethical approval is not required because there will no primary data collected. The findings of this proposed study will be published in an international peer-reviewed journal. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42021273527.

Lenvatinib Plus Programmed Cell Death Protein-1 Inhibitor Beyond First-Line Systemic Therapy in Refractory Advanced Biliary Tract Cancer: A Real-World Retrospective Study in China. Front Immunol 2022; 13:946861. [PMID: 35967452 PMCID: PMC9364266 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.946861] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2022] [Accepted: 06/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Currently, no second-line systemic treatment regimen has been recommended in advanced biliary tract cancer (BTC). Cumulative clinical evidence showed that systemic treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in combination with immunotherapy may shed light on the dim clinical outcome in advanced BTC. Objective The aim of this study is to evaluate the anticancer efficacy of lenvatinib plus programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) antibody in patients with BTC who progressed after first-line cisplatin/gemcitabine (CisGem) chemotherapy. Methods Patients with advanced BTCs who progressed after CisGem were recruited. A combination regimen of lenvatinib (8/12 mg daily) plus PD-1 antibody (200/240 mg injection every 3 weeks) was prescribed. Clinicopathological information and therapeutic outcome, including tumor subtypes, biomarkers, treatment duration, adverse events (AE), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS), were recorded and estimated. Results A total of 351 patients with BTCs were reviewed and 74 were recruited eventually: 35 had intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (47.3%), 4 had extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (5.4%), and 35 had gallbladder cancer (47.3%). The median administered cycles of PD-1 antibody were 6.43 (95% CI: 5.83–7.04) cycles, and the median duration of lenvatinib medication was 21.0 weeks (95% CI: 18.04–23.93). Twenty-eight patients (37.83%) experienced detectable objective response per RECIST1.1 within a median follow-up duration of 15.0 months. The objective response rate (ORR) was 20.27% (95% CI: 10.89%–29.65%), and the disease control rate (DCR) was 71.62% (95% CI: 61.11%–82.14%). The median PFS and OS were 4.0 months (95% CI: 3.5–5.0) and 9.50 months (95% CI: 9.0–11.0), respectively. Seventy-three patients (98.64%) reported AEs and 39 (52.70%) experienced ≥grade 3 AEs. In subgroup analyses, tumoral PD-L1 expression ≥50% and tumor mutation burden (TMB) ≥2.5 Muts/Mb were associated with prolonged PFS. Conclusion Lenvatinib plus PD-1 antibody treatment shows an active trend towards improving survival in patients with advanced BTCs after failure with CisGem chemotherapy. The treatment-related AEs are worthy of attention and are manageable.

Efficacy and Safety of Neoadjuvant Monoimmunotherapy With PD-1 Inhibitor for dMMR/MSI⁃H Locally Advanced Colorectal Cancer: A Single-Center Real-World Study. Front Immunol 2022; 13:913483. [PMID: 35958603 PMCID: PMC9359076 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.913483] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2022] [Accepted: 05/11/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of single-agent programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) inhibitor in the neoadjuvant treatment of patients with mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR) or microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) locally advanced colorectal cancer (LACRC) through single-center large⁃sample analysis based on real⁃world data in China. Methods This study was a retrospective, single-center, case series study. 33 colorectal cancer (CRC) patients with clinical stage of T3~4N0~2M0 treated in Yunnan Cancer Hospital from June 2019 to June 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. Among them, 32 patients were dMMR or MSI-H or both dMMR and MSI-H, and one patient was both dMMR and microsatellite stability (MSS) (excluded in the final analysis). All 32 patients received neoadjuvant immunotherapy (nIT) with single-agent PD⁃1 inhibitor. Results Among the 32 patients, 8 (25%) were locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) and 24 (75%) were locally advanced colon cancer (LACC); 4 (12.55%) were stage II and 28 (87.5%) were stage III. The median number of cycles of 32 patients with dMMR/MSI-H LACRC receiving nIT with single-agent PD-1 blockade was 6 (4~10), and the median number of cycles to achieve partial response (PR) was 3 (2~4). Among them, three LARC patients achieved clinical complete response (cCR) and adopted the watch-and-wait (W&W) strategy. The objective response rate (ORR) of the other 29 patients with radical surgery was 100% (29/29), the pathological response rate was 100% (29/29), the rate of major pathological response (MPR) was 86.2% (25/29), and the rate of pathological complete response (pCR) was 75.9% (22/29). The incidence of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) in 32 patients during nIT was 37.5% (12/32), while the incidence of irAEs in 22 patients with operation during adjuvant immunotherapy was 27.3% (6/22), all of which were grade 1~2. No grade 3 or above irAEs were occured. The median time from the last nIT to surgery was 27 (16~42) days. There were no delayed radical resection due to irAEs in these patients. All 29 patients achieved R0 resection. The incidence of surgical-related adverse events (srAEs) in perioperative period was 10.3% (3/29). Conclusions Neoadjuvant monoimmunotherapy with PD-1 inhibitor has favorable ORR and pCR rate, and relatively low incidences of irAEs and srAEs for patients with dMMR/MSI-H LACRC, suggesting that this nIT regimen of single-agent PD-1 inhibitor is significantly effective and sufficiently safe.

