Abstract
This study aimed to explore the clinical significance of genomics features including tumor mutation burden (TMB) and copy number alteration (CNA) for advanced EGFR mutant lung cancer. We retrospectively identified 1378 patients with advanced EGFR mutant lung cancer and next-generation sequencing tests from three cohorts. Multiple co-occurring genomics alternations occurred in a large proportion (97%) of patients with advanced EGFR mutant lung cancers. Both TMB and CNA were predictive biomarkers for these patients. A joint analysis of TMB and CNA found that patients with high TMB and high CNA showed worse responses to EGFR-TKIs and predicted worse outcomes. TMBhighCNAhigh, as a high-risk genomic feature, showed predictive ability in most of the subgroups based on clinical characteristics. These patients had larger numbers of metastatic sites, and higher rates of EGFR copy number amplification, TP53 mutations, and cell-cycle gene alterations, which showed more potential survival gain from combination treatment. Furthermore, a nomogram based on genomic features and clinical features was developed to distinguish prognosis. Genomic features could stratify prognosis and guide clinical treatment for patients with advanced EGFR mutant lung cancer.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A tyrosine-kinase inhibitor (TKI) is indicated as a first-line treatment for patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring an epidermal growth-factor - receptor (EGFR) mutation. Chemotherapy (ChT) given in combination with an EGFR-TKI in this setting is of interest. METHODS We conducted a meta-analysis of phase III randomized trials comparing EGFR-TKI + ChT vs. EGFR-TKI alone as first-line therapy for advanced NSCLC harboring an activating EGFR mutation. RESULTS Three studies evaluated gefitinib + ChT (NEJ009, GAP-Brain, and Noronha et al.) and another evaluated osimertinib + ChT (FLAURA-2). Those four eligible studies included 1413 patients with non-squamous NSCLCs, 826 (58%) with an exon-19 deletion (ex19del) and 541 (38%) with EGFRL858R. The EGFR-TKI + ChT combination was significantly associated with prolonged PFS (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.52 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.45-0.59]; p < 0.0001) and OS (HR: 0.69 [0.52-0.93]; p = 0.01). PFS was particularly improved for patients with brain metastases (HR: 0.41[0.33-0.51]; p < 0.00001). CONCLUSIONS For patients with untreated, advanced, EGFR-mutated NSCLCs, the EGFR-TKI + ChT combination, compared to EGFR-TKI alone, was associated with significantly prolonged PFS and OS. However, further studies are needed to identify which patients will benefit the most from the combination. REGISTRATION PROSPERO CRD42024508055.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients harboring epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations, those with impaired performance status (PS) treated with EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have demonstrated comparable activities to good-PS patients. Due to the limited sample size and inclusion of older adult patients with good PS, these findings may not accurately depict the efficacy of EGFR-TKI in poor-PS patients. We investigated the benefit of EGFR-TKIs in this population and identified relevant prognostic factors. PATIENTS AND METHODS This nationwide prospective registry study included 9872 patients with local or advanced NSCLC. Outcomes were compared between poor- and good-PS patients treated with EGFR-mutated lung cancer therapies. RESULTS Of 9872 NSCLC patients, 1965 (19.9%) had EGFR mutations, with 1846 (93.9%) presenting common EGFR mutations. Poor PS (PS score ≥ 3) was noted in 171 patients (8.7%) and identified as an independent prognostic factor; those with poor PS had a significantly lower 1-year survival rate. The median overall survival (OS) for EGFR-TKI-treated good-PS patients was 31.5 (95% confidence interval, 29.6-33.4) months. Among poor-PS patients with EGFR mutations, 135 (78.9%) of whom were treated with EGFR-TKI had an OS of 15.5 (12.7-18.3) months, while those receiving only supportive care had an OS of 2.5 (1.4-3.6) months (P < .001). Hypoalbuminemia (< 3.5 g/dL), liver metastasis, and uncommon EGFR mutations were associated with poor prognosis. CONCLUSION Poor PS at diagnosis was rare and associated with limited EGFR-TKI efficacy and a dismal prognosis. Liver metastasis and hypoalbuminemia may reduce EGFR-TKI efficacy in these patients.

The Impact of Baseline Vitamin D Level in Patients Receiving Gefitinib-Directed Therapy for EGFR-Mutant Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer. Clin Med Insights Oncol 2024; 18:11795549241254460. [PMID: 38827521 PMCID: PMC11143802 DOI: 10.1177/11795549241254460] [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: 11/23/2023] [Accepted: 04/23/2024] [Indexed: 06/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Background There is contradicting evidence on vitamin D levels and cancer mortality rates. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the impact of baseline vitamin D level on the outcome in patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate (EGFR)-mutant advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who received either gefitinib or gefitinib with chemotherapy (pemetrexed and carboplatin) as first-line therapy in a prospective randomized study. Methods This was a post hoc analysis of a phase III randomized trial comparing gefitinib with gefitinib with carboplatin and pemetrexed in patients with advanced NSCLC with activating EGFR mutations in the first-line setting. As a part of regular practice, baseline vitamin D levels were measured using circulating 25(OH) levels in blood. We included 334 patients who had baseline vitamin D levels in the study and evaluated the effect of the vitamin D level on oncologic outcomes. Results There were 136 (40.7%) patients with a sufficient (>20 ng/mL) baseline vitamin D level, and 198 (59.3%) patients who were deficient in vitamin D (<20 ng/mL). The median progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with normal vitamin D levels was 17 months, whereas that in patients with deficient vitamin D levels was 15 months, with a hazard ratio of 1.45 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.03-2.06). The median overall survival (OS) in patients with normal vitamin D levels was 28.6 months, whereas that in patients with deficient vitamin D levels was 28.5 months, with a hazard ratio of 1.17 (95% CI = 0.81-1.68). On multivariate analysis, only 2 factors impacted the PFS, the baseline vitamin D level, and the treatment regimen; other factors like age, sex, disease stage, and performance status did not. Conclusions Baseline vitamin D levels have a significant impact on PFS, whereas OS is not affected by the baseline vitamin D levels on patients receiving targeted therapy for EGFR-mutant lung cancer. Trial registration The trial was prospectively registered with the Clinical Trial Registry of India, registration number CTRI/2016/08/007149. The date of the registration was 5 August 2016.

[PMID: 38794196 PMCID: PMC11124058 DOI: 10.3390/ph17050626] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2024] [Revised: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Lung cancer is a leading cause of mortality worldwide, especially among Asian patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. Initially, first-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are commonly administered as the primary treatment option; however, encountering resistance to these medications poses a significant obstacle. Hence, it has become crucial to address initial resistance and ensure continued effectiveness. Recent research has focused on the role of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in tumor drug resistance, especially lncRNA H19. β-elemene, derived from Curcuma aromatic Salisb., has shown strong anti-tumor effects. However, the relationship between β-elemene, lncRNA H19, and gefitinib resistance in NSCLC is unclear. This study aims to investigate whether β-elemene can enhance the sensitivity of gefitinib-resistant NSCLC cells to gefitinib and to elucidate its mechanism of action. The impact of gefitinib and β-elemene on cell viability was evaluated using the cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) assay. Furthermore, western blotting and qRT-PCR analysis were employed to determine the expression levels of autophagy-related proteins and genes, respectively. The influence on cellular proliferation was gauged through a colony-formation assay, and apoptosis induction was quantified via flow cytometry. Additionally, the tumorigenic potential in vivo was assessed using a xenograft model in nude mice. The expression levels of LC3B, EGFR, and Rab7 proteins were examined through immunofluorescence. Our findings elucidate that the resistance to gefitinib is intricately linked with the dysregulation of autophagy and the overexpression of lncRNA H19. The synergistic administration of β-elemene and gefitinib markedly attenuated the proliferative capacity of resistant cells, expedited apoptotic processes, and inhibited the in vivo proliferation of lung cancer. Notably, β-elemene profoundly diminished the expression of lncRNA H19 and curtailed autophagic activity in resistant cells, thereby bolstering their responsiveness to gefitinib. Moreover, β-elemene disrupted the Rab7-facilitated degradation pathway of EGFR, facilitating its repositioning to the plasma membrane. β-elemene emerges as a promising auxiliary therapeutic for circumventing gefitinib resistance in NSCLC, potentially through the regulation of lncRNA H19-mediated autophagy. The participation of Rab7 in this dynamic unveils novel insights into the resistance mechanisms operative in lung cancer, paving the way for future therapeutic innovations.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the correlation between programmed death ligand 1(PD-L1), tumor mutation burden (TMB) and the short-term efficacy and clinical characteristics of anti-PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor combination chemotherapy in NSCLC patients. The efficacy of the prediction model was evaluated. Methods A total of 220 NSCLC patients receiving first-line treatment with anti-PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor combined with chemotherapy were retrospectively collected. The primary endpoint was short-term efficacy ORR. The correlation between short-term efficacy, PD-L1, TMB, and clinical characteristics using χ2 test or t-test was evaluated. Screen the independent prognostic factors using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses, and construct a nomogram prediction model using the "rms" package in R software. Using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis to evaluate the independent Prognostic factors and the prediction model. Using decision curve analysis (DCA) to verify the superiority of the prediction model. Results The mean values of PD-L1, TMB, neutrophils, lymphocytes, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, and albumin were the highest in the ORR group, PD-L1 expression and TMB correlated with epidermal growth factor receptor expression. Multivariate analyses showed that PD-L1, TMB, and neutrophil were independent prognostic factors for ORR. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) values of the ROC constructed based on these three indicators were 0.7104, 0.7139, and 0.7131, respectively. The AUC value under the ROC of the nomogram model was 0.813. The DCA of the model showed that all three indicators used together to build the prediction model of the net return were higher than those of the single indicator prediction model. Conclusion PD-L1, TMB, and neutrophils are independent prognostic factors for short-term efficacy. The nomogram prediction model constructed using these three indicators can further improve predictive efficacy of ICIs in patients with NSCLC.

