Abstract
INTRODUCTION Treatment options for patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment failure are limited. An exploratory analysis of 26 patients in the IMpower150 study indicated that treatment with atezolizumab, bevacizumab, carboplatin, and paclitaxel (ABCP) was effective in patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC. This phase II study was conducted to assess the efficacy of ABCP in EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients after TKI treatment. METHODS Patients with non-squamous NSCLC harboring sensitizing EGFR mutations were enrolled. ABCP therapy was administered every 3 weeks for four cycles, followed by maintenance therapy with atezolizumab and bevacizumab. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) according to extramural review (ER). Key secondary endpoints and preplanned analysis included overall survival (OS), overall response rate (ORR), and differences in the efficacy of ABCP according to prior EGFR-TKI administration, liver metastases, and brain metastases. RESULTS Sixty patients from 26 centers were enrolled. Median PFS was 7.4 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 5.7-8.2). The median OS was 23.1 months (95% CI: 13.1-not reached), and the ORR was 55.9%. PFS was significantly shorter in patients who had received osimertinib as a first-line treatment (7.2 months vs. 7.4 months, hazard ratio [HR] 1.932, p = 0.023), those with brain metastases (5.7 months vs. 8 months, HR 1.86, p = 0.032), or those with liver metastases (5.4 months vs. 7.9 months, HR 2.779, p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS Although this study did not meet the primary endpoint, ABCP showed clinically meaningful efficacy in EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are effective against advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, whether the efficacy and safety of ICI treatment in elderly patients are similar to those in younger patients is unclear. This study was designed to address this question. METHODS We enrolled patients who received ICI monotherapy in Japan between December 2015 and December 2017; those ≥75 years of age comprised the elderly group. We compared the efficacy and safety of ICI monotherapy in elderly patients with those in younger patients and explored prognostic factors in elderly patients. RESULTS We enrolled 676 patients; 137 (20.3%) were assigned to the elderly group. The median age of the elderly and younger groups was 78 (range, 75-85) and 66 (range, 34-74) years. The median progression-free survival (4.8 months vs. 3.3 months, p = 0.1589) and median overall survival (12.3 months vs. 13.0 months, p = 0.5587) were similar between the elderly and younger groups. Multivariate analysis revealed that a significantly better OS in the elderly group was associated with better responses to first- or second-line ICI treatment (p = 0.011) and more immune-related adverse events (irAEs) (p = 0.02). IrAEs that led to ICI discontinuation occurred in 34 of 137 patients (24.8%) in the elderly group, and their survival was significantly higher than that in those who did not have irAEs. CONCLUSION ICI is also effective in elderly NSCLC patients, and treatment discontinuation due to irAEs may be a good prognostic marker.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
We previously reported that per-patient on-site computed tomography-fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR), which can be acquired on-site workstation using fluid structure interaction during the multiple optimal diastolic phases measured 1 to 2 cm distal to a target lesion may be feasible for risk stratification based on future cardiac events for patients who did not undergo planned revascularization. However, per-vessel CT-FFR and the additional impact of plaque analysis on CT-FFR have not been evaluated.
Purpose
The aim of this study is to assess the clinical and additional impact of novel plaque analysis using labeling method for per-vessel CT-FFR on midterm prognosis.
Methods
A total of 254 consecutive patients with 354 vessels showing 50–90% stenosis but not revascularized within 90 days from coronary CT angiography (CCTA) on 320-row CT were retrospectively analyzed and followed during a median follow up 3.6 years. Plaque characteristics by labeling method (necrotic core/total plaque volume (% necrotic core), non-calcified plaque (NCP)/vessel volume (%NCP), and total plaque/vessel volume (%total plaque) for both total vessel volume (mm3) and at minimum lumen area (MLA, mm2)), positive remodeling (PR) and CT-FFR were analyzed on per-target vessels. The endpoint was vessel oriented-composite outcome (VOCO), including cardiac death, non-fatal MI, and unplanned revascularization.
Results
The incidence of VOCO occurred in 6.8% (24/354). In the cox proportional hazard model, a multivariate analysis identified CT-FFR≤0.80 was the most associated factor with VOCO (all values <0.01 for other plaque morphologies), but %necrotic core, %NCP, %total plaque at MLA and PR were significantly independent of CT-FFR≤0.80. (%necrotic core HR; 3.43 (p<0.01 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.42–8.29]), %NCP HR; 4.05 (p=0.03 [95% CI 1.19–13.71]), %total plaque at MLA HR; 2.82 (p=0.02 [95% CI 1.18–6.76]), and PR HR; 2.90 (p<0.01 [95% CI 1.30–6.51]), respectively.)
Conclusion
From a view point of clinical outcomes for vessels with moderate to severe stenosis but not revascularized at initial CCTA, CT-FFR demonstrated the significant impact on per-vessel analysis. Moreover, %necrotic core, %NCP and %total plaque at MLA analyzed by labeling method provided better prognostic value in addition to CT-FFR.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) quantified from coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a new predictor of CT-derived high-risk plaque (HRP) and adverse cardiac events. There has been no report investigating the method to assess PCAT from non-contrast CT so far. In this present study, we developed a brand-new method to quantify the value of PCAT from electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated non-contrast CT (NC-PCAT).
Purpose
To develop a brand-new method to quantify NC-PCAT accurately, and evaluate its prognostic value.
Methods
We retrospectively studied two independent cohorts of patients undergoing CCTA and ECG-gated non-contrast CT for clinical indication of coronary artery disease (CAD). For former cohort of consecutive 300 patients, we validated the agreement between the NC-PCAT and PCAT, and evaluated the association between NC-PCAT and the prevalence of HRP. For latter cohort of consecutive 333 patients, we dichotomized them into two groups with median NC-PCAT, and assessed the prognostic value of NC-PCAT. To quantify NC-PCAT, we placed 15x15mm region of interest at epicardial fat tissue dorsally adjacent to right coronary ostium in axial slice of ECG-gated non-contrast CT, and defined NC-PCAT as the mean CT value of each 1x1mm pixel there. PCAT was quantified from CCTA using conventional method as described in former researches. Primary endpoint was defined as major adverse cardiac events (MACE), composite of all-cause death and non-fatal myocardial infarction. HRP was defined as coronary artery plaque which has two or more following features; positive remodeling, low attenuation, spotty calcification, and napkin-ring sign.
Results
NC-PCAT was well-correlated with PCAT (r=0.68, p<0.0001). In former cohort, we found HRP in 34 (11.3%) patients. In multivariable logistic regression analysis, higher NC-PCAT (OR 1.06, 95% CI 1.03–1.10, p=0.0001), coronary artery calcium score (CACS) (OR 1.01 per 10 CACS increase, 95% CI 1.00–1.02, p=0.013), and current smoking (OR 2.58, 95% CI 1.03–6.49, p=0.044) were independent predictors of the prevalence of HRP. Among patients with CACS more than zero (n=193), NC-PCAT (OR 1.06, 95% CI 1.03–1.10, p=0.0002), current smoking (OR 3.02, 95% CI 1.17–7.82, p=0.027), and male (OR 2.81, 95% CI 1.06–7.48, p=0.028) were independent predictors of the prevalence of HRP, whereas CACS was not (p=0.15). In latter cohort, the median duration of follow-up was 2.9 years (IQR 1.9–3.9), and 16 (4.8%) cases of MACE were identified. The cumulative incidence of MACE was significantly higher in high NC-PCAT group. Multivariable cox hazard regression analysis revealed that higher NC-PCAT was an independent predictor of primary endpoint, even after adjustment for sex and age (HR 4.28, 95% CI 1.20–12.52, p=0.012).
Conclusions
There was a positive correlation between NC-PCAT and PCAT. Higher NC-PCAT is significantly associated with not only the prevalence of HRP, but also worse clinical outcome.

