Despite the outstanding results achieved by osimertinib for the treatment of advanced EGFR-mutated NSCLC, the development of resistance is almost inevitable. While molecular mechanism responsible for osimertinib resistance are being mostly revealed, the definition of predictive biomarkers is crucial in order to identify patients at higher risk of progression and optimize treatment strategy.
Materials and Methods
This is a prospective single-center study aimed to assess the potential role of liquid biopsy and 18F-FDG PET/CT derived metabolic parameters as noninvasive predictive biomarkers of osimertinib outcomes in advanced EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients. Patients underwent blood samples for ctDNA analysis at baseline, after 15 days and 1 month (t1) of osimertinib. 18F-FDG PET/CT was performed at baseline and after 1 month of osimertinib.
Results
Seventy-two advanced EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients treated with osimertinib in first (n = 63) and in second-line (n = 9) were prospectively enrolled. Baseline positive shedding status was significantly associated with a shorter progression-free survival (PFS) (9.5 vs. 29.2 months, P = .031). Early metabolic response (MR) led to improved PFS (16.8 vs. 5.5 months, P = .038) and OS (35.2 vs. 15.3 months, P = .047). Early MR was significantly correlated with subsequent radiologic response (P = .010). All 18F-FDG PET/CT baseline parameters were significantly related to baseline EGFR activating mutation allele frequency. Both clearance and no detection of EGFR at t1 were significantly associated with MR (P = .001 and P = .004, respectively).
Conclusion
Molecular and 18F-FDG PET/CT derived metabolic parameters might represent a useful tool to predict osimertinib outcome in advanced EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients.

Aims
Despite known short-term mortality risk of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) pneumonitis, its impact on 1-year mortality, long-term pulmonary function, symptom persistence, and radiological resolution remains unclear.
Methods
We retrospectively analyzed 71 nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with anti-PD(L)1 monoclonal antibodies between 2018-2021, who developed pneumonitis. Clinical and demographic covariates were collected from electronic medical record. Cox regression assessed associations with mortality, while logistic regression evaluated associations with persistent symptoms, hypoxemia, and radiological resolution.
Results
Steroid-refractory pneumonitis (hazard ratio [HR] = 15.1, 95% confidence interval [95% CI]:3.9-57.8, P < .0001) was associated with higher 1-year mortality compared to steroid-responsive cases. However, steroid-resistant (odds ratio [OR] = 1.4, 95% CI: 0.4-5.1, P = .58) and steroid-dependent (OR = 0.4, 95% CI: 0.1-1.2, P = .08) pneumonitis were not. Nonadenocarcinoma histology (OR = 6.7, 95% CI: 1.6-46.6, P = .01), grade 3+ pneumonitis (OR = 4.6, 95% CI: 1.3-22.7, P = .03), and partial radiological resolution (OR = 6.3, 95% CI: 1.8-23.8, P = .004) were linked to increased pulmonary symptoms after pneumonitis resolution. Grade 3+ pneumonitis (OR = 8.1, 95% CI: 2.3-31.5, P = .001) and partial radiological resolution (OR = 5.45, 95% CI: 1.29-37.7, P = .03) associated with residual hypoxemia. Nonadenocarcinoma histology (OR = 3.6, 95% CI: 1.01-17.6, P = .06) and pretreatment ILAs (OR = 4.8, 95% CI: 1.14-33.09, P = .05) were associated with partial radiological resolution.
Conclusions
Steroid refractory pneumonitis increases 1-year mortality in NSCLC patients. Pretreatment ILAs may signal predisposition to fibrosis-related outcomes, seen as partial resolution, which in turn is associated with postresolution symptoms and residual hypoxemia. These findings offer insights for identifying patients at risk of adverse outcomes post-pneumonitis resolution.