Abstract
The therapeutic effect of gefitinib on colorectal cancer (CRC) is unclear, but it has been reported that stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment may have an impact on drug sensitivity. Herein, we established a microfluidic co-culture system and explored the sensitivity of CRC cells co-cultured with cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) to gefitinib. The system consisted of a multichannel chip and a Petri dish. The chambers in the chip and dish were designed to continuously supply nutrients for long-term cell survival and create chemokine gradients for driving cell invasion without any external equipment. Using this system, the proliferation and invasiveness of cells were simultaneously evaluated by quantifying the area of cells and the migration distance of cells. In addition, the system combined with live cell workstation could evaluate the dynamic drug response of co-cultured cells and track individual cell trajectories in real-time. When CRC cells were co-cultured with CAFs, CAFs promoted CRC cell proliferation and invasion and reduced the sensitivity of cells to gefitinib through the exosomes secreted by CAFs. Furthermore, the cells that migrated out of the chip were collected, and EMT-related markers were determined by immunofluorescent and western blot assays. The results demonstrated that CAFs affected the response of CRC cells to gefitinib by inducing EMT, providing new ideas for further research on the resistance mechanism of gefitinib. This suggests that targeting CAFs or exosomes might be a new approach to enhance CRC sensitivity to gefitinib, and our system could be a novel platform for investigating the crosstalk between tumor cells and CAFs and understanding multiple biological changes of the tumor cells in the tumor microenvironment.

Abstract
Resistance to targeted therapy and immunotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a significant challenge in the treatment of this disease. The mechanisms of resistance are multifactorial and include molecular target alterations and activation of alternative pathways, tumor heterogeneity and tumor microenvironment change, immune evasion, and immunosuppression. Promising strategies for overcoming resistance include the development of combination therapies, understanding the resistance mechanisms to better use novel drug targets, the identification of biomarkers, the modulation of the tumor microenvironment and so on. Ongoing research into the mechanisms of resistance and the development of new therapeutic approaches hold great promise for improving outcomes for patients with NSCLC. Here, we summarize diverse mechanisms driving resistance to targeted therapy and immunotherapy in NSCLC and the latest potential and promising strategies to overcome the resistance to help patients who suffer from NSCLC.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the malignancy with the highest global mortality rate and imposes a substantial burden on society. The increasing popularity of lung cancer screening has led to increasing number of patients being diagnosed with pulmonary nodules due to their potential for malignancy, causing considerable distress in the affected population. However, the diagnosis and treatment of sub-centimeter grade pulmonary nodules remain controversial. The evolution of genetic detection technology and the development of targeted drugs have positioned the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer in the precision medicine era, leading to a marked improvement in the survival rate of patients with lung cancer. It has been established that lung cancer driver genes serve a key role in the development and progression of sub-centimeter lung cancer. The present review aimed to consolidate the findings on genes associated with sub-centimeter lung cancer, with the intent of serving as a reference for future studies and the personalized management of sub-centimeter lung cancer through genetic testing.

Abstract
Epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have significantly enhanced the treatment outcomes in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients harboring EGFR mutations. However, the occurrence of acquired resistance to EGFR-TKIs is an unavoidable outcome observed in these patients. Disruption of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway can contribute to the emergence of resistance to EGFR TKIs in lung cancer. The emergence of PIK3CA mutations following treatment with EGFR-TKIs can lead to resistance against EGFR-TKIs. This review provides an overview of the current perspectives regarding the involvement of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling in the development of lung cancer. Furthermore, we outline the state-of-the-art therapeutic strategies targeting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway in lung cancer. We highlight the role of PIK3CA mutation as an acquired resistance mechanism against EGFR-TKIs in EGFR-mutant NSCLC. Crucially, we explore therapeutic strategies targeting PIK3CA-mediated resistance to EGFR TKIs in lung cancer, aiming to optimize the effectiveness of treatment.

Abstract
Druggable oncogene-driven non-small cell lung cancer has led to innovative systemic treatment options, improving patients' outcome. This benefit is not only achieved in the metastatic setting but also in the postsurgical setting, such as in lung cancers harboring a common sensitizing EGFR mutation or ALK-rearrangement. To enhance the outcome of these patients, we need to understand the mechanisms of acquired resistance and evaluate the role of new drugs with novel mechanisms of action in the treatment landscape. In this chapter, we review treatment strategies of EGFR-mutant tumors in all stages, the mechanisms of acquired strategies, and novel therapies in this subset.

Abstract
Background Thyroid Dysfunction (TD) is a common immune-related adverse events (irAEs) in the treatment of advanced lung cancer with programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and programmed death 1 ligand (PD-L1) inhibitors, with incidence accounting for 6-8% of all irAEs. The incidence of TD is receiving increasing attention from clinicians, given its potential impact on clinical efficacy. However, the molecular mechanisms, biomarkers, and clinical impact of TD resulting from PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor treatment in advanced lung cancer are unclear. Objective To present a comprehensive review of current advancements in research about the molecular mechanisms, influential factors, and clinical manifestations in the treatment of advanced lung cancer with PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitors, as well as the correlation between TD and the efficacy of PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitors. Methods A systematic search was conducted using PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase and Google Scholar databases, with the keywords including thyroid dysfunction, efficacy, mechanisms, immune checkpoint inhibitors, PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors, and advanced lung cancer. Results PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors can induce T cell-mediated destructive thyroiditis, thyroid autoantibody-mediated autoimmunity, and a decrease in the number of immunosuppressive monocytes (circulating cluster of differentiation (CD)14+ human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DRlow/negatives monocytes, CD14+ HLA-DR + lo/neg), leading to TD. Several factors, including peripheral blood inflammatory markers, body mass index (BMI), baseline thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) level, gender, smoking history, hypertension, and previous opioid use, may also contribute to the development of TD. However, there is currently a lack of reliable predictive biomarkers for TD, although anti-thyroid antibodies, TSH levels, and peripheral blood inflammatory markers are expected to be predictive.Interestingly, some studies suggested a positive correlation between TD and clinical efficacy, i.e., patients experiencing TD showed better outcomes in objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS), compared with those without TD. However, most of these studies were single-center and had small sample sizes, so more multi-center studies are needed to provide further data support. Conclusion TD resulting from PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor treatment in advanced lung cancer may be associated with good clinical outcomes. The clarification of the molecular mechanisms underlying TD and the identification of reliable predictive biomarkers will guide clinicians in managing TD in this patient population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Gefitinib resistance is an urgent problem to be solved in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Tanshinone IIA (Tan IIA) is one of the main active components of Salvia miltiorrhiza, which exhibits significant antitumor effects. The aim of this study is to explore the reversal effect of Tan IIA on gefitinib resistance in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant NSCLC and the underlying mechanism. EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE CCK-8, colony formation assay, and flow cytometry were applied to detect the cytotoxicity, proliferation, and apoptosis, respectively. The changes in lipid profiles were measured by electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (MS)/MS. Western blot, real-time q-PCR, and immunohistochemical were used to detect the protein and the corresponding mRNA levels. The in vivo antitumor effect was validated by the xenograft mouse model. KEY RESULTS Co-treatment of Tan IIA enhanced the sensitivity of resistant NSCLC cells to gefitinib. Mechanistically, Tan IIA could downregulate the expression of sterol regulatory element binding protein 1 (SREBP1) and its downstream target genes, causing changes in lipid profiles, thereby reversing the gefitinib-resistance in EGFR-mutant NSCLC cells in vitro and in vivo. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Tan IIA improved gefitinib sensitivity via SREBP1-mediated lipogenesis. Tan IIA could be a potential candidate to enhance sensitivity for gefitinib-resistant NSCLC patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE We report CNS efficacy of first-line osimertinib plus chemotherapy versus osimertinib monotherapy in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) from the phase III FLAURA2 study according to baseline CNS metastasis status. METHODS Patients were randomly assigned to osimertinib plus platinum-pemetrexed (combination) or osimertinib monotherapy until disease progression or discontinuation. Brain scans were performed in all patients at baseline and progression and at scheduled assessments until progression for patients with baseline CNS metastases; scans were assessed by neuroradiologist CNS blinded independent central review (BICR). RESULTS On the basis of baseline CNS BICR, 118 of 279 (combination) and 104 of 278 (monotherapy) randomly assigned patients had ≥one measurable and/or nonmeasurable CNS lesion and were included in the CNS full analysis set (cFAS); 40 of 118 and 38 of 104 had ≥one measurable target CNS lesion and were included in the post hoc CNS evaluable-for-response set (cEFR). In the cFAS, the hazard ratio (HR) for CNS progression or death was 0.58 (95% CI, 0.33 to 1.01). In patients without baseline CNS metastases, the HR for CNS progression or death was 0.67 (95% CI, 0.43 to 1.04). In the cFAS, CNS objective response rates (ORRs; 95% CI) were 73% (combination; 64 to 81) versus 69% (monotherapy; 59 to 78); 59% versus 43% had CNS complete response (CR). In the cEFR, CNS ORRs (95% CI) were 88% (73 to 96) versus 87% (72 to 96); 48% versus 16% had CNS CR. CONCLUSION Osimertinib plus platinum-pemetrexed demonstrated improved CNS efficacy compared with osimertinib monotherapy, including delaying CNS progression, irrespective of baseline CNS metastasis status. These data support this combination as a new first-line treatment for patients with EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC, including those with CNS metastases.

