Challenges and future perspectives for the use of temozolomide in the treatment of SCLC. Cancer Treat Rev 2024; 129:102798. [PMID: 38970838 DOI: 10.1016/j.ctrv.2024.102798] [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: 04/14/2024] [Revised: 06/09/2024] [Accepted: 07/02/2024] [Indexed: 07/08/2024]
Abstract
Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC), accounting for 10-20 % of all lung tumors, represents the most aggressive high-grade neuroendocrine carcinoma. Most patients are diagnosed with extensive-stage SCLC (ES-SCLC), with brian metastases identified in ∼ 80 % of cases during the disease cours, and the prognosis is dismal, with a 5-year survival rate of less than 5 %. Current available treatments in the second-line setting are limited, and topotecan has long been the only FDA-approved drug in relapsed or refractory ES-SCLC, until the recent approval of lurbinectedin, a selective inhibitor of RNA polymerase II. Temozolomide (TMZ) is an oral alkylating agent, which showed single-agent activity in SCLC, particularly among patients with O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter methylation. Several studies have revealed the synergistic activity of temozolomide with poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, that prevent repair of TMZ-induced DNA damage. This review focuses on the rationale for the use of TMZ in ES-SCLC and provides an overview of the main trials that have evaluated and are currently investigating its role, both as a single-agent and in combinations, in relapse or refractory disease.

Second-line treatment outcomes after first-line chemotherapy plus immunotherapy in Extensive-Stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) patients: A large French multicenter study. Lung Cancer 2024; 194:107887. [PMID: 38991282 DOI: 10.1016/j.lungcan.2024.107887] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2024] [Revised: 07/05/2024] [Accepted: 07/06/2024] [Indexed: 07/13/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy (CT-IO) is the standard treatment for patients with Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (ES-SCLC). This study evaluates the effectiveness of second-line (2L) following CT-IO. PATIENTS AND METHODS All patients from 10 centers who received a 2L after a first-line CT-IO were included. They were divided into 3 groups: platinum-based, lurbinectedin or others (topotecan, CAV, taxanes). We assessed overall survival (OS) and 2L progression-free survival (2L-PFS) according to treatment and platinum free-interval (PFI) < or ≥ 90 days. RESULTS Among 82 patients included, median age was 67.0 years, 29.3 % had a Performans Status ≥ 2, 36.6 % had brain progression, 69.5 % were considered "platine-sensitive" and 30.5 % "platine-resistant" (PFI ≥ or < 90 days, respectively). As 2L, 37/82 patients (45.1 %) received platinum-doublet, 21/82 (25.6 %) lurbinectedin and 24/82 (29.3 %) others. Patients with a PFI ≥ 90 days received mainly platinum-based rechallenge (34/57, 59.6 %). With a median follow-up of 18.5 months, the median OS was 5.0 months (95 %CI, 1.5-7.9) / 6.8 months (95 %CI, 5.5-8.7) for platinum-resistant / sensitive, respectively (log rank p = 0.017). The median 2L-PFS was 1.9 months (95 %CI, 1.2-4.7) / 3.9 months (95 %CI, 2.9-6.0) for platinum-resistant / sensitive, respectively. Median OS was 8.1 (95 %CI, 6.3-12.9) / 4.9 (95 %CI, 3.7-6.8) / 5.1 months (95 %CI, 2.5-7.8) with platinum rechallenge / lurbinectedin / others, respectively (p = 0.017). Median 2L-PFS was 4.6 (95 %CI, 3.9-7.2) / 2.7 (95 %CI, 1.6-3.9) / 2.2 months (95 %CI, 1.5-4.1) with platinum rechallenge / lurbinectedin / others, respectively (p = 0.025). DISCUSSION Platinum-based rechallenge after a first-line CT-IO showed promising results despite particularly unfavorable characteristics within our real-word population. Lurbinectedin when used after IO demonstrated as low efficacy as other platinum-free regimens.

Abstract
Background Patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) often respond to first-line chemoimmunotherapy. However, relapse is inevitable and is associated with a poor prognosis. Treatments for relapsed SCLC, such as lurbinectedin and topotecan, are limited by modest efficacy and significant hematologic adverse events, leaving a need for newer therapeutic agents or regimens. The combination of gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel is active and safe in other types of malignancies, such as pancreatic cancer. Patients and methods We conducted a phase II trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel in patients with relapsed/refractory SCLC. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR), defined as the proportion of patients with confirmed complete or partial response. Secondary endpoints included time to progression (TTP), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety. Results Between October 2016 and May 2021, 32 patients were enrolled. Patients were followed for a median of 9.3 months (range 1.8-65.2). Median age was 65 years (range 48-81). Fifty percent of patients were female. Fifty-three percent of patients had platinum-resistant/refractory relapsed SCLC. The ORR was 28.1% (95% confidence interval [CI] 15.5-100%). Median PFS was 2.9 months (95% CI 2.4-3.6), and median OS was 9.3 months (95% CI 5.2-12.4). Seven patients (21.9%) developed grade 3 or 4 neutropenia. Conclusion Our study showed that the combination of gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel led to encouraging outcomes in relapsed/refractory SCLC. Further studies are needed to compare this combination with other treatments used for relapsed SCLC, including lurbinectedin, temozolomide, and topotecan.

Topotecan in a Real-World Small-Cell Lung Cancer Cohort: Prognostic Biomarkers Improve Selection of Patients for Second-Line Treatment. Diagnostics (Basel) 2024; 14:1572. [PMID: 39061709 PMCID: PMC11276225 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics14141572] [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: 06/02/2024] [Revised: 07/15/2024] [Accepted: 07/18/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly aggressive tumor, and overall survival (OS) remains poor despite intensive efforts to develop new treatment strategies. In second line, topotecan is the only approved drug, with a median OS of 5.9 months. However, real-world SCLC patients are often in worse condition and harbor more comorbidities than study populations. Therefore, the real-world performance of topotecan may differ from that seen in studies. Here, we analyzed outcomes of SCLC patients receiving topotecan and identified predictive and prognostic markers. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 44 consecutive SCLC patients receiving topotecan between 2015 and 2022. We analyzed baseline characteristics (age, ECOG-PS, topotecan cycles, and dosage) and pre-treatment blood values (LDH, CRP, sodium) as well as prognostic scores (neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), thrombocyte/lymphocyte ratio (TLR), Glasgow Prognostic Score, prognostic nutritional score, systemic inflammation index (SII), and the prognostic index) extracted from electronic patients' charts to identify predictive and prognostic markers. RESULTS In our cohort, mPFS and mOS were only 1.9 and 5.6 months, respectively. Gender, ECOG-PS, active brain metastases, NLR, GPS, PNI, and SII significantly influenced PFS and OS in univariate analysis. ECOG-PS (p > 0.001), active brain metastases (p = 0.001), and SII (p = 0.008) were significant independent prognostic variables in a multivariate COX regression model. Selecting patients by these three markers achieved an mPFS of 5.7 months and thus increased the mPFS three-fold. Patients not meeting all criteria had an mPFS of 1.8 months (p = 0.006). Patients identified by prognostic markers had an mOS of 9.1 months (p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS The efficacy of topotecan in SCLC real-world patients is poor, indicating that many patients were treated without any benefit. Easy-to-obtain markers can predict response and treatment efficacy and should therefore be validated in larger cohorts to identify patients who are more likely to benefit from topotecan.

Front Oncol 2024; 14:1391828. [PMID: 39040456 PMCID: PMC11261159 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2024.1391828] [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: 04/23/2024] [Accepted: 06/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction This retrospective study evaluates the efficacy of camrelizumab combined with anlotinib versus chemotherapy in patients with extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) undergoing second-line treatment. Methods Data were sourced from medical records at a Chinese medical facility, involving 34 patients diagnosed with ES-SCLC after failing first-line treatment. Patients were divided into two groups: one received camrelizumab (200 mg every 3 weeks) with anlotinib (12 mg daily for 14 days followed by a 7-day rest), while the other group received physician-chosen chemotherapy administered every 3 weeks. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS), with secondary endpoints including overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), and disease control rate (DCR). Results The combination therapy group showed a significant improvement in PFS compared to the chemotherapy group (median PFS: 7 months vs. 3 months; hazard ratio (HR): 0.34; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.15-0.77; p<0.001). However, there was no statistically significant difference in OS between the groups (16.3 months vs. 17.3 months; p=0.82). The ORR was 52.9% in the combination therapy group versus 23.5% in the chemotherapy group (p=0.08), and the DCR was 82.4% compared to 58.8% (p=0.26). Grade 3 or higher adverse events were observed in 17.6% of the combination therapy group and 29.4% of the chemotherapy group. Conclusions The findings suggest that the combination of camrelizumab and anlotinib offers a superior anti-tumor response with a manageable safety profile in a second-line setting for ES-SCLC patients. This combination regimen may be a viable option for second-line ES-SCLC treatment.

