First-line nivolumab plus ipilimumab combined with two cycles of chemotherapy in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (CheckMate 9LA): an international, randomised, open-label, phase 3 trial

Luis Paz-Ares et al.

Summary: The combination of first-line nivolumab plus ipilimumab with a limited course of chemotherapy showed a significant improvement in overall survival for patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer, supporting it as a new treatment option for this patient population.

Immunotherapy in advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer patients with poor performance status: The role of clinical-pathological variables and inflammatory biomarkers

Riccardo Lobefaro et al.

Summary: The study found that for patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, the worse the Performance Status (PS) is, the lower the efficacy of immunotherapy, with patients with PS2 showing poorer outcomes in terms of disease control rate, progression free survival, and overall survival. Additionally, LDH levels and corticosteroid exposure were also associated with patient outcomes.

The lung immuno-oncology prognostic score (LIPS-3): a prognostic classification of patients receiving first-line pembrolizumab for PD-L1 ≥ 50% advanced non-small-cell lung cancer

G. L. Banna et al.

Summary: This study focused on stratifying the prognosis of patients with PD-L1 >= 50% aNSCLC. It found that NLR < 4 was a significant prognostic factor and developed a risk model named lung immuno-oncology prognostic score (LIPS)-3 to accurately categorize patients into different risk levels for prognosis.

SAKK 19/17: safety analysis of first-line durvalumab in patients with PD-L1 positive, advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer and a performance status of 2

Michael Mark et al.

Summary: First-line durvalumab in patients with metastatic NSCLC with PD-L1 expression >= 25% and an ECOG PS2 status resulted in unexpectedly high number of fatal early events due to rapid tumor progression. It is recommended to avoid treatment with 1L durvalumab for patients highly symptomatic from the tumor, particularly those with respiratory symptoms. The study is continuing with exclusion of these patients.