Abstract
Background Studies of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in resectable non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have been conducted. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the benefits of osimertinib as neoadjuvant therapy for resectable EGFR-mutated NSCLC. Method This retrospective study evaluated patients with EGFR mutations in exon 19 or 21 who received targeted therapy with osimertinib (80 mg per day) before surgery between January 2019 and October 2023 in Henan Cancer Hospital. Results Twenty patients were evaluated, all of whom underwent surgery. The rate of R0 resection was 100% (20/20). The objective response rate was 80% (16/20), and the disease control rate was 95% (19/20). Postoperative pathological analysis showed a 25% (5/20) major pathological response rate and 15% (3/20) pathological complete response rate. In total, 25% (5/20) developed adverse events (AEs), and the rate of grades 3-4 AEs was 10% (2/20). One patient experienced a grade 3 skin rash, and 1 patient experienced grade 3 diarrhea. Conclusion Osimertinib as neoadjuvant therapy for resectable EGFR-mutated NSCLC is safe and well tolerated. Osimertinib has the potential to improve the radical resection rate and prognosis.

[PMID: 38347643 PMCID: PMC10863183 DOI: 10.1186/s40364-024-00566-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2023] [Accepted: 01/17/2024] [Indexed: 02/15/2024] Open
Abstract
Lung cancer ranks among the most common cancers world-wide and is the first cancer-related cause of death. The classification of lung cancer has evolved tremendously over the past two decades. Today, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), particularly lung adenocarcinoma, comprises a multitude of molecular oncogenic subsets that change both the prognosis and management of disease.Since the first targeted oncogenic alteration identified in 2004, with the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), there has been unprecedented progress in identifying and targeting new molecular alterations. Almost two decades of experience have allowed scientists to elucidate the biological function of oncogenic drivers and understand and often overcome the molecular basis of acquired resistance mechanisms. Today, targetable molecular alterations are identified in approximately 60% of lung adenocarcinoma patients in Western populations and 80% among Asian populations. Oncogenic drivers are largely enriched among non-smokers, east Asians, and younger patients, though each alteration has its own patient phenotype.The current landscape of druggable molecular targets includes EGFR, anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B (BRAF), ROS proto-oncogene 1 (ROS1), Kirstin rat sarcoma virus (KRAS), human epidermal receptor 2 (HER2), c-MET proto-oncogene (MET), neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase (NTRK), rearranged during transfection (RET), neuregulin 1 (NRG1). In addition to these known targets, others including Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3K) and fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) have garnered significant attention and are the subject of numerous ongoing trials.In this era of personalized, precision medicine, it is of paramount importance to identify known or potential oncogenic drivers in each patient. The development of targeted therapy is mirrored by diagnostic progress. Next generation sequencing offers high-throughput, speed and breadth to identify molecular alterations in entire genomes or targeted regions of DNA or RNA. It is the basis for the identification of the majority of current druggable alterations and offers a unique window into novel alterations, and de novo and acquired resistance mechanisms.In this review, we discuss the diagnostic approach in advanced NSCLC, focusing on current oncogenic driver alterations, through their pathophysiology, management, and future perspectives. We also explore the shortcomings and hurdles encountered in this rapidly evolving field.

Abstract
Treatment with 3 years of adjuvant osimertinib is considered a new standard in patients with completely resected stage I to IIIA NSCLC harboring a common sensitizing EGFR mutation. This therapeutic approach significantly prolonged the disease-free survival and the overall survival versus placebo and revealed a significant role in preventing the occurrence of brain metastases. However, many unanswered questions remain, including the optimal duration of this therapy, whether all patients benefit from adjuvant osimertinib, and the role of adjuvant chemotherapy in this population. Indeed, there is a renewed interest in neoadjuvant strategies with targeted therapies in resectable NSCLC harboring oncogenic drivers. In light of these considerations, we discuss the past and current treatment options, and the clinical challenges that should be addressed to optimize the treatment outcomes in this patient population.

Abstract
The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a critical tumor invasion and metastasis process. EMT enables tumor cells to migrate, detach from their original location, enter the circulation, circulate within it, and eventually exit from blood arteries to colonize in foreign sites, leading to the development of overt metastases, ultimately resulting in death. EMT is intimately tied to stromal cells around the tumor and is controlled by a range of cytokines secreted by stromal cells. This review summarizes recent research on stromal cell-mediated EMT in tumor invasion and metastasis. We also discuss the effects of various stromal cells on EMT induction and focus on the molecular mechanisms by which several significant stromal cells convert from foes to friends of cancer cells to fuel EMT processes via their secretions in the tumor microenvironment (TME). As a result, a better knowledge of the role of stromal cells in cancer cells' EMT may pave the path to cancer eradication.

Abstract
CD81 is a cell surface transmembrane protein of the tetraspanin family, which critically regulates signal transduction and immune response. Growing evidence has shown that CD81 plays important roles in tumorigenesis and influences immunotherapy response. Here, combining bio-informatics and functional analysis, we find that CD81 is a risk factor in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), whereas a protective factor in lung adenocarcinoma. In LUSC with high expression of CD81, the autophagy and JAK-STAT signaling pathway are activated. Meanwhile, the expression level of CD81 is negatively correlated with tumor mutational load (TMB), microsatellite instability (MSI), and neoantigen (NEO). Furthermore, patients with LUSC and high expression of CD81 do not respond to immunotherapy drugs, but can respond to chemotherapy drugs. Importantly, depletion of CD81 suppresses the proliferation of LUSC cell, and enhances the sensitivity to cisplatin. Our findings suggest that CD81 represents a potential target for cisplatin-based chemotherapy in patients with LUSC.

Abstract
Patients with metastatic epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are widely treated with osimertinib, the preferred first-line treatment option. However, disease progression inevitably occurs, driven by EGFR-dependent or EGFR-independent mechanisms of resistance. Platinum-based chemotherapy is the recommended treatment following progression with osimertinib but responses to platinum-based chemotherapy are transient. Salvage therapies, which are used after progression on platinum-based chemotherapy, have poor clinical outcomes in addition to substantial toxicity. In this podcast, we discuss the current treatment landscape and emerging therapeutic options for patients with metastatic EGFR-mutated NSCLC whose disease has progressed following treatment with osimertinib and platinum-based chemotherapy.Podcast audio available for this article.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osimertinib is a third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) that is selective for EGFR-TKI-sensitizing and EGFR T790M resistance mutations. Evidence suggests that the addition of chemotherapy may extend the benefits of EGFR-TKI therapy. METHODS In this phase 3, international, open-label trial, we randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio patients with EGFR-mutated (exon 19 deletion or L858R mutation) advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who had not previously received treatment for advanced disease to receive osimertinib (80 mg once daily) with chemotherapy (pemetrexed [500 mg per square meter of body-surface area] plus either cisplatin [75 mg per square meter] or carboplatin [pharmacologically guided dose]) or to receive osimertinib monotherapy (80 mg once daily). The primary end point was investigator-assessed progression-free survival. Response and safety were also assessed. RESULTS A total of 557 patients underwent randomization. Investigator-assessed progression-free survival was significantly longer in the osimertinib-chemotherapy group than in the osimertinib group (hazard ratio for disease progression or death, 0.62; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.49 to 0.79; P<0.001). At 24 months, 57% (95% CI, 50 to 63) of the patients in the osimertinib-chemotherapy group and 41% (95% CI, 35 to 47) of those in the osimertinib group were alive and progression-free. Progression-free survival as assessed according to blinded independent central review was consistent with the primary analysis (hazard ratio, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.48 to 0.80). An objective (complete or partial) response was observed in 83% of the patients in the osimertinib-chemotherapy group and in 76% of those in the osimertinib group; the median response duration was 24.0 months (95% CI, 20.9 to 27.8) and 15.3 months (95% CI, 12.7 to 19.4), respectively. The incidence of grade 3 or higher adverse events from any cause was higher with the combination than with monotherapy - a finding driven by known chemotherapy-related adverse events. The safety profile of osimertinib plus pemetrexed and a platinum-based agent was consistent with the established profiles of the individual agents. CONCLUSIONS First-line treatment with osimertinib-chemotherapy led to significantly longer progression-free survival than osimertinib monotherapy among patients with EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC.