Abstract
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive neuroendocrine carcinoma accounting for 15% of lung cancers with dismal survival outcomes. Minimal changes in therapy and prognosis have occurred in SCLC for the past four decades. Recent progress in the treatment of extensive-stage disease (ES-SCLC) has been marked by incorporating immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) into platinum-based chemotherapy, leading to modest improvements. Moreover, few second-line-and-beyond treatment options are currently available. The main limitation for the molecular study of SCLC has been the scarcity of samples, because only very early diseases are treated with surgery and biopsies are not performed when the disease progresses. Despite all these difficulties, in recent years we have come to understand that SCLC is not a homogeneous disease. At the molecular level, in addition to the universal loss of retinoblastoma (RB) and TP53 genes, a recent large molecular study has identified other mutations that could serve as targets for therapy development or patient selection. In recent years, there has also been the identification of new genetic subtypes which have shown us how intertumor heterogeneity exists. Moreover, SCLC can also develop intratumoral heterogeneity linked mainly to the concept of cellular plasticity, mostly due to the development of resistance to therapies. The aim of this review is to quickly present the current standard of care of ES-SCLC, to focus on the molecular landscapes and subtypes of SCLC, subsequently present the most promising therapeutic strategies under investigation, and finally recap the future directions of ongoing clinical trials for this aggressive disease which still remains a challenge.

Abstract
Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a biologically aggressive subtype of lung cancer, a lethal disease characterized by rapid tumor growth, early relapse, a strong tendency for early widespread metastasis, and high genomic instability, making it a formidable foe in modern oncology practice. While the management of non-SCLC has been revolutionized in the era of immunotherapy, progress in SCLC has been more muted. Recent randomized phase III clinical trials have combined programmed death ligand-1 inhibitors to a chemotherapy backbone and demonstrated improved survival; however, the absolute benefit observed is short months. There is an undeniable urgent need for better responses, better agents, novel therapeutic approaches, and more rational, biomarker-driven clinical trials in SCLC. In this review, we discuss the rationale and current understanding of the biology of SCLC in the modern era of immunotherapy, discuss recent advances in front-line immunotherapeutic approaches that have changed clinical practice globally, provide an overview of some of the challenges and limitations that have staggered immune checkpoint blockade in SCLC, and explore some of the novel immunotherapeutic approaches currently being investigated.

Abstract
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) presents as a highly chemosensitive malignancy but acquires cross-resistance after relapse. This transformation is nearly inevitable in patients but has been difficult to capture in laboratory models. Here, we present a preclinical system that recapitulates acquired cross-resistance, developed from 51 patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models. Each model was tested in vivo against three clinical regimens: cisplatin plus etoposide, olaparib plus temozolomide, and topotecan. These drug-response profiles captured hallmark clinical features of SCLC, such as the emergence of treatment-refractory disease after early relapse. For one patient, serial PDX models revealed that cross-resistance was acquired through MYC amplification on extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA). Genomic and transcriptional profiles of the full PDX panel revealed that MYC paralog amplifications on ecDNAs were recurrent in relapsed cross-resistant SCLC, and this was corroborated in tumor biopsies from relapsed patients. We conclude that ecDNAs with MYC paralogs are recurrent drivers of cross-resistance in SCLC. SIGNIFICANCE SCLC is initially chemosensitive, but acquired cross-resistance renders this disease refractory to further treatment and ultimately fatal. The genomic drivers of this transformation are unknown. We use a population of PDX models to discover that amplifications of MYC paralogs on ecDNA are recurrent drivers of acquired cross-resistance in SCLC.

Sintilimab plus anlotinib as second or further-line therapy for extensive disease small cell lung cancer: a phase 2 investigator-initiated non-randomized controlled trial. EClinicalMedicine 2024; 70:102543. [PMID: 38516099 PMCID: PMC10955204 DOI: 10.1016/j.eclinm.2024.102543] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2023] [Revised: 02/16/2024] [Accepted: 02/27/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Treatment options remain rather limited for extensive disease small cell lung cancer (ED-SCLC) patients in second or further-line setting. Methods The phase 2 investigator-initiated non-randomized study enrolled patients who had disease progression on at least one line of platinum-based chemotherapy. Participants received intravenous sintilimab 200 mg on day one and oral daily anlotinib 12 mg on days 1-14 once every three weeks per cycle. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). The secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR) and safety. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04055792). Findings Forty-two patients were enrolled between August 29, 2019 and December 26, 2021 at Henan Cancer Hospital in China. 37 patients were evaluable for efficacy. The median follow-up was 24.8 months (IQR: 16.9-28.2). The median PFS was 6.1 months (95% CI: 5.0-7.3). The OS was 12.7 months (95% CI: 7.1-18.2). The ORR was 56.8% (21/37, 95% CI: 40.0-73.5) and the DCR was 89.2% (33/37, 95% CI: 78.7-99.7). Forty patients (40/42, 95%) had at least one treatment-related adverse event (TRAE). Immune-related adverse events (irAEs) were reported in 39 patients (39/42, 93%), while grade 3 or higher irAEs occurred in 11 patients (11/42, 26%). The most frequent irAEs were hypothyroidism (16/42, 38%), elevated gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (15/42, 36%) and elevated creatine kinase MB (15/42, 36%). The most frequent grade 3 or higher irAEs were elevated gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (5/42, 12%) and increased aspartate aminotransferase (3/42, 7%). Interpretation Sintilimab plus anlotinib demonstrated promising antitumor activities as second or further-line therapy for ED-SCLC and had manageable toxicities. The findings support further randomized controlled trials of this combination regimen for ED-SCLC.

Abstract
The efficacy of second-line chemotherapy in patients with pulmonary large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) is unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of second-line chemotherapy in patients with pulmonary LCNEC. We retrospectively reviewed patients with pulmonary LCNEC or possible LCNEC (pLCNEC) who received platinum-based chemotherapy as the first-line treatment. Among these patients, we evaluated the efficacy of second-line treatment by comparing patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC group). Of the 61 patients with LCNEC or pLCNEC (LCNEC group) who received first-line chemotherapy, 39 patients were treated with second-line chemotherapy. Among the 39 patients, 61.5% received amrubicin monotherapy. The median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in the LCNEC groups were 3.3 and 8.3 months, respectively. No significant differences in the PFS (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.924, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.647-1.320; P = 0.664) and OS (HR: 0.926; 95% CI 0.648-1.321; P = 0.670) were observed between the LCNEC and SCLC groups. In patients treated with amrubicin, the PFS (P = 0.964) and OS (P = 0.544) were not different between both the groups. Second-line chemotherapy, including amrubicin, may be considered as a treatment option for patients with pulmonary LCNEC.

Badin F. Considerations for selecting second-line treatment in patients with progressive small cell lung cancer and the use of Lurbinectedin in this setting. Cancer Treat Res Commun 2024; 39:100803. [PMID: 38490092 DOI: 10.1016/j.ctarc.2024.100803] [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: 01/02/2024] [Revised: 02/26/2024] [Accepted: 02/27/2024] [Indexed: 03/17/2024]
Abstract
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is characterized by high initial responses to platinum-based chemotherapy plus immune checkpoint inhibitors; however, most patients quickly relapse and require subsequent treatment. Second-line treatment options in SCLC remain limited, and treatment algorithms are not completely consistent across the available guidelines in this setting. This review highlights key considerations regarding selection of second-line treatment for patients with relapsed SCLC. In particular, the role of lurbinectedin, which was first approved in 2020, representing the first significant addition to treatment algorithms in this setting for decades, is summarized. Future directions, including the identification of SCLC subtypes and the need for predictive biomarkers to guide patient selection and targeted therapy, are also discussed.

Abstract
Current treatment guidelines refer to small cell lung cancer (SCLC), one of the deadliest human malignancies, as a homogeneous disease. Accordingly, SCLC therapy comprises chemoradiation with or without immunotherapy. Meanwhile, recent studies have made significant advances in subclassifying SCLC based on the elevated expression of the transcription factors ASCL1, NEUROD1, and POU2F3, as well as on certain inflammatory characteristics. The role of the transcription regulator YAP1 in defining a unique SCLC subset remains to be established. Although preclinical analyses have described numerous subtype-specific characteristics and vulnerabilities, the so far non-existing clinical subtype distinction may be a contributor to negative clinical trial outcomes. This comprehensive review aims to provide a framework for the development of novel personalized therapeutic approaches by compiling the most recent discoveries achieved by preclinical SCLC research. We highlight the challenges faced due to limited access to patient material as well as the advances accomplished by implementing state-of-the-art models and methodologies.