Abstract
9110 Background: Previous studies have demonstrated poor clinical outcomes of patients (pts) with EGFRm NSCLC treated with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. However, a recent subgroup analysis of the IMpower150 trial suggested the effectiveness of ABCP in NSCLC with EGFRm. The aim of this study is to further evaluate efficacy and safety of ABCP in patients with EGFRm NSCLC. Methods: This single-arm multicenter phase 2 study included pts with nonsquamous NSCLC harboring sensitizing EGFRm with prior EGFR-TKI therapy. Pts received the combination dose of atezo 1200 mg, bev 15 mg/kg, carbo AUC 6 mg/mL/min and pac 175 mg/m2 every 3 weeks up to 4 cycles followed by atezo plus bev until loss of clinical benefit. The primary endpoint was PFS by extramural review (ER). The key secondary endpoints included OS, ORR, DoR, relative dose intensity of pac, and safety. Results: 60 pts were enrolled (median age 68 y [40–74 y], 67% were female, 55% were Ex19del and 40% were L858R). At data cutoff (November 30, 2021), median follow-up was 12.8 months in the ITT population. Median cycles of induction and maintenance therapy were 4 and 9, respectively. Median PFS was 7.4 month (95% CI, 5.7-8.2) and median OS was 18.9 month (95% CI, 13-not reached). Confirmed ORR by ER was 56% (95% CI, 43-69) and median DoR was 7.1 months (95% CI, 4.9-9.8). T790M was associated with a favorable PFS and response to the combination therapy (PFS 8.1 vs 6.8, ORR 71% vs 50%). Relative dose intensity of pac was 84%. Grade ≥3 adverse events (AEs) were reported in 92% of pts and the most common grade ≥3 AE was neutropenia (63%). Interstitial lung disease occurred in one patient (2%). AEs leading to treatment discontinuation occurred in 12% of pts. Conclusions: NEJ043 study showed that the median PFS of ABCP was 7.4 months with good tolerability. We will continue to investigate the tail plateau phenomenon of PFS and OS to conclude the clinical efficacy. Clinical trial information: 031190066.

Abstract
Angioimmunoblastic T‐cell lymphoma (AITL) is a type of peripheral T‐cell tumour that belongs to the group of non‐Hodgkin's lymphomas. Pulmonary lesions can be found in 7%–10% of AITL cases. Imaging findings of the lungs varied; however, immunoblastic infiltration in the lungs is rare. Our patient was a 73‐year‐old man who received repeated chemotherapy for AITL. Fourth‐line therapy using romidepsin controlled the illness, but the patient was hospitalized for dyspnoea and an infiltrative shadow. We performed bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), and the culture was positive for Haemophilus influenzae. The patient was initially discharged with antibiotic therapy, but hospitalized again. Antibiotics were ineffective and the patient required mechanical ventilation. BAL was performed again, after which fluid cytology revealed immunoblast‐like atypical cells. Therefore, the patient was diagnosed with pulmonary infiltration due to AITL. Steroid therapy proved ineffective, and the patient died. BAL was used to effectively diagnose pulmonary AITL infiltration.

Abstract
Background: Invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) is an infectious disease
where Streptococcus pneumoniae can be detected in the cerebrospinal fluid or blood. Methods: Eight patients presented to our hospital with adult IPD. We
compared with 69 cases of pneumococcal pneumonia treated in our department between 2012
and 2014. None of the patients had a history of pneumococcal vaccine administration. Results: Hematological examination showed the platelet count was
significantly lower and the serum C-reactive protein level was significantly higher in the
IPD group. There was a significant difference in the use of a respirator and mortality in
the IPD group. About antibiotics, Carbapenem and quinolone were used for the treatment of
many patients in the IPD group. In the fatal three cases of IPD, the age of all members
were 65 years or younger. Two of three had no underlying disease. Conclusion: IPD develops without elderly people and in those without
underlying disease. Also, the patients who took a sudden course may result in death. In
line with previous studies that have reported the effectiveness of the pneumococcal
vaccine, our study findings emphasize the need of administering vaccination for prevention
of IPD in person who was younger than 65 years old.

Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) derived from coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) enables anatomical and hemodynamical assessment of coronary artery disease. CT-FFR, which can be acquired on-site workstation using fluid structure interaction during the multiple optimal diastolic phase, has an incremental diagnostic value over conventional CCTA. However, few studies are focused on investigating the appropriate measurement location of CT-FFR, considering the prognosis, using CCTA as a standalone modality.
Purpose
The aim of this study is to assess the clinical impact on CT-FFR with an appropriate measurement.
Methods
A total of 370 consecutive patients who underwent CCTA in a single-heartbeat scan with a phase window of 70% to 99% of the R-R interval, showing 50–90% stenosis of at least one major epicardial vessel measuring ≥1.8 mm in diameter on CCTA were retrospectively analyzed and followed during a median follow up 2.9 years. CT-FFR values were measured at three points: 1, 2 cm distal to a target lesion (CT-FFR1cm, 2cm) and the vessel terminus (CT-FFRlowest), and a CT-FFR value ≤0.80 was considered abnormal. The endpoint was MACE, a composite of cardiac death, non-fatal MI, and unplanned revascularization.
Results
The incidence of MACE occurred in 8.4% (31/370) of the whole patients, including four cardiac deaths, ten all cause deaths, two non-fatal MI, and twenty unplanned revascularization. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis demonstrated a significantly higher cumulative MACE rate in patients with positive CT-FFR1cm and 2cm than those with negative CT-FFR1cm and 2cm, while there was no significant difference between negative and positive in CT-FFRlowest, among patients with negative CT-FFR1cm and 2cm (Figure 1). Among 221 patients, who did not perform early revascularization within 90 days from CCTA, there was no significant difference in CT-FFRlowest in the incidence of MACE. In contrast, the risk of MACE was significantly higher in both positive CT-FFR1cm and CT-FFR2cm (Figure 2).
Conclusion
From a view point of clinical outcome for patients with moderate to severe stenosis on CCTA, a CT-FFR value when measured at 1-to-2 cm distal to a target lesion could be feasible for the deferral of unnecessary invasive coronary angiography safely. Moreover, CT-FFR1–2cm showed better risk stratification measurement rather than CT-FFRlowest, based on future adverse cardiac event.

Abstract
OX40 (CD134) is a co-stimulatory molecule mostly expressed on activated T lymphocytes. Previous reports have shown that OX40 can be an immuno-oncology target and a clinical biomarker for cancers of various organs. In this study, we collected formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor samples from 124 patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) who had undergone surgery. We analyzed the expression profiles of OX40 and other relevant molecules, such as CD4, CD8, and Foxp3, in tumor stroma and cancer nest using immunohistochemistry and investigated their association with survival. High infiltration of OX40+ lymphocytes (OX40high) in tumor stroma was positively associated with relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) compared with low infiltration of OX40+ lymphocytes (OX40low) (RFS, median, 26.0 months [95% confidence interval (CI), not reached (NR)–NR] vs 13.2 months [9.1–17.2], p = .024; OS, NR [95% CI, NR–NR] vs 29.8 months [21.3–38.2], p = .049). Multivariate analysis revealed that OX40high in tumor stroma was an independent indicator of prolonged RFS. Moreover, RFS of patients with OX40high/CD4high in tumor stroma was significantly longer than that of patients with OX40low/CD4low. The RFS of patients with tumor stroma with OX40high/CD8high was significantly longer than that of patients with tumor stroma with OX40low/CD8high, OX40high/CD8low, or OX40low/CD8low. These findings suggest that OX40+ lymphocytes in tumor stroma play a complementary role in regulating the relapse of early-stage SCLC. Reinforcing immunity by coordinating the recruitment of OX40+ lymphocytes with CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in tumor stroma may constitute a potential immunotherapeutic strategy for patients with SCLC.

Abstract
The proband was a male in his seventies who came to our facility because of shortness of breath. He was not anemic but presented dissociation between oxygen saturation (SpO2) and partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) by blood gas analysis, and also demonstrated hemoglobinopathy after measurement of Hb A1c using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Twenty-three percent of unknown hemoglobin (Hb) bands were detected. After sequencing the β-globin gene, we noted a missense mutation at codon 74 (GGC>CGC) (Gly→Arg) of the β-globin chain and he was diagnosed with Hb Aalborg (HBB: c.223G>C). One of the proband's siblings was diagnosed to have a low SpO2 level and also diagnosed to carry Hb Aalborg; she was also mildly anemic. This is the first known familial case of Hb Aalborg in Japan. In addition to Hb Aalborg, our case had underlying chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Herein we present this case as a rare addition to the hematological literature.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Limited information is available on the appropriate treatment duration of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). We aimed to identify candidates who would benefit from ICI discontinuation after one year of treatment for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective multi-institutional observational study examined medical records of all consecutive patients with advanced or recurrent NSCLC, who started ICI monotherapy at 15 institutions in Japan between December 2015 and December 2017. Patients who received initial ICI therapy for >1 year without progressive disease were defined as the long-term treatment (LT) group; others were defined as the non-long-term treatment (NLT) group. Primary outcomes included the prognostic factors in the LT group, whereas secondary outcomes included efficacy of ICI rechallenge, safety, and survival outcomes in the overall population. RESULTS In total, 676 patients were enrolled, and 114 (16.9 %) were assigned to the LT group. The median time interval from the start of initial ICI administration to data cutoff was 34.3 months (range, 24.1-47.8); thus, all surviving patients were followed-up for at least 2 years from the start of initial ICI. Median progression-free survival (PFS) was longer in the LT than in the NLT group (33.6 months vs. 2.7 months; p < 0.001). On multivariate analysis, significantly better PFS was associated with smoking (hazard ratio [HR]=0.36, p = 0.04), and complete response (CR; HR=uncomputable, p < 0.001) in the LT group. Thirty-seven patients (5.5 %) received ICI rechallenge, including 10 in the LT group. Among patients receiving rechallenge treatment, the median PFS was 2.2 months, with no difference between the LT and NLT groups. CONCLUSIONS In the LT group, smoking and achieving CR were significantly associated with better PFS. Since rechallenge treatment was not effective, careful consideration is required for discontinuing ICI. However, these prognostic factors are helpful in considering candidates for ICI discontinuation. TRIAL REGISTRATION UMIN ID, UMIN000041403.