Abstract
Background High serum uric acid (SUA) levels increase the risk of overall cancer morbidity and mortality, particularly for digestive malignancies. Nevertheless, the correlation between SUA level and clinical outcomes of the postoperative patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) treated by chemotherapy is unclear. This study aimed at exploring the relationship between baseline SUA level and progression-free survival (PFS), disease control rate (DCR), and safety in postoperative CRC patients receiving chemotherapy. Patients and Methods We conducted a retrospective study to evaluate the relationship between baseline SUA level and PFS, DCR, and incidence of serious adverse events of 736 postoperative CRC patients treated with FOLFOX, FOLFIRI or XELOX at our center. Results Data from our center suggested that high baseline SUA level is linked to poor PFS in non-metastatic CRC patients using FOLFOX (HR=2.59, 95%CI: 1.29-11.31, p=0.018) and in male patients using FOLFIRI (HR=3.77, 95%CI: 1.57-39.49, p=0.012). In patients treated by FOLFIRI, a high SUA is also linked to a low DCR (p=0.035). In patients using FOLFOX, high baseline SUA level is also linked to a high incidence of neutropenia (p=0.0037). For patients using XELOX, there is no significant correlation between SUA level and PFS, effectiveness, or safety. Conclusions These findings imply that a high SUA level is a promising biomarker associated with poor PFS, DCR and safety of postoperative CRC patients when treated with FOLFOX or FOLFIRI.

Abstract
RATIONALE Anlotinib is an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting vascular endothelial growth factor receptor, and has been approved for the treatment of patients with advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer who had received at least 2 previous chemotherapy and epidermal growth factor receptor/anaplastic lymphoma kinase targeted therapy regimens. Pneumothorax is a rare adverse reaction of this drug. Here, we present a case of pneumothorax following anlotinib treatment in a patient with lung cancer. PATIENT CONCERNS A 61-year-old Asian male long-term smoker was admitted to the hospital in November 2019 with sputum production and dyspnea. DIAGNOSIS The patient was diagnosed with right lung adenocarcinoma with mediastinal and rib metastases, combined with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and pulmonary bullous disease. INTERVENTIONS The patient was treated with oral administration of anlotinib. The patient had a recurrent pneumothorax that improved after drug withdrawal and was free of recurrence. Therefore, pneumothorax caused by rupture of the pulmonary bullous due to anlotinib was considered. OUTCOMES After discontinuing anlotinib, the patient has not developed pneumothorax to date. LESSONS Pneumothorax may occur when VEGF is inhibited, which can promote the proliferation and repair of alveolar wall substances, leading to alveolar rupture. With respect to pneumothorax, it is necessary to be aware of the risk of pulmonary bullous rupture during antitumor treatment with small-molecule tyrosine kinase drugs.

Tumor-feeding artery diameter reduction is associated with improved short-term effect of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy plus lenvatinib treatment. World J Gastroenterol 2022; 28:3232-3242. [PMID: 36051348 PMCID: PMC9331530 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v28.i26.3232] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2022] [Revised: 03/17/2022] [Accepted: 06/17/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) plus lenvatinib has been frequently used to treat unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC) in China. In the clinic, the hepatic arteries of some patients shrink significantly during this treatment, leading to improved short-term efficacy.
AIM To investigate the relationship between the shrinkage of hepatic arteries and the short-term effect of HAIC plus lenvatinib treatment.
METHODS Sixty-seven participants with uHCC were enrolled in this retrospective study. The patients received HAIC every 3 wk, followed by oral lenvatinib after the first HAIC course. Hepatic artery diameters were measured on CT before treatment and after 1 and 2 mo of treatment. Meanwhile, the changes in tumor capillaries were also examined on pathological specimens before and after 1 mo of treatment. The antitumor response after 1, 3, and 6 mo of treatment was assessed using the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST). The relationship between the changes in vessel diameters and the short-term effect of the combination treatment was evaluated by receiver-operating characteristic and logistic regression analyses.
RESULTS The hepatic artery diameters were all significantly decreased after 1 and 2 mo of treatment (P < 0.001), but there was no difference in the vessel diameters between 1 and 2 mo (P > 0.05). The microvessel density in the tumor lesions decreased significantly after 1 mo of combination treatment (P < 0.001). According to mRECIST, 46, 41, and 24 patients had complete or partial responses after 1, 3, and 6 mo of treatment, respectively, whereas 21, 21, and 32 patients had a stable or progressive disease at these times, respectively. Shrinkage of the tumor-feeding artery was significantly associated with the tumor response after 1, 3, and 6 mo of treatment (P < 0.001, P = 0.004, and P = 0.023, respectively); however, changes in other hepatic arteries were not significantly associated with the tumor response. Furthermore, shrinkage of the tumor-feeding artery was an independent factor for treatment efficacy (P = 0.001, P = 0.001, and P = 0.002 and 1, 3, and 6 mo, respectively).
CONCLUSION The hepatic arteries shrank rapidly after treatment with HAIC plus lenvatinib, and shrinkage of the tumor-feeding artery diameter was closely related to improved short-term efficacy.