Front-line therapy for brain metastases and non-brain metastases in advanced epidermal growth factor receptor-mutated non-small cell lung cancer: a network meta-analysis. Chin Med J (Engl) 2023; 136:2551-2561. [PMID: 37160733 PMCID: PMC10617931 DOI: 10.1097/cm9.0000000000002468] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2023] [Indexed: 05/11/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The brain is a common metastatic site in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), resulting in a relatively poor prognosis. Systemic therapy with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is recommended as the first-line treatment for EGFR -mutated, advanced NSCLC patients. However, intracranial activity varies in different drugs. Thus, brain metastasis (BM) should be considered when choosing the treatment regimens. We conducted this network meta-analysis to explore the optimal first-line therapeutic schedule for advanced EGFR -mutated NSCLC patients with different BM statuses. METHODS Randomized controlled trials focusing on EGFR-TKIs (alone or in combination) in advanced and EGFR -mutant NSCLC patients, who have not received systematic treatment, were systematically searched up to December 2021. We extracted and analyzed progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). A network meta-analysis was performed with the Bayesian statistical model to determine the survival outcomes of all included therapy regimens using the R software. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to compare intervention measures, and overall rankings of therapies were estimated under the Bayesian framework. RESULTS This analysis included 17 RCTs with 5077 patients and 12 therapies, including osimertinib + bevacizumab, aumolertinib, osimertinib, afatinib, dacomitinib, standards of care (SoC, including gefitinib, erlotinib, or icotinib), SoC + apatinib, SoC + bevacizumab, SoC + ramucirumab, SoC + pemetrexed based chemotherapy (PbCT), PbCT, and pemetrexed free chemotherapy (PfCT). For patients with BM, SoC + PbCT improved PFS compared with SoC (HR = 0.40, 95% CI: 0.17-0.95), and osimertinib + bevacizumab was most likely to rank first in PFS, with a cumulative probability of 34.5%, followed by aumolertinib, with a cumulative probability of 28.3%. For patients without BM, osimertinib + bevacizumab, osimertinib, aumolertinib, SoC + PbCT, dacomitinib, SoC + ramucirumab, SoC + bevacizumab, and afatinib showed superior efficacy compared with SoC (HR = 0.43, 95% CI: 0.20-0.90; HR = 0.46, 95% CI: 0.31-0.68; HR = 0.51, 95% CI: 0.34-0.77; HR = 0.50, 95% CI: 0.38-0.66; HR = 0.62, 95% CI: 0.43-0.89; HR = 0.64, 95% CI: 0.44-0.94; HR = 0.61, 95% CI: 0.48-0.76; HR = 0.71, 95% CI: 0.50-1.00), PbCT (HR = 0.29, 95% CI: 0.11-0.74; HR = 0.31, 95% CI: 0.15-0.62; HR = 0.34, 95% CI: 0.17-0.69; HR = 0.34, 95% CI: 0.18-0.64; HR = 0.42, 95% CI: 0.21-0.82; HR = 0.43, 95% CI: 0.22-0.87; HR = 0.41, 95% CI: 0.22-0.74; HR = 0.48, 95% CI: 0.31-0.75), and PfCT (HR = 0.14, 95% CI: 0.06-0.32; HR = 0.15, 95% CI: 0.09-0.26; HR = 0.17, 95% CI: 0.09-0.29; HR = 0.16, 95% CI: 0.10-0.26; HR = 0.20, 95% CI: 0.12-0.35; HR = 0.21, 95% CI: 0.12-0.39; HR = 0.20, 95% CI: 0.12-0.31; HR = 0.23, 95% CI: 0.16-0.34) in terms of PFS. And, SoC + apatinib showed relatively superior PFS when compared with PbCT (HR = 0.44, 95% CI: 0.22-0.92) and PfCT (HR = 0.21, 95% CI: 0.12-0.39), but similar PFS to SoC (HR = 0.65, 95% CI: 0.42-1.03). No statistical differences were observed for PFS in patients without BM between PbCT and SoC (HR = 1.49, 95% CI: 0.84-2.64), but both showed favorable PFS when compared with PfCT (PfCT vs. SoC, HR = 3.09, 95% CI: 2.06-4.55; PbCT vs. PfCT, HR = 0.14, 95% CI: 0.06-0.32). For patients without BM, osimertinib + bevacizumab was most likely to rank the first, with cumulative probabilities of 47.1%. For OS, SoC + PbCT was most likely to rank first in patients with and without BM, with cumulative probabilities of 46.8%, and 37.3%, respectively. CONCLUSION Osimertinib + bevacizumab is most likely to rank first in PFS in advanced EGFR -mutated NSCLC patients with or without BM, and SoC + PbCT is most likely to rank first in OS.

Abstract
Receptor-interacting protein kinase 2 (RIPK2) belongs to the receptor-interacting protein family (RIPs), which is mainly distributed in the cytoplasm. RIPK2 is widely expressed in human tissues, and its mRNA level is highly expressed in the spleen, leukocytes, placenta, testis, and heart. RIPK2 is a dual-specificity kinase with multiple domains, which can interact with tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR), and participate in the Toll-like receptor (TLR) and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD) signaling pathways. It is considered as a vital adapter molecule involved in the innate immunity, adaptive immunity, and apoptosis. Functionally, RIPK2 and its targeted small molecules are of great significance in inflammatory responses, autoimmune diseases and tumors. The present study reviews the molecule structure and biological functions of RIPK2, and its correlation between human diseases. In addition, we focus on the structure-activity relationship of small molecule inhibitors of RIPK2 and their therapeutic potential in human diseases.

Abstract
The significance of EGFR targeted therapy in the lung adenocarcinoma is paramount. Several controlled clinical trials have reported considerable survival of EGFR mutation positive patients on receiving the EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). However, the real-world evidence of benefits of EGFR TKI would be further useful to understand how the designated therapeutic regimen benefits the patients. In this study, we report a decade long real-world evidence of EGFR molecular testing in lung cancer at Tata Memorial Hospital (Mumbai, India). Laboratory and hospital records containing basic demographic details, clinical characteristics, treatment regimen, survival outcome were collected retrospectively. Statistical association and survival analysis were performed using the R programming. The cohort includes 9,053 lung cancer patients tested for EGFR mutations during 2011 to 2019. Baseline T790M and compound mutations were the only mutations observed co-occurring while all other EGFR mutations were mutually exclusive. Furthermore, the baseline T790M were also observed to be associated with TTF1 positivity, smoking and local metastasis. Overall survival of the patients harboring co-occurring compound mutations was significantly lesser than the other EGFR positive patients. Overall, our study suggests that EGFR TKI may provide real-world benefit to the lung cancer patients harboring mutually exclusive EGFR mutations. On the other hand, further systematic study is essential to develop better therapeutic regimen for co-occurring baseline EGFR T790M and other compound mutations.

