Xu M, Shao K, Wang Y, Hao Y, Song Z. Comparison of the efficacy and safety of anlotinib monotherapy or anlotinib plus immune checkpoint inhibitor for advanced small cell lung cancer with brain metastases. Clin Transl Oncol 2024; 26:1687-1695. [PMID: 38363527 DOI: 10.1007/s12094-024-03390-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 01/10/2024] [Indexed: 02/17/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Anlotinib, as a salvage treatment for patients after failure of third-line or later-line treatments for small cell lung cancer (SCLC), has shown efficacy in patients with brain metastases (BMs). However, the efficacy and safety of anlotinib alone or in combination with immunotherapy for SCLC with BMs remain unclear. METHOD Patients treated with anlotinib alone or in combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) at the Zhejiang Cancer Hospital between April 2019 and February 2023 were identified. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to describe the progression-free survival (PFS) and intracranial PFS (iPFS). A waterfall diagram was used to indicate changes in intracranial lesions. RESULTS A total of 48 patients were included; 29 received anlotinib alone, and 19 were administered anlotinib plus ICI. Combination therapy, compared with anlotinib, was associated with significantly longer PFS and iPFS (PFS: 8.1 months vs. 2.5 months, P < 0.001; iPFS: 8.1 months vs. 2.5 months, P = 0.004). Similar results were observed in patients with multiple BMs (PFS: 8.1 months vs. 1.9 months, P = 0.001; iPFS: 8.1 months vs. 1.9 months, P = 0.002). After third-line or later-line treatments, patients treated with ICI plus anlotinib also achieved significant PFS and iPFS benefits (PFS: 8.4 months vs. 2.1 months, P < 0.001; iPFS: 9.2 months vs. 2.1 months, P = 0.002). No new or severe adverse events were observed with combination therapy. CONCLUSION The combination of anlotinib and ICI has promising intracranial and extracranial efficacy with tolerable toxicity, and may be a therapeutic option for SCLC patients with BMs.

Efficacy and safety of sintilimab in combination with chemotherapy for recurrent extensive-stage small cell lung cancer: a real-world retrospective study. J Thorac Dis 2024; 16:3897-3908. [PMID: 38983156 PMCID: PMC11228733 DOI: 10.21037/jtd-24-769] [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: 05/11/2024] [Accepted: 06/20/2024] [Indexed: 07/11/2024]
Abstract
Background Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) no longer are approved for second-line or later treatment of extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC), and have not been studied in combination with chemotherapy. Exploring the efficacy and safety of second-line or later immunotherapy for ES-SCLC is an urgent clinical question that needs to be addressed, and combination therapies are an important research direction. This study intended to investigate the efficacy and safety of the sintilimab in combination with chemotherapy as a second-line and beyond treatment option for ES-SCLC. Methods Medical records of patients who received treatment with sintilimab in combination with chemotherapy or chemotherapy alone as a second-line or beyond therapy were retrospectively analyzed. The study evaluated efficacy and safety. Indicators of efficacy included objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Safety indicators included adverse events (AEs). Results This cohort comprised of 46 patients: 24 in the sintilimab combination chemotherapy group and 22 in the chemotherapy group. Chemotherapy received by both groups was either albumin-bound paclitaxel or irinotecan. Compared with the chemotherapy group, the sintilimab combination chemotherapy group had higher ORR and DCR (ORR: 37.5% vs. 9.1%, P=0.04; DCR: 75.0% vs. 40.9%, P=0.04), and significantly prolonged PFS and OS [median PFS (mPFS): 5.07 vs. 2.45 months, P=0.006; median OS (mOS): 14.43 vs. 10.34 months, P=0.009]. Also, there was no significant increase in the incidence of AEs in the sintilimab combination chemotherapy group, which was well tolerated by patients. Conclusions Sintilimab in combination with chemotherapy is superior to single-agent chemotherapeutic treatment as second-line or later therapy in ES-SCLC patients who have not received prior immunotherapy. These results need to be confirmed in future clinical trials.

