Overall survival in advanced epidermal growth factor receptor mutated non-small cell lung cancer using different tyrosine kinase inhibitors in The Netherlands: a retrospective, nationwide registry study

Rolof G. P. Gijtenbeek et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the real-world overall survival (OS) of NSCLC patients treated with different generations of EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) and identify predictors of survival. The results showed that the survival of Dutch NSCLC patients with EGFR del19 mutation was superior to those with L858R mutation. Osimertinib provided a benefit as first-line treatment in patients with del19 and baseline brain metastases.

Phase III Clinical Trial for the Combination of Erlotinib Plus Ramucirumab Compared With Osimertinib in Previously Untreated Advanced or Recurrent Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Positive for the L858R Mutation of EGFR: REVOL858R (WJOG14420L)

Naoki Haratake et al.

Summary: NSCLC patients with L858R mutation may have lower sensitivity to EGFR-TKIs, but the combination therapy of erlotinib plus ramucirumab still shows efficacy. Patients who acquire TKI resistance-associated T790M mutation can benefit from osimertinib. A phase III study will evaluate the clinical efficacy of erlotinib plus ramucirumab compared with osimertinib monotherapy for untreated patients with advanced NSCLC harboring L858R.

TP53 co-mutations as an independent prognostic factor in 2nd and further line therapy-EGFR mutated non-small cell lung cancer IV patients treated with osimertinib

Julia Roeper et al.

Summary: TP53 mutations have a negative impact on PFS and OS in patients with EGFR mutations and T790M resistance mutation treated with Osimertinib. Therefore, additional therapeutic and management strategies are needed for this subgroup of patients.

Predictive biomarkers for survival benefit with ramucirumab in urothelial cancer in the RANGE trial

Michiel S. van der Heijden et al.

Summary: This study identifies potential predictive biomarkers for survival benefit in patients with platinum-refractory advanced urothelial carcinoma treated with the anti-VEGFR2 monoclonal antibody ramucirumab. Higher PD-L1 IHC and immune pathway scores are associated with greater ramucirumab overall survival (OS) benefit. Basal molecular subtypes show greater OS benefit compared to Luminal subtypes. Patients from East Asia have lower immune/angiogenesis signature scores, correlating with decreased ramucirumab OS benefit. The study highlights the importance of multiple biomarkers in identifying patients who might benefit the most from treatment with ramucirumab.

Rolof G. P. Gijtenbeek et al.

Summary: This study found that in patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC, intercalated erlotinib with cisplatin-pemetrexed chemotherapy significantly prolonged progression-free survival compared to erlotinib monotherapy, but at the cost of increased toxicity.

Sample size calculations for single-arm survival studies using transformations of the Kaplan-Meier estimator

Kengo Nagashima et al.

Summary: This study proposed alternative methods to determine sample sizes based on a valid standard normal approximation, which may provide accurate results even with small sample sizes. Through numerical evaluations via simulations, some of the proposed methods were more accurate, with the method using the arcsine square-root transformation tending to be closer to a prescribed power.

Relationship between PD-L1 expression and outcome in EGFR-mutant lung cancer patients treated with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors

Summary: In this multicentre retrospective study, high PD-L1 expression was found to be associated with early resistance to first generation EGFR TKIs and shorter survival in EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma patients, regardless of ethnicity.

Programmed death ligand-1 regulates angiogenesis and metastasis by participating in the c-JUN/VEGFR2 signaling axis in ovarian cancer

Yufei Yang et al.

Summary: The study revealed that PD-L1 promotes angiogenesis and metastasis of ovarian cancer by interacting with VEGFR2 and activating the FAK/AKT pathway. The oncogenic transcription factor c-JUN was found to regulate PD-L1 expression, leading to poor prognosis in ovarian cancer patients. Combination therapy of PD-L1 inhibitor and anti-angiogenic drugs may be a potential treatment approach for ovarian cancer.

Kazuhiko Nakagawa et al.

Summary: In patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC, the combination treatment of erlotinib and ramucirumab (RAM+ERL) demonstrated significant clinical benefits for both ex19del and ex21L858R mutation types, with similar treatment outcomes and tolerability. Baseline TP53 co-mutation was associated with improved outcomes in both mutation subtypes.

Akihiro Yoshimura et al.

Summary: Elevated tumor PD-L1 expression is associated with poor outcomes of osimertinib monotherapy in previously untreated advanced NSCLC patients with EGFR mutation. Further clinical trials are warranted to accumulate evidence demonstrating the effectiveness of combination therapy with osimertinib for EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC patients with elevated tumor PD-L1 expression.