Abstract
Introduction Patients with mental illness are particularly at risk for OUD, and due to this higher risk, providers may be more inclined to withhold their home opioids when they are admitted to a psychiatric hospital. Patients whose home opioids are continued or withheld during admission may be treated differently with respect to pain control, orders for nonopioid adjunctive pain agents, orders for intramuscular as-needed medications, orders for seclusion and/or restraints, and outpatient referrals for OUD treatment. The objective of this retrospective pilot study was to characterize inpatient care for these 2 patient populations. Methods Thirty-one inpatient encounters were reviewed for patients who had opioid prescriptions before admission and were discharged from the medical center's psychiatric service from June 1 through August 31, 2019. Results Orders for nonopioid adjunctive pain agents and intramuscular as-needed medications trended higher for the opioid-withheld group, suggesting greater polypharmacy and patient dissatisfaction compared with the opioid-continued group. Additionally, what became evident was the lack of consistent and clear documentation regarding the discharge plans for the patients' home opioid and OUD treatment. Discussion These findings may prompt inpatient interdisciplinary teams to develop a better process of documentation to facilitate continuity of care.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Delta-like 1 homolog (DLK1) is a non-canonical Notch ligand known to be expressed in several cancers but whose role in lung cancer is not yet fully understood. We sought to confirm DLK1 expression in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and to examine DLK1's clinical significance. Furthermore, we examined the possible utility of DLK1 as a novel target in radioimmunotherapy (RIT). METHODS We retrospectively assessed the correlation between clinical features and DLK1 expression by immunohistochemistry in resected specimens from 112 patients with SCLC and 101 patients with NSCLC. Moreover, we performed cell and animal experiments, and examined the possibility of RIT targeting DLK1 in SCLC using iodine-125 (125I) -labeled anti-DLK1 antibody, knowing that 125I can be replaced with the alpha-particle-emitter astatine-211 (211At). RESULTS In SCLC and NSCLC, 20.5 % (23/112) and 16.8 % (17/101) of patients (respectively) had DLK1-positive tumors. In NSCLC, DLK1 expression was associated with recurrence-free survival (P < 0.01) but not with overall survival. In SCLC, there was no association between DLK1 expression and survival. In addition, 125I-labeled anti-DLK1 antibody specifically targeted DLK1 on human SCLC tumor cell lines. Furthermore, 125I-labeled anti-DLK1 antibody was incorporated into tumor tissue in a mouse model. CONCLUSION A proportion of SCLC and NSCLC exhibits DLK1 expression. As a clinical feature, DLK1 expression could be a promising prognostic factor for recurrence in patients with resected NSCLC. In addition, DLK1 could serve as a new therapeutic target, including RIT, as suggested by our pilot study using a radiolabeled anti-DLK1 antibody in SCLC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Few reports have explored clinical biomarkers, including those identified by targeted exome sequencing (TES) of surgically resected small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) and correlation with patient survival. PATIENTS AND METHODS We collected formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor samples from 127 patients with SCLC who had undergone surgery and analysed nonsynonymous somatic gene mutation profiles by TES of 26 cancer-related genes using next-generation sequencing (NGS) and web databases (UMIN Registration No. 000010117). RESULTS We detected 38 nonsynonymous somatic tumor protein p53 (TP53) mutations in 43 (54.4%) patients. Among these TP53 lesions, we identified clinically relevant mutations including those encoding Y220C, R248W, R249M, M237I, and R273L substitutions in the p53 protein. These mutations have been reported to be associated with certain clinical outcomes or biology in other types of malignancies but not in SCLC. Moreover, nonsynonymous somatic mutations of TP53 were positively associated with relapse-free survival (RFS) (median, 17.33 months [95% confidence interval (CI), 3.86-30.79] in a mutation-positive group vs 10.39 months (6.96-13.82) in a mutation-negative group, p = 0.042). Multivariate analysis revealed that nonsynonymous somatic TP53 mutation was an independent factor of prolongation of RFS (hazard ratio: 0.51, 95% CI: 0.29-0.89, p = 0.019) but not overall survival (OS). CONCLUSION These data suggested that TES may play a critical role for promoting reverse-translational studies, including investigations of the biology of TP53 mutations in different stages of SCLC. Accumulation of the data using cancer panels with a broader range of genes, including TP53, is expected to be useful for future clinical applications for patients with SCLC.

Abstract
Background The effectiveness of bevacizumab monotherapy in elderly patients with non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is unclear. The efficacy of the combinations for elderly patients was explored. Methods Untreated patients (≥75 years; performance status 0–1) with stage IIIB, IV, or recurrent non-squamous NSCLC were included. Patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation or anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene rearrangements were eligible even if they received tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive docetaxel (50 mg/m2) (DB) or pemetrexed (500 mg/m2) (PB) with bevacizumab (15 m/kg). The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Treatment was administered every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Results Overall, 103 patients (DB: n=51; PB: n=52) were enrolled. In the DB and PB arms, median ages [range] were 78 [75–88] and 79 [75–94] years, respectively; median PFS were 6.1 and 4.6 months, respectively [hazard ratio (HR), 1.03; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.66–1.61]; and response rates were 43%, and 40%, respectively (P=0.840). Grade ≥3 leukopenia, neutropenia, and fatigue incidences were significantly higher in the DB arm. Febrile neutropenia incidence did not differ significantly (16% vs. 12%, P=0.578). One patient in the PB arm died from a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. Quality of life (QoL) analysis revealed less deterioration in the PB arm. Conclusions In previously untreated elderly patients with non-squamous NSCLC, PB shows feasibility, better QoL, and promising efficacy in terms of PFS, and an objective response rate for further analysis (UMIN000012786).

