Two studies explore new predictive biomarkers for immunotherapy in NSCLC
Different methods – multiparametric biomarker assessment and FDG-PET – show mixed accuracy and their applicability in clinical practice needs to be assessed
Neoadjuvant camrelizumab plus chemotherapy improves pathologic complete response in stage IIIA and B NSCLC
Positive results from a phase II trial adds weight to the value of immunotherapy as neoadjuvant treatment for resectable NSCLC
Positive preliminary results for combination therapy with adagrasib in KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC
Phase III trials are planned to assess combined KRAS G12C inhibition/checkpoint inhibition as first-line therapy
Neoadjuvant anti-PD-L1/TGFβRII fusion protein facilitates surgery in unresectable NSCLC
Phase II study indicates that SHR-1701 alone or together with chemotherapy may be a valuable induction strategy in stage III unresectable NSCLC
Exploratory analysis of IMpower010 confirms that ctDNA is prognostic for adjuvant atezolizumab in NSCLC
However, improved outcomes are reported in PD-L1-positive patients only irrespective of post-operative and post-chemotherapy ctDNA status, calling into question its predictive value
Is combining radiotherapy and immunotherapy a viable treatment option?
Conflicting clinical results on the benefits of combined radiotherapy and immunotherapy may derive from differences in treatment sequencing
Nivolumab plus chemotherapy does not improve PFS in EGFR-mutated NSCLC
CheckMate 722 trial fails to meet its primary endpoint in patients with cancer progressing on one or two prior lines of EGFR tyrosine-kinase inhibitors
Tobacco use is still a neglected cancer risk factor in Asia
Tailored strategies based on existing technologies and digital tools are needed to help inform people in geographically difficult-to-reach communities
Dynamic immunoediting of tumours may hold the clue to effective treatment with immunotherapy
Success of immunotherapy is tied to tumour evolution from early- to late-stages, as a study in non-small-cell lung cancer highlights
Sotorasib improves PFS versus docetaxel in patients with pre-treated KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC
Results from the CodeBreaK 200 trial represent an improvement for a difficult-to-treat patient population