EXPLORATION OF TARGETED ANTI-TUMOR THERAPY 2024; 5:568-580. [PMID: 38966165 PMCID: PMC11220314 DOI: 10.37349/etat.2024.00236] [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: 12/18/2023] [Accepted: 02/19/2024] [Indexed: 07/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Background This article is based on our previous research, which was presented at the 2023 ASCO Annual Meeting I and published in Journal of Clinical Oncology as Conference Abstract (JCO. 2023;41:e16148. doi: 10.1200/JCO.2023.41.16_suppl.e16148). Both anti-programmed death 1/ligand-1 (PD-1/L1) antibody + anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antibody (A + A) and anti-PD-1/L1 antibody + VEGF receptor (VEGFR)-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor (A + T) are effective first-line therapies for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. However, there lacks evidence from head-to-head comparisons between these two treatments. We conducted a network meta-analysis on the efficacy and safety of them. Methods After a rigorous literature research, 6 phase III trials were identified for the final analysis, including IMbrave150, ORIENT-32, COSMIC-312, CARES-310, LEAP-002, and REFLECT. The experiments were classified into three groups: A + A, A + T, and intermediate reference group. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS), and secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), and incidence of treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs). Hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for OS and PFS, odds ratio (OR) for ORR, and relative risk (RR) for all grade and grade ≥3 TRAEs were calculated. Under Bayesian framework, the meta-analysis was conducted using sorafenib as intermediate reference. Results With the rank probability of 96%, A + A showed the greatest reduction in the risk of death, without significant difference from A + T (HR: 0.82, 95% CI: 0.65-1.04). A + T showed the greatest effect in prolonging PFS and improving ORR with the rank probability of 77%, but there were no statistical differences with A + A. A + A was safer than A + T in terms of all grade of TRAEs (RR: 0.91, 95% CI: 0.82-1.00) and particularly in those grade ≥3 (RR: 0.65, 95% CI: 0.54-0.77). Conclusions A + A had the greatest probability of delivering the longest OS, while A + T was correlated with larger PFS benefits at the cost of a lower safety rate.

Abstract
Managing extensive-stage SCLC (ES-SCLC) has long been challenging for clinicians and oncologists due to its aggressive nature and poor prognosis. We report a case of a 41-year-old female with ES-SCLC who survived for six years, defying the disease's typically poor prognosis. Through a heavy treatment strategy involving chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy, the patient experienced robust responses and avoided distant metastasis, including brain involvement. The long-term survival case in SCLC highlights the need for further research into personalized strategies and prognostic biomarkers. This case holds significant value for both clinicians and researchers as it challenges the conventional strategies for ES-SCLC and sets the stage for future evidence-based studies aimed at extending survival in SCLC.

Abstract
Sarcomatoid carcinoma (SC) is a rare, complex, aggressive tumor that spreads rapidly, is highly malignant, and has metastasized. Surgical resection is the primary treatment, and it usually occurs in the lungs and kidneys but rarely in the neck. Patients with advanced sarcomatoid carcinoma (SC) of the head and neck (HN) have a poor progonsis. In recent years, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been established as treatments for many solid tumors; however, the effectiveness of ICIs in treating SC of HN is still little recognized. We report a case study of a middle-aged woman with primary sarcomatoid carcinoma of the neck. She developed sarcomatoid carcinoma of the contralateral neck 7 months after the first surgical treatment. Subsequently, disease recurrence and metastasis occurred 8 months after the second surgery. The patient did not receive any treatment after both surgeries. The tumor showed high programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression, with a combined positive score (CPS): 95. The patient's response to treatment was assessed as partial remission (PR) after 2 cycles of anlotinib combined with sintilimab. The patient has survived for over 2 years and remains in PR status, despite experiencing grade 2 hypothyroidism as an adverse event during treatment. The case highlights the efficacy and safety of anlotinib and sintilimab as a first-line treatment.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness and tolerability of anlotinib plus PD-1 blockades in patients with previously immunotherapy treated advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods A total of 67 patients with previously immunotherapy treated advanced NSCLC who received anlotinib plus PD-1 blockades in clinical practice were screened retrospectively. All the PD-1 blockades used in this study were approved in China and consisted of sintilimab, camrelizumab, tislelizumab and pembrolizumab. Effectiveness and safety of anlotinib plus PD-1 blockades were assessed, and all patients were followed up regularly. Clinical significance between response status to previous immune-related treatment regimens and therapeutic outcomes of anlotinib plus PD-1 blockades was further explored. Results The best overall response among the 67 patients suggested that a partial response was observed in 16 patients, stable disease was noted in 41 patients and progressive disease was found in 10 patients, which yielded an objective response rate of 23.9% (95% CI: 14.3-35.9%) and a disease control rate of 85.1% (95% CI: 74.3-92.6%). Prognostic outcomes indicated that the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 6.1 months (95% CI: 2.37-9.83) and the median overall survival (OS) was 16.5 months (95% CI: 10.73-22.27). Exploratory analysis highlighted that patients who were intolerant to previous immune-related regimens (17 patients) might have a superior prognosis (median OS: 22.3 months vs 12.5 months, P=0.024). Additionally, adverse reactions with any grades during anlotinib plus PD-1 blockades administration were observed in 62 patients (92.5%), of which 31 patients (46.3%) had ≥grade 3 adverse reactions. Most common adverse reactions were fatigue, hypertension, diarrhea and hepatotoxicity. Conclusion Anlotinib plus PD-1 blockades demonstrated promising effectiveness and tolerable safety in patients with previously immunotherapy treated advanced NSCLC. Those who were intolerant to previous immune-related regimens might benefit significantly from treatment with anlotinib plus PD-1 blockades. This conclusion should be confirmed in future studies.

