WHAT IS THIS SUMMARY ABOUT?This summary outlines the findings from the ANANKE study on the treatment of patients with severe eosinophilic asthma (SEA) with benralizumab. SEA is an inflammatory disease of the lungs caused by eosinophils. Patients with SEA may experience asthma attacks (exacerbations) and decreased ability to breathe (lung function) despite taking medications. Benralizumab (Fasenra®) is a biologic therapy (a medicine produced using living cells) approved for the treatment of SEA.The ANANKE study was conducted in Italy and evaluated the characteristics of patients with SEA who received benralizumab as prescribed by their doctors. It also described the effects of benralizumab on participants in terms of frequency of exacerbations, lung function and overall control of asthma, and their need to take oral corticosteroids (OCS) to control symptoms. The effects of benralizumab have been observed in participants treated for: 1) an average of 10.3 months, and 2) up to 96 weeks (approximately 2 years). The effects were also compared between different groups: 1) participants with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and those without, and 2) participants who received other biologics before benralizumab (bio-experienced) and those who started with benralizumab as their first biologic (naïve). CRSwNP is an inflammatory condition that makes breathing even more difficult.WHAT WERE THE KEY FINDINGS?Before receiving benralizumab, participants showed a high blood eosinophil count (the number of eosinophils in the bloodstream), frequent exacerbations, insufficient lung function, and poor disease control (symptom management). After 96 weeks, benralizumab almost eliminated exacerbations, improved lung function, reduced the use of OCS, and increased the control of SEA symptoms while lowering blood eosinophil count. Comparable effects were observed between participants with and without CRSwNP and between naïve and bio-experienced participants.WHAT WERE THE MAIN CONCLUSIONS REPORTED BY THE RESEARCHERS?The ANANKE study showed that participants had frequent exacerbations and were characterized by eosinophilic inflammation before starting benralizumab. Overall, benralizumab improved the control of the disease for up to 2 years and induced similar beneficial effects regardless of the presence of CRSwNP and the use of previous biologics. These findings highlight the long-lasting and broad action of benralizumab.Clinical Trial Registration: NCT04272463 (ANANKE) (ClinicalTrials.gov).

Aim: This cohort study evaluated the association between immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs)-induced immune-related adverse events (irAEs) and mortality as well as ICI discontinuation among older adults with NSCLC.Methods: 2007-2019 Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results-Medicare linked database was used and survival analysis with time-varying exposure of irAEs was applied to estimate the associations.Results & conclusion: A total of 8,175 individuals were included, with 46.8% of whom developed an irAE. Cox regression models showed the occurrence of any irAEs was associated with increased risk of mortality (HR: 1.73, 95% CI: 1.63-1.82) and treatment discontinuation (HR: 1.87, 95% CI: 1.78-1.97). Some variability was observed in the effect on the two outcomes depending on the type of irAE.

Immune-mediated sinusitis is poorly described and may easily go undiagnosed. We conducted a retrospective, multicenter, national study focusing on symptomatic immune-mediated sinusitis in patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) for melanoma treatment. Twelve patients were included (50% women, median age 58 years). Overall, the paraclinical assessment, the inefficacy of antibiotic/antihistaminic treatment, the improvement of symptoms on immunosuppressants and/or after ICI discontinuation, and the presence of multiple concomitant immune-related adverse-events, suggested a noninfectious etiology. Recognizing this toxicity is imperative for limitation of diagnostic wandering and appropriate treatment. However, additional epidemiological studies are needed to assess its prevalence as a potential immune-related adverse-event, and its prognostic value in patients treated with ICIs.

Aim: This first-in-human study evaluated safety and efficacy of CD40 agonist MEDI5083 with durvalumab in patients with advanced solid tumors.Methods: Patients received MEDI5083 (3-7.5 mg subcutaneously every 2 weeks × 4 doses) and durvalumab (1500 mg every 4 weeks) either sequentially (N = 29) or concurrently (N = 9). Primary end point was safety; secondary end points included efficacy.Results: Thirty-eight patients received treatment. Most common adverse events (AEs) were injection-site reaction (ISR; sequential: 86%; concurrent: 100%), fatigue (41%; 33%), nausea (20.7%; 55.6%) and decreased appetite (24.1%; 33.3%). Nine patients had MEDI5083-related grade ≥3 AEs with ISR being the most common. Two patients experienced dose limiting toxicities (ISR). One death occurred due to a MEDI5083-related AE. MEDI5083 maximum tolerated dose was 5 mg. Objective response rate was 2.8% (1 partial response and 11 stable disease).Conclusion: MEDI5083 toxicity profile limits its further development.

Aim: This study aimed to determine the expression pattern of autoantibody proteins from the serum of grade IV glioblastoma patients.Materials & methods: We performed high throughput antibody profiling via the Sengenics i-Ome® Protein Array to determine the differentially expressed autoantibodies.Results: The results portrayed that anti-COL4A3BP and anti-HSP90AA1 were among the upregulated autoantibodies in glioblastoma sera.Conclusion: The selected autoantibodies offer promising targets for future glioblastoma pathogenesis. However, further validation is required to elucidate the autoantibody signature in glioblastoma patients.

Immune-related cystitis is a rare condition, and its diagnostic criteria and pathogenesis are not yet fully understood. Here, we report two cases of immune-related cystitis. Both patients were previously diagnosed with lung squamous cell carcinoma and received combined treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors and chemotherapy, leading to hemorrhagic cystitis. We reviewed the cystoscopic images and pathological features of previous cases and found that autoantibodies against hemidesmosomes may be the cause of immune-related cystitis, proposing the "antibody combination" hypothesis to explain the tissue specificity of the condition.

Checkpoint inhibitor myocarditis is a rare but life-threatening toxicity of immunotherapy, occasionally manifesting as persistent troponin elevation. Dual checkpoint blockade with ipilimumab and nivolumab has been found to induce immune-related myocarditis in patients with metastatic melanoma. We herein report a case of smoldering immune-related myocarditis in a 54-year-old male after a single infusion of nivolumab plus ipilimumab as adjuvant treatment for completely resected stage IV melanoma. High-dose steroid treatment resulted in decrease in the levels of cardiac enzymes, without any major complications.

Gastric cancer remains a considerable global health burden, with limited treatment options available for advanced cases, especially for superaged patients. Cadonilimab, a first-in-class bi-specific antibody (BsAb), offer a promising immunotherapy approach by targeting PD-1/CTLA-4 simultaneously. Herein, we present a case report of an 85-year-old patient with HER2-negative advanced gastric cancer who received first-line treatment with cadonilimab combined with chemotherapy, but cadonilimab was discontinued due to the observation of immune-related pneumonitis during treatment. Despite these changes, the patient still exhibited a stable disease condition for a year until now. This case report highlights the potential of cadonilimab in the treatment of superaged patients with advanced gastric cancer, while the efficacy and safety of it need to be further evaluated.