Abstract
Lung cancer (LC) is associated with ageing, with the average age of affected individuals being approximately 70 years. However, despite a higher incidence and prevalence among older people, the older adult population is underrepresented in clinical trials. For LC with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) mutations, there is no clear association of this mutation with age. Geriatric assessments (GAs) and a multidisciplinary approach are essential for defining the optimal treatment. In this consensus, a group of experts selected from the Oncogeriatrics Section of the Spanish Society of Medical Oncology (Sección de Oncogeriatría de la Sociedad Española de Oncología Médica-SEOM), the Spanish Lung Cancer Group (Grupo Español de Cáncer de Pulmón-GECP) and the Association for Research on Lung Cancer in Women (Asociación para la Investigación del Cáncer de Pulmón en Mujeres-ICAPEM) evaluate the scientific evidence currently available and propose a series of recommendations to optimize the management of older adult patients with advanced LC with EGFR mutations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND How concurrent TP53 mutations affect targeted therapy of advanced Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) mutant lung adenocarcinoma remains controversial, particularly the deep classification of TP53 mutations. METHODS This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of advanced EGFR mutant lung adenocarcinoma patients treated with EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University. The survival rates were compared using Log-rank tests. Potential prognostic factors were identified using multivariate Cox hazard regression models. RESULTS Total 156 advanced lung adenocarcinoma patients treated with EGFR-TKIs were included in this study. Multivariate analysis showed that male [hazard rate (HR): 1.537, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.055-2.240, P = 0.025], brain metastasis (HR: 1.707, 95%CI: 1.086-2.682, P = 0.020) and concurrent TP53 mutations (HR: 1.569, 95%CI: 1.051-2.341, P = 0.028) were independent negative predictors of progression-free survival (PFS). EGFR L858R mutations (HR: 2.475, 95%CI: 1.443-4.248, p = 0.001), smoking history (HR: 2.530, 95%CI: 1.352-4.733, P = 0.004) and concurrent TP53 mutations (HR: 2.326, 95%CI: 1.283-4.218, P = 0.005) were associated with worse survival. Further analysis revealed that mutations in TP53 exons 4, 5 and 8 (P<0.05), missense mutations (P = 0.006) and nondisruptive mutations (P<0.001) were associated with shorter PFS, whereas mutations in TP53 exons 5 and 7 (P<0.05), missense mutations and non-missense mutations (P = 0.006; P = 0.007), disruptive mutations and nondisruptive mutations (P = 0.013; P = 0.013) were all associated with poorer survival times. In addition, the PFS and overall survival (OS) of nondisruptive mutations in exon 7 were worse than those in other exons (P = 0.041; P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Concurrent TP53 mutations conferred worse EGFR-TKIs efficacy and prognosis in advanced EGFR mutant lung adenocarcinoma and the effects of different TP53 mutation types were heterogeneous.

Abstract
For a majority of patients with non-small cell lung cancer with EGFR mutations, treatment with EGFR inhibitors (EGFRi) induces a clinical response. Despite this initial reduction in tumor size, residual disease persists that leads to disease relapse. Elucidating the preexisting biological differences between sensitive cells and surviving drug-tolerant persister cells and deciphering how drug-tolerant cells evolve in response to treatment could help identify strategies to improve the efficacy of EGFRi. In this study, we tracked the origins and clonal evolution of drug-tolerant cells at a high resolution by using an expressed barcoding system coupled with single-cell RNA sequencing. This platform enabled longitudinal profiling of gene expression and drug sensitivity in response to EGFRi across a large number of clones. Drug-tolerant cells had higher expression of key survival pathways such as YAP and EMT at baseline and could also differentially adapt their gene expression following EGFRi treatment compared with sensitive cells. In addition, drug combinations targeting common downstream components (MAPK) or orthogonal factors (chemotherapy) showed greater efficacy than EGFRi alone, which is attributable to broader targeting of the heterogeneous EGFRi-tolerance mechanisms present in tumors. Overall, this approach facilitates thorough examination of clonal evolution in response to therapy that could inform the development of improved diagnostic approaches and treatment strategies for targeting drug-tolerant cells. SIGNIFICANCE The evolution and heterogeneity of EGFR inhibitor tolerance are identified in a large number of clones at enhanced cellular and temporal resolution using an expressed barcode technology coupled with single-cell RNA sequencing.

J Cancer Res Clin Oncol 2023; 149:12265-12274. [PMID: 37434091 DOI: 10.1007/s00432-023-05104-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2023] [Accepted: 06/30/2023] [Indexed: 07/13/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The efficacy of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) was affected by numerous factors. In the study, we developed and validated an artificial neural network (ANN) system based on clinical characteristics and next-generation sequencing (NGS) to support clinical decisions. METHODS A multicenter retrospective non-interventional study was conducted. 240 patients from three hospitals with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and EGFR mutation were tested by NGS before the first treatment. All patients received formal EGFR-TKIs treatment. Five different models were individually trained to predict the efficacy of EGFR-TKIs based on one medical center with 188 patients. Two independent cohorts from other medical centers were collected for external validation. RESULTS Compared with logistic regression, four machine learning methods showed better predicting abilities for EGFR-TKIs. The inclusion of NGS tests improved the predictive power of models. ANN performed best on the dataset with mutations TP53, RB1, PIK3CA, EGFR mutation sites, and tumor mutation burden (TMB). The prediction accuracy, recall and AUC were 0.82, 0.82, and 0.82, respectively in our final model. In the external validation set, ANN still showed good performance and differentiated patients with poor outcomes. Finally, a clinical decision support software based on ANN was developed and provided a visualization interface for clinicians. CONCLUSION This study provides an approach to assess the efficacy of NSCLC patients with first-line EGFR-TKI treatment. Software is developed to support clinical decisions.

SQLE Knockdown inhibits bladder cancer progression by regulating the PTEN/AKT/GSK3β signaling pathway through P53. Cancer Cell Int 2023; 23:221. [PMID: 37770925 PMCID: PMC10540347 DOI: 10.1186/s12935-023-02997-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2023] [Accepted: 07/19/2023] [Indexed: 09/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Bladder cancer (BCa) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. However, the lack of accurate and effective targeted drugs has become a major problem in current clinical treatment of BCa. Studies have demonstrated that squalene epoxidase (SQLE), as a key rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis, is involved in cancer development. In this study, our analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas, The Genotype-Tissue Expression, and Gene Expression Omnibus databases showed that SQLE expression was significantly higher in cancer tissues than it was in adjacent normal tissues, and BCa tissues with a high SQLE expression displayed a poor prognosis. We then confirmed this result in qRT-PCR and immunohistochemical staining experiments, and our vitro studies demonstrated that SQLE knockdown inhibited tumor cell proliferation and metastasis through the PTEN/AKT/GSK3β signaling pathway. By means of rescue experiments, we proved that that P53 is a key molecule in SQLE-mediated regulation of the PTEN/AKT/GSK3β signaling pathway. Simultaneously, we verified the above findings through a tumorigenesis experiment in nude mice. In conclusion, our study shows that SQLE promotes BCa growth through the P53/PTEN/AKT/GSK3β axis, which may serve as a therapeutic biological target for BCa.

Randomized, open-label phase II study of brigatinib and carboplatin plus pemetrexed and brigatinib alone for chemotherapy-naive patients with ALK-rearranged non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer: treatment rationale and protocol design of the B-DASH study (WJOG 14720 L). BMC Cancer 2023; 23:902. [PMID: 37749521 PMCID: PMC10519075 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-023-11417-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2023] [Accepted: 09/18/2023] [Indexed: 09/27/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The ALTA-1L study compared brigatinib with crizotinib in untreated ALK-rearranged non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, demonstrating the efficacy of brigatinib. Although the median progression-free survival (PFS) of brigatinib group was 24.0 months, the one-year PFS rate was 70%. In the NEJ009 study, patients with EGFR mutations showed improved outcomes with gefitinib plus chemotherapy compared with gefitinib monotherapy. To evaluate the efficacy of the combination of brigatinib with chemotherapy for patients with ALK-rearranged NSCLC, we designed B-DASH study (WJOG 14720L). METHODS B-DASH study is a multicenter, two-arm, phase II study. Eligible patients have untreated stage IIIB, stage IIIC, stage IV, or postoperative relapse ALK-rearranged nonsquamous NSCLC. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive brigatinib (180 mg once daily with a 7-day lead-in period at 90 mg) monotherapy or carboplatin (area under the curve = 5 on day 1) plus pemetrexed (500 mg/m2 on day 1) and brigatinib in a 3-week cycle for up to four cycles, followed by pemetrexed and brigatinib as maintenance therapy. The target hazard ratio of 0.62 is set based on the NEJ009 study. With one-sided alpha = 0.20 and power = 0.8, the sample size for the B-DASH study was calculated to be 110, considering the possibility of patients dropping out. The primary endpoint is PFS. The key secondary endpoints are the overall response rate and overall survival. We will evaluate tumor-derived DNA from plasma specimens before treatment, 42 days after administering the study drug, and on the day of progressive disease. Recruitment began in November 2021 and is ongoing. DISCUSSION The efficacy of combination therapy with tyrosine kinase inhibitors and cytotoxic chemotherapy was demonstrated in patients with EGFR mutations but remains unclear in patients with ALK-rearranged NSCLC. The B-DASH study is the only trial of brigatinib combined with chemotherapy in patients with untreated ALK-rearranged NSCLC. TRIAL REGISTRATION jRCT identifier: jRCTs041210103.

