Patterns of transcription factor programs and immune pathway activation define four major subtypes of SCLC with distinct therapeutic vulnerabilities

Carl M. Gay et al.

Summary: Despite the heterogeneity of small cell lung cancer (SCLC), four subtypes have been identified based on tumor expression data, each showing different responses to treatment. SCLC-I subtype benefits the most from immunotherapy, while other subtypes have vulnerabilities to different inhibitors. Matching tumor subtype to therapy and manipulating subtype switching during treatment may enhance response depth and duration for SCLC patients.

YAP1 Expression in SCLC Defines a Distinct Subtype With T-cell-Inflamed Phenotype

Taofeek K. Owonikoko et al.

Summary: This study identified four subtypes of SCLC using RNA sequencing and immunohistochemistry, with the SCLC-Y subtype associated with an inflamed phenotype and favorable prognosis. Upregulation of interferon-gamma response genes was observed in long-term survivors, with higher expression in patients of the SCLC-Y subtype.

Therapeutic targeting of ATR yields durable regressions in small cell lung cancers with high replication stress

Anish Thomas et al.

Summary: Inhibiting ATR, the primary activator of replication stress, and TOP1, which suppresses genomic instability, synergistically showed cytotoxic effects in small cell lung cancer. The combination of ATR inhibitor M6620 and TOP1 inhibitor topotecan achieved a 36% objective response rate in SCLC patients, with durable tumor regressions observed in platinum-resistant SCNCs. These findings suggest that replication stress may be a transformative vulnerability in SCNCs, allowing for rational patient selection and potential personalized treatment strategies.

Notch signaling and efficacy of PD-1/PD-L1 blockade in relapsed small cell lung cancer

Nitin Roper et al.

Summary: This study identifies elevated Notch signaling as a significant predictor of clinical benefit in immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) for relapsed small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients. Activation of Notch signaling induces a low NE phenotype, leading to increased expression of antigen processing and presentation machinery (APM) genes and improved intrinsic tumor immunity.