Abstract
PURPOSE Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor combined with cytotoxic chemotherapy is highly effective for the treatment of advanced non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR mutations; however, little is known about the efficacy and safety of this combination compared with that of standard therapy with EGFR- tyrosine kinase inhibitors alone. METHODS We randomly assigned 345 patients with newly diagnosed metastatic NSCLC with EGFR mutations to gefitinib combined with carboplatin plus pemetrexed or gefitinib alone. Progression-free survival (PFS), PFS2, and overall survival (OS) were sequentially analyzed as primary end points according to a hierarchical sequential testing method. Secondary end points were objective response rate (ORR), safety, and quality of life. RESULTS The combination group demonstrated a better ORR and PFS than the gefitinib group (ORR, 84% v 67% [ P < .001]; PFS, 20.9 v 11.9 months; hazard ratio for death or disease progression, 0.490 [ P < .001]), although PFS2 was not significantly different (20.9 v 18.0 months; P = .092). Median OS in the combination group was also significantly longer than in the gefitinib group (50.9 v 38.8 months; hazard ratio for death, 0.722; P = .021). The rate of grade ≥ 3 treatment-related adverse events, such as hematologic toxicities, in the combination group was higher than in the gefitinib group (65.3% v 31.0%); there were no differences in quality of life. One treatment-related death was observed in the combination group. CONCLUSION Compared with gefitinib alone, gefitinib combined with carboplatin plus pemetrexed improved PFS in patients with untreated advanced NSCLC with EGFR mutations with an acceptable toxicity profile, although its OS benefit requires further validation.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The usefulness of fractional flow reserve (FFR) and instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) evaluation has been confirmed in the determination of revascularization of coronary artery disease. When FFR≤0.8 and iFR≤0.89 were regarded as the criteria for positivity, the discordance was noted in approximately 20%, but this cause has not been well established.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate the patient background and features on coronary CT angiography (CCTA) showing the discordance between FFR≤0.8 and iFR≤0.89.
Methods
The subjects were consecutive 85 cases with 108 vessels in which stenosis of 30–90% was detected at one vessel of at least 2mm or more in the major epicardial vessels and FFR and iFR was performed within subsequent 90 days, among suspected cases of coronary arterial diseases which underwent CCTA. The factors showing the discordance between FFR and iFR (patient background, coronary artery calcification score, high risk plaque features on CCTA (positive remodeling, low attenuation plaque), plaque characteristics by a plaque analysis software using a new algorithm called labeling method (vessel volume, plaque volume, lumen volume, plaque length, maximum plaque burden, necrotic core area, fibrous area and calcium area) were evaluated using logistic regression analysis on per-patient and per-vessel basis.
Results
There were no significant both FFR and iFR positive definite factors on per-patient basis. The lumen volume/vessel volume (OR: 0.93, 95% CI: 0.88–0.98, P=0.0032) (OR: 0.90, 95% CI: 0.85–0.95, P<0.0001),minimum lumen area (MLA) (OR: 0.59, 95% CI: 0.41–0.85, P=0.0006) (OR: 0.64, 95% CI: 0.44–0.92, P=0.0047), the plaque volume/vessel volume (OR: 1.05, 95% CI: 1.01–1.10, P=0.0114) (OR: 1.09, 95% CI: 1.04–1.15, P=0.0002) and maximum plaque burden (OR: 1.08, 95% CI: 1.01–1.15, P=0.0095) (OR: 1.06, 95% CI: 1.00–1.13, P=0.0406) were significant both FFR and iFR positive definite factors on per-vessels basis. Discordance between FFR≤0.8 and iFR≤0.89 was observed in 23 vessels (21.3%) of 19 patients. In FFR positive and iFR negative group (15 vessels, 13.9%), positive remodeling (PR) (OR: 4.38, 95% CI: 1.13–17.00, P=0.0294) was only significant predictor. In FFR negative and iFR positive group, there was no significant predictors.
Conclusions
In both FFR and iFR, only lumen volume /vessel volume, MLA, plaque volume/vessel volume and plaque burden were significant positive definite factors. As for the discordance between FFR and iFR, PR is significant predictor in FFR positive and iFR negative group.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Patients with concomitant advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and interstitial lung disease (ILD) are excluded from most clinical chemotherapy trials because of the high risk of exacerbating the latter condition. This study prospectively investigated the efficacy and safety of albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel) in combination with carboplatin in patients with both advanced NSCLC and ILD. PATIENTS AND METHODS The enrolled patients had treatment-naïve, advanced NSCLC with ILD. Patients received 100 mg/m2nab-paclitaxel weekly and carboplatin at an area under the concentration-time curve of 6 once every 3 weeks for 4-6 cycles. The primary endpoint was the overall response rate (ORR); secondary endpoints included toxicity, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). RESULTS Thirty-six patients were enrolled between April 2014 and September 2017. Sixteen patients (44.4%) had adenocarcinoma, 15 (41.7%) had squamous cell carcinoma (Sq), and 5 (13.9%) had non-small cell carcinoma. The median number of cycles administered were 4 (range: 1-6). The ORR was 55.6% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 39.6-70.5). The median PFS and OS were 5.3 months (95% CI: 3.9-8.2) and 15.4 months (95% CI: 9.4-18.7), respectively. A greater proportion of patients with Sq experienced improvements than did those with non-Sq: ORRs, 66.7% (95% CI: 41.7-84.8) vs. 47.6% (95% CI: 28.3-67.6) (P = 0.254); median PFS, 8.2 months (95% CI: 4.0-10.2) vs. 4.1 months (95% CI: 3.3-5.4) (HR, 0.60 [95% CI, 0.30-1.20]; P = 0.15); and median OS, 16.8 months (95% CI: 9.8-not reached) vs. 11.9 months (95% CI: 7.3-17.4) (HR, 0.56 [95% CI, 0.24-1.28]; P = 0.17). Two patients (5.6%) experienced grade ≥2 pneumonitis and 1 patient (2.8%) died. CONCLUSION Weekly nab-paclitaxel combined with carboplatin showed favorable efficacy with acceptable toxicity in patients with both advanced NSCLC and ILD.