Abstract
The current landscape of targeted therapies directed against oncogenic driver alterations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is expanding. Patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC can derive significant benefit from EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy, including the third-generation EGFR TKI osimertinib. However, invariably, all patients will experience disease progression with this therapy mainly due to the adaptation of cancer cells through primary or secondary molecular mechanisms of resistance. The comprehension and access to tissue and cell-free DNA next-generation sequencing have fueled the development of innovative therapeutic strategies to prevent and overcome resistance to osimertinib in the clinical setting. Herein, we review the biological and clinical implications of molecular mechanisms of osimertinib resistance and the ongoing development of therapeutic strategies to overcome or prevent resistance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Currently, the therapies for brain metastases of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) mainly include whole brain radiotherapy and icotinib. For exploring the efficacy and safety of radiotherapy and icotinib, a meta-analysis was performed based on a series of data. METHOD A systematic search was performed on PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Wanfang Database. The search time was set from the database establishment to December, 2022. All randomized controlled trials evaluating the efficacy and safety of whole brain radiotherapy alone or in combination with icotinib for whole brain metastases of NSCLC were included in our meta-analysis. Clinical outcomes and adverse reactions were analyzed using Stata17.0 software. RESULTS Finally, 10 clinical studies were enrolled in this meta-analysis, including 717 patients. Briefly, compared with radiotherapy alone, icotinib combined with radiotherapy increased response rate [relative ratio (RR) = 1.240; 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.141, 1.348); P < .001] and disease control rate (RR = 1.240, 95% CI [1.141,1.348], P < .001). Besides, according to the outcomes of adverse reaction assessment exhibited, there were no significant differences between the 2 group patients in the incidence of rash (RR = 1.536, 95% CI [0.694, 3.402], P = .290), adverse reaction in gastrointestinal tract (RR = 1.060, 95% CI [0.792, 1.419], P = 1.419), hepatic injury (RR = 1.541, 95% CI [0.798,2.975], P = .198) and leukopenia (RR = 1.182, 95% CI [0.787, 1.777], P = .421). However, the patients receiving combination treatment showed much longer progression free survival than those receiving radiotherapy alone (standardized mean difference = 1.559; 95% CI [0.699, 2.419]; P < .001). CONCLUSION Icotinib combined with radiotherapy can significantly short-term and long-term efficacy of NSCLC patients with brain metastases but not increase adverse reactions.

Abstract
The identification of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) mutations in lung adenocarcinoma has facilitated the development of personalized medicine based on oncogenic drivers. EGFR-Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs) are part of the targeted therapy; they impede the phosphorylation of the intracellular tyrosine kinase component of EGFR and consequently block signal transduction pathways. These drugs inhibit the proliferation and survival of tumor cells, leading to long-term progression-free survival and overall survival. Diarrhea is one of the most frequent adverse events associated with EGFR-TKIs, affecting at least 18% of patients and reaching up to 95% in some cases. Diarrhea should be managed carefully given its association with important complications, treatment interruptions, and dose reductions. Moreover, nutritional status and quality of life (QoL) can deteriorate due to severe diarrhea. Changes in diet, such as increment of fiber, supplementation with glutamine, and use of probiotics, may contribute to a decrease in the incidence of diarrhea. Improving the control of diarrhea can provide a significant benefit to the QoL of patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) are usually considered the highest level of evidence for clinical practice. Patients assigned to control arm in RCTs should always receive the best available treatments to protect participants while also allowing for proper interpretation and applicability of study results. Here we analysed RCTs published in oncology between 2017 and 2021 to describe the frequency of suboptimal control arms. METHODS We identified phase III studies testing active treatments in patients with solid tumours among 11 major oncology journals. Each control arm was analysed, and the standard of care was determined according to international guidelines and scientific evidence at accrual beginning and until accrual completion. We identified studies with suboptimal control arm from the beginning (type 1) and studies with an initially optimal control arm which became outdated during the accrual period (type 2). RESULTS This analysis included 387 studies. Forty-three (11.1%) control arms were judged as suboptimal: 24 (6.2%) type 1 and 19 (4.9%) type 2. These rates were higher in industry-sponsored compared to academic trials: 9.3% versus 1.9% for type 1 (p = 0.003); 7.9% versus 0.6% for type 2 (p = 0.001). Rates of suboptimal control arms were higher in studies with positive results: 8.1% versus 4.0% for type 1 (p = 0.09); 7.6% versus 1.7% for type 2 (p = 0.007). CONCLUSIONS Many trials have suboptimal control arms, even in journals with high-impact factors, leading to suboptimal treatment of control patients and biased evaluation of trial results.

Comparison of the efficacy and safety of first-line treatments for of advanced EGFR mutation-positive non-small-cell lung cancer in Asian populations: a systematic review and network meta-analysis. Front Pharmacol 2023; 14:1212313. [PMID: 37484016 PMCID: PMC10358853 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2023.1212313] [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: 04/26/2023] [Accepted: 06/21/2023] [Indexed: 07/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: According to the 2023 guidelines for treating non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), first-line treatment and recently developed agents for the treatment of epidermal growth factor (EGFR) mutation-positive locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC were compared in this meta-analysis. Treatment regimens involved in the included studies included first, second, and third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), TKIs plus chemotherapy, TKIs plus angiogenesis inhibitors, and platinum-containing doublet chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab. Considering the varying efficacy and safety of drugs in people of different ethnic origins, the optimal regimen should be determined, and the safety of first-line treatments should be assessed in the Asian population specifically. Methods: PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) were systematically searched to retrieve reports on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with research data published from inception to 1 February 2023. Adopting Asian patient populations as the target (including studies in which Asian patients accounted for more than 50% of the sample), a network meta-analysis (NMA) was conducted for comparison of treatment regimens and treatments were ranked based on the surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA). Results: A total of 19 RCTs involving 5,824 patients and covering 14 treatment regimens were included. The primary outcome measure examined in this study was progression-free survival (PFS); other outcome measures examined were overall survival (OS), disease control rate (DCR), objective response rate (ORR), occurrence of any adverse events (AE), occurrence of adverse events of grade 3 or above (≥3AE), and occurrence of serious adverse events (SAE). In terms of PFS, all regimens including TKIs (as a monotherapy or in combination with other therapies), as well as bevacizumab (Bev) plus chemotherapy (Ch) were found to be significantly superior to basic chemotherapy (HRs: 0.09-0.61, p < 0.05 in all cases compared with Ch alone). The highest-ranking therapies were erlotinib (Erl) plus Bev (SUCRA: 0.94) and Erl plus ramucirumab (Ram) (SUCRA: 0.93). Regarding OS, no significant differences was observed between first-line treatment strategies; the top four treatments based on SUCRA, in rank order, were Bev + Ch (0.87), gefitinib (Gef) plus Ch (0.81), dacomitinib (Dac) (0.79), and osimertinib (Osi) (0.69). Additionally, there were no significant differences between first-line treatment strategies in terms of DCR. Regarding ORR, the top three treatments based on SUCRA were Erl + Bev (0.85), Erl + Ram (0.76), and Gef + Ch (0.74). No significant difference between first-line treatment strategies was observed in terms of the risk of AE. However, based on SUCRA, Erl ranked highest on avoidance of ≥ 3AE (0.97), and Osi ranked highest on avoidance of SAE (0.91). Conclusion: Based on these analyses of survival benefits, tumor burden response, and safety, furmonertinib (Fur), Osi, and aumolertinib (Aum) may represent the best treatment regimen options for Asian patients, significantly prolonging survival (as measured by median PFS/OS), eliciting a greater tumor burden response, and exposing patients to a lower risk of adverse events. Although Erl + Bev and Erl + Ram are associated with the best survival benefits in terms of PFS, further clinical studies are still needed to identify ways to reduce the risk of adverse events.