Abstract
Background Extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) is highly malignant, with early metastasis and high recurrence. Since therapeutic options are limited, ES-SCLC has a characteristically short survival period and extremely poor prognosis. A combination of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and anti-angiogenic drugs can achieve promising efficacy and safety in patients with ES-SCLC as a second-line or subsequent treatment, extending survival to some extent. However, the clinical outcomes remain mostly unsatisfactory and are sometimes affected by treatment-related adverse events. Case presentation A 57-year-old woman with ES-SCLC was administered a combination therapy of atezolizumab (a PD-L1 inhibitor) and anlotinib [an oral multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)]. She survived for 22 months, with no disease progression during the 28 courses of therapy. Unexpectedly, despite having no history of asthma, the patient developed asthma while receiving this regimen. This is possibly related to T-cell activation and the tumor immune microenvironment, which induce allergic inflammation after PD-L1 blockade. Conclusions This is the first report of an asthma-negative ES-SCLC patient who developed asthma after receiving atezolizumab plus anlotinib. Although this combination therapy may effectively extend survival in SCLC patients, asthmatic symptoms should be closely monitored.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies have shown that integrating anlotinib with programmed death 1 (PD-1)/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors enhances survival rates among progressive non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients lacking driver mutations. However, not all individuals experience clinical benefits from this therapy. As a result, it is critical to investigate the factors that contribute to the inconsistent response of patients. Recent investigations have emphasized the importance of lipid metabolic reprogramming in the development and progression of NSCLC. METHODS The objective of this investigation was to examine the correlation between lipid variations and observed treatment outcomes in advanced NSCLC patients who were administered PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors alongside anlotinib. A cohort composed of 30 individuals diagnosed with advanced NSCLC without any driver mutations was divided into three distinct groups based on the clinical response to the combination treatment, namely, a group exhibiting partial responses, a group manifesting progressive disease, and a group demonstrating stable disease. The lipid composition of patients in these groups was assessed both before and after treatment. RESULTS Significant differences in lipid composition among the three groups were observed. Further analysis revealed 19 differential lipids, including 2 phosphatidylglycerols and 17 phosphoinositides. CONCLUSION This preliminary study aimed to explore the specific impact of anlotinib in combination with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors on lipid metabolism in patients with advanced NSCLC. By investigating the effects of using both anlotinib and PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors, this study enhances our understanding of lipid metabolism in lung cancer treatment. The findings from this research provide valuable insights into potential therapeutic approaches and the identification of new therapeutic biomarkers.

Abstract
Anti-angiogenesis therapy plays a vital role in the treatment of tumors, with anlotinib as its representative targeted drug. Anlotinib is a novel oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) with inhibitory effects on tumor growth tumor angiogenesis. In Phase III clinical trials, anlotinib demonstrated better overall survival and progression-free survival than placebo in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and was approved for the first time as a third-line treatment for refractory advanced NSCLC. Going far beyond that, anlotinib has shown encouraging results in a variety of malignancies, including medullary thyroid carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma, gastric cancer and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Nevertheless, anlotinib has been subject to some controversy in terms of adverse events due to its widespread use. In this review, the mechanism of action, pharmacokinetic characteristics, adverse reactions in clinical use and management of anlotinib were summarized.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of anlotinib combined with anti-PD-1 inhibitors in the 2nd or later-line treatment of advanced solid tumors. Patients and Methods A total of 63 patients with advanced solid tumors who had failed or could not endure the adverse reactions after receiving first-line or more systematic treatment in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from March 2019 to April 2023 were treated with anlotinib Hydrochloride capsule combined with anti-PD-1 inhibitors. The efficacy and adverse reactions were evaluated according to RECIST1.1 and NCICTC4.0 standards. Results The percentage of overall response rate of 63 patients during the combination administration indicated that complete response was 1.6% (n=1), partial response was 23.8% (n=15), stable disease was 39.7% (n=25) and progressive disease was 34.9% (n=22), yielding objective response rate (ORR) of 25.4% and disease control rate (DCR) of 65.1%. Furthermore, the median PFS of 63 patients with advanced solid tumors was 7 months and the median OS was not reached, and the median follow-up time is 4.5 months. In subgroup analysis, there was no significant difference in PFS between first-line, second-line, third-line and above (p=0.631); there was no significant difference in PFS between PD-1 positive patients and PD-1 negative patients (p=0.094); there was no significant difference in PFS between patients who had previously used anti-PD-1 inhibitors and patients who had not used before (p=0.204). The most common adverse reactions were hypertension, hand-foot syndrome, and fatigue, with an incidence of 28.4% (18/63), 25.6% (14/63), and 25.6% (14/63), respectively. Most of the adverse reactions were grade 1-2, and there were no grade 4 adverse reactions. Conclusion Anlotinib combined with anti-PD-1 inhibitors demonstrated promising efficacy and tolerable safety for patients with advanced solid tumors in the 2nd or later-line treatment.