Abstract
Abstract
Background:Delta-like protein 3 (DLL3) is a Notch ligand that has an important role in the tumorigenesis of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Recently, rovalpituzumab tesirine (Rova-T), a DLL3-targeted antibody-drug conjugate, has been developed for treating SCLC and has shown improved clinical response in patients with high DLL3 expression. DLL3 is a transcriptional target of the achaete-scute homolog-1(ASCL1) transcription factor, which is involved in pulmonary neuroendocrine cell development. However, the relationship between DLL3 and/or ASCL1 expression and the clinical features of SCLC remains unknown, especially for early-stage resected SCLC. This study aimed to investigate the expression of DLL3 and ASCL1 in resected SCLC samples using immunohistochemical analysis.
Materials and Methods:We collected 95 formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded SCLC samples, which were surgically resected at 11 institutions participating in either the Hokkaido Lung Cancer Clinical Study Group Trial (HOT) or the Fukushima Investigative Group for Healing Thoracic Malignancy (FIGHT) between 2003 and 2013. Immunohistochemistrystaining was performed to investigate the correlation between the expression of either DLL3 or ASCL1 and clinicopathological features of study patients.
Results:Seventy-seven (83%) of 93 immunohistochemically evaluable samples were positive for DLL3 (expression in ≥ 1% of tumor cells), and DLL3-high expression (≥ 75%) was observed in 44 samples (47%). Sixty-one (64%) of 95 samples were positive for ASCL1 (expression in ≥ 5% of tumor cells). A positive correlation was observed between DLL3 and ASCL1 expression. DLL3 and ASCL1 expression were not associated with survival in SCLC patients. DLL3 and ASCL1 were more prevalent in patients with advanced clinical disease and pure SCLC, respectively.
Conclusion:DLL3 and ASCL1 were highly expressed in surgically resected SCLC patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Delta-like protein 3 (DLL3) is a Notch ligand that has an important role in the tumorigenesis of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Recently, rovalpituzumab tesirine (Rova-T), a DLL3-targeted antibody-drug conjugate, has been developed for treating SCLC. DLL3 is a transcriptional target of the achaete-scute homolog-1 (ASCL1) transcription factor, which is involved in pulmonary neuroendocrine cell development. However, the relationship between DLL3 and/or ASCL1 expression and the clinical features of SCLC remains unknown, especially for early-stage resected SCLC. This study aimed to investigate the expression of DLL3 and ASCL1 in resected SCLC samples using immunohistochemical analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS We collected 95 surgically resected SCLC samples, which were formalin fixed and paraffin embedded. Immunohistochemistry staining was performed to investigate the correlation between the expression of either DLL3 or ASCL1 and clinicopathological features of study patients. RESULTS Seventy-seven (83%) of 93 immunohistochemically evaluable samples were positive for DLL3 (expression in ≥1% of tumor cells), and DLL3-high expression (≥75%) was observed in 44 samples (47%). Sixty-one (64%) of 95 samples were positive for ASCL1 (expression in ≥5% of tumor cells). A positive correlation was observed between DLL3 and ASCL1 expression. DLL3 and ASCL1 expression were not associated with survival in SCLC patients. DLL3 was more prevalent in patients with advanced clinical disease. CONCLUSION DLL3 and ASCL1 were highly expressed in patients with surgically resected SCLC. DLL3 and ASCL1 may be targets for the treatment of SCLC. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE This article examines the relationship between delta-like protein 3 (DLL3) and achaete-scute homolog-1 (ASCL1) protein expression with the clinical features of 95 surgically resected small cell lung cancer (SCLC). DLL3 is attracting attention because rovalpituzumab tesirine (Rova-T), a DLL3-targeted antibody-drug conjugate, was developed recently. DLL3 and ASCL1 were highly expressed in patients with surgically resected SCLC. DLL3 and ASCL1 may be targets for the treatment of early-stage SCLC, including with Rova-T.

Abstract
The herbal medicine rikkunshito has the potential to improve chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) by stimulating ghrelin secretion. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rikkunshito in preventing CINV for patients with lung cancer. Two separate prospective, randomized, phase II parallel design studies were conducted in patients with lung cancer. Fifty-eight and sixty-two patients scheduled to receive highly emetogenic chemotherapy (HEC) and moderately emetogenic chemotherapy (MEC), respectively, were randomized 1:1 to receive either standard antiemetic therapy in accordance with international guidelines (S group) or standard antiemetic therapy plus oral rikkunshito (R group). The primary endpoint was overall complete response (CR)-that is, no emesis and rescue medication in the first 120 h post-chemotherapy. Secondary endpoints included CR in the acute (0-24 h) and delayed (>24-120 h) phases and safety. Fifty-seven patients (S group, 28; R group, 29) receiving HEC and sixty-two patients (S group, 30; R group, 32) receiving MEC with comparable characteristics were evaluated. The CR rates were similar across the S and R groups for the HEC study in the overall (67.9% vs. 62.1%), acute (96.4% vs. 89.6%), and delayed (67.9% vs. 62.1%) phases, respectively, and for the MEC study in the overall (83.3% vs. 84.4%), acute (100% vs. 100%), and delayed (83.3% vs. 84.4%) phases, respectively. No severe adverse events were observed. Although rikkunshito was well tolerated, it did not demonstrate an additional preventative effect against CINV in lung cancer patients receiving HEC or MEC. Clinical Trial Registry Information: This study is registered with the University Hospital Medical Information Network (UMIN) Clinical Trial Registry, identification numbers UMIN 000014239 and UMIN 000014240.