[PMID: 35711409 PMCID: PMC9195870 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.892618] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2022] [Accepted: 04/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Thus far, few studies have investigated the safety and efficacy of programmed death-1 (PD-1) immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) antibodies in patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related liver cancer. Objective To investigate the effect of combination therapy with programmed death-1 (PD-1) immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) on HBV-related liver cancer. Methods Until January 31, 2022, liver cancer patients with hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or HBV DNA positivity, treated with PD-1 ICIs and TKIs combined with nucleoside analogs (NAs), were retrospectively reviewed. The correlation between the change in HBV DNA and HBsAg levels and tumor response was analyzed using the χ2 test. Cox univariate and multivariate survival analyses and Kaplan–Meier curves were used to identify and compare risk factors and overall survival (OS). Results A total of 48 patients were enrolled in the study, with an objective response rate (ORR) of 31.3%, a disease control rate (DCR) of 66.7%; the incidence of adverse events was mostly mild. A significant decrease in HBV DNA and HBsAg levels was observed at 12 and 24 weeks compared with the baseline (p < 0.05). Compared to patients with progressive disease (PD), patients with disease control showed a more significant decrease in HBV DNA and HBsAg levels at 12 and 24 weeks (p < 0.001). Eleven patients showed elevations in HBV DNA level and one of them showed HBV reactivation; however, the reactivation was not associated hepatitis. Moreover, eight patients showed elevation in HBsAg. Elevation in HBV DNA level was associated with poor tumor response (P=0.001, OR=18.643 [95% CI: 3.271–106.253]). Cox survival analysis suggested that HBV DNA increase (P=0.011, HR=4.816, 95% CI: 1.439–16.117) and HBsAg increase (P=0.022, HR=4.161, 95% CI: 1.224–16.144) were independent risk factors associated with survival time. Kaplan–Meier curves suggested that patients who exhibited an increase in HBV DNA (6.87 months vs undefined, log-rank test: p= 0.004) and HBsAg (8.07 months vs undefined, log-rank test: p= 0.004) levels had a shorter median survival time (MST). Patients without increased HBsAg showed better baseline liver function and routine blood tests (p<0.05) than patients with increased HBsAg. An increase in C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), and a decrease in T lymphocytes, CD4+ T lymphocytes, and B lymphocytes at 1-week post-treatment associated with HBsAg well-controlled. Conclusion HBV-related liver cancer patients treated with combination therapy showed improved efficacy and safety profiles. Combination therapy has some effect on HBV infection, and a correlation between tumor response and antiviral efficacy was found. Elevation of HBV DNA and HBsAg levels may indicate poorer tumor response and survival time. Better baseline liver function and early immune activation may be associated with decline in HBsAg levels.

Abstract
Objective To analyze the effectiveness of the long-term (> 12 months) administration of anlotinib as a monotherapy or combined therapy in patients with advanced sarcomas. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted of patients with advanced sarcomas with measurable target lesions since 2018. Twenty-two of the patients had taken anlotinib regularly for > 12 months. The patients’ general information and the drug’s clinical efficacy and toxicity data were collected and statistically analyzed using RECIST 1.1 to measure the target lesions and tumor PFS time as the main endpoints. We used a swimmer plot to observe the drug’s efficacy and duration, and employed a waterfall plot to express the best treatment effect. Results The study included 14 male and 8 female patients, ranging in age from 14 to 75 (mean: 44.82) years. The primary diseases included alveolar soft part sarcoma, synovial sarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, and others. The metastasis sites were the lungs in fifteen cases, lymph nodes in four cases, and multiple sites in three cases. Fourteen patients had previously undergone chemotherapy. The current therapy protocol was oral anlotinib alone for nine cases, combination chemotherapy for nine cases, and combination immunotherapy (anti-PD-1) for four cases. The highest clinical efficacy was complete remission (CR) in four (18.18%) cases, partial response (PR) in five (22.73%) cases, and stable disease in 13 (59.09%) cases, with an odds ratio of response of 40.91%. The mean PFS for the CR, PR, and stable disease groups was 16.50, 14.50, and 29.31 months, respectively (p < 0.05). The main adverse effects included hand-foot syndrome, hypertension, and leukopenia. Conclusion Anlotinib monotherapy or combination therapy can be more effective and safer for certain advanced sarcomas, with more extended maintenance and acceptable side effects. Clinical efficacy at the CR and PR levels might predict the long-term PFS in certain advanced sarcomas.