Reconsidering the Cutoff Value for Sensitive and Refractory Relapses in Extensive-Stage SCLC in the Era of Immunotherapy. J Thorac Oncol 2024; 19:325-336. [PMID: 37748690 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtho.2023.09.1446] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2023] [Revised: 08/28/2023] [Accepted: 09/20/2023] [Indexed: 09/27/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Traditionally, relapsed SCLC has been classified as "sensitive" or "refractory" on the basis of cutoff values (60 or 90 d) for the duration between the last chemotherapy and disease progression. Nevertheless, these cutoff values are not derived from rigorous analytical methods, and their applicability to contemporary treatments remains uncertain. METHODS We conducted a retrospective multicenter study on patients with extensive-stage SCLC who underwent second-line therapy after platinum-doublet chemotherapy with or without immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) resistance before (pre-ICI cohort) and after (post-ICI cohort) approval of combination immunotherapy. We selected the optimal platinum-free interval cutoff value with the lowest two-sided p value in the multivariable Cox regression model for second-line overall survival. The internal validity of the chosen cutoff value was assessed using twofold cross-validation. RESULTS There were 235 and 98 patients in the pre-ICI and post-ICI cohorts, respectively. In the pre-ICI cohort, the optimal cutoff was 59 days (p = 0.0001); the hazard ratio calculated using twofold cross-validation was 1.31 (95% confidence interval: 0.95-1.82]). In the post-ICI cohort, although the 60- and 90-day cutoff values could predict prognosis (60 d; p = 0.002, 90 d; p = 0.005), the optimal cutoff value was 75 days (p = 0.0002), which resulted in a median second-line overall survival of 15.9 and 5.0 months for patients with sensitive and refractory relapse, respectively (hazard ratio = 2.77, 95% confidence interval: 1.56-4.93). CONCLUSIONS We clarified the previously ambiguous cutoff values for classifying relapsed SCLC and revealed that the 75-day cutoff most accurately predicts subsequent prognosis than the traditional cutoffs in the post-ICI era.

Lurbinectedin in patients with small cell lung cancer with chemotherapy-free interval ≥30 days and without central nervous metastases. Lung Cancer 2024; 188:107448. [PMID: 38198859 DOI: 10.1016/j.lungcan.2023.107448] [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: 11/29/2023] [Revised: 12/15/2023] [Accepted: 12/21/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This report focuses on lurbinectedin activity and safety in a subgroup of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients from a Basket phase 2 study (Trigo et al. Lancet Oncology 2020;21:645-654) with chemotherapy-free interval (CTFI) ≥ 30 days. This pre-planned analysis was requested for obtaining regulatory approval of lurbinectedin in Switzerland. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with extensive-stage SCLC, no central nervous system (CNS) metastases, and disease progression after platinum-containing therapy were included. Topotecan data from a contemporary, randomized, controlled phase 3 study (ATLANTIS) were used as indirect external control in a matched patient population (n = 98 patients). RESULTS Lurbinectedin showed a statistically significant higher overall response rate (ORR) by investigator assessment (IA) compared to topotecan subgroup (41.0 % vs. 25.5 %; p = 0.0382); higher ORR by Independent Review Committee (IRC) (33.7 % vs. 25.5 %); longer median duration of response (IA: 5.3 vs. 3.9 months; IRC: 5.1 vs. 4.3 months), and longer median overall survival (10.2 vs. 7.6 months). Grade ≥ 3 hematological abnormalities were remarkably lower with lurbinectedin: anemia 12.0 % vs. 54.1 %; leukopenia 30.1 % vs. 68.4 %; neutropenia 47.0 % vs. 75.5 %, and thrombocytopenia 6.0 % vs. 52.0 %. Febrile neutropenia was observed at a higher incidence with topotecan (6.1 % vs. 2.4 % with lurbinectedin) despite that the use of growth-colony stimulating factors was mandatory with topotecan. CONCLUSION With the limitations of an indirect comparison, however using recent and comparable SCLC datasets, this post hoc analysis shows that SCLC patients with CTFI ≥ 30 days and no CNS metastases have a positive benefit/risk ratio with lurbinectedin, superior to that observed with topotecan.

Abstract
Extensive stage-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (ES-SCLC) is an aggressive cancer with dismal prognosis. The addition of immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) to platinum-based chemotherapy have been consistently demonstrated to improve outcomes and survival, becoming the new standard in first - line treatment of ES-SCLC patients. However, despite positive results reported in the pivotal trials, longer benefit appears evident only for a selected group of patients. Several predictive biomarkers have been studied so far but the prospective identification of patients more likely to experience better outcome seems to be challenging in SCLC. Indeed, classical immune predictive biomarkers as PD-L1 and tumor mutational burden (TMB) seem not to correlate with outcomes. Recently, a new molecular classification of SCLC based on differential expression of genes associated with specific clinical behaviors and therapeutic vulnerability have been presented suggesting a new field to be investigated. Despite the achievements, these studies focused mainly on inter-tumoral heterogeneity, limiting the exploration of intra-tumoral heterogeneity and cell to cell interactions. New analysis methods are ongoing in order to explore subtypes plasticity. Analysis on single biopsies cannot catch the whole genomic profile and dynamic change of disease over time and during treatment. Moreover, the availability of tissue for translational research is limited due to the low proportion of patients undergoing surgery. In this context, liquid biopsy is a promising tool to detect reliable predictive biomarkers. Here, we reviewed the current available data on predictive role of tissue and liquid biomarkers in ES-SCLC patients receiving ICIs. We assessed latest results in terms of predictive and prognostic value of gene expression profiling in SCLC. Finally, we explored the role of liquid biopsy as a tool to monitor SCLC patients over time.

Abstract
Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a subtype of lung tumor characterized by rapid growth and early metastatic dissemination. It represents approximately 15% of all diagnosed lung cancers, with an annual incidence of over 200,000 cases worldwide. At the time of initial diagnosis, approximately 75-80% of patients already have extrathoracic spread. Almost all patients with SCLC also relapse after achieving a complete response with first-line treatment. Outcomes achievable in second-line treatment are related to the length of time between completion of first-line therapy and disease progression. While first-line chemo-immunotherapy remains the standard of care for initial management, the role of second-line treatment strategies in SCLC has been a topic of significant research and discussion. Second-line treatment options are limited and the results are still disappointing. Several molecules are currently being studied in lines following the first, using immunological targets and cell cycle checkpoints. Among these, particular interest has been placed on anti-PD-1 (programmed cell death-1 protein) and anti-PD-L1 (programmed cell death-ligand 1) monoclonal antibodies, and DLL3 (Delta-like ligand 3), which are being evaluated alone or in combination. Tarlatamab is a novel promising therapeutic antibody currently under investigation for its potential use in previously treated SCLC patients. This mini-review will explore the current state of second-line treatment options for SCLC, their clinical efficacy, and future directions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE As monotherapy such as topotecan has reached a plateau of effectiveness, new second-line treatments based on experience have been used in clinical application. This study compared the efficacy and safety of different second-line treatments for advanced small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). METHODS A total of 380 patients with advanced SCLC were screened selectively in the retrospective study. Adverse events and patient responses were assessed using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v5.0 and Response Evaluation Criteria for Solid Tumors v1.1. The progression-free survival (PFS) was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method or Cox survival regression model and compared using the log-rank test. RESULTS In the platinum-resistant group, disease control rate (DCR) and median PFS (mPFS) were prolonged in the combination group versus single-agent group (DCR: 49.24% vs 24.39%, P = .004; mPFS: 3.73 vs 1.90 months, P < .001). Grade 3/4 toxicity was similar between the 2 groups (P = .683). The mPFS did not differ among single-agent groups (P = .380). No significant difference was observed in mPFS of different combination therapy groups (P = .170). In terms of platinum-based chemotherapy, the DCR and mPFS were prolonged in irinotecan-platinum group versus taxol-platinum group (DCR: 56.14% vs 9.09%, P = .004; mPFS: 3.87 vs 1.93 months, P = .012). Grade 3/4 toxicity was similar between the 2 groups (P = .614). The mPFS was prolonged in the chemotherapy plus immunotherapy group versus single-agent chemotherapy group (P = .003). In the platinum-sensitive group, the mPFS did not differ between the combination group and single-agent group (P = .200). The mPFS did not differ among different single-agent groups (P = .260) or combination groups (P = .150). There was no difference in mPFS among different platinum-based chemotherapy groups (P = .830). CONCLUSIONS For patients with platinum-resistant SCLC, combination therapy has shown better efficacy and acceptable toxicity profile than monotherapy. Among combination therapies, irinotecan-platinum has shown better efficacy than taxol-platinum. For patients with platinum-sensitive SCLC, the efficacy of different single-agent or combination therapies was similar.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cadonilimab (AK104) is a bispecific IgG-single-chain Fv fragment (ScFv) antibody that binds to PD-1 and CTLA-4. Cadonilimab has shown encouraging anti-tumour activity and a favourable safety profile in several tumour types. In second-line treatment, there is no defined standard of care for patients with extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). Cadonilimab is expected to show substantial clinical efficacy. OBJECTIVE To assess the antitumor activity and safety of cadonilimab monotherapy or combination with conventional therapy in ES-SCLC patients who failed first-line treatment. METHODS In this multicenter, open-label, phase II study, ES-SCLC patients who had failed first-line treatment, also aged 18 years to 70 years with histologically or cytologically confirmed ES-SCLC, and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG-PS) of 0-2 were eligible. Patients will receive cadonilimab 10 mg/kg every three weeks (Q3 W) among 24 months until progressive disease (PD) or adverse events (AE) discovery. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS). TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT05901584.

