The combination of immune checkpoint inhibitors with chemotherapy is the standard treatment for extensive-stage (ES) SCLC. However, its safety for elderly patients is not fully validated. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of durvalumab plus carboplatin and etoposide in elderly patients with ES-SCLC.
Methods
In this prospective, single-arm, multicenter, phase 2 clinical trial, patients with ES-SCLC aged above or equal to 75 years received chemotherapy with up to four cycles of durvalumab 1500 mg on day 1, carboplatin at a dose equivalent to an area under the curve of 5 on day 1, and etoposide 80 mg/m2 on days 1 to 3 every 3 weeks as induction therapy. Maintenance therapy with durvalumab 1500 mg was administered every 4 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary end point was safety, and key secondary end points were objective response rate, progression-free survival, overall survival, quality of life, and Geriatric Assessment.
Results
Between August 2021 and February 2023, 40 patients were enrolled at 17 institutions and 38 were assessable for safety and efficacy. Grade 3 or higher adverse events occurred in 36 patients (94.6%). The most common adverse events were hematologic, including grade 3 or higher neutropenia (76.3%) and febrile neutropenia (15.8%). The objective response rate, median progression-free survival, and median overall survival were 89.5%, 5.4 months, and 16.1 months, respectively. No decrease in quality of life or functional assessment scores was observed after treatment.
Conclusion
Durvalumab plus carboplatin and etoposide was tolerable and expected to be effective in elderly patients with ES-SCLC.

The CheckMate 743 trial established nivolumab and ipilimumab as the standard first-line treatment for unresectable pleural mesothelioma. However, optimal management following disease progression after a durable response to dual immunotherapy remains unclear. We report two cases of patients with pleural mesothelioma (epithelioid subtype) initially treated with nivolumab-ipilimumab, achieving prolonged disease control. Both patients experienced disease progression several years after treatment discontinuation and were subsequently retreated with nivolumab-ipilimumab on regulatory approval. In both cases, retreatment resulted in stable disease for at least 12 months. However, immune-related toxicities occurred, with one patient developing recurrent colitis and the other experiencing nephrotic syndrome, ultimately leading to treatment discontinuation. These cases suggest that retreatment with dual immunotherapy may be a viable strategy for selected patients with previous durable responses, although the risk of immune-related toxicity remains significant. Given the lack of prospective data, further research is needed to determine whether rechallenge with nivolumab-ipilimumab offers superior outcomes compared with chemotherapy or best supportive care in this setting. Rechallenging patients with pleural mesothelioma with nivolumab-ipilimumab after a durable response is feasible but associated with immune-related toxicity.

Dysregulated MET signaling, such as MET overexpression or MET amplification (METamp), is a important mechanism of resistance to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in patients with EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Combination therapy with EGFR TKIs and MET TKIs has revealed efficacy in these patients. This study aimed to analyze the real-world experience of TKI combination in patients with EGFR-mutant MET-overexpressed LUAD.
Methods
This retrospective cohort study included patients with advanced EGFR-mutant LUAD who progressed after EGFR TKIs and were treated with combination therapy of EGFR TKIs and MET TKIs (capmatinib or tepotinib). Immunohistochemistry was used to detect MET overexpression.
Results
This study included 27 patients, with a median age of 69 years; 40.7% of the patients were male individuals, and 88.9% never smoked. Overall, the treatment response of the TKI combination reported 29.6% (eight of 27) partial response, 55.6% (15 of 27) stable disease, a median progression-free survival of 7.3 months, and an overall survival of 26.9 months. The adverse events were mostly grade 1 to 2, with only one patient experiencing a grade 3 or greater event, which was peripheral edema. The most common adverse events were hypoalbuminemia (44.4%), increased creatinine (44.4%), and peripheral edema (44.4%). Eight patients underwent next-generation sequencing analysis, and two (25.0%) of them had METamp. Three patients (37.5%) had TP53 mutations, which were the most common concurrent alterations. Those with positive METamp had significantly longer median progression-free survival than those without (25.3 versus 5.8 mo; p = 0.034).
Conclusions
The TKI combination reported clinical activities in patients with advanced EGFR-mutant LUAD resistant to EGFR TKIs and mild toxicity in those with MET overexpression.

Introduction
Neoadjuvant or perioperative treatment, including an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI), has emerged as a new standard for patients with resectable stage III NSCLC. Nevertheless, approximately 20% of patients who start neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy will not undergo definitive surgery. Little is known about these patients.
Methods
We analyzed outcomes of patients without definitive surgery from five Swiss Group for Clinical Cancer Research (SAKK) trials that investigated different neoadjuvant treatment modalities in patients with resectable stage III-N2 NSCLC. Study treatment included neoadjuvant cisplatin-docetaxel chemotherapy (with or without radiotherapy), either combined with peri-operative durvalumab in the SAKK 16/14 trial (n = 68) or without an ICI (non-ICI trials, n = 431).
Results
Of the 499 patients, 102 (20%) did not have definitive surgery. Cancellation of surgery occurred in a similar proportion of patients with or without neoadjuvant ICI (19% versus 21%, p = 0.9). Reasons were in non-ICI trials and SAKK 16/14: disease progression (47% and 54%), nonresectability (18% and 8%), medical reasons (17% and 31%), and unknown (18% and 8%), respectively. Of these patients, no patient in SAKK 16/14 and 17 patients (19%) in the non-ICI trials received curative-intended salvage therapy. Three-year overall survival was higher in patients who had definitive surgery compared with those who did not: 78% versus 32% (SAKK 16/14) and 54% versus 10% (non-ICI trials).
Conclusions
In our pooled analysis, patients with definitive surgery had higher survival rates than those without definitive surgery. Prognosis in patients without definitive surgery seems to have improved in the era of ICI.