Abstract
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common lymphoproliferative disease in adults. Despite durable responses and sustained remission rates to frontline therapy, CLL is still incurable within standard therapy and eventually relapses. Maintenance therapies aim to achieve deep remission. However, the efficacy and safety of lenalidomide maintenance are still debated. Randomized controlled trials published before March 2022 were retrieved from databases. Primary outcomes were progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Trial sequential analysis examined analytical power in primary outcomes. Secondary outcomes were Grade 3–4 neutropenia, treatment discontinuation (TD), serious adverse events (SAE), and fatal adverse events (FAE). Hazard (HR) and odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. Four articles (733 patients) met the selection criteria. Lenalidomide maintenance was associated with a statistically significant effect in prolonging PFS (HR, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.28–0.68; I2 = 57%) and higher proportion of SAE (OR 4.64; 95% CI 2.96–7.26; I2 = 0%) and exhibited no difference in OS (HR, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.29–1.30; I2 = 52%) observation/placebo. It showed no significant difference compared with observation/placebo regarding Grade 3–4 neutropenia (OR 2.30; 95% CI 0.84–6.28; I2 = 81%), TD (OR 0.76; 95% CI 0.29–1.99; I2 = 84%), and FAE (OR 0.86; 95% CI 0.28–2.63; I2 = 0%). Lenalidomide maintenance can prolong PFS in CLL. Further studies should verify its effect on OS.

[PMID: 35706954 PMCID: PMC9189019 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2022.e09538] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2021] [Revised: 02/28/2022] [Accepted: 05/19/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The most common type of primary liver cancer is hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related HCC accounts for many HCC cases and has a high mortality rate. The goal of our study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib plus sintilimab therapy in real-world practice and identify factors affecting long-term prognosis. Methods A retrospective study was conducted with 139 consecutive patients with unresectable HCC treated with lenvatinib or lenvatinib plus sintilimab at the Fifth Medical Center of PLA General Hospital from June 2018 to June 2021. The 139 patients were divided into the control group (85 patients) and the combined treatment group (54 patients) according to the antitumour drugs used for treatment. Efficacy was determined using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 and the HCC-specific modified RECIST (mRECIST) for 139 patients who completed the 1st and second tumour assessments. Safety was evaluated in 60 patients in the combined treatment group and 90 patients in the control group using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0. Results A total of 139 male Chinese patients (49.6% ≥ 55 years old) were included in the efficacy analysis. The median overall survival in the combined treatment group was 21.7 months, and the median progression-free survival was 11.3 months. According to the mRECIST criteria, the objective response rate was 38.9%, and the disease control rate was 92.6%. The median overall survival (mOS), median progression-free survival (mPFS), overall response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) in the lenvatinib monotherapy group were 12.8 months, 6.6 months, 24.7%, and 74.1%, respectively. Hypertension was the most common adverse event in both groups. Some immune-related adverse events, such as hypothyroidism (n = 5), elevated blood creatinine (n = 3), elevated cardiac enzymes (n = 1), elevated amylase (n = 1) and increased fasting glucose (n = 1), occurred only in the combined therapy group. Five patients in the lenvatinib monotherapy group and six patients in the lenvatinib plus sintilimab group discontinued therapy due to severe adverse events (AEs) (grade 3). No ≥ 4-grade AEs occurred in any patients. Conclusion The TKI lenvatinib combined with PD-1-targeted immunotherapy sintilimab is efficacious and safe in real-world practice and may lead to better long-term outcomes than lenvatinib alone.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Ramucirumab plus docetaxel (RAM/DOC) therapy is currently the standard for previously treated advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), irrespective of histology. However, in the clinical trial, only the first-line platinum-based chemotherapy refractory patients were enrolled and the eligible criteria was strict to avoid hemoptysis, especially in squamous cell NSCLC (Sq). Thus, the efficacy and safety data on ramucirumab for Sq in real-world settings after immune checkpoint inhibitors monotherapy or combination therapy approved as novel first-line therapy is lacking. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed previously treated patients with advanced NSCLC who underwent RAM/DOC therapy at four institutions. Clinical data on the initiation of RAM/DOC were collected from medical records. Treatment outcomes were assessed according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1. Incidence of pulmonary hemorrhage was assessed according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0. RESULTS Overall, 237 patients with NSCLC were included and 38 (16%) had squamous cell carcinoma. There were no significant differences in median progression-free survival and overall survival between Sq and non-Sq patients (5.8 months vs. 4.3 months, P = 0.0937; 15.2 months vs. 13.4 months, P = 0.714, respectively). Of all patients, 13 (5%) developed pulmonary hemorrhage. According to histological analysis, there was no significant difference in pulmonary hemorrhage proportion between Sq and non-Sq cohorts (2/38 vs. 11/199, respectively, P = 0.947). CONCLUSIONS For previously treated patients with Sq, the efficacy and safety of RAM/DOC therapy were confirmed in a real-world setting and were similar to non-Sq.