Abstract
Extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) is an aggressive disease with poor 5-year survival. The first-line standard-of-care for ES-SCLC is platinum plus etoposide, along with 1 of the immune checkpoint inhibitors atezolizumab or durvalumab. Although SCLC first-line therapy often leads to rapid responses, treatment becomes more challenging at progression, particularly for those with a chemotherapy-free interval (CTFI) of ≤6 months. The NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®) for SCLC no longer specify treatment recommendations in this setting, but options approved by the US Food and Drug Administration include topotecan and lurbinectedin. Participation in a clinical trial is recommended as an option regardless of CTFI. Other NCCN-recommended regimens are paclitaxel, irinotecan, temozolomide, and cyclophosphamide/doxorubicin/vincristine, among others. Nivolumab and pembrolizumab are options in those not previously treated with a checkpoint inhibitor. For patients with platinum-sensitive SCLC (CTFI >6 months), preferred treatment per the NCCN Guidelines® for SCLC is retreatment with platinum and etoposide, although the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors is discouraged if there is progression on a drug in this class. Further research on immunotherapies and combination regimens is ongoing, and continuing work on the subcharacterization of SCLC may lead to better precision of therapies that promote more durable responses in individual patients with ES-SCLC.

Abstract
PURPOSE To provide evidence-based recommendations to practicing clinicians on the management of patients with small-cell lung cancer. METHODS An Expert Panel of medical oncology, thoracic surgery, radiation oncology, pulmonary, community oncology, research methodology, and advocacy experts were convened to conduct a literature search, which included systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and randomized controlled trials published from 1990 through 2022. Outcomes of interest included response rates, overall survival, disease-free survival or recurrence-free survival, and quality of life. Expert Panel members used available evidence and informal consensus to develop evidence-based guideline recommendations. RESULTS The literature search identified 95 relevant studies to inform the evidence base for this guideline. RECOMMENDATIONS Evidence-based recommendations were developed to address systemic therapy options, timing of therapy, treatment in patients who are older or with poor performance status, role of biomarkers, and use of myeloid-supporting agents in patients with small-cell lung cancer.Additional information is available at www.asco.org/thoracic-cancer-guidelines.

Abstract
Importance Patients with relapsed small cell lung cancer (SCLC), a high replication stress tumor, have poor prognoses and few therapeutic options. A phase 2 study showed antitumor activity with the addition of the ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related kinase inhibitor berzosertib to topotecan. Objective To investigate whether the addition of berzosertib to topotecan improves clinical outcomes for patients with relapsed SCLC. Design, Setting, and Participants Between December 1, 2019, and December 31, 2022, this open-label phase 2 randomized clinical trial recruited 60 patients with SCLC and relapse after 1 or more prior therapies from 16 US cancer centers. Patients previously treated with topotecan were not eligible. Interventions Eligible patients were randomly assigned to receive topotecan alone (group 1), 1.25 mg/m2 intravenously on days 1 through 5, or with berzosertib (group 2), 210 mg/m2 intravenously on days 2 and 5, in 21-day cycles. Randomization was stratified by tumor sensitivity to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS) in the intention-to-treat population. Secondary end points included overall survival (OS) in the overall population and among patients with platinum-sensitive or platinum-resistant tumors. The PFS and OS for each treatment group were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The log-rank test was used to compare PFS and OS between the 2 groups, and Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the treatment hazard ratios (HRs) and the corresponding 2-sided 95% CI. Results Of 60 patients (median [range] age, 59 [34-79] years; 33 [55%] male) included in this study, 20 were randomly assigned to receive topotecan alone and 40 to receive a combination of topotecan with berzosertib. After a median (IQR) follow-up of 21.3 (18.1-28.3) months, there was no difference in PFS between the 2 groups (median, 3.0 [95% CI, 1.2-5.1] months for group 1 vs 3.9 [95% CI, 2.8-4.6] months for group 2; HR, 0.80 [95% CI, 0.46-1.41]; P = .44). Overall survival was significantly longer with the combination therapy (5.4 [95% CI, 3.2-6.8] months vs 8.9 [95% CI, 4.8-11.4] months; HR, 0.53 [95% CI, 0.29-0.96], P = .03). Adverse event profiles were similar between the 2 groups (eg, grade 3 or 4 thrombocytopenia, 11 of 20 [55%] vs 20 of 40 [50%], and any grade nausea, 9 of 20 [45%] vs 14 of 40 [35%]). Conclusions and Relevance In this randomized clinical trial, treatment with berzosertib plus topotecan did not improve PFS compared with topotecan therapy alone among patients with relapsed SCLC. However, the combination treatment significantly improved OS. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03896503.

Safety and efficacy of amrubicin with primary prophylactic pegfilgrastim as second-line chemotherapy in patients with small cell lung cancer. Thorac Cancer 2023; 14:3475-3482. [PMID: 37873674 PMCID: PMC10719656 DOI: 10.1111/1759-7714.15140] [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: 09/19/2023] [Revised: 10/06/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 10/25/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Amrubicin (AMR) regimens have shown efficacy as second-line treatment in patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC); however, adverse events such as febrile neutropenia (FN) sometimes preclude their use. Further, the safety and efficacy of AMR with primary prophylactic pegfilgrastim (P-PEG) have not been sufficiently evaluated. In this study, we evaluated the safety and efficacy of AMR with or without P-PEG as second-line chemotherapy for SCLC. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed patients with SCLC who received AMR as second-line chemotherapy at Shizuoka Cancer Center, between December 2014 and November 2021. Based on presence/absence of P-PEG in their regimen, patients (n = 60) were divided into P-PEG (n = 21) and non-P-PEG groups, and their clinical outcomes were evaluated. RESULTS Median of AMR treatment cycles was five (range: 1-39 cycles) in P-PEG group and four (range: 1-15 cycles) in non-P-PEG group. The incidence of FN (4.8% vs. 30.8%; p = 0.02) and AMR dose reduction because of adverse events (4.8% vs. 25.6%; p = 0.08) were lower in the P-PEG group than in the non-P-PEG group. The objective response rates were 52.4% and 30.8%, and median progression-free and overall survival were 4.7 and 3.0 months, and 9.6 and 6.8 months, in the P-PEG and non-P-PEG groups, respectively. CONCLUSIONS AMR with P-PEG as second-line chemotherapy for SCLC reduced the incidence of FN at a maintained AMR dose intensity and was associated with favorable tumor responses and survival outcomes. P-PEG should be considered for patients treated with AMR for SCLC including refractory relapsed SCLC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tarlatamab, a bispecific T-cell engager immunotherapy targeting delta-like ligand 3 and CD3, showed promising antitumor activity in a phase 1 trial in patients with previously treated small-cell lung cancer. METHODS In this phase 2 trial, we evaluated the antitumor activity and safety of tarlatamab, administered intravenously every 2 weeks at a dose of 10 mg or 100 mg, in patients with previously treated small-cell lung cancer. The primary end point was objective response (complete or partial response), as assessed by blinded independent central review according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, version 1.1. RESULTS Overall, 220 patients received tarlatamab; patients had previously received a median of two lines of treatment. Among patients evaluated for antitumor activity and survival, the median follow-up was 10.6 months in the 10-mg group and 10.3 months in the 100-mg group. An objective response occurred in 40% (97.5% confidence interval [CI], 29 to 52) of the patients in the 10-mg group and in 32% (97.5% CI, 21 to 44) of those in the 100-mg group. Among patients with an objective response, the duration of response was at least 6 months in 59% (40 of 68 patients). Objective responses at the time of data cutoff were ongoing in 22 of 40 patients (55%) in the 10-mg group and in 16 of 28 patients (57%) in the 100-mg group. The median progression-free survival was 4.9 months (95% CI, 2.9 to 6.7) in the 10-mg group and 3.9 months (95% CI, 2.6 to 4.4) in the 100-mg group; the estimates of overall survival at 9 months were 68% and 66% of patients, respectively. The most common adverse events were cytokine-release syndrome (in 51% of the patients in the 10-mg group and in 61% of those in the 100-mg group), decreased appetite (in 29% and 44%, respectively), and pyrexia (in 35% and 33%). Cytokine-release syndrome occurred primarily during treatment cycle 1, and events in most of the patients were grade 1 or 2 in severity. Grade 3 cytokine-release syndrome occurred less frequently in the 10-mg group (in 1% of the patients) than in the 100-mg group (in 6%). A low percentage of patients (3%) discontinued tarlatamab because of treatment-related adverse events. CONCLUSIONS Tarlatamab, administered as a 10-mg dose every 2 weeks, showed antitumor activity with durable objective responses and promising survival outcomes in patients with previously treated small-cell lung cancer. No new safety signals were identified. (Funded by Amgen; DeLLphi-301 ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT05060016.).