Introduction
Lung cancer remains the most common malignancy and the leading cancer-related death among the elderly in China, which deserves more research attention. Immunotherapy combined with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy has been approved as the standard treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who are devoid of specific gene mutations or fusions. Given that patients with NSCLC over the age of 65 typically exhibit declining organ function and physical condition, they often showed reduced tolerance for this rigorous treatment regimen. However, the KEYNOTE-042 study illuminated a promising pathway: in patients testing positive for programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), immunotherapy alone has demonstrated a superior overall survival (OS) compared to platinum-based doublet chemotherapy. This suggests that moderating the intensity of chemotherapy and prioritizing immunotherapy may be a gentler alternative in elderly demographic.
Patients and Methods
This multicenter phase II clinical trial named UNICORN aimed to enroll 49 patients aged 65 and older, utilizing paclitaxel or nab-paclitaxel for those with squamous NSCLC, and pemetrexed for those diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma. The treatment protocol entails 4 cycles of serplulimab plus chemotherapy followed by an extended regimen of serplulimab maintenance, spanning a total of 35 cycles. Primary endpoints of this study are progression-free survival (PFS), disease control rate (DCR) and the secondary endpoints are OS, objective control rate (ORR) and safety metrics.
Conclusion
This is the first study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of serplulimab combined with either paclitaxel or pemetrexed in elderly treatment-naïve patients with stage IV NSCLC whose PD-L1 are positive.

Background
The Pacific trial reported improved outcomes when durvalumab was administered following concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for stage III NSCLC. Post-hoc subgroup analysis did not show favorable results for PD-L1 negative cases. We compared nationwide survival data with the trial outcomes, and evaluated the influence of PD-L1.
Patients and methods
Data from the Netherlands Cancer Registry were queried regarding patients with clinical stage III who underwent CRT, either by concurrent or sequential administration. Predictors for the use of consolidation treatment with durvalumab were evaluated by tabulations and logistic regression analysis. Overall survival (OS) was calculated from start of radiation or start of durvalumab and was stratified by PD-L1 score.
Results
Between 2017 and 2021, application of consolidation durvalumab increased from 2% to 21%, 40%, 57%, 62%, respectively. In the period 2020-2021, durvalumab use was more frequent among patients with younger age, concurrent CRT, better performance score and proton radiation, but was irrespective of PD-L1 score.
For patients receiving durvalumab (n = 1639), the 4-year OS was 53% overall (95%CI 50-57), and it was 56% (95%CI 52-60) after concurrent CRT. Four-year OS was considerably better for the PD-L1 subgroup ≧50% at 67% (95%CI 59-73), and it was similar for PD-L1 subgroups 0 and 1-49, at 51% (95%CI 42-58) and 46% (95%CI 39-54), respectively.
Conclusion
In real-world clinical practice, survival outcomes were equivalent to results from trial series. Overall survival in patients with negative PD-L1 was similar to the survival in patients with PD-L1 1-49, questioning the restrictions imposed by the European Medicines Agency.