Abstract
We herein report the case of myasthenic crisis occurring in a 51-year-old man. He had experienced ptosis, increased body weight with edema, and fatigue with dyspnea. He presented at our emergency department with disturbed consciousness. He was originally diagnosed with myxedema coma, and he required artificial respiration. Because his weakness persisted and he was positive for anti-acetylcholine receptor antibodies and anti-muscle-specific tyrosine kinase antibodies, we diagnosed myasthenic crisis after various examinations. His clinical response to treatment was good and he was discharged in an ambulatory status 3 months after admission. This case demonstrates that myasthenic crisis may occur in association with myxedema.

Abstract
Primary pulmonary osteosarcoma is a rare entity, with only a few cases reported in the literature to date. Moreover, secondary extraskeletal osteosarcoma of the lung following chemoradiotherapy is extremely rare and, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case. We herein present the case of an 80-year-old male patient with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC), who developed what it was initially considered as recurrence of the tumor after chemoradiotherapy. The patient eventually succumbed to the disease, and on autopsy it was discovered that the lung tumor was not in fact SCLC, but rather a secondary osteosarcoma. Osteosarcoma metastasis to the lung is very rare, but must be considered in the differential diagnosis when there is relapse following treatment for primary SCLC.

Abstract
PURPOSE A high proportion of patients with wild-type EGFR non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receive third-line therapy and beyond, with no prospective randomized trials addressing the issue. This study aimed to select the most suitable regimen as a third- or fourth-line therapy for wild-type EGFR NSCLC. METHODS This multicenter, randomized phase II study in Japan included patients with recurrent or advanced NSCLC with wild-type or unknown EGFR, who progressed after two or three previous chemotherapies. The patients were randomly assigned to erlotinib (150 mg/day, days 1-21) or S-1 (80-120 mg/day, days 1-14) every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was disease control rate (DCR). The secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), toxicity, and quality of life (QOL). RESULTS From 2011 to 2016, 37 patients were randomly assigned to receive erlotinib (E arm, n = 19) and S-1 (S arm, n = 18). This study was terminated prematurely because of poor patient accrual. DCR/ORR were 42.1%/15.8% in the E arm and 66.7%/16.7% in the S arm. Median PFS/OS were 1.6 months/8.0 months in the E arm and 3.3 months/12.2 months in the S arm. In both groups, the most commonly reported grade 3-4 toxicities were fatigue, anorexia, and nausea. One grade 5 pneumonitis occurred in the S arm. No significant difference was seen in QOL. CONCLUSIONS S-1 as a third- or fourth-line therapy for wild-type EGFR NSCLC showed numerically better clinical outcomes than erlotinib. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NO UMIN000005308.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Notch signaling plays an important role in tumorigenesis. Numb represses intracellular Notch signaling. Previous studies have demonstrated that Notch signaling suppresses the proliferation of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cell lines. However, in SCLC, the association between Notch1 and Numb expression and clinicopathological factors or prognosis has remained unclear. In this study, we evaluated the expression of Notch1 and Numb in SCLC.
Methods: We immunohistochemically assessed 125 SCLCs that were surgically resected at 16 institutions participating in either the Hokkaido Lung Cancer Clinical Study Group Trial (HOT) or the Fukushima Investigative Group for Healing Thoracic Malignancy (FIGHT) between 2003 and 2013. Correlations between Notch1 or Numb expression and various clinicopathological features were evaluated.
Results: Notch1 expression was associated with ECOG performance status. Numb expression was associated with age, sex, and pathological histology (SCLC or Combined SCLC). Analysis of cellular biological expression did not demonstrate a significant correlation between the expression of Notch1 and of Numb. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that high Notch1 expression was an independent favorable prognostic factor for SCLC (hazard ratio = 0.503, P = 0.023).
Conclusions: We demonstrate that Notch1 expression, but not Numb, is associated with prognosis in SCLC and may provide a novel prognostic marker of SCLC.

Abstract
Notch signaling in tumorigenesis functions as an oncogene or tumor suppressor according to the type of malignancy. Numb represses intracellular Notch signaling. Previous studies have demonstrated that Notch signaling suppresses the proliferation of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cell lines.