Abstract
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is characterized by rapid growth and high metastatic capacity. It has strong epidemiologic and biologic links to tobacco carcinogens. Although the majority of SCLCs exhibit neuroendocrine features, an important subset of tumors lacks these properties. Genomic profiling of SCLC reveals genetic instability, almost universal inactivation of the tumor suppressor genes TP53 and RB1, and a high mutation burden. Because of early metastasis, only a small fraction of patients are amenable to curative-intent lung resection, and these individuals require adjuvant platinum-etoposide chemotherapy. Therefore, the vast majority of patients are currently being treated with chemoradiation with or without immunotherapy. In patients with disease confined to the chest, standard therapy includes thoracic radiotherapy and concurrent platinum-etoposide chemotherapy. Patients with metastatic (extensive-stage) disease are treated with a combination of platinum-etoposide chemotherapy plus immunotherapy with an anti-programmed death-ligand 1 monoclonal antibody. Although SCLC is initially very responsive to platinum-based chemotherapy, these responses are transient because of the development of drug resistance. In recent years, the authors have witnessed an accelerating pace of biologic insights into the disease, leading to the redefinition of the SCLC classification scheme. This emerging knowledge of SCLC molecular subtypes has the potential to define unique therapeutic vulnerabilities. Synthesizing these new discoveries with the current knowledge of SCLC biology and clinical management may lead to unprecedented advances in SCLC patient care. Here, the authors present an overview of multimodal clinical approaches in SCLC, with a special focus on illuminating how recent advancements in SCLC research could accelerate clinical development.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Combined treatment using anti-programmed death-ligand 1 antibody (anti-PD-L1) and platinum-etoposide is the current standard first-line treatment for patients with extensive-stage (ES) small cell lung cancer (SCLC). However, the best treatment for relapsed ES-SCLC after the first-line treatment remains unclear. There are some approved chemotherapeutic agents that can be used against ES-SCLC, and treatment with irinotecan is well established as both a monotherapy and a combined therapy, in combination with platinum. Therefore, we conduct a phase II study with irinotecan in the second- or later-line setting for patients with ES-SCLC who have been previously treated with combined treatment. METHODS Our study will enroll total 30 patients who are diagnosed with ES-SCLC and have experienced disease progression after the combined treatment. Patients will receive irinotecan on days 1, 8, and 15, which will be repeated every 4 weeks. Doses of irinotecan (100/80/60 mg/m2 ) will be determined according to the type of UGT1A1 gene polymorphism, and the treatment will be discontinued following disease progression, intolerance, withdrawal of patient consent, and based on the investigator's decision. The primary endpoint of the study is the response rate, and the secondary endpoints are overall survival, progression-free survival, and safety. DISCUSSION Since the present first-line treatment has been changed to the combined treatment, the second- or later-line treatment should be re-evaluated for patients with relapsed SCLC. Irinotecan is a major chemotherapeutic agent used for SCLC. This study demonstrates and re-evaluates the clinical benefits of irinotecan after combined treatment with anti-PD-L1 and platinum-etoposide for patients with ES-SCLC. REGISTRATION DETAILS This study was registered in the Japan Registry of Clinical Trials (no. jRCT s071210090) on November 4, 2021.

Abstract
Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly aggressive malignancy comprising approximately 15% of lung cancers. Only one-third of patients are diagnosed at limited-stage (LS). Surgical resection can be curative in early stages, followed by platinum-etoposide adjuvant therapy, although only a minority of patients with SCLC qualify for surgery. Concurrent chemo-radiotherapy is the standard of care for LS-SCLC that is not surgically resectable, followed by prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) for patients without progression. For extensive-stage (ES)-SCLC, a combination of platinum and etoposide has historically been a mainstay of treatment. Recently, the efficacy of programmed death-ligand 1 inhibitors combined with chemotherapy has become the new front-line standard of care for ES-SCLC. Emerging knowledge regarding SCLC biology, including genomic characterization and molecular subtyping, and new treatment approaches will potentially lead to advances in SCLC patient care.

Abstract
Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is characterized by aggressive disease progression and tendency to metastasize. Although chemotherapy for extensive-stage SCLC (ES-SCLC) has remained unchanged for decades, immune checkpoint inhibitors have become the primary therapy for ES-SCLC. However, the number of patients benefiting from immunotherapy is limited, and the treatment outcomes remain unsatisfactory. In addition, predictive biomarkers for immunotherapy have not yet been identified. Recent reports have shed light on the genomics of SCLC and defined four distinct molecular subtypes based on transcription factor expression. This may increase our understanding of the biology of SCLC and identify novel therapeutic targets and drugs. In this article, we review the current standard management of ES-SCLC and present the most recent reports to further our understanding of molecular classification, predictive biomarkers, and prospective therapies, including immunotherapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy.

Abstract
Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive, neuroendocrine tumour with high relapse rates, and significant morbidity and mortality. Apart from advances in radiation therapy, progress in the systemic treatment of SCLC had been stagnant for over three decades despite multiple attempts to develop alternative therapeutic options that could improve responses and survival. Recent promising developments in first-line and subsequent therapeutic approaches prompted a Canadian Expert Panel to convene to review evidence, discuss practice patterns, and reach a consensus on the treatment of extensive-stage SCLC (ES-SCLC). The literature search included guidelines, systematic reviews, and randomized controlled trials. Regular meetings were held from September 2022 to March 2023 to discuss the available evidence to propose and agree upon specific recommendations. The panel addressed biomarkers and histological features that distinguish SCLC from non-SCLC and other neuroendocrine tumours. Evidence for initial and subsequent systemic therapies was reviewed with consideration for patient performance status, comorbidities, and the involvement and function of other organs. The resulting consensus recommendations herein will help clarify evidence-based management of ES-SCLC in routine practice, help clinician decision-making, and facilitate the best patient outcomes.