Abstract
Introduction Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is associated with poor treatment outcome in patients with NSCLC receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). ICIs and chemotherapy (ICI/Chemo) combination therapy is currently the standard therapy for NSCLC, and some ICI/Chemo regimens for nonsquamous (non-Sq) NSCLC contain bevacizumab (BEV), which is effective for controlling MPE and may enhance immune response. This study aimed to determine the optimal first-line treatment for this clinical population. Methods We retrospectively enrolled consecutive patients with non-Sq NSCLC with MPE who received ICI/Chemo or pembrolizumab monotherapy. Treatment outcomes were analyzed in patients with programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) tumor proportion score more than or equal to 50% who were administered ICI/Chemo or pembrolizumab monotherapy (PD-L1 high cohort) and in patients with any PD-L1 status, treated with ICI/Chemo with or without BEV (ICI/Chemo cohort). We used propensity score matching (PSM) to reduce bias. Results PD-L1 high and ICI/Chemo cohorts included 143 and 139 patients, respectively. In PD-L1 high cohort, 37 patients received ICI/Chemo. With PSM, the median progression-free survival was significantly longer in the ICI/Chemo group than in the pembrolizumab group (11.1 versus 3.9 mo, respectively, p = 0.0409). In the ICI/Chemo cohort, 23 patients received BEV. With PSM, no significant difference occurred in median progression-free survival between BEV and non-BEV groups (6.1 versus 7.4 mo, p = 0.9610). Conclusion ICI/Chemo seemed more effective than pembrolizumab monotherapy for patients with non-Sq NSCLC with MPE. Nevertheless, the synergistic effect of BEV with ICI/Chemo may be limited. Further studies are needed to clarify the key factor in the tumor-induced immunosuppression environment in these patients.

Abstract
Background Dacomitinib is the second‐generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)‐tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) for mutant non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). EGFR‐TKIs are often re‐administered in Japan after the disease progression prior EGFR‐TKI. There is little evidence of dacomitinib in rechallenge setting. This study evaluated clinical outcomes of dacomitinib in rechallenge setting. Methods Patients who received dacomitinib for advanced EGFR‐mutant NSCLC who had progressed after EGFR‐TKI in nine institutions in Japan were included in the analyses. Results In total, 43 patients were analyzed. The median progression‐free survival (PFS) was 4.3 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.5–5.6). The overall survival (OS) was 10.5 months (95% CI, 7.4–not reached). The overall response rate was 25.5% (95% CI, 13.1–33.7). Subset analysis indicated that patients with EGFR exon 21 L858R showed longer PFS than those with EGFR exon 19 deletion (5.8 vs. 4.1 months) (p = 0.018). The most common adverse events leading to dose modification were diarrhea, paronychia, rash, and oral mucositis. Conclusion In the real practice in Japan, dacomitinib showed a worthwhile treatment option for NSCLC patients with EGFR mutation after failure of previous EGFR‐TKI. The benefit was especially pronounced in patients with the exon 21 mutation.

Current status of first-line treatment with pembrolizumab for non-small cell lung cancer with high PD-L1 expression. Cancer Sci 2022; 113:2109-2117. [PMID: 35377496 PMCID: PMC9207363 DOI: 10.1111/cas.15361] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2021] [Revised: 03/23/2022] [Accepted: 03/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
It is not clear whether pembrolizumab monotherapy (MONO) or pembrolizumab plus platinum‐based chemotherapy (COMB) should be selected for patients with advanced non–small‐cell lung cancer (NSCLC) exhibiting high PD‐L1 expression (tumor proportion score ≥ 50%). We performed a retrospective, multicenter study of 300 patients with NSCLC exhibiting high PD‐L1 expression who received MONO or COMB as first‐line treatment between December 2018 and January 2020. We reviewed the medical records of all consecutive patients with no driver mutations, and assessed the patient characteristics, therapeutic regimens, treatment periods, and adverse events. In total, 166 (55%; median age: 74 years) and 134 (45%; median age: 68 years) patients received MONO and COMB, respectively. Patients were younger and had better performance status (0–1) in the COMB group (p < 0.01). With a median follow‐up time of 10.6 (range: 0.1–20.6) months, the median progression‐free survival was 7.1 months with MONO and 13.1 months with COMB. The objective response rate was 42.2% with MONO and 67.9% with COMB. With respect to treatment discontinuation, 36 out of 166 (21.7%) and 28 out of 134 (20.1%) patients discontinued MONO and COMB, respectively. In conclusion, COMB may be a promising option for first‐line treatment for NSCLC with high PD‐L1 expression and good performance status.

Abstract
Currently, standard treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) comprises chemotherapy (CT) and/or biological therapy (BT) and/or best supportive care (BSC). The present study performed a meta-analysis on five phase II-III randomized clinical trials, which compared CT/BT/BSC as the control arm with the immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) or its ligand (PD-L1) alone or in combination with cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 or mitogen activated protein kinase kinase inhibitors as the experimental arm, to evaluate whether a standard approach could be overcome using the novel target therapy strategy. Pooled hazard ratio (HR) for progression-free survival was 0.95 in favor of the experimental arm [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.74-1.22; P=0.68]. Heterogeneity was significant: Cochran's Q, 21.0; P=0.0082; I2 index, 76%. Pooled HR for overall survival was 0.88 in favor of the experimental arm (95% CI, 0.75-1.02; P=0.08). Heterogeneity was not significant (Cochran's Q, 6.0; P=0.31; I2 index, 16%). The present meta-analysis demonstrated a trend toward the improvement of survival by PD-1/PD-L1 blockade in mCRC. Further homogeneous studies are necessary to strengthen these results, beyond the known benefits of ICIs in deficient mismatch repair/high microsatellite instability tumors.