Efficacy observation and prognosis analysis of EGFR-TKIs alone versus EGFR-TKIs plus chemotherapy in advanced lung adenocarcinoma with EGFR Exon 19 Deletion, Exon 21 L858R mutation: A historical cohort study. Medicine (Baltimore) 2023; 102:e34110. [PMID: 37390279 PMCID: PMC10313250 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000034110] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2022] [Accepted: 06/05/2023] [Indexed: 07/02/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical efficacy and determine the prognostic value of Epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKIs) alone versus EGFR-TKIs plus chemotherapy for the treatment of advanced lung adenocarcinoma with EGFR Exon 19 Deletion(19Del), Exon 21 L858R (L858R) mutation. The demographic and clinical characteristics of 110 newly diagnosed metastatic lung adenocarcinoma patients with the EGFR 19Del, L858R mutation from June 2016 to October 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Total remission rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), median progression-free survival (mPFS), and patient 1-year/2-year survival between EGFR-TKIs combined with first-line platinum-containing double-drug chemotherapy (Observation) group and an EGFR-TKIs alone (Control) group were evaluated and analyzed. For lung adenocarcinoma patients with the EGFR 19Del, L858R mutation, the Observation group had a better ORR (81.4% vs 52.2%), mPFS (12.0 vs 9 months), and 2-year survival (72.1% vs 52.2%) than the Control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P < .05), but DCR (95.3% vs 88.1%) and 1-year survival (90.7% vs 83.6%) were not significantly different between the groups (P > .05). For lung adenocarcinoma with the EGFR 19Del mutation, the Observation group showed a better ORR (81.8% vs 54.3%), and mPFS (14.5 vs 11.0 months) than the Control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P < .05), but DCR (95.5% vs 91.4%), 1-year survival (90.9% vs 85.7%), and 2-year survival (72.7% vs 60.0%) were not significantly different (P > .05). For lung adenocarcinoma with the EGFR L858R mutation, the Observation group showed a better ORR (81.0% vs 50.0%), mPFS (12.0 vs 9.0 months), and 2-year survival (71.4% vs 43.8%) than the Control group (P < .05), but DCR (95.2% vs 84.4%) and 1-year survival (90.5% vs 81.3%) were not significantly different (P > .05). Compared to EGFR-TKIs alone, EGFR-TKIs combined with chemotherapy improved ORR and mPFS in cases of advanced lung adenocarcinoma with EGFR 19Del, L858R mutation. In particular, patients with the EGFR L858R mutation showed a long-term survival benefit trend. EGFR-TKIs combined chemotherapy may therefore be a viable treatment method for delaying targeted drug resistance.

Abstract
Lung cancer is managed using conventional therapies, including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination of both. Each of these therapies has its own limitations, such as the indiscriminate killing of normal as well as cancer cells, the solubility of the chemotherapeutic drugs, rapid clearance of the drugs from circulation before reaching the tumor site, the resistance of cancer cells to radiation, and over-sensitization of normal cells to radiation. Other treatment modalities include gene therapy, immunological checkpoint inhibitors, drug repurposing, and in situ cryo-immune engineering (ICIE) strategy. Nanotechnology has come to the rescue to overcome many shortfalls of conventional therapies. Some of the nano-formulated chemotherapeutic drugs, as well as nanoparticles and nanostructures with surface modifications, have been used for effective cancer cell killing and radio sensitization, respectively. Nano-enabled drug delivery systems act as cargo to deliver the sensitizer molecules specifically to the tumor cells, thereby enabling the radiation therapy to be more effective. In this review, we have discussed the different conventional chemotherapies and radiation therapies used for inhibiting lung cancer. We have also discussed the improvement in chemotherapy and radiation sensitization using nanoparticles.

Abstract
Adjuvant therapy with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), alone or with chemotherapy, is used for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR mutations. A Bayesian meta-analysis was conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of adjuvant EGFR-TKI and adjuvant chemotherapy plus EGFR-TKI to determine whether additional adjuvant chemotherapy is beneficial. Randomised controlled trials and retrospective comparative studies examining the efficacy of adjuvant EGFR-TKI were searched from inception to July 2022. Ten studies (1344 patients) were analysed. Disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS), and adverse events (AEs) were the endpoints. Our network meta-analysis demonstrated that EGFR-TKI monotherapy is noninferior to chemotherapy plus EGFR-TKI for DFS and OS in the adjuvant setting. However, combination treatment was associated with a higher AE incidence and severity. Adjuvant EGFR-TKI monotherapy seems a viable alternative to chemotherapy plus EGFR-TKI in patients with resected EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC.

Biomedicines 2023; 11:biomedicines11051490. [PMID: 37239162 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines11051490] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2023] [Revised: 05/11/2023] [Accepted: 05/17/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) is a first-line treatment for lung adenocarcinoma with EGFR-sensitive mutations, but acquired resistance to EGFR-TKIs remains a problem in clinical practice. The development of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a critical mechanism that induces acquired resistance to TKIs. Reversing acquired resistance to EGFR-TKIs through targeting the key molecules driving EMT provides an alternative choice for patients. We, therefore, aimed to explore the role of doublecortin-like kinase 1 (DCLK1) as an EMT driver gene in the acquired resistance of lung adenocarcinoma to EGFR-TKIs. METHODS The IC50 of Gefitinib or Osimertinib in PC9/HCC827 cells was measured using a cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) assay. The expression levels of EMT-related genes in PC9 and HCC827 cells were detected using RT-PCR and Western blot. Cell migration and invasion abilities were assessed via a transwell assay. For the in vivo experiments, PC9 cells were subcutaneously injected into BALB/c nude mice to form tumors. Upon harvesting, tumor tissues were retained for RT-PCR, Western blot, and polychromatic fluorescence staining to detect biomarker changes in the EMT process. RESULTS Gefitinib-resistant PC9 (PC9/GR) and Osimertinib-resistant HCC827 (HCC827/OR) cells showed remarkable activation of EMT and enhanced migration and invasion abilities compared to TKI-sensitive cells. In addition, DCLK1 expression was markedly increased in EGFR-TKI-resistant lung adenocarcinoma cells. The targeted knockout of DCLK1 effectively reversed the EMT phenotype in TKI-resistant cells and improved EGFR-TKI sensitivity, which was further validated by the in vivo experiments. CONCLUSIONS DCLK1 facilitates acquired resistance to EGFR-TKI in lung adenocarcinoma by inducting EMT and accelerating the migration and invasion abilities of TKI-resistant cells.

Abstract
PURPOSE EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy in EGFR-mutated lung cancer is limited by acquired resistance. In half of the patients treated with first/second-generation (1st/2nd gen) TKI, resistance is associated with EGFR p.T790M mutation. Sequential treatment with osimertinib is highly active in such patients. Currently, there is no approved targeted second-line option for patients receiving first-line osimertinib, which thus may not be the best choice for all patients. The present study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of a sequential TKI treatment with 1st/2nd gen TKI, followed by osimertinib in a real-world setting. METHODS Patients with EGFR-mutated lung cancer treated at two major comprehensive cancer centers were retrospectively analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method and log rank test. RESULTS A cohort of 150 patients, of which 133 received first-line treatment with a first/second gen EGFR TKI, and 17 received first-line osimertinib, was included. Median age was 63.9 years, 55% had ECOG performance score of ≥ 1. First-line osimertinib was associated with prolonged progression-free survival (P = 0.038). Since the approval of osimertinib (February 2016), 91 patients were under treatment with a 1st/2nd gen TKI. Median overall survival (OS) of this cohort was 39.3 months. At data cutoff, 87% had progressed. Of those, 92% underwent new biomarker analyses, revealing EGFR p.T790M in 51%. Overall, 91% of progressing patients received second-line therapy, which was osimertinib in 46%. Median OS with sequenced osimertinib was 50 months. Median OS of patients with p.T790M-negative progression was 23.4 months. CONCLUSION Real-world survival outcomes of patients with EGFR-mutated lung cancer may be superior with a sequenced TKI strategy. Predictors of p.T790M-associated resistance are needed to personalize first-line treatment decisions.

Abstract
Epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) treatment prolongs the survival of lung cancer patients harbouring activating EGFR mutations. However, resistance to EGFR-TKIs is inevitable after long-term treatment. Molecular mechanistic research is of great importance in combatting resistance. A comprehensive investigation of the molecular mechanisms underlying resistance has important implications for overcoming resistance. An accumulating body of evidence shows that lncRNAs can contribute to tumorigenesis and treatment resistance. By bioinformatics analysis, we found that LINC00969 expression was elevated in lung cancer cells with acquired gefitinib resistance. LINC00969 regulated resistance to gefitinib in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, gain of H3K4me1 and H3K27Ac led to the activation of LINC00969 expression. LINC00969 interacts with EZH2 and METTL3, transcriptionally regulates the level of H3K27me3 in the NLRP3 promoter region, and posttranscriptionally modifies the m6A level of NLRP3 in an m6A-YTHDF2-dependent manner, thus epigenetically repressing NLRP3 expression to suppress the activation of the NLRP3/caspase-1/GSDMD-related classical pyroptosis signalling pathways, thereby endowing an antipyroptotic phenotype and promoting TKI resistance in lung cancer. Our findings provide a new mechanism for lncRNA-mediated TKI resistance from the new perspective of pyroptosis via simultaneous regulation of histone methylation and RNA methylation. The pivotal role of LINC00969 gives it the potential to be a novel biomarker and therapeutic target for overcoming EGFR-TKI resistance in lung cancer.

First-Generation Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Inhibitors Plus Antiangiogenic Drugs Versus Third-Generation Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Inhibitors in Advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer: A Meta-Analysis. JCO Precis Oncol 2023; 7:e2300073.