Abstract
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) presents as a highly chemosensitive malignancy but acquires cross-resistance after relapse. This transformation is nearly inevitable in patients but has been difficult to capture in laboratory models. Here we present a pre-clinical system that recapitulates acquired cross-resistance in SCLC, developed from 51 patient-derived xenografts (PDXs). Each model was tested for in vivo sensitivity to three clinical regimens: cisplatin plus etoposide, olaparib plus temozolomide, and topotecan. These functional profiles captured hallmark clinical features, such as the emergence of treatment-refractory disease after early relapse. Serially derived PDX models from the same patient revealed that cross-resistance was acquired through a MYC amplification on extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA). Genomic and transcriptional profiles of the full PDX panel revealed that this was not unique to one patient, as MYC paralog amplifications on ecDNAs were recurrent among cross-resistant models derived from patients after relapse. We conclude that ecDNAs with MYC paralogs are recurrent drivers of cross-resistance in SCLC. SIGNIFICANCE SCLC is initially chemosensitive, but acquired cross-resistance renders this disease refractory to further treatment and ultimately fatal. The genomic drivers of this transformation are unknown. We use a population of PDX models to discover that amplifications of MYC paralogs on ecDNA are recurrent drivers of acquired cross-resistance in SCLC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) accounts for approximately 15% of lung cancer and is associated with poor prognosis. In platinum-refractory or -resistant SCLC patients, few treatment options are available. Topotecan is one of the standards of care for these patients, however, due to its high toxicity, several different approaches are employed. FOLFIRI (folinate, 5-fluorouracil and irinotecan) is a chemotherapy regimen used in digestive neuroendocrine carcinoma, which shares pathological similarities with SCLC. In this retrospective study, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of FOLFIRI in patients with platinum-resistant/refractory SCLC. METHODS Medical records from all consecutive SCLC patients treated with FOLFIRI in a French University Hospital from 2013 to 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. The primary endpoint was the objective response rate according to RECIST v1.1 or EORTC criteria (ORR); secondary endpoints included duration of response, disease control rate, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and safety profile. RESULTS Thirty-four patients with metastatic platinum-resistant (n = 14) or -refractory (n = 20) SCLC were included. Twenty-eight were evaluable for response, with a partial response observed in 5 patients for an overall ORR in the evaluable population of 17.9% (5/28) and 14.7% (5/34) in the overall population. The disease control rate was 50% (14/28) in the evaluable population. The median PFS and OS were 2.8 months (95%CI, 2.0-5.2 months) and 5.3 months (95%CI, 3.5-8.9 months), respectively. All patients were included in the safety analysis. Grade 3 or 4 adverse events occurred in 13 (38.2%) patients. The most common grade 3 or 4 adverse events were asthenia, neutropenia, thrombopenia and diarrhea. There was no adverse event leading to discontinuation or death. CONCLUSION FOLFIRI showed some activity for platinum-resistant/refractory SCLC in terms of overall response and had an acceptable safety profile. However, caution is needed in interpreting this result. FOLFIRI could represent a potential new treatment for platinum-resistant/refractory SCLC patients. Further prospective studies are needed to assess the benefits of this chemotherapy regimen.HIGHLIGHTSFOLFIRI showed some activity for platinum-resistant/refractory SCLC in terms of overall response.FOLFIRI was well-tolerated in platinum resistant/refractory SLCL patients.FOLFIRI could represent a potential new treatment for SCLC, prospective studies are needed.

[PMID: 36689692 PMCID: PMC10414718 DOI: 10.1200/jco.22.02823] [Citation(s) in RCA: 68] [Impact Index Per Article: 68.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2022] [Revised: 01/04/2023] [Accepted: 01/13/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive malignancy with limited treatments. Delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3) is aberrantly expressed in most SCLC. Tarlatamab (AMG 757), a bispecific T-cell engager molecule, binds both DLL3 and CD3 leading to T-cellb-mediated tumor lysis. Herein, we report phase I results of tarlatamab in patients with SCLC. PATIENTS AND METHODS This study evaluated tarlatamab in patients with relapsed/refractory SCLC. The primary end point was safety. Secondary end points included antitumor activity by modified RECIST 1.1, overall survival, and pharmacokinetics. RESULTS By July 19, 2022, 107 patients received tarlatamab in dose exploration (0.003 to 100 mg; n = 73) and expansion (100 mg; n = 34) cohorts. Median prior lines of anticancer therapy were 2 (range, 1-6); 49.5% received antiprogrammed death-1/programmed death ligand-1 therapy. Any-grade treatment-related adverse events occurred in 97 patients (90.7%) and grade b % 3 in 33 patients (30.8%). One patient (1%) had grade 5 pneumonitis. Cytokine release syndrome was the most common treatment-related adverse event, occurring in 56 patients (52%) including grade 3 in one patient (1%). Maximum tolerated dose was not reached. Objective response rate was 23.4% (95% CI, 15.7 to 32.5) including two complete and 23 partial responses. The median duration of response was 12.3 months (95% CI, 6.6 to 14.9). The disease control rate was 51.4% (95% CI, 41.5 to 61.2). The median progression-free survival and overall survival were 3.7 months (95% CI, 2.1 to 5.4) and 13.2 months (95% CI, 10.5 to not reached), respectively. Exploratory analysis suggests that selecting for increased DLL3 expression can result in increased clinical benefit. CONCLUSION In patients with heavily pretreated SCLC, tarlatamab demonstrated manageable safety with encouraging response durability. Further evaluation of this promising molecule is ongoing.

Abstract
Therapeutic options for patients with relapsed SCLC are limited, and the prognosis in this setting remains poor. While clinical outcomes for frontline treatment have modestly improved with the introduction of immunotherapy, treatment in the second-line setting persists almost unchanged. In this review, current treatment options and recent advances in molecular biology are described. Emerging therapeutic options in this setting and potential strategies to improve clinical outcomes of these patients are also addressed.

Abstract
Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive disease with distinct biological and clinical features. The clinical course of SCLC is generally characterised by initial sensitivity to DNA-damaging therapies, followed by early relapse and broad cross resistance to second line agents. Whilst there has been an enormous expansion of effective targeted and immune-based therapeutic options for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the last decade, little improvement has been achieved in SCLC treatment and survival due, at least in part, to underappreciated inter- and intra-tumoral heterogeneity. Here we review the current treatment paradigm of SCLC including recent advances made in utilizing immunotherapy and the challenges of identifying a predictive biomarker for immunotherapy response. We examine emerging new targeted therapies, combination immunotherapy and future directions of SCLC treatment research.

Abstract
Importance Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive disease that is characterized by rapid growth and the early development of metastases. Patients typically respond to initial chemotherapy but quickly experience relapse, resulting in a poor long-term outcome. Therapeutic innovations that substantially improve survival have historically been limited, and reliable, predictive biomarkers are lacking. Observations This review examines the biologic characteristics of SCLC, the current treatment landscape, and ongoing efforts to identify novel therapeutic targets. Ongoing research has advanced the understanding of molecular categories and the immunologic microenvironment of SCLC, which in turn has helped improve disease classification and staging. Recently, immunotherapy-based regimens have become available for the management of SCLC, with 2 programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 inhibitors approved in combination with chemotherapy for first-line treatment of extensive-stage disease. For second-line treatment, a novel alkylating agent, lurbinectedin, which inhibits oncogenic transcription, has been approved for use in patients with metastatic SCLC. Furthermore, a wide variety of therapies and innovative combination regimens are being continuously evaluated. Potential therapeutic strategies, including aurora kinase A inhibitors, polyadenosine diphosphate-ribose polymerase inhibitors, ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related inhibitors, cyclin-dependent kinase 7 inhibitors, delta-like protein 3 agents, antiganglioside agents, CD47 inhibitors, and lysine-specific histone demethylase 1a inhibitors, are also being examined. Conclusions and Relevance Therapeutic optimization of SCLC remains a challenge, but recent trial results and drug approvals are encouraging. Advances in research have revealed critical information regarding biologic characteristics of the disease, which may lead to the identification of vulnerabilities and the development of new therapies. Further research focused on identifying biomarkers and evaluating innovative therapies will be paramount to improving treatment outcomes for patients with SCLC.

Abstract
Second-line treatment options are limited for patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). We conducted a PRISMA-standard systematic literature review to evaluate the treatment landscape for patients with relapsed SCLC (PROSPERO number: CRD42022299759). Systematic searches of MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Library were performed (October 2022) to identify publications (prior 5 years) from prospective studies of therapies for relapsed SCLC. Publications were screened against predetermined eligibility criteria; data were extracted to standardized fields. Publication quality was assessed using GRADE. The data were analyzed descriptively, grouped by drug class. Overall, 77 publications involving 6349 patients were included. Studies of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) with established cancer indications accounted for 24 publications; topoisomerase I inhibitors for 15; checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) for 11, and alkylating agents for 9 publications. The remaining 18 publications featured chemotherapies, small-molecule inhibitors, investigational TKIs and monoclonal antibodies, and a cancer vaccine. According to GRADE assessment, 69% of the publications reported low-/very-low-quality evidence; quality limitations included lack of randomization and small sample sizes. Only 6 publications/6 trials reported phase 3 data; 5 publications/2 trials reported phase 2/3 results. Overall, the clinical potential of alkylating agents and CPIs remained unclear; investigations of combination approaches and biomarker-directed usage are warranted. Phase 2 data from TKI trials were consistently promising; no phase 3 data were available. Phase 2 data for a liposomal formulation of irinotecan were promising. We confirmed an absence of promising investigational drug/regimens in late-stage development; thus, relapsed SCLC remains an area of high unmet need.