Abstract
Simple Summary Hepatocellular carcinoma is the second most common cause of cancer-related deaths and accounts for over eighty percent of primary liver cancers worldwide. Regarding the Milan Criteria, only a small portion of HCC patients are eligible for liver transplantation due to advanced-stage disease and large tumor size preventing/delaying organ allocation. Recently, the use of anti-programmed cell death protein 1 and programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-1 and PD-L1) checkpoint inhibitors in the treatment of cancers have evolved rapidly and these therapies have been approved for the treatment of HCC, however, the main concerns about organ rejection in liver transplant patients who will be treated with ICPIs are still the same in both pre-and post-transplant setting. To alleviate those concerns, more global collaborations to explore the safety and efficacy of ICPIs in both the pre-and post-organ transplantation settings are required. The decision to administer ICPI treatment in liver transplant patients should be made on a case-by-case basis according to the goal of care and the availability and efficacy of other treatment options. Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents the second most common cause of cancer-related deaths and accounts for over eighty percent of primary liver cancers worldwide. Surgical resection and radiofrequency ablation in small tumors are included in the treatment options for HCC patients with good liver function profiles. According to the Milan Criteria, only a small portion of HCC patients are eligible for liver transplantation due to advanced-stage disease and large tumor size preventing/delaying organ allocation. Recently, the use of anti-programmed cell death protein 1 and programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-1 and PD-L1) checkpoint inhibitors in the treatment of cancers have evolved rapidly and these therapies have been approved for the treatment of HCC. Immune checkpoint inhibitors have resulted in good clinical outcomes in pre-and post-transplant HCC patients, although, some reports showed that certain recipients may face rejection and graft loss. In this review, we aim to illustrate and summarize the utilization of immune checkpoint inhibitor therapies in pre-and post-liver transplants for HCC patients and discuss the assessment of immune checkpoint inhibitor regulators that might determine liver transplant outcomes.

Prognostic role of multiparameter MRI and radiomics in progression of advanced unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma following combined transcatheter arterial chemoembolization and lenvatinib therapy. BMC Gastroenterol 2022; 22:108. [PMID: 35260095 PMCID: PMC8903551 DOI: 10.1186/s12876-022-02129-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2021] [Accepted: 01/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Current study aims to determine the prognostic value of Multiparameter MRI after combined Lenvatinib and TACE therapy in patients with advanced unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS A total of 61 HCC patients with pre-treatment Multiparameter MRI in Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from January 2019 to March 2021 were recruited in the current study. All patients received combined Lenvatinib and TACE treatment. Potential clinical and imaging risk factors for disease progression were analyzed using Cox regression model. Each patient extracts signs from the following 7 sequences: T1WI, T1WI arterial phase, T1WI portal phase, T1WI delay phase, T2WI, DWI (b = 800), ADC.1782 quantitative 3D radiomic features were extracted for each sequence, A random forest algorithm is used to select the first 20 features by feature importance. 7 logit regression-based prediction model was built for seven sequences based on the selected features and fivefold cross validation was used to evaluate the performance of each model. RESULTS CR, PR, SD were reported in 14 (23.0%), 35 (57.4%) and 7 (11.5%) patients, respectively. In multivariate analysis, tumor number (hazard ratio, HR = 4.64, 95% CI 1.03-20.88), and arterial phase intensity enhancement (HR = 0.24, 95% CI 0.09-0.64; P = 0.004) emerged as independent risk factors for disease progression. In addition to clinical factors, the radiomics signature enhanced the accuracy of the clinical model in predicting disease progression, with an AUC of 0.71, a sensitivity of 0.99%, and a specificity of 0.95. CONCLUSION Radiomic signatures derived from pretreatment MRIs could predict response to combined Lenvatinib and TACE therapy. Furthermore, it can increase the accuracy of a combined model for predicting disease progression. In order to improve clinical outcomes, clinicians may use this to select an optimal treatment strategy and develop a personalized monitoring protocol.