Abstract
Three middle‐aged male patients were admitted to our hospital complaining of dry cough, dyspnoea, and fever. All three of them had cleaned a refrigerator at a Chinese noodle mill using paint remover containing dichloromethane (90%) the previous day. Chest X‐rays revealed bilateral diffuse infiltrative shadows on the lungs. We performed transbronchial lung biopsies and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) via bronchoscopy for each patient. Bronchoalveolar lavage showed increased total cell count as well as lymphocyte and neutrophil fraction. Transbronchial lung biopsy revealed Masson bodies and slight lymphocyte infiltration into the alveolar septa. We diagnosed all three patients with hypersensitivity pneumonitis and acute lung injury caused by exposure to the paint remover containing dichloromethane. Two of these patients ultimately went into respiratory failure, requiring the administration of a corticosteroid. The third patient improved without the need of steroid therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bevacizumab is a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody against vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which is a key regulator of tumor angiogenesis. OBJECTIVE To evaluate biomarkers to predict the benefit of paclitaxel and carboplatin plus bevacizumab (PCB) therapy in patients with advanced or recurrent non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. METHODS Among 21 patients treated with PCB, 10 were included in the good responder group and 11 in the non-responder group. Serum VEGF, MMP-2 and MMP-9 were measured using ELISA. RESULTS There were no significant differences in these markers levels between groups. However, the good responder group showed a significantly higher pre-treatment MMP-9/ absolute neutrophil count (ANC) score than the non-responder group before the treatment (p= 0.014), and there was a positive correlation between the score and the tumor reduction rate (r= 0.57, p= 0.016). Furthermore, by dividing patients into a high scoring group (MMP-9/ANC ≥ median, n= 11) and a low scoring group (MMP-9/ANC < median, n= 10), former group showed a significant improvement in the median progression-free survival compared with latter group (636 vs. 196 days, p = 0.032). CONCLUSIONS MMP-9/ANC score before PCB treatment may be a suitable biomarker to assess the anti-tumor effects of PCB therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is often associated with respiratory diseases, but only a small number of patients present with severe PH defined as mean pulmonary arterial pressure ≥ 35 mm Hg. We here conducted a multicenter, retrospective study of patients with severe PH associated with respiratory diseases (R-PH) to reveal their demographics, treatment, prognosis and determinants of prognosis. METHODS From 101 patients with severe R-PH collected by postal survey at the first stage, 70 patients with four major diseases (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), combined pulmonary fibrosis with emphysema (CPFE), interstitial pneumonia associated with connective tissue disease (CTD-IP), interstitial pneumonia (IP)) and normal pulmonary arterial wedge pressure were studied for clinical characteristics, treatment and prognosis. RESULTS Three-year survival rates were 50% for COPD (n = 18), 35.7% for IP (n = 19) and 68.1% for CTD-IP (n = 20), and the 2-year survival rate for CPFE (n = 13) was only 22.6%. Eighty-one per cent of patients had been treated with pharmacotherapy specific for pulmonary arterial hypertension. Those patients who had received phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (PDE-5I) displayed significantly better survival from the date of diagnosis than those who had not (3-year survival: 61.8% vs 20.0% P < 0.0001), especially in the IP, CTD-IP and CPFE groups. Multivariate analysis also revealed that treatment with PDE-5I was a positive prognostic factor. CONCLUSIONS We here demonstrated the dismal prognosis of patients with severe R-PH. The remarkably better survival in those patients who had received PDE-5I warrants and facilitates future prospective randomized studies in this particular population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors are particularly effective in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients harboring active EGFR mutations. However, some studies have reported survival benefits in NSCLC patients with wild-type EGFR upon erlotinib treatment. This trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of erlotinib monotherapy and investigate the predictive values of several biomarkers. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with previously treated NSCLC but without EGFR gene mutations that had never or light smoked were eligible for this study. Gene status screening was performed using the PNA-LNA PCR clamp method. Erlotinib was administered until disease progression or unacceptable toxicities occurred. EGFR gene status was re-evaluated using the fragment method to detect exon 19 deletions and the Cycleave-PCR method to detect point mutations. Expression of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), Met, and thymidylate synthase (TS) were evaluated using immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Forty-seven patients were enrolled in the study between March 2010 and November 2011. Objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) were 15.2% and 41.3%. Re-evaluations for EGFR gene were performed in 32 tumor samples. EGFR gene mutations were found in eight samples (5:exon 19 deletion, 2:G719X, 1:L858R). Six patients had PR and two had SD among these eight patients. A total of 24 patients were confirmed as wild-type EGFR using different methods. ORR and DCR were 4.2% and 41.7%. The median progression free survival (PFS) and median survival times were 2.0 and 6.0 months, respectively. Patients with tumors expressing HGF showed shorter PFS but not MET or TS. CONCLUSIONS Re-examination of EGFR gene status using different detecting method or different sample should be considered to grasp a chance of erlotinib treatment after first line treatment. In confirmed EGFR wild NSCLC, negative HGF staining could be a biomarker for longer PFS by erlotonib treatment.

Right heart catheterization (RHC) is recommended for the definitive diagnosis of PH associated with respiratory disease (R-PH). However, no previous studies have evaluated the perceived necessity for pulmonologists to use RHC for R-PH diagnosis, or the management of R-PH in Japan. METHODS Questionnaires were mailed to 855 institutions, approved by the Japanese Respiratory Society. Questions included the prevalence and necessity of RHC and other methods in R-PH diagnosis, and current trends in the treatment of R-PH. RESULTS Questionnaires were returned from 289 institutions (34%). Patients with R-PH were examined by pulmonologists in 89% of institutions; some pulmonologists performed echocardiography (15%) and some RHC (13%). Echocardiography was used to diagnose R-PH in 99% of institutions and RHC was used in 36%. RHC was considered in cases of suspected PH in 49% of institutions and prior to initiation of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)-specific therapy in 57%. Of patients diagnosed with R-PH, 47% were treated with ambulatory oxygen therapy. Furthermore, 98 of 145 institutions used PAH-specific therapy to treat R-PH. Of the 1355 patients who underwent RHC as a part of PH evaluation, 29% were confirmed to have PH, and 8% had severe PH with a mean pulmonary arterial pressure of ≥35mmHg. CONCLUSIONS The current diagnostic and treatment modalities for R-PH in Japan were evaluated. Although few pulmonologists perform RHC for R-PH diagnosis in Japan, more than half consider using RHC for patients before initiating PAH-specific therapy.

Abstract
Amrubicin, a third-generation synthetic anthracycline agent, has favorable clinical activity and acceptable toxicity for the treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer. We conducted this study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of amrubicin for advanced NSCLC patients as a third- or fourth-line therapy. Eligible patients had recurrent or refractory advanced NSCLC after second- or third-line therapy. Patients received amrubicin, 35 mg/m(2) i.v. on days 1-3 every 3 weeks. The primary endpoint was the disease control rate (DCR). Secondary endpoints were the overall survival (OS) time, progression-free survival (PFS) time, response rate, and toxicity profile. Of the 41 patients enrolled, 26 received amrubicin as a third-line and 15 received it as a fourth-line therapy. The median number of treatment cycles was two (range, 1-9). Objective responses were complete response (n = 0), partial response (n = 4), stable disease (n = 21), progressive disease (n = 15), and not evaluable (n = 1), resulting in a DCR of 61.0% (95% confidence interval, 46.0%-75.9%). The overall response rate was 9.8% (95% confidence interval, 0.6%-18.8%). The median PFS interval was 3.0 months, median OS time was 12.6 months, and 1-year survival rate was 53.7%. Grade 3 or 4 hematological toxicities were neutropenia (68%), anemia (12%), thrombocytopenia (12%), and febrile neutropenia (17%). Nonhematological toxicities were mild and reversible. No treatment-related deaths were observed. Amrubicin showed significant clinical activity with manageable toxicities as a third- or fourth-line therapy for patients with advanced NSCLC. This study provides relevant data for routine practice and future prospective trials evaluating third- or fourth-line treatment strategies for patients with advanced NSCLC.
