<h3>Background</h3>Patients with locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who undergo concurrent chemotherapy and radiotherapy often experience synergistic toxicity, and local regional control rates remain poor. We assessed the activity and safety outcomes of primary tumour stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) followed by conventional chemoradiotherapy to the lymph nodes and consolidation immunotherapy in patients with unresectable locally advanced NSCLC.<h3>Methods</h3>In this multicentre, single-arm, phase 2 trial, patients aged 18 years and older were enrolled at eight regional cancer centres in North Carolina and South Carolina, USA. Patients were eligible if they had stage II–III, unresectable, locally advanced NSCLC (any histology), with peripheral or central primary tumours that were 7 cm or smaller, excluding central tumours within 2 cm of involved nodal disease, and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0–2. Patients who had previously received systemic therapy or radiotherapy were excluded. Participants received SBRT to the primary tumour (50–54 Gy in three to five fractions) followed by standard radiotherapy (planned up to 60 Gy in 30 2 Gy fractions) to the involved lymph nodes with concurrent platinum doublet chemotherapy (either paclitaxel 50 mg/m<sup>2</sup> intravenously plus carboplatin area under the curve 2 mg/mL per min every 7 days for a total of six 1-week cycles or etoposide 50 mg/m<sup>2</sup> intravenously on days 1–5 and days 29–33 plus cisplatin 50 mg/m<sup>2</sup> intravenously on days 1, 8, 29, and 36 for two cycles of 4 weeks). An amendment to the protocol (Dec 11, 2017) permitted the administration of consolidation durvalumab at the discretion of the treating investigator. An additional protocol amendment on Jan 13, 2021, directed patients without disease progression after chemoradiotherapy to receive consolidation durvalumab (10 mg/kg intravenously on day 1 and day 15 of a 4-week cycle for up to 12 cycles or 1500 mg intravenously on day 1 of a 4-week cycle for up to 12 cycles). The primary endpoint was 1-year progression-free survival (per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours version 1.1), assessed in all participants who received at least one fraction of SBRT and had radiological follow-up data up to 1 year. A 1-year progression-free survival rate of greater than 60% was required to reject the null hypothesis and show significant improvement in 1-year progression-free survival. One-sided exact binomial tests were used to compare the primary endpoint versus the historical control 1-year progression-free survival rate used to determine the sample size. Safety was assessed in all patients who received at least one fraction of SBRT.

<h3>Background</h3>Effective treatment options are scarce for relapsed or refractory T-cell lymphoma. This study assesses the safety and activity of CTX130 (volamcabtagene durzigedleucel), a CD70-directed, allogeneic chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) immunotherapy manufactured from healthy donor T cells, in patients with relapsed or refractory T-cell lymphoma.<h3>Methods</h3>This single-arm, open-label, phase 1 study was done at ten medical centres across the USA, Australia, and Canada in patients (aged ≥18 years) with relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma or cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, who had received at least one or at least two previous systemic therapy lines, respectively, and had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0–1. Patients underwent lymphodepletion with fludarabine 30 mg/m<sup>2</sup> and cyclophosphamide 500 mg/m<sup>2</sup> (intravenously daily for 3 days), followed by intravenous CTX130 infusion at dose levels ranging from 3 × 10<sup>7</sup> CAR+ T cells (dose level 1) to 9 × 10<sup>8</sup> CAR+ T cells (dose level 4). The primary endpoint was the incidence of adverse events, defined as dose-limiting toxicities occurring within 28 days post-infusion. Secondary endpoints included objective response rate.

<h3>Background</h3>A previous phase 2 trial showed promising outcomes for patients with HER2-positive early-stage breast cancer using neoadjuvant de-escalation chemotherapy with paclitaxel, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of weekly nab-paclitaxel compared with the standard regimen of docetaxel plus carboplatin, both with trastuzumab and pertuzumab, as neoadjuvant therapies for patients with HER2-positive breast cancer.<h3>Methods</h3>HELEN-006 was a multicentre, randomised, phase 3 trial done at six hospitals in China. We enrolled patients aged 18–70 years with untreated, histologically confirmed stage II–III invasive HER2-positive breast cancer and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1. Using an interactive response system, patients were randomly assigned (1:1) under a permuted block randomisation scheme (block size of four), stratified by tumour stage, nodal status, and hormone receptor status. Patients received either intravenous nab-paclitaxel (125 mg/m<sup>2</sup> on days 1, 8, and 15) for six 3-week cycles, or intravenous docetaxel (75 mg/m<sup>2</sup> on day 1) plus intravenous carboplatin (area under the concentration-time curve 6 mg/mL per min on day 1) for six 3-week cycles. Both groups also received concurrent intravenous trastuzumab, with an initial loading dose of 8 mg/kg and a maintenance dose of 6 mg/kg on day 1, as well as intravenous pertuzumab with a loading dose of 840 mg and a maintenance dose of 420 mg on day 1.

All 689 patients were Asian women. 669 patients received at least one dose of the study treatment and were included in the full analysis set (332 in the nab-paclitaxel group and 337 in the docetaxel plus carboplatin group). Median age of the patients was 50 years (IQR 43–55). Median follow-up time was 26 months (IQR 19–32). 220 (66·3% [95% CI 61·2–71·4]) patients in the nab-paclitaxel group had a pathological complete response, compared with 194 (57·6% [52·3–62·9]) in the docetaxel plus carboplatin group (combined o","PeriodicalId":22865,"journal":{"name":"The Lancet Oncology","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142718605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

<h3>Background</h3>The extent to which patients with cancer are willing to accept uncertainty about the clinical benefit of new cancer drugs in exchange for faster access is not known. This study aims to examine preferences for access versus certainty, and to understand factors that influence these preferences.<h3>Methods</h3>A US nationally representative sample of older adults were recruited via Cint, an online platform for survey research, to take part in an online discrete choice experiment. To be eligible, respondents had to self-report some experience with cancer—ie, they themselves, a close friend or a family member, previously or currently diagnosed with cancer. In the experiment, respondents chose between two cancer drugs, considering five attributes: functional status, life expectancy, certainty of the survival benefit of a new drug, effect of the drug on a surrogate endpoint, and delay in US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval time. The first primary outcome was the relative importance of certainty of survival benefit and wait time to respondents. The second primary outcome was willingness to wait for greater certainty of survival benefit, including subgroup analysis by cancer experience, age, education status, race or ethnicity and income. Secondary outcomes were changes in sensitivity to certainty and wait time, depending on the drug's effect on a surrogate endpoint, respondents' functional status, and life expectancy.

Respondents showed strong preferences for high certainty of survival benefit (coefficient 2·61, 95% CI 2·23 to 2·99), and strong preferences against a 1-year delay in FDA approval time (coefficient –1·04, 95% CI –1·31 to –0·77). Given very low certainty a drug would provide survival benefit (no evidence linking a surrogate endpoint to overall survival), respondents were willing to wait up to 21·68 months (95% CI 17·61 to 25·74) for high certainty (strong evidence) of survival benefit. A drug's effect on a surrogate endpoint had no significant impact on drug choices (coefficient 0·02, 95% CI –0·21 to 0·25). Older respondents (aged ≥55 years), non-White, lower-income (<$40 000 per year) individuals, and those with the lowest life expectancy, were most sensitive to wait time.<h3>Interpretation</h3>