Abstract
Purpose Survival for patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) remains poor. Consolidative thoracic radiation therapy (cTRT) and upfront immunotherapy with chemotherapy have each incrementally improved patient outcomes, but have not yet been combined in clinical trials. We sought to characterize outcomes and toxicities after first-line chemotherapy and immunotherapy followed by cTRT. Methods and Materials Patients with ES-SCLC who were treated with first-line chemotherapy and immunotherapy followed by cTRT were identified at 2 institutions. Patient outcomes including overall survival (OS), progression-free survival, local progression-free survival, distant progression free-survival, and toxicity were assessed. Results Twenty patients were included in our data set treated from 2018 to 2021 with a median follow-up of 12 months. Median OS in this cohort was 16 months with 6-month OS of 94.7% and 12-month OS of 77.5% (comparable to historical controls). There were also low rates of toxicity, including 0% grade 3+ toxicity, 0% grade 2 pneumonitis, and 5% grade 2 esophagitis. Conclusions Treatment of ES-SCLC with first-line chemoimmunotherapy followed by cTRT appears to be safe and to have outcomes comparable to published modern clinical trials. Further studies are warranted to determine the therapeutic effect of cTRT after chemoimmunotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Percutaneous thermal ablation followed by vertebral augmentation is an emerging minimally invasive therapeutic alternative for the management of spinal metastases. This study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the effectiveness and safety of microwave ablation combined with vertebral augmentation for the treatment of painful vertebral metastases. MATERIALS AND METHODS Overall, 91 patients with 140 metastatic vertebrae who experienced refractory moderate-to-severe pain were treated with CT-guided microwave ablation and vertebral augmentation. Procedural effectiveness was determined using the visual analog scale, daily morphine consumption, and the Oswestry Disability Index preprocedurally and during follow-up. Local tumor control was assessed at follow-up imaging. RESULTS The procedure was technically successful in all patients. The median visual analog scale score and mean morphine dose were 6 (range, 4-10) and 77.8 (SD, 31.5) mg (range, 15-143 mg), preprocedurally; 5 (range 3-8) and 34.5 (SD, 23.8) mg (range, 0-88 mg) at 3 days; 4 (range, 2-7) and 28.7 (SD, 16.4) mg (range, 0-73 mg) at 1 week; 3 (range, 1-6) and 24.6 (SD, 13.2) mg (range, 0-70 mg) at 1 month; 3 (range, 1-6) and 21.70 (SD, 10.0) mg (range, 0-42 mg) at 3 months; and 3 (range, 1-8) and 21.0 (SD, 9.9) mg (range, 0-46 mg) at 6 months postprocedurally (all P < .05). A decrease in the Oswestry Disability Index score was also observed (P < .01). Local control was achieved in 94.8% of the treated metastatic vertebrae during the 6-month follow-up period. Asymptomatic cement leakage occurred in 42 (30%) treated vertebrae. A grade 3 neural injury was observed in 1 patient (1.1%). The patient's neurologic function returned to normal following treatment with mannitol, glucocorticoids, and radiation therapy. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that percutaneous CT-guided microwave ablation combined with vertebral augmentation is a safe and effective minimally invasive intervention for the treatment of painful spinal metastases.

Abstract
PURPOSE Our center adopted high-dose-rate brachytherapy with surface applicators (plesiotherapy) in 2008, creating custom molds to treat irregular areas. This study describes the efficacy and safety outcomes after extensive follow-up in the patients. METHODS/PATIENTS We planned the treatment using two computed tomography (CT) scans: the first to delineate the lesion and the second after placing the thermoplastic mold. Fusing the two CT images enables planning of the target volume and pinpointing, where the catheters are in the mold. RESULTS Seventy patients received plesiotherapy, either exclusively or following excision in patients with risk factors for recurrence. Those receiving plesiotherapy alone showed a complete response rate of 95.8%, and recurrences occurred in 5.7% at a mean follow-up of 96.2 months. Chronic toxicity appeared in 26.6% of patients, but severity was limited to grade 1 or 2. CONCLUSIONS High-dose-rate brachytherapy with customized molds yields a high rate of complete response, with long-term recurrence rates in line with similar studies and an acceptable toxicity rate.

However, these chemotherapy regimens inevitably cause relatively high incidence of treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs). Herein we retrospectively evaluated the efficacy and safety of the combined regimen of anti-PD-1 antibody, anlotinib and pegaspargase “sandwich” with radiotherapy in localized NKTL. Anti-PD-1 antibody and pegaspargase at 2500 U/m2 were administered on day 1, while anlotinib (12 mg once a day) was orally administered on days 1-14. The treatment was repeated every 3 weeks. All the eight patients included received 3 cycles of the regimen followed by radiotherapy and an additional 3 cycles. The overall response rate was 100%, and the complete response rate was 87.5%. With a median follow-up time of 35.5 months (range, 34.03-40.90 months), median PFS and OS times were not reached. The 3-year PFS and OS rates were 100% and 100%, respectively. All patients were alive at the last follow-up. No treatment-related death and no grade 4 TRAE was reported. No grade 3/4 hematological toxicity was detected, and half of the patients didn’t report any hematological toxicity. This study indicates that anti-PD-1 antibody combined with anlotinib and pegaspargase is a promising chemoradiotherapy regimen for localized NTKL, with mild toxicity and good tolerance.

