Efficacy of pembrolizumab and biomarker analysis in patients with WGS-based intermediate to high tumor mutational load: results from the Drug Rediscovery Protocol
CONCLUSION: While in cohort A pembrolizumab lacked activity, cohort B and cohort C met the study's primary endpoint. Further research is warranted to refine selection of patients with tumors harboring lower TMLs and may benefit from a focus on innate immunity.PMID:38630551 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-24-0011 (Source: Clinical Cancer Research)

A cohort study of CNS tumors in Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1
CONCLUSIONS: Incidence of each CNS tumor was higher in the MEN1 population than in the French general population. Meningiomas and ependymomas should be considered part of the MEN1 syndrome, but somatic molecular data are missing to conclude for astrocytomas and schwannomas.PMID:38630553 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-3308 (Source: Clinical Cancer Research)

Overcoming osimertinib resistance with AKT inhibition in EGFRm-driven Non-Small-Cell-Lung-Cancer with PIK3CA/PTEN alterations
CONCLUSIONS: Together, this approach offers a potential treatment strategy for patients with EGFRm-driven NSCLC that have a sub-optimal response, or develop resistance, to osimertinib through PIK3CA/AKT/PTEN alterations.PMID:38630555 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-2540 (Source: Clinical Cancer Research)

Low-dose ionizing γ-radiation elicits the extrusion of neutrophil extracellular traps
CONCLUSIONS: NETosis is induced by low-dose ionizing irradiation in a neutrophil-intrinsic fashion and radiation-induced NETs are able to interfere with immune-mediated cytotoxicity. Radiation-induced NETs foster metastasis in mouse models and can be detected in the circulation of patients undergoing conventional radiotherapy treatments.PMID:38630754 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-3860 (Source: Clinical Cancer Research)

Spatially preserved multi-region transcriptomic subtyping and biomarkers of chemoimmunotherapy outcome in extensive-stage small cell lung cancer
CONCLUSIONS: This work suggests that intratumoral heterogeneity, inconsistent association with outcome, and unclear subtype-specific target expression might be significant challenges for subtype-based precision oncology in SCLC. Pre-existing IFNg-driven immunity and mitochondrial metabolism seem correlates of long-term efficacy in this study, although the absence of a chemotherapy control arm precludes concluding that these are predictive features specific for immunotherapy.PMID:38630755 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-24-0104 (Source: Clinical Cancer Research)

Facts and hopes on cancer immunotherapy for small cell lung cancer
Clin Cancer Res. 2024 Apr 17. doi: 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-1159. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPlatinum-based chemotherapy plus PD-1 axis blockade is the standard of care in the front-line treatment of extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). Despite the robust and consistent increase of long-term survival with PD-1 axis inhibition, the magnitude of the benefit from immunotherapy appears lower as compared to other solid tumors. Several immune evasive mechanisms have been shown to be prominently altered in human SCLC, including, among others, T cell exclusion, downregulation of components of the MHC-class I antige...

Diffuse pleural mesotheliomas with genomic near-haploidization: a newly recognized subset with distinct clinical, histologic, and molecular features
CONCLUSIONS: GNH defines an aggressive subtype of mainly biphasic DPMs in younger patients with recurrent alterations in SETDB1 and TP53. The enrichment in biphasic histology and TILs, together with our preliminary ICB response data and anecdotal clinical trial data, suggests that further evaluation of immunotherapy may be warranted in this subset.PMID:38630790 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-24-0085 (Source: Clinical Cancer Research)
