Abstract

Abstract Compared to other malignancies, few studies have investigated the role of family history of cancer (FHC) in patients with lung cancer, yielding largely heterogeneous results. We performed a systematic literature review in accordance with PRISMA guidelines, searching the PubMed and Scopus databases from their inception to November 25, 2023, to identify studies reporting on the role of FHC in patients with lung cancer. A total of 53 articles were included, most with a retrospective design and encompassing a variety of geographical areas and ethnicities. Thirty studies (56.6%) assessed patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), while 17 studies (32.1%) assessed patients with mixed histologies. Overall, the rates of FHC ranged from 8.3 to 68.9%, and the rates of family history of lung cancer ranged from 2 to 46.8%. Twenty-seven studies investigated FHC as a potential risk factor for lung cancer, with more than half reporting an increased risk for subjects with FHC. Five studies reported on the potential role of FHC in determining clinical outcomes, and twelve studies examined the relationship between FHC and germline mutations. Notably, only one study reported a significantly increased rate of germline mutations, including ATM, BRCA2, and TP53, for patients with a family history of lung cancer compared to those without, but both groups had a low prevalence of mutations (

Abstract

Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) represents a group of blood disorders characterized by an absolute eosinophil count (AEC) > 1.5 × 103/μl in the peripheral blood, which eventually extravasate and cause organ damage. It can be primary or secondary to infections or tumors. The infiltration of eosinophils in tissue and organs is associated with different disorders and, in some cases, with life-threatening manifestations. Albeit the pathogenesis of HES in patients with solid tumo\rs is not yet clarified; recently, HES has also been described as an immune-related adverse event in patients with solid tumors receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors. Treatment of HES is still debated, especially in patients with concomitant solid tumors, and different drugs including imatinib, hydroxyurea, interferon-ɑ, glucocorticoids, and the monoclonal antibody targeting circulating IL-5 mepolizumab have been proposed according to the underlying cause and the severity of HES. Herein, we describe, for the first time, the successful use of mepolizumab for the treatment of immune checkpoint–induced HES in two patients with metastatic solid tumor.

Abstract

Rearrangements involving the neurotrophin kinase (NTRK) genes NTRK1, NTRK2 and NTRK3 with different fusion partners have been observed in both adult and pediatric solid tumors. Larotrectinib and entrectinib have been the first tumor-agnostic compounds approved for the treatment of NTRK fusion-positive tumors. Here, we report the first case of a female patient with a diagnosis of stage IV lung adenocarcinoma harboring the EML4::NTRK3 gene fusion, and successfully treated with entrectinib.

Abstract

The ability to identify the broadest range of targetable gene fusions is crucial to facilitate personalized therapy selection for advanced lung adenocarcinoma (LuADs) patients harboring targetable receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) genomic alterations. In order to evaluate the most effective testing approach for LuAD targetable gene fusion detection, we analyzed 210 NSCLC selected clinical samples, comparing in situ (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization, FISH, and ImmunoHistoChemistry, IHC) and molecular (targeted RNA Next-Generation Sequencing, NGS, and RealTime-PCR, RT-PCR) approaches. The overall concordance among these methods was high (>90%), and targeted RNA NGS was confirmed to be the most efficient technique for gene fusion identification in clinical practice, allowing the simultaneous analysis of a large set of genomic rearrangements at the RNA level. However, we observed that FISH was useful to detect targetable fusions in those samples with inadequate tissue material for molecular testing as well as in those few cases whose fusions were not identified by the RNA NGS panel. We conclude that the targeted RNA NGS analysis of LuADs allows accurate RTK fusion detection; nevertheless, standard methods such as FISH should not be dismissed, as they can crucially contribute to the completion of the molecular characterization of LuADs and, most importantly, the identification of patients as candidates for targeted therapies.

