The Efficiency and Safety of Triple-Drug Combination of Albumin-Bound Paclitaxel, Anlotinib and PD-1/L1 Inhibitors in the 2 nd or Above Line of Advanced NSCLC: A Retrospective Cohort Study. Cancer Manag Res 2024; 16:1003-1012. [PMID: 39135711 PMCID: PMC11318595 DOI: 10.2147/cmar.s472196] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2024] [Accepted: 08/02/2024] [Indexed: 08/15/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Existing research data indicates that albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-ptx), anlotinib, and PD-1/L1 inhibitors have individually shown efficacy in second-line and subsequent treatments for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study seeks to investigate the potential of an optimized treatment regimen in this context by combining these three drugs and evaluating both efficacy and safety outcomes. Patients and Methods Between January 2020 and January 2022, we collected data from pre-treated advanced NSCLC patients who received a combination therapy of nab-ptx, anlotinib, and PD-1/L1 inhibitors as a second-line or later treatment. The primary endpoints for the study included the objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), disease control rate (DCR) and overall survival (OS), while adverse events (AEs) were also recorded. Results Our findings revealed that the ORR of this regimen in pretreated NSCLC patients was 35.71%, with mean PFS of 5.0 months and mean OS of 10.0 months. Further analysis suggested correlations between the efficacy of the regimen and factors such as PD-L1 expression levels, the occurrence of certain types of adverse events, and the status of NK cell activity. Additionally, the tolerable toxicity profile of this regimen indicates its potential applicability in the treatment of pretreated advanced NSCLC. Conclusion Our study displayed that triple-drug combination of nab-ptx, anlotinib and PD-1/L1 inhibitors showed promising efficiency and tolerated cytotoxicity in the 2nd or above line treatment of advanced NSCLC, indicating the potential of such regimen as an important option for second-line treatment of advanced NSCLC. However, due to limitations in patient numbers, its actual clinical value awaits further research confirmation.

Chemoradiotherapy versus surgery after neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy in patients with stage III NSCLC: a real-world multicenter retrospective study. Cancer Immunol Immunother 2024; 73:120. [PMID: 38713243 PMCID: PMC11076427 DOI: 10.1007/s00262-024-03696-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2024] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 05/08/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE The optimal treatment after neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy for patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is unclear. This study aimed at comparing the efficacy and safety of chemoradiotherapy and surgery after neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy in stage III NSCLC. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a real-world multicenter retrospective study on patients with stage III NSCLC who received surgery or chemoradiotherapy after neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy between October 2018 and December 2022. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were assessed from the initiation of neoadjuvant treatment and estimated by the Kaplan‒Meier method. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression models were used to examine potential prognostic factors. One-to-one propensity score matching (PSM) was used to further minimize confounding. RESULTS A total of 239 eligible patients were enrolled, with 104 (43.5%) receiving surgery and 135 (56.5%) receiving CRT. After 1:1 PSM, 1- and 2-year PFS rates in patients receiving radical surgery (rSurgery group) vs. patients receiving definitive cCRT (dCCRT group) were 80.0% vs. 79.2% and 67.2% vs. 53.1%, respectively (P = 0.774). One- and 2-year OS rates were 97.5% vs. 97.4% and 87.3% vs. 89.9%, respectively (P = 0.558). Patients in the dCCRT group had a numerically lower incidence of distant metastases compared to those in the rSurgery group (42.9% vs. 70.6%, P = 0.119). The incidence of treatment-related adverse events was similar in both groups, except that the incidence of grade 3/4 hematological toxicity was significantly higher in the dCCRT group (30.0% vs. 10.0%, P = 0.025). CONCLUSION Following neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy, definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy may achieve noninferior outcomes to radical surgery in stage III NSCLC.

Front Immunol 2023; 14:1273220. [PMID: 38106421 PMCID: PMC10722296 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2023.1273220] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2023] [Accepted: 11/21/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy may benefit patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but its impact requires further investigation. Methods A meta-analysis was conducted. PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were searched. The study was registered in PROSPERO (registration no. CRD42022360893). Results 60 studies of 3,632 patients were included. Comparing with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy showed higher pCR (RR: 4.71, 95% CI: 3.69, 6.02), MPR (RR, 3.20, 95% CI: 2.75, 3.74), and ORR (RR, 1.46, 95% CI: 1.21, 1.77), fewer surgical complications (RR: 0.67, 95%CI: 0.48, 0.94), higher R0 resection rate (RR: 1.06, 95%CI: 1.03, 1.10, I2 = 52%), and longer 1-year and 2-year OS, without affecting TRAEs. For neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy in NSCLC, the pooled pCR rate was 0.35 (95% CI: 0.31, 0.39), MPR was 0.59 (95% CI: 0.54, 0.63), and ORR was 0.71 (95% CI: 0.66, 0.76). The pooled incidence of all grade TRAEs was 0.70 (95% CI: 0.60, 0.81), and that of >= grade 3 TRAEs was 0.24 (95% CI: 0.16, 0.32). The surgical complications rate was 0.13 (95% CI: 0.07, 0.18) and R0 resection rate was 0.98 (95% CI: 0.96, 0.99). The pooled 1-year OS was 0.97 (95%CI: 0.96, 0.99), and 2-year OS was 0.89 (95%CI: 0.83, 0.94). Patients with squamous cell carcinoma, stage III or higher PD-L1 performed better. Notably, no significant differences were observed in pCR, MPR, and ORR between 2 or more treatment cycles. Pembrolizumab-, or toripalimab-based neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy demonstrated superior efficacy and tolerable toxicity. Conclusion According to our analysis, reliable efficacy, safety, and survival of neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy for operable NSCLC were demonstrated.

Abstract
As stage IIIC non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is not recommended for surgical resection, the survival and prognosis for stage IIIC NSCLC remain poor. More powerful and individualized therapies are urgently needed to improve the prognosis of stage IIIC NSCLC. Recently, immunotherapeutics have been increasingly considered in the neoadjuvant therapy of NSCLC. This study presents a patient with stage IIIC NSCLC achieving a pathological complete response (pCR) following conversion therapy with immunotherapy plus chemotherapy. This case also presents a histologic transformation from squamous cell carcinoma to adenocarcinoma after prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) following surgery. Collectively, this case suggests that conversion immunotherapy with chemotherapy and subsequent surgery can be considered and benefits a subset of unresectable stage IIIC NSCLC.

Abstract
Checkpoint inhibitors are monoclonal antibodies that elicit an anti-tumor response by stimulating immune system. Their use has improved the treatment of different types of cancer such as melanoma, breast carcinoma, lung, stomach, colon, liver, renal cell carcinoma, and Hodgkin's lymphoma, but several adverse events have been reported. Although the etiology of these effects is not completely understood, an uncontrolled activation of the immune system has been postulated. Indeed, some studies showed a cross reactivity of T cells, which acted against tumor antigens as well as antigens in the tissues of patients who developed immune-related adverse events. Despite the known possibility of developing immune-related adverse events, early diagnosis, monitoring during therapy, and treatment are fundamental for the best supportive care and administration of immune checkpoint inhibitors. The aim of this review is to guide the clinician in early diagnosis, management, and treatment of the endocrinological adverse effects in the major endocrine glands (thyroid, pituitary, adrenal, endocrine pancreas, and parathyroid).