Abstract
PURPOSE Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) revolutionized the therapeutic landscape of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, despite significant survival improvement, the emergence of resistance mechanisms represents a common event. In this meta-analysis, we compared the efficacy and safety of third-generation EGFR-TKIs, the current standard of care, to first-generation EGFR-TKIs with antiangiogenic drugs for the first-line treatment of NSCLC harboring EGFR mutations. MATERIALS AND METHODS Randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) reporting survival data published before September 1, 2022, were searched through the MEDLINE databases (PubMed), the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and Central Register of Controlled Trials (Wiley). Progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), and grade 3 or higher treatment-related adverse events (≥3 TRAEs) data were analyzed. RESULTS Twelve RCTs were included in our meta-analysis, with a total of 3,565 patients. We observed that third-generation EGFR-TKIs and first-generation EGFR-TKIs combined with antiangiogenic drugs provided a similar OS benefit over first-generation EGFR-TKIs in any of the subgroups. However, we indirectly observed a greater PFS benefit of third-generation EGFR-TKIs over first-generation EGFR-TKIs in females, never-smokers, in patients harboring exon 19 deletions, and in those with brain metastasis, as compared with using first-generation EGFR-TKIs plus antiangiogenic drugs. The ORR did not differ between the combination strategy and third-generation EGFR-TKIs. Finally, the risk of developing grade ≥3 TRAEs was higher using the combination of first-generation EGFR-TKIs and antiangiogenic drugs over first-generation EGFR-TKIs than third-generation EGFR-TKIs over first-generation EGFR-TKIs. CONCLUSION This meta-analysis suggests that the combination strategy may provide an alternative to third-generation EGFR-TKIs, but more data are needed to determine the predictive clinicopathologic characteristics that can influence the treatment choice. Until then, third-generation EGFR-TKIs still represent the first choice in advanced NSCLC harboring EGFR mutations.

Abstract
Introduction Bone metastases are frequent in patients with EGFR-mutated (EGFR+) NSCLC. Skeletal-related events (SREs) are common in these patients; however, no data on SRE in osimertinib-treated patients are reported. We investigated the development of bone metastases and SREs in patients with EGFR+ NSCLC treated with osimertinib. Methods This is a retrospective multicenter cohort study that included patients with metastatic EGFR+ NSCLC who were treated with osimertinib between February 2016 and September 2021. Demographics, bone metastases-related outcomes, SREs, treatment efficacy, and overall survival (OS) were collected. Results In total, 250 patients treated with osimertinib (43% first line) were included. Of the patients, 51% had bone metastases at initiation of osimertinib. Furthermore, 16% of the patients with bone metastases used bone-targeted agents. Median follow-up from initiation of osimertinib was 23.4 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 19.9-26.9 mo). During osimertinib treatment, 10% developed new bone metastases or bone progression. Of the patients with bone metastases, 39% had more than or equal to one SREs: 28% developed first SRE before osimertinib treatment, 1% after, and 11% during. Median OS post-bone metastasis was 30.8 months (95% CI: 21.9-39.7). Median OS after first SRE was 31.1 months (95% CI: 15.8-46.5). Conclusions Bone metastases and SREs are frequent before and during treatment with osimertinib in EGFR+ NSCLC. Because of these findings and the long OS post-bone metastases, we advocate prescription of bone-targeted agents in these patients and recommend adding bone-specific end points in clinical trials.

Central Nervous System Disease in Patients With RET Fusion-Positive NSCLC Treated With Selpercatinib. J Thorac Oncol 2023; 18:620-627. [PMID: 36657661 PMCID: PMC10122712 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtho.2023.01.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2022] [Revised: 01/02/2023] [Accepted: 01/06/2023] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Central nervous system (CNS) metastases develop in nearly half of patients with RET fusion-positive NSCLCs and cause morbidity and mortality. The selective RET inhibitor selpercatinib treats existing intracranial disease, but no studies have investigated whether early initiation of selpercatinib is associated with decreased development of CNS metastases. METHODS A total of 61 patients with RET fusion-positive advanced NSCLC with and without CNS metastases treated with selpercatinib on the LIBRETTO-001 trial (NCT03157128) or the LIBRETTO-201 expanded access program (NCT03906331) were identified. Cumulative incidence rates (CIRs) for CNS metastases were assessed as an event of interest; systemic progression of disease and death were considered competing risks. RESULTS The median age was 65 years, and the most common 5' fusion partners were KIF5B (67%) and CCDC6 (18%). There were 24 patients (39%) who received prior platinum chemotherapy and 20 patients (33%) who received prior multikinase inhibition. The median time on selpercatinib was 21.8 months. Furthermore, 30 patients (49%) had CNS disease at baseline and 31 patients (51%) had no baseline CNS disease. CIRs of CNS progression among patients with baseline CNS disease were 3% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0%-10%), 10% (95% CI: 0%-22%), 17% (3%-30%), 17% (3%-30%), and 20% (5%-35%) at 6, 12, 18, 24, and 36 months, respectively. CIR for CNS progression among patients without baseline CNS disease was 0% at 6, 12, 18, 24, and 36 months (95% CI: 0%-0%). CONCLUSIONS CNS progression was not observed with selpercatinib therapy in patients without baseline CNS disease. CNS progression on selpercatinib was rare in patients with baseline CNS disease. Early initiation of selpercatinib is associated with decreased rates of CNS metastasis formation and progression and may play a preventive role.

Circulating Tumour DNA (ctDNA) as a Predictor of Clinical Outcome in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Undergoing Targeted Therapies: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:cancers15092425. [PMID: 37173891 PMCID: PMC10177293 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15092425] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2023] [Revised: 04/16/2023] [Accepted: 04/17/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Liquid biopsy (LB) analysis using (ctDNA)/cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is an emerging alternative to tissue profiling in (NSCLC). LB is used to guide treatment decisions, detect resistance mechanisms, and predicts responses, and, therefore, outcomes. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the impact of LB quantification on clinical outcomes in molecularly altered advanced NSCLC undergoing targeted therapies. METHODS We searched Embase, MEDLINE, PubMed, and Cochrane Database, between 1 January 2020 and 31 August 2022. The primary outcome was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary outcomes included overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), sensitivity, and specificity. Age stratification was performed based on the mean age of the individual study population. The quality of studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). RESULTS A total of 27 studies (3419 patients) were included in the analysis. Association of baseline ctDNA with PFS was reported in 11 studies (1359 patients), while that of dynamic changes with PFS was reported in 16 studies (1659 patients). Baseline ctDNA-negative patients had a trend towards improved PFS (pooled hazard ratio [pHR] = 1.35; 95%CI: 0.83-1.87; p < 0.001; I2 = 96%) than ctDNA-positive patients. Early reduction/clearance of ctDNA levels after treatment was related to improved PFS (pHR = 2.71; 95%CI: 1.85-3.65; I2 = 89.4%) compared to those with no reduction/persistence in ctDNA levels. The sensitivity analysis based on study quality (NOS) demonstrated improved PFS only for good [pHR = 1.95; 95%CI: 1.52-2.38] and fair [pHR = 1.99; 95%CI: 1.09-2.89] quality studies, but not for poor quality studies. There was, however, a high level of heterogeneity (I2 = 89.4%) along with significant publication bias in our analysis. CONCLUSIONS This large systematic review, despite heterogeneity, found that baseline negative ctDNA levels and early reduction in ctDNA following treatment could be strong prognostic markers for PFS and OS in patients undergoing targeted therapies for advanced NSCLC. Future randomised clinical trials should incorporate serial ctDNA monitoring to further establish the clinical utility in advanced NSCLC management.

Front Pharmacol 2023; 14:1090500. [PMID: 37089959 PMCID: PMC10120859 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2023.1090500] [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: 11/05/2022] [Accepted: 03/28/2023] [Indexed: 04/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations are the most common oncogenic driver in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) are widely used in the treatment of lung cancer, especially in the first-line treatment of advanced NSCLC, and EGFR-TKIs monotherapy has achieved better efficacy and tolerability compared with standard chemotherapy. However, acquired resistance to EGFR-TKIs and associated adverse events pose a significant obstacle to targeted lung cancer therapy. Therefore, there is an urgent need to seek effective interventions to overcome these limitations. Natural medicines have shown potential therapeutic advantages in reversing acquired resistance to EGFR-TKIs and reducing adverse events, bringing new options and directions for EGFR-TKIs combination therapy. In this paper, we systematically demonstrated the resistance mechanism of EGFR-TKIs, the clinical strategy of each generation of EGFR-TKIs in the synergistic treatment of NSCLC, the treatment-related adverse events of EGFR-TKIs, and the potential role of traditional Chinese medicine in overcoming the resistance and adverse reactions of EGFR-TKIs. Herbs and active compounds have the potential to act synergistically through multiple pathways and multiple mechanisms of overall regulation, combined with targeted therapy, and are expected to be an innovative model for NSCLC treatment.