Abstract
Urothelial carcinoma accounts for approximately 90% of all bladder cancer diagnoses. Localized, muscle-invasive disease is often managed with a multidisciplinary approach including either neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) followed by radical cystectomy or concurrent chemoradiation, whereas multiple immunotherapies and novel antibody drug conjugates have recently joined platinum-based chemotherapy as standard of care therapy for metastatic disease. However, the clinical trials leading to these standards often require majority if not complete urothelial histology for eligibility. As many as one quarter of patients diagnosed with bladder cancer will have either divergent differentiation of their urothelial carcinoma or an alternate epithelial tumor such as squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, or small cell carcinoma; even more rare are non-epithelial tumors such as sarcoma. The rarity of these diseases and their general exclusion from treatment within prospective clinical trials has created a challenging situation where treatment plans are often derived from case series or extrapolated from other disease types and outcomes are poor compared to pure urothelial carcinoma. In this review, we summarize the existing data on the diagnosis and treatment of epithelial, non-urothelial bladder cancers including adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and small cell carcinoma in their localized and advances stages. We will also review the current clinical trial landscape investigating novel approaches to these diseases.

Combination lurbinectedin and doxorubicin versus physician's choice of chemotherapy in patients with relapsed small-cell lung cancer (ATLANTIS): a multicentre, randomised, open-label, phase 3 trial. THE LANCET. RESPIRATORY MEDICINE 2023; 11:74-86. [PMID: 36252599 DOI: 10.1016/s2213-2600(22)00309-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 33.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2022] [Revised: 08/16/2022] [Accepted: 08/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/08/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Lurbinectedin is a synthetic marine-derived anticancer agent that acts as a selective inhibitor of oncogenic transcription. Lurbinectedin monotherapy (3·2 mg/m2 every 3 weeks) received accelerated approval from the US Food and Drug Administration on the basis of efficacy in patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) who relapsed after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. The ATLANTIS trial assessed the efficacy and safety of combination lurbinectedin and the anthracycline doxorubicin as second-line treatment for SCLC. METHODS In this phase 3, open-label, randomised study, adult patients aged 18 years or older with SCLC who relapsed after platinum-based chemotherapy were recruited from 135 hospitals across North America, South America, Europe, and the Middle East. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) centrally by dynamic allocation to intravenous lurbinectedin 2·0 mg/m2 plus doxorubicin 40·0 mg/m2 administered on day 1 of 21-day cycles or physician's choice of control therapy (intravenous topotecan 1·5 mg/m2 on days 1-5 of 21-day cycles; or intravenous cyclophosphamide 1000 mg/m2, doxorubicin 45·0 mg/m2, and vincristine 2·0 mg on day 1 of 21-day cycles [CAV]) administered until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Primary granulocyte-colony stimulating factor prophylaxis was mandatory in both treatment groups. Neither patients nor clinicians were masked to treatment allocation, but the independent review committee, which assessed outcomes, was masked to patients' treatment allocation. The primary endpoint was overall survival in the intention-to-treat population. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02566993, and with EudraCT, 2015-001641-89, and is complete. FINDINGS Between Aug 30, 2016, and Aug 20, 2018, 613 patients were randomly assigned to lurbinectedin plus doxorubicin (n=307) or control (topotecan, n=127; CAV, n=179) and comprised the intention-to-treat population; safety endpoints were assessed in patients who had received any partial or complete study treatment infusions (lurbinectedin plus doxorubicin, n=303; control, n=289). After a median follow-up of 24·1 months (95% CI 21·7-26·3), 303 patients in the lurbinectedin plus doxorubicin group and 289 patients in the control group had discontinued study treatment; progressive disease was the most common reason for discontinuation (213 [70%] patients in the lurbinectedin plus doxorubicin group vs 152 [53%] in the control group). Median overall survival was 8·6 months (95% CI 7·1-9·4) in the lurbinectedin plus doxorubicin group versus 7·6 months (6·6-8·2) in the control group (stratified log-rank p=0·90; hazard ratio 0·97 [95% CI 0·82-1·15], p=0·70). 12 patients died because of treatment-related adverse events: two (<1%) of 303 in the lurbinectedin plus doxorubicin group and ten (3%) of 289 in the control group. 296 (98%) of 303 patients in the lurbinectedin plus doxorubicin group had treatment-emergent adverse events compared with 284 (98%) of 289 patients in the control group; treatment-related adverse events occurred in 268 (88%) patients in the lurbinectedin plus doxorubicin group and 266 (92%) patients in the control group. Grade 3 or worse haematological adverse events were less frequent in the lurbinectedin plus doxorubicin group than the control group (anaemia, 57 [19%] of 302 patients in the lurbinectedin plus doxorubicin group vs 110 [38%] of 288 in the control group; neutropenia, 112 [37%] vs 200 [69%]; thrombocytopenia, 42 [14%] vs 90 [31%]). The frequency of treatment-related adverse events leading to treatment discontinuation was lower in the lurbinectedin plus doxorubicin group than in the control group (26 [9%] of 303 patients in the lurbinectedin plus doxorubicin group vs 47 [16%] of 289 in the control group). INTERPRETATION Combination therapy with lurbinectedin plus doxorubicin did not improve overall survival versus control in patients with relapsed SCLC. However, lurbinectedin plus doxorubicin showed a favourable haematological safety profile compared with control. FUNDING PharmaMar.

Real World Patient Eligibility for Second Line Lurbinectedin Based Treatment in Small Cell Lung Cancer: Understanding Epidemiology and Estimating Health Care Utilization. Curr Oncol 2022; 29:9744-9752. [PMID: 36547179 PMCID: PMC9776936 DOI: 10.3390/curroncol29120765] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2022] [Revised: 11/25/2022] [Accepted: 12/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In the ATLANTIS study, second-line lurbinectedin/doxorubicin did not improve overall survival (OS), however patients with a chemotherapy-free interval (CTFI) of ≥180 days had an improved progression free survival (PFS). The objective of this retrospective study was to identify the proportion of real-world small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients who are suitable for lurbinectedin-based therapy based on these criteria. METHODS A retrospective study of all SCLC referred to BC Cancer between 2012 and 2017 was conducted. Patient demographics, staging, treatment, and survival data were collected retrospectively. Baseline characteristics were compared using descriptive statistics. OS was calculated using Kaplan-Meier curves. Statistically significant p-value was <0.05. RESULTS A total of 1048 patients were identified. Baseline characteristics: median age 68 years, 47% male, 61% current smoking status, 68% extensive disease. Best supportive care was received by 22%. First-line systemic therapy was platinum doublet for 71% of the population. Second-line systemic therapy was delivered to 22%. Of the 219 patients who received second-line systemic therapy after platinum doublet, 183 patients had a CTFI of ≥90 days and 107 patients had a CTFI of ≥180 days. Patients originally treated as limited stage disease, received platinum doublet as second line, received thoracic radiation (RT) or prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) were more likely to have a CTFI of ≥90 and ≥180 days. CONCLUSION In our real-world SCLC population, only 21% of the SCLC population received second-line therapy after platinum doublet with 17% achieving CTFI of ≥90 days and 10% CTFI of ≥180 days. Based on this retrospective review, only a small fraction of platinum-treated patients would be preferentially offered lurbinectedin in the second-line setting.

Treatment patterns and outcomes of immunotherapy in extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer based on real-world practice. Thorac Cancer 2022; 13:3295-3303. [PMID: 36218023 PMCID: PMC9715773 DOI: 10.1111/1759-7714.14684] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2022] [Revised: 09/22/2022] [Accepted: 09/23/2022] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The application of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) represents a breakthrough in the current landscape for the treatment of extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC), but the real-world outcome is limited. This study aimed to investigate the treatment options and efficacy evaluation of first-line, second-line, and subsequent-line immunotherapy in routine practice. METHODS A retrospective analysis of ES-SCLC patients treated with ICIs was conducted between May 2016 and September 2021. Objective response rate, disease control rate, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival were assessed between groups to explore the value of ICIs at different treatment time periods. PFS1 and PFS2 were defined as the duration from initial therapy to disease progression or death in first-line or second-line treatment. RESULTS Ninety-six patients with ES-SCLC were included. PFS1 was prolonged in patients treated with first-line ICIs-combined therapy (median PFS1 7.20 months vs. 5.30 months, hazard ratio [HR] 0.55, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.36-087, p = 0.0085). For patients who progressed after first-line ICIs treatment (N = 22), PFS1 + PFS2 was longer in the second-line ICIs continuation group with no significant difference (median PFS1 + PFS2 11.27 months vs. 7.20 months, HR 0.45, 95% CI 0.14-1.51, p = 0.19). For patients who experienced a progression event after first-line chemotherapy (N = 50), PFS2 and PFS1 + PFS2 were prolonged in patients who accepted second-line ICIs-combined therapy without significant difference (median PFS2 4.00 months vs. 2.43 months, HR 0.59, 95% CI 0.33-1.05, p = 0.070; median PFS1 + PFS2 11.30 months vs. 8.70 months, HR 0.53, 95% CI 0.29-0.98, p = 0.056). CONCLUSION First-line ICIs plus chemotherapy should be applied in the clinical practice of ES-SCLC. If patients did not receive ICIs plus chemotherapy in first-line treatment, therapies that include ICIs in second-line treatment should be considered.