Abstract
Biologics targeting PD-1, PD-L1, and CTLA-4 immune checkpoint proteins have been used in a variety of tumor types including small and non-small cell lung cancers, melanoma, and renal cell carcinoma. Their anti-tumor activity is achieved through amplifying components of the patient's own immune system to target immune response evading cancer cells. However, this unique mechanism of action causes a range of immune related adverse events, irAEs, that affect multiple physiological systems in the body. These irAEs, depending on severity, often cause suspension or discontinuation of therapy and, in rare cases, may lead to fatal outcomes. In this study we focused on pembrolizumab, a PD-1 inhibitor currently approved for multiple types of cancer. We analyzed over ten thousand adverse event reports from Keynote clinical trials of pembrolizumab for various cancer indications with or without co-occurring infections, and observed a statistically significant 80% increase in the risk of developing an irAE in subjects with infections.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has profoundly changed on account of the arrival of new therapies, like immunotherapy. Within this group of drugs, those aimed at the programmed cell death-1 or programmed cell death ligand-1(PD1/PDL-1) are very relevant, for example, Pembrolizumab. Although its adverse reactions are generally mild and well tolerated, it has been associated with certain immune-related adverse events (IrAEs) than can be serious and affect any organ. CASE REPORT A 62-year-old woman diagnosed with stage IV NSCLC with a single bone metastasis and PD-L1 expression of 60% started treatment with cisplatin-pemetrexed-pembrolizumab, and maintenance with pembrolizumab. MANAGEMENT AND OUTCOME The patient attended the ER with pericardial effusion that was assumed to be a Pembrolizumab IrAE and was managed with corticosteroids. The patient fully recovered but immunotherapy was not reintroduced due to the severity of the AE. DISCUSSION The cardiovascular system is among the least affected organs by immunotoxicity, with an incidence between 0.09-0.6%. However, some authors suspect the incidence is underestimated. Median time to onset is highly variable, ranging from 6 weeks since the first dose to 2 years after discontinuation of the treatment. There are not guidelines on the most effective management of the IrAEs, but according to the pharmaceutical reference, corticosteroids should be initiated followed by a progressive reduction. If no response is obtained, another immunosuppressive agent should be added. The determination to restart immunotherapy depends on the severity of the adverse reaction, the availability of other alternative treatments, and the cancer response.

Front Oncol 2022; 12:796657. [PMID: 35186737 PMCID: PMC8852230 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.796657] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2021] [Accepted: 01/10/2022] [Indexed: 01/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective To conduct a meta-analysis of the efficacy and safety of 225Ac-PSMA-617 in the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer based on existing clinical evidence. Methods Search for retrospective studies about 225Ac-PSMA-617 in the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer from establishment to July 2021 in PubMed and EMBASE. The primary endpoint was 225Ac-PSMA-617 biochemical response evaluation criteria after treatment [any prostate specific antigen (PSA) decrease and PSA decrease >50% from baseline] to evaluate the treatment effect. Secondary endpoints included assessment of overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), molecular response, and toxicity for all studies. Two researchers conducted literature screening, data extraction and quality evaluation according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Use stata16.0 software for analysis, fixed-effects model for data merging and forest plots for display. Results A total of 6 retrospective studies, namely, 201 patients, were included in the final analysis. The pooled proportions of patients with decreased PSA and PSA decreased by more than 50% were 87.0% (95% confidence interval, 0.820 to 0.920) and 66.1% (95% confidence interval, 0.596 to 0.726), respectively. The pooled proportions of OS and PFS were 12.5 months (95%CI: 6.2–18.8 months) and 9.1 months (95%CI: 2.6–15.7 months). The patients showing molecular responses were 54% (95% confidence interval: 25–84%). In all studies, the most common side effect of 225Ac-PSMA-617 TAT was xerostomia, with any degree of xerostomia occurring in 77.1% (155 out of 201), and grade III only accounted for 3.0%. The second was 30.3% (61 out of 201) anemia of any degree, and grade III accounts for 7.5% (15 out of 201). Grade III leukopenia and thrombocytopenia were 4.5% (9 out of 201) and 5.5% (11 out of 201), respectively. Only 6 (3.0%) of 201 patients had Grade III nephrotoxicity. Conclusion 225Ac-PSMA-617 is an effective and safe treatment option for mCRPC patients, and the toxicity caused by it is relatively low. However, future randomized controlled trials and prospective trials are required in the future to judge the therapeutic effects and survival benefits compared with existing clinical treatments. Systematic Review Registration PROSPERO: CRD42021281967.

Abstract
The discipline of Cardio-Oncology has seen tremendous growth over the past decade. It is devoted to the cardiovascular (CV) care of the cancer patient, especially to the mitigation and management of CV complications or toxicities of cancer therapies, which can have profound implications on prognosis. To that effect, many studies have assessed CV toxicities in patients undergoing various types of cancer therapies; however, direct comparisons have proven difficult due to lack of uniformity in CV toxicity endpoints. Similarly, in clinical practice, there can be substantial differences in the understanding of what constitutes CV toxicity, which can lead to significant variation in patient management and outcomes. This document addresses these issues and provides consensus definitions for the most commonly reported CV toxicities, including cardiomyopathy/heart failure and myocarditis, vascular toxicity, and hypertension, as well as arrhythmias and QTc prolongation. The current document reflects a harmonizing review of the current landscape in CV toxicities and the definitions used to define these. This consensus effort aims to provide a structure for definitions of CV toxicity in the clinic and for future research. It will be important to link the definitions outlined herein to outcomes in clinical practice and CV endpoints in clinical trials. It should facilitate communication across various disciplines to improve clinical outcomes for cancer patients with CV diseases.