Introduction
Osimertinib is now approved as adjuvant therapy for stage IB to III NSCLC with EGFR mutations. Nevertheless, this treatment is lengthy and expensive. Its cost-effectiveness profile as monotherapy versus combination with chemotherapy is unknown. In this context, we investigate the cost-effectiveness of adjuvant osimertinib with and without chemotherapy for NSCLC.
Methods
A set of Markov models was established to predict the cost-effectiveness of these different regimens. Data were sourced from the ADAURA trial’s publications and protocols. Health outcomes were quantified as quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs). Costs and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) were estimated in U.S. dollars (USD) and USD per QALY, respectively. Deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were performed. Data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program were used to predict additional costs to the U.S. health care system.
Results
Compared with treatment with chemotherapy alone, treatment with osimertinib plus chemotherapy yielded 5.86 QALYs with incremental costs of $414,607.69 (ICER = $380,347.85 per QALY). Treatment with osimertinib alone yielded 6.63 QALYs with an incremental cost of $402,224.32 (ICER = $213,447.59 per QALY). Osimertinib is only likely to be cost-effective if the willingness-to-pay threshold per QALY is $200,000 or more. The price of osimertinib had the strongest influence on cost-effectiveness. On the basis of Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program data, these practices may cost the U.S. health care system an additional 8.9 billion USD/year.
Conclusions
Adjuvant osimertinib alone is more cost-effective than combination therapy, but only if the willingness-to-pay is high. A reduction in the price of osimertinib would improve its cost-effectiveness profile.

Introduction
Lung cancer screening has been recommended by the United States Preventive Services Taskforce since 2013. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services coverage decision in early 2015 required data submission to a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services–approved registry for facilities to receive payment for screening. Only the American College of Radiology’s Lung Cancer Screening Registry (LCSR) received approval for this purpose. Some LCSR elements, such as race, ethnicity, downstream diagnostic procedures, and cancer outcomes, were underreported.
Methods
To address underreporting, we linked data from the LCSR to Medicare and Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results cancer registry data from 2015 to 2021. We created two different cohorts of individuals aged 65 years and older: (1) those who were enrolled in Medicare fee-for-service plans with parts A and B coverage at the time of at least one LCSR-reported screen, and (2) Medicare beneficiaries (regardless of whether fee-for-service or managed care) living within a Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results catchment area at the time of at least one LCSR-reported screen. We compared the characteristics of individuals in the linked cohorts with those of all individuals in the LCSR aged 65 years and over.
Results
Demographic, smoking history, and screening examination data elements in the linked data were generally similar to those in the overall LCSR.
Conclusions
On the basis of these results, the linked populations seem to be generally representative of older individuals in the LCSR. These unique data linkages provide an unprecedented opportunity to better understand the early implementation of lung cancer screening in the United States.

Introduction
MET exon 14 (METex14) skipping mutations are observed in approximately 0.9% to 4% of patients with NSCLC. This study aimed to compare the detection rates of METex14 skipping in Chinese patients with lung cancer using DNA-based next-generation sequencing (NGS) with capture-based library construction and synchronous DNA-based and RNA-based NGS with amplicon-based library construction.
Methods
A total of 11,330 tissue samples from 11,330 Chinese patients with lung cancer were included in the study to confirm the presence of METex14 skipping. Simultaneously, MET immunohistochemistry testing was performed on 30 patients.
Results
The highest detection rate of METex14 skipping was observed in the synchronous DNA and RNA-based NGS with amplicon-based library construction, reaching 2.20%. A total of 45 different variants leading to METex14 skipping were detected at the DNA level. These variants were widely distributed across a 197–base pair DNA sequence. In the overall population, the incidence of METex14 skipping was significantly higher in individuals aged 60 years and above (p < 0.0001) and needle biopsy samples (p < 0.0001) and reported no significant association with gender and tumor location. A positive correlation was observed between microsatellite instability–high and METex14 skipping (p < 0.0001).
Conclusions
The mutations causing METex14 skipping exhibit diversity in terms of variant types and are widely distributed across various genomic regions. Synchronous DNA-based and RNA-based NGS is considered the optimal method for detecting METex14 skipping. Furthermore, METex14 skipping is enriched in specific populations, including individuals aged 60 years and above, with advanced-stage disease and a microsatellite instability-high status.

Chemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by durvalumab is the standard of care for unresectable locally advanced NSCLC. Limited prospective data have been reported on intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT)–adapted CRT in the immunotherapy era.
Methods
In this multicenter prospective observational study, patients underwent IMRT-adapted CRT (platinum-doublet chemotherapy plus 60 Gy IMRT in 30 fractions under a prespecified radiation protocol), followed by consolidative durvalumab. The primary outcome was the durvalumab introduction rate within 42 days post-CRT.
Results
Thirty-two patients with unresectable locally advanced NSCLC were enrolled between November 2019 and February 2021. Among the 28 evaluable cases, durvalumab was introduced in 24 (85.7%, 90% confidence interval: 70.2%–95.0%) of 28 patients after CRT, achieving the primary end point. All 29 patients who received IMRT completed the scheduled 60 Gy radiotherapy dose. One year of durvalumab treatment was completed in 12 of 24 patients (50%). In the 24 patients who were durvalumab-introduced, the median progression-free survival and overall survival were 20.9 (95% confidence interval: 6.9–not evaluable) months and not reached, respectively. Two-year progression-free survival and overall survival rates were 44% and 73%, respectively. Among the 29 patients in the safety analysis set, there were no treatment-related deaths or grade 4 nonhematological adverse events. Pneumonitis grade 1 was observed in 13 patients (45%), grade 2 in seven (24%), and grade 3 in one (3%).
Conclusions
High durvalumab introduction rate was reported after the completion of IMRT-adapted CRT under a prespecified radiation protocol. Its efficacy has been suggested, with favorable safety profiles, including a low incidence of severe pneumonitis.

Introduction
Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) with intestinal differentiation (LAID) comprises a rare and heterogeneous NSCLC of invasive mucinous, enteric, and colloid characteristics. In the era of chemotherapy, LAID was associated with a poorer prognosis compared with other LUADs. Leveraging the National Cancer Database, we assessed survival outcomes of LAID in the era of immunotherapy.
Methods
The National Cancer Database was queried for stage IV adenocarcinoma cases diagnosed from 2016 to 2019. LAID was defined as invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma, colloid adenocarcinoma, or enteric adenocarcinoma. An unadjusted comparison of survival distributions was performed using a log-rank test and adjusted by Cox multivariable regression.
Results
A total of 40,516 patients were identified, of whom 855 had LAID and 39,661 had other LUAD. Among the cases of LAID, 593 were classified as colloid, 253 as mucinous, and nine as enteric. Patients with LAID had a higher risk of death compared with other LUAD subtypes, with a hazard ratio (HR) of 1.31 (95% confidence interval: 1.21–1.43) and a median survival of 9.19 months and 11.81 months, respectively. This was relatively consistent across all treatment subgroups (HR = 1.40: immunotherapy alone, HR = 1.29: chemoimmunotherapy; HR = 1.25: chemotherapy alone). Patients with LAID treated with chemoimmunotherapy had a median overall survival of 11.16 months, 9.19 months when treated with immunotherapy alone, and 7.09 months when treated with chemotherapy alone.
Conclusions
Compared with other LUADs, LAID remains associated with poorer survival in the era of immunotherapy. Nevertheless, exposure to immunotherapy may be associated with improved survival compared with chemotherapy alone in this rare subgroup.

Introduction
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) monitoring is emerging as a minimally invasive complement to tumor imaging. We evaluated the validity of tissue-agnostic ctDNA quantification across four treatment modalities in NSCLC and SCLC.
Methods
Data from consenting patients were collected from electronic health records as part of the Prospective Clinico-Genomic study (NCT04180176). ctDNA tumor fraction (TF) was retrospectively calculated for plasma collected six to 15 weeks after therapy initiation. TF dynamics were compared among an exploratory cohort, NSCLC and SCLC validity cohorts, and by therapy class.
Results
In on-treatment plasma, undetectable TF was associated with longer real-world progression-free survival and real-world overall survival in exploratory (21.8 versus 8.8 mo; hazard ratio [HR] = 0.35, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.24–0.50), validity NSCLC (23.5 versus 9.5 mo; HR = 0.34, 95% CI: 0.22–0.53), and validity SCLC (15.9 versus 8.3 mo; HR = 0.19, 95% CI: 0.08–0.42) cohorts. Equal to or greater than 90% and equal to or greater than 50% TF reduction from baseline was also associated with significantly improved outcomes. ctDNA dynamics differed by treatment class: TF reported greater discriminatory power for selecting tumor responses to immunotherapy and targeted therapy (≥50% decrease in 91% of responders versus 24% of nonresponders) than chemotherapy and chemo-immunotherapy (86% versus 60%). TF dynamics correlated with outcomes, but models of real-world progression-free survival and real-world overall survival were improved when tumor response was included.
Conclusions
Tissue-agnostic monitoring of molecular response on the basis of ctDNA TF dynamics has utility in the real-world setting across four different treatment regimens. These results suggest that ctDNA dynamics may be complementary to tumor imaging in both NSCLC and SCLC to better inform patient care.