Abstract
Small cell lung cancer is a relevant clinical issue as it is a highly malignant cancer, often diagnosed in advanced stage. Similarly to non-small cell lung cancer, tobacco smoking is currently the main risk factor. Its incidence, at least in males, has declined over the past decades, due to the worldwide decreased percentage of active smokers. The typical small cells of this tumor type are characterized by a high Proliferation Index, chromosomal deletions such as 3p(14-23) involving the tumor-suppressor gene FHIT, alterations of the MYC or Notch family proteins and the frequent expression of neuroendocrine markers. The combination of thoracic radiotherapy and chemotherapy is the standard treatment for limited stage disease, while platinum-based chemotherapy is the most effective choice for extensive stage disease. Unfortunately, whatever chemotherapy is used, the results are disappointing. No regimen has proved to be effective in the long run, indeed small cell lung cancer rapidly progresses after a frequent initial strong response, and the mortality rate remains still high. The advent of immunotherapy is actually changing the landscape in oncology. As well as in other cancers, recent trials have demonstrated the efficacy of the combination of immune checkpoint inhibitors and chemotherapy, opening new perspectives for the future of our patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Lung cancer currently represents a leading cause of cancer death. Substantial progress achieved in the medical therapy of lung cancer during the last decade has been associated with the advent of targeted therapy, including immunotherapy. The targeted therapy has gradually shifted from drugs suppressing general mechanisms of tumor growth and progression to agents aiming at transforming mechanisms like driver mutations in a particular tumor. Knowledge of the molecular characteristics of a tumor has become an essential component of the more targeted therapeutic approach. There are specific challenges for biomarker determination in lung cancer, in particular a commonly limited size of tumor sample. Liquid biopsy is therefore of particular importance in the management of lung cancer. Laboratory medicine is an indispensable part of multidisciplinary management of lung cancer. Clinical
Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (CCLM) has played and will continue playing a major role in updating and spreading the knowledge in the field.

Abstract
In this study, a series of N-benzyl-2-(5-phenylpyridin-2-yl) acetamide-based derivatives were successfully designed and synthesized as anti-cancer agents. KC-180-2 was screened as a potentially leading compound with dual mechanisms of action: Src signaling and tubulin polymerization inhibition. It efficiently suppressed the proliferation of five cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-231, H446, SKOV-3, HepG2, and HT29), with IC50 values ranging from 5 to 188 nM, especially small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) cells (IC50, 5 nM). Correspondingly, it exerted a significant therapeutic effect on the H446 small-cell lung cancer xenograft model, significantly reducing the volume of tumors without obvious toxicity. Mechanistically, this compound significantly inhibited the polymerization of purified tubulin in vitro, inducing G2/M cell cycle arrest and binding to the kinase catalytic domain of the Src protein, which reduced the phosphorylation of Src. Thus, KC-180-2 is a potential lead compound for the further development of a new anti-tumor drug against SCLC.

Abstract
Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly malignant tumor, and no standard third-line therapy has been established. The present study retrospectively analyzed the efficacy and safety of platinum-based regimens in patients with third-line SCLC who received third-line chemotherapy. The association of regimen type with overall survival (OS) or time to treatment failure (TTF) was evaluated using the Cox hazard proportional method, including well-known covariates affecting the prognosis of SCLC. TTF and OS analyses were conducted using the Kaplan-Meier method. The data cutoff date was June 30, 2020. As a result, from January 2015 to August 2019, 111 patients were diagnosed with SCLC, and 37 received third-line chemotherapy. Subsequently, 15 patients received a platinum-doublet regimen, and 22 patients received a single-agent regimen. Only the type of regimen was significantly associated with TTF in univariate analysis (odds ratio, 0.44; 95% confidence interval, 0.20-0.95; P=0.03). There were no significant factors associated with OS. The median TTF of patients receiving a platinum-doublet regimen and those receiving a single-agent regimen were 3.9 and 2.3 months, respectively (P=0.03). The overall response rates of the platinum-doublet and single-agent regimens were 20.0 and 4.5%, respectively. Similarly, the disease control rates were 73.3 and 36.4% for platinum-doublet and single-agent regimens, respectively. There was a tendency for adverse events (AEs) with any grade to occur more often in platinum-based regimens compared with in single-agent regimens. Severe AEs of grade 3 or higher were observed more often in the platinum-based regimen, especially in myelosuppression. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated the feasibility and safety of platinum-doublet regimens in patients with SCLC in a third-line setting (Registration no. 2020-048. Date of registration, June 5, 2020).

Lurbinectedin in small cell lung cancer. Front Oncol 2022; 12:932105.

Abstract
Few treatment options are available for patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) in progression after a first-line therapy. A novel therapeutic approach is represented by lurbinectedin, a synthetic derivative of trabectedin that works by inhibiting oncogenic transcription and promoting apoptosis in tumor cells. A phase II basket trial demonstrated the activity of lurbinectedin at the dose of 3.2 mg/m2 in patients with SCLC who had failed a previous chemotherapy, with a response rate of 35.2%, a median progression-free survival (mPFS) of 3.5 months, and a median overall survival (mOS) of 9.3 months. Common severe adverse events (grades 3–4) were hematological disorders, including anemia (9%), leukopenia (29%), neutropenia (46%), and thrombocytopenia (7%). On the basis of the positive results of this phase II study, on June 2020, lurbinectedin was approved by the Food and Drug Administration as second line for SCLC patients in progression on or after platinum-based therapy. The subsequent phase III trial comparing the combination of lurbinectedin plus doxorubicin vs. CAV (cyclophosphamide, Adriamycin, and vincristine) or topotecan did not demonstrate an improvement in overall survival, although the experimental arm showed a superior safety profile. Combinations of lurbinectedin with other drugs, cytotoxic agents and immune checkpoint inhibitors, are currently under investigation. The results of these studies should better define the optimal clinical application of lurbinectedin.

Real-life second-line epirubicin-paclitaxel regimen as treatment of relapsed small-cell lung cancer: EpiTax study. Cancer Med 2022; 12:2658-2665. [PMID: 36000584 PMCID: PMC9939142 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.5143] [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: 01/25/2022] [Revised: 08/02/2022] [Accepted: 08/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Few therapeutic options are approved as second-line treatment after failure of platinum-based chemotherapy for patients with extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). Topotecan widespread use remains challenged by the risk of severe toxicities in a pretreated population. Little is known about the efficacy and safety of epirubicin-paclitaxel doublet in second-line and beyond and especially cerebral outcomes. METHODS EpiTax is a retrospective multicenter observational real-life study. We evaluated the efficacy of epirubicin 90 mg/m2 combined with paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 every 3 weeks in SCLC patients after failure of at least one line of platinum-based chemotherapy. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), intracranial control rate (ICR), and safety. RESULTS A total of 29 patients were included. The median of previous systemic therapy lines was 2 (1-4). Eleven patients received the treatment in the second line. Characteristics of patients were a median age of 60 years (45-77), 65.5% of males with 72.4% of PS 0-1. Fifteen patients had a history of brain metastases. Median PFS and OS achieved 11.0 (95% CI, 8.1-16.3) and 23 (95% CI, 14.1-29.6) weeks, respectively. ORR was 34.5% and DCR was 55.2%. ICR was 3/15 (20%). Grade 3-4 adverse events were mainly hematological and concerned 7 patients. No case of febrile neutropenia or toxic death was reported. CONCLUSION Epirubicin-paclitaxel association highlighted promising efficacy with PFS and OS of 11 and 23 weeks, respectively, ORR of 34.5%, and a tolerable safety profile. This doublet could represent another valuable therapeutic option for ES-SCLC patients treated in the second line and beyond.

Abstract
Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is characterized by rapid proliferation, high growth fraction and early locoregional and distant metastases. SCLC has been found to be significantly sensitive to platinum–etoposide chemotherapy, but most patients relapse within 6 months of completing initial treatment and median overall survival is about 10 months. Despite the current immunotherapy-treatment approach, median survival time and progression-free survival remain short. This case shows the potential efficacy of maintenance therapy with toripalimab and anlotinib after first-line platinum–etoposide chemotherapy in a patient with extensive-stage SCLC. The combination treatment prolonged the progression-free survival to approximately 13 months and overall survival to 25 months; this is well above the existing standard, and this patient did not experience any major adverse effects during the course of therapy.