Abstract

BACKGROUND Among patients with resectable early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), a perioperative approach that includes both neoadjuvant and adjuvant immune checkpoint inhibition may provide benefit beyond either approach alone. METHODS We conducted a randomized, double-blind, phase 3 trial to evaluate perioperative pembrolizumab in patients with early-stage NSCLC. Participants with resectable stage II, IIIA, or IIIB (N2 stage) NSCLC were assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive neoadjuvant pembrolizumab (200 mg) or placebo once every 3 weeks, each of which was given with cisplatin-based chemotherapy for 4 cycles, followed by surgery and adjuvant pembrolizumab (200 mg) or placebo once every 3 weeks for up to 13 cycles. The dual primary end points were event-free survival (the time from randomization to the first occurrence of local progression that precluded the planned surgery, unresectable tumor, progression or recurrence, or death) and overall survival. Secondary end points included major pathological response, pathological complete response, and safety. RESULTS A total of 397 participants were assigned to the pembrolizumab group, and 400 to the placebo group. At the prespecified first interim analysis, the median follow-up was 25.2 months. Event-free survival at 24 months was 62.4% in the pembrolizumab group and 40.6% in the placebo group (hazard ratio for progression, recurrence, or death, 0.58; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.46 to 0.72; P<0.001). The estimated 24-month overall survival was 80.9% in the pembrolizumab group and 77.6% in the placebo group (P = 0.02, which did not meet the significance criterion). A major pathological response occurred in 30.2% of the participants in the pembrolizumab group and in 11.0% of those in the placebo group (difference, 19.2 percentage points; 95% CI, 13.9 to 24.7; P<0.0001; threshold, P = 0.0001), and a pathological complete response occurred in 18.1% and 4.0%, respectively (difference, 14.2 percentage points

Abstract

Purpose of review In the current review, we will explore the molecular bases that have determined the design of clinical trials exploring the efficacy of antivascular agents in combination with chemotherapy, immune check point inhibitors and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in patients with advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer. Recent findings Recent clinical trials have demonstrated the synergistic effect of antivascular agents with immune checkpoint inhibitors and EGFR-TKIs, despite no molecular marker has been identified yet to select patients. Summary Lung cancer remains one of the first causes of cancer-related death. However, thanks to the development of stratified molecular medicine and the introduction of immune checkpoint inhibitors, patients' survival has significantly improved. Due to the critical role of pro-angiogenic factors in cancer progression, antivascular agents targeting the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptor (VEGFR) have been developed. Their efficacy has been explored in combination with chemotherapy, and immune checkpoint inhibitors, with promising but not definitive conclusions about their impact on prolonging patients' survival.

Abstract

Immune-related adverse events (irAEs) due to immune checkpoint inhibitors are responsible for a considerable burden of morbidity and mortality. Predictors of severity of rheumatic irAEs have not been identified yet. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis whether the presence of autoantibodies could be associated with a more severe and difficult-to-treat clinical phenotype of rheumatic irAEs.Patients referred to our centre due to the onset of rheumatic irAEs were prospectively recruited between June 2018 and December 2020. A pre-specified panel of autoantibodies was tested in each patient at baseline visit. All patients were started on glucocorticoids and then followed-up. Conventional or biologic immunosuppressants were started in case of steroid-refractory or relapsing disease. Logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the association between the baseline positivity of at least one autoantibody and the necessity of an add-on therapy.Fourty-three patients with rheumatic irAEs were enrolled. Twenty-five (58%) patients had positivity of at least one of the tested autoantibodies. Twenty-two (51%) patients required the start of an additional immunosuppressant during follow-up. The only factor associated with the necessity of an add-on therapy was autoantibody positivity (OR=9.65, 95% CI:2.09-44.56; p-value 0.004).The presence of autoantibodies in patients with cancer who develop rheumatic irAEs could predict their progression to difficult-to-treat clinical manifestations. This finding might prompt a future therapeutic approach based on a tailored and earlier immunosuppressive treatment in selected cases.