Wang BC, Fu C, Lin GH. The efficacy of adebrelimab compared with durvalumab and atezolizumab in untreated extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer: a survival analysis of reconstructed patient-level data. Front Immunol 2023; 14:1185577. [PMID: 37215120 PMCID: PMC10196127 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2023.1185577] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2023] [Accepted: 04/24/2023] [Indexed: 05/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Adebrelimab showed excellent efficacy in the first-line treatment for extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). However, whether adebrelimab is superior to durvalumab and atezolizumab remains unclear. Therefore, we, in this study, aimed to compare the survival data of adebrelimab (CAPSTONE-1 trial) with durvalumab (CASPIAN trial) and atezolizumab (IMpower133 trial) in the first-line setting of ES-SCLC patients. Methods Online databases, including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane CENTRAL, were systematically searched on December 2, 2022. The metaSurvival and IPDfromKM methods were used to analyze the summary survival curves and the reconstructed patient-level data. The main endpoints were median overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Results In this analysis, survival data in the CASPIAN, IMpower133, and CAPSTONE-1 trials were collected from five published studies. The pooled median OS and PFS were 14.0 months (95% CI 11.2-16.6) and 5.6 months (95% CI 4.7-6.7) when ES-SCLC patients received chemotherapy (etoposide and cisplatin/carboplatin) and anti-PD-L1 therapy. Based on the reconstructed patient-level data, adebrelimab significantly prolonged survival outcomes against atezolizumab (OS: Hazard ratio [HR]0.76, 95% CI 0.60-0.95; PFS: HR 0.67, 95% CI 0.54-0.83) and durvalumab (OS: HR 0.75, 95% CI 0.60-0.92). Conclusion For previously untreated ES-SCLC patients, longer survival time might be benefited from adding adebrelimab to etoposide-platinum chemotherapy. In future studies, further real-world evidence or head-to-head clinical trials are warranted to confirm the differences between the PD-L1 inhibitors.

Chen G, Tian T, Cai X. The surge of HBsAb level in a HBsAg-negative ES-SCLC patient after anlotinib plus atezolizumab treatment: A case report. Front Oncol 2023; 13:1103512. [PMID: 37143951 PMCID: PMC10151650 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2023.1103512] [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: 11/20/2022] [Accepted: 03/21/2023] [Indexed: 05/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a poorly differentiated neuroendocrine tumor with endocrine function. For decades, chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been the first-line treatment options. Because of its ability to normalize tumor vessels, anlotinib is recommended as a novel therapy as a third-line treatment. A combination of anti-angiogenic drugs and ICIs can effectively and safely benefit advanced cancer patients. However, immune-related side effects caused by ICIs are common. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation and hepatitis are common during immunotherapy in patients with chronic HBV infection. A 62-year-old man with ES-SCLC who had brain metastasis was described in this case. It is unusual for a HBsAg-negative patient to develop an increase in HBsAb after receiving atezolizumab immunotherapy. Although some researchers have reported the functional cure of HBV by PD-L1 antibody, this is the first case that showed a sustained increased in HBsAb level after anti-PD-L1 therapy. It is related with CD4+ and CD8+ T cells activation and HBV infection microenvironment. Importantly, this could provide a solution to insufficient protective antibody production after vaccination as well as a therapeutic opportunity for HBV patients with cancers.