The optimal subsequent treatment strategy for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC) after chemoradiotherapy (CRT) and consolidative durvalumab therapy remains unknown. We aimed to determine the optimal subsequent treatment strategy for this clinical population.
Materials and Methods
We retrospectively enrolled 523 consecutive patients with LA-NSCLC treated with CRT and analyzed the treatment outcomes of subsequent therapy after progression following CRT and consolidative durvalumab therapy. Patients who received tyrosine kinase inhibitors as subsequent therapy were excluded.
Results
Out of 122 patients who received subsequent chemotherapy, 55% underwent platinum-based, 25% non-platinum-based, and 20% immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-containing therapies. In the platinum-based group, patients with a durvalumab-progression-free survival (Dur-PFS) ≥ 1 year had a significantly longer median subsequent therapy-PFS (SubTx-PFS) than those with Dur-PFS < 1 year (13.2 months vs. 4.7 months; hazard ratio, 0.45; 95% confidence interval, 0.21–0.97; P = .04). Furthermore, among patients receiving non-platinum-based chemotherapy, the median SubTx-PFS was longer in the combined with angiogenesis inhibitor group than in the without group, although the difference was not statistically significant. No significant difference of SubTx-PFS was observed between the reason for durvalumab discontinuation and the outcomes of ICI-containing therapy.
Conclusion
In clinical practice, platinum-based chemotherapy rechallenge is frequently employed following progression subsequent to CRT and consolidative durvalumab therapy for LA-NSCLC. Optimal treatment strategies may consider Dur-PFS and angiogenesis inhibitor feasibility. Further research is warranted to identify clinical biomarkers that can help identify patients who would benefit from ICI rechallenge.
背景局部晚期非小细胞肺癌(LA-NSCLC)化放疗(CRT)和durvalumab巩固治疗后的最佳后续治疗策略仍然未知。我们旨在确定这一临床人群的最佳后续治疗策略。材料与方法我们回顾性纳入了523例连续接受CRT治疗的LA-NSCLC患者,并分析了CRT和durvalumab巩固治疗进展后的后续治疗结果。结果在接受后续化疗的122例患者中,55%接受了铂类治疗,25%接受了非铂类治疗,20%接受了含免疫检查点抑制剂(ICI)的治疗。在铂类药物组中,durvalumab无进展生存期(Dur-PFS)≥1年的患者的中位后续治疗无进展生存期(SubTx-PFS)明显长于Dur-PFS < 1年的患者(13.2个月 vs. 4.7个月;危险比,0.45;95%置信区间,0.21-0.97;P = .04)。此外,在接受非铂类化疗的患者中,联合使用血管生成抑制剂组的中位SubTx-PFS长于未使用血管生成抑制剂组,但差异无统计学意义。结论在临床实践中,LA-NSCLC患者在接受CRT和德伐卢单抗巩固治疗后,如果病情进展,通常会重新接受铂类化疗。最佳治疗策略可考虑Dur-PFS和血管生成抑制剂的可行性。有必要开展进一步研究,以确定哪些临床生物标志物可帮助识别从 ICI 重新挑战中获益的患者。

Background
According to WHO, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, but treatment has advanced in the last decade. The widespread use of Next Generation Sequencing has led to the discovery of several pathogenic mutations including RNA binding motif 10 (RBM10), a part of the spliceosome complex that regulates splicing of pre-mRNA.
Patients and Methods
Electronic medical records were utilized to create a database of patients (50 patients) seen from 2018-2023 with NSCLC and RBM10 mutations, with appropriate IRB approval. For subgroup analysis, we separated into groups by rapid progression vs stable disease defined as progression-free survival earlier than respective clinical trials.
Results
From the analysis of treatment response the mutated RBM10 population had a median PFS was 6.7 months compared to 13.9 in the wild-type RBM10 population controlled for driver mutations TP53 mutation had a higher representation in the RBM10 mutated rapid progression group than the stable disease group. The ZFHX3 mutation had a higher representation in the RBM10 mutated stable disease group.
Conclusions
RBM10 mutations were associated with aggressive disease with treatment progression faster than median durations of response. RBM10 mutations with concurrent ZFHX3 and EGFR mutations were associated with more stable disease, while concurrent KRAS and TP53 predicted even more aggressive disease.

Purpose
MET amplification is a common resistance mechanism to EGFR inhibition in EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Several trials showed encouraging results with combined EGFR and MET inhibition (EGFRi/METi). However, MET amplification has been inconsistently defined and frequently included both polysomy and true amplification.
Methods
This is a multicenter, real-world analysis in patients with disease progression on EGFR inhibition and MET copy number gain (CNG), defined as either true amplification (MET to centromere of chromosome 7 ratio [MET-CEP7] ≥ 2) or polysomy (gene copy number ≥ 5, MET-CEP7 < 2).
Results
A total of 43 patients with MET CNG were included, 42 of whom were detected by FISH. Twenty-three, 7, and 14 received EGFRi/METi, METi, and SoC, respectively. Patients in the EGFRi/METi cohort exhibited a superior real-world clinical benefit rate, defined as stable disease or better, of 82% (95% confidence interval [CI], 60-95) compared to METi (29%, 4-71) and SoC (50%, 23-77). Median real-world progression-free survival was longer with EGFRi/METi with 9.8 vs. 4.3 months with METi (hazard ratio [HR], 0.19, 95% CI, 0.06-0.57) and 3.7 months with SoC (0.41, 0.18-0.91), respectively. Overall survival was numerically improved. Interaction analysis with treatment and type of CNG (amplification vs. polysomy) suggests that differences were exclusively driven by MET-amplified patients receiving EGFRi/METi (HR for OS, 0.09, 0.01-0.54).
Conclusion
In this real-world study, EGFRi/METi showed clinical benefit over METi and SoC. Future studies should focus on the differential impact of the type of MET CNG with a focus on true MET amplification as predictor of response.
在表皮生长因子受体突变的非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)中,MET扩增是表皮生长因子受体抑制剂的常见耐药机制。一些试验显示,表皮生长因子受体和 MET 联合抑制(EGFRi/METi)取得了令人鼓舞的结果。然而,MET 扩增的定义并不一致,经常包括多倍体和真正的扩增。这是一项针对表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)抑制和MET拷贝数增殖(CNG)患者的多中心真实世界分析,MET拷贝数增殖定义为真正扩增(MET与7号染色体中心粒的比值[MET-CEP7]≥2)或多体(基因拷贝数≥5,MET-CEP7<2)。共纳入 43 例 MET CNG 患者,其中 42 例是通过 FISH 检测到的。分别有23人、7人和14人接受了EGFRi/METi、METi和SoC治疗。与METi(29%,4-71例)和SoC(50%,23-77例)相比,EGFRi/METi队列患者的实际临床获益率(定义为疾病稳定或更好)更高,达到82%(95%置信区间[CI],60-95)。EGFRi/METi的中位实际无进展生存期更长,METi为9.8个月,SoC为3.7个月(0.41,0.18-0.91),METi为4.3个月(危险比[HR],0.19,95% CI,0.06-0.57)。总生存期在数字上有所改善。与治疗方法和CNG类型(扩增与多倍体)的交互分析表明,只有接受EGFRi/METi治疗的MET扩增患者才会出现差异(OS的HR为0.09,0.01-0.54)。在这项真实世界研究中,EGFRi/METi比METi和SoC显示出临床获益。未来的研究应关注 MET CNG 类型的不同影响,重点关注真正的 MET 扩增作为预测反应的指标。然而,MET扩增一词的使用并不一致,而且经常包括多体。在这项回顾性研究中,与SoC相比,MET和表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)联合抑制可使真正的MET扩增而非多核患者获得临床获益。

The genomic landscape of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the Indian patients remains underexplored. We revealed distinctive genomic alterations of Indian NSCLC patients, thereby providing vital molecular insights for implementation of precision therapies.
Methods
We analyzed the genomic profiles of 325 lung adenocarcinoma and 81 lung squamous carcinoma samples from Indian patients using targeted sequencing of 50 cancer related genes. Correlations between genomic alterations and clinical characteristics were computed using statistical analyses. Additionally, we identified distinct features of Indian NSCLC genomes by comparison across different ethnicities.
Results
Our genomic analysis revealed several noticeable features of Indian NSCLC patients. Alterations in EGFR (45.8%), TP53 (27.4%), ALK (11.4%) and KRAS (10.2%) were predominant in adenocarcinoma, with 68% eligible for targeted therapies. Squamous carcinoma exhibited prevalent alterations in TP53 (40.7%), PIK3CA (17.3%), and CDKN2A (8.6%). We observed higher frequency of EGFR alterations (18.5%) in lung squamous carcinoma patients, significantly distinct from other ethnicities reported till date. Beyond established correlations, we observed 60% of PD-L1 negative squamous patients harbored TP53 alterations, suggesting intriguing therapeutic implications.
Conclusions
Our data revealed unique genomic variations of adenocarcinoma and squamous carcinoma patients, with significant indications for precision medicine and clinical practice of lung cancers. The study emphasizes the importance of clinical utility of NGS for routine diagnostics.
