Molecular Monitoring of cfDNA by ddPCR in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Treated by Immunotherapy.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a major public health problem. New treatments as immunotherapy can improve prognosis of patients with NCLC tumors. Nevertheless, no robust biomarker is actually available. The hypothesis of the trial is to realize a longitudinal molecular monitoring of NSCLC patients treated by immunotherapy using a quantitative analysis of cell-free DNA. The primary purposes is to study the predictive value of quantification of cell-free DNA at the first reevaluation time, on the clinical benefit, in NSCLC patients treated by immunotherapy (regardless of line, or associated treatments) The secondary purposes in this population of patients is to study the earlier predictive value (before the second treatment by immunotherapy ) of quantification of cell-free DNA, and its relationship with refractory disease and pseudo-progressive disease.

mFOLFOX6+Bevacizumab+PD-1 Monoclonal Antibody in Local Advanced MSS CRC

Immunotherapy has achieved significant therapeutic effect in DNA mismatch repair-deficient or microsatellite instability-high (dMMR/MSI-H) colorectal cancer (CRC). However, for proficient mismatch repair(pMMR)/microsatellite stable(MSS) CRC, the curative effect of PD-1 monoclonal antibody was poor and most of the data came from stage ? patients with distant metastasis. Among the whole CRC patients, more than eighty-five percent were pMMR/MSS CRC. It would be very inspiring when major CRC patients(pMMR/MSS) could be benefit from immunotherapy. For T4NxM0 CRC patients, R0 resection was difficult to achieve. If the patients could not got R0 resection, which means the tumors were almost destined to recurrent and patients life time were counting down. Whether combined treatment of mFOLFOX6+ Bevacizumab+PD-1 monoclonal antibody could maximize the curative effect was still unknown. This study aims to evaluate the effect and safety of mFOLFOX6+ Bevacizumab+PD-1 monoclonal antibody treatment combinations in patients with local advanced(T4NxM0) pMMR/MSS CRC.

An Open-label, Multicentre, Phase II/III RCT of PFLL Versus GP Combined With JS001 as the First-line Therapy for mNPC

The treatment of distant metastasis is a key challenge for nasopharyngeal carcinoma because of poor outcomes, among which, chemotherapy is the cornerstone. However, many studies reported the use of different chemotherapy regimens to prolong the survival of metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma, while few of them focused on how to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy or improve the life quality of patients. Blocking the immune checkpoint is one of the effective strategies of tumor immunotherapy. Thus, we sought to find a proper chemotherapy regimen combined with PD-1 antibody JS001.

Camrelizumab Combined With Apatinib Mesylate for Perioperative Treatment of Resectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver cancer. Hepatectomy is a curable and effective method. However, the recurrence rate is as high as 50%~70% in 5 years after surgery. Perioperative treatment with immunotherapy combined with target therapy is expected to improve the patient's prognosis. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of camrelizumab combined with apatinib mesylate in the perioperative period of resectable hepatocellular carcinoma. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the rate of subjects with major pathological response and 3-year event-free survival (EFS) of camrelizumab combined with apatinib mesylate in the perioperative period of hepatocellular carcinoma (CNLC Ib-IIIa). The secondary research purpose is to evaluate the R0 resection rate, the rate of subjects with pathological complete response, EFS, overall survival and disease-free survival of camrelizumab combined with apatinib mesylate in the perioperative period of resectable hepatocellular carcinoma. The safety and tolerability is also evaluated.

Efficacy and Safety of Combinition of Camrelizumab in Second-line Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy and Adjuvant Therapy

The achievement of pathological complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is associated with improved outcome across all breast cancer (BC) subtypes. Anthracycline and taxanes based chemotherapy is usually the first choice of NACT for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) negative breast cancer, but there is no ideal second-line therapy for those with unsatisfactory effect after first-line NACT. Vinorelbine combined with cisplatin may be a choice for patients after failure or progression with anthracycline and/or taxanes. Immunotherapy has achieved good efficacy in many malignant tumors. Chemotherapy may have a certain immune activation effect, thus combination of immunotherapy and chemotherapy has significant clinical value in neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatment of breast cancer. So we designed this one center single arm phase 2 clinical trial to test the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab (PD-1 inhibitor) combined with vinorelbine and cisplatin as a second-line therapy for HER2 negative breast cancer patients who did not achieve significant effect after 2 cycle treatments of anthracycline plus taxanes NACT. The target population of our study are early-stage HER2 negative breast cancer patients with indications of NACT who did not receive partial response after 2 cycle of standard anthracycline and taxanes treaments according to RECIST 1.1 criteria. The enrolled patients will receive 6 cycles of camrelizumab combined with vinorelbine and cisplatin as second-line neoadjuvant therapy. Then they need to undergo surgery. The subjects have to continue camrelizumab until it is totally used for 1 year (about 17 cycles in all). The patients will routinely receive conventional adjuvant therapy and enter the long-term follow-up to get their survival infoumation.

Immunotherapy And Palliative Radiotherapy Combined In Patients With Advanced Malignancy

Immunotherapy includes a class of medication called checkpoint inhibitors, which are a relatively new medication therapy for many types of cancer which are metastatic, meaning it has spread to other parts of the body.Immune therapy medication may be given safely with radiation treatment, and in rare cases it may even make radiotherapy more effective. When radiation therapy is given in the "palliative" setting it is given to treat pain/discomfort and not necessarily shrink or get rid of the tumour. Palliative radiotherapy may be given for many reasons, but common examples include painful bone or liver tumours, brain metastases, or symptoms from a chest tumour such as feeling breathless, cough, or bleeding. Palliative radiotherapy is usually given in smaller amounts and less frequently than other types of radiation therapy. Because checkpoint inhibitors are relatively new there is not a huge amount of evidence looking at how patients respond when the treatments are combined, or in which patients immune therapy may make radiation therapy even more effective. This study is looking at the way patients who are on or about to start immune therapy and who have been recommended for palliative radiotherapy, respond to the combination of these two treatments. The purpose of this study is to describe the treatment outcomes in patients with cancer that has spread who are managed with a combination of immune therapy medication and radiotherapy. This research is being done because there is limited information about the outcomes of combined immune therapy and radiotherapy treatment from a patient's perspective, but also in terms of which patients may have a better response to combined treatment. In particular, the study aims to describe how combined treatment affects cancer not only in the area where radiotherapy is given, but also outside the part of the body that receives radiotherapy (which is called "abscopal" effect).

Neoadjuvant Treatment Modalities in Esophageal Cancer

Esophageal cancer is the most prevalent cancer globally with poor survival outcome. The prognosis with surgery alone is poor, accounting for 30-40% of overall survival at 5 year. Either neoadjuvant chemotherapy (nCT) or chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) has been shown as efficatious therapy to improve patients outcomes in esophageal or esophagogastric junction cancer as compared with surgery alone. The purpose of this study was to explore the optimal neoadjuvant treatment modalities including PD-1/PD-L1 antibody or targeted drug for patients with esophageal or esophagogastric junction cancer.

Chemoradiotherapy in Esophageal or Esophagogastric Junction Cancer

Definitive chemoradiotherapy is the standard of care in unresectable esophageal or esophagogastric cancer. A multidisciplinary approach, including chemotherapy and radiotherapy, is important for these patients. Morerover, molecular targeting agents does not show clear efficacy in EC up to now. Nowadays, the pace of development of cancer immunotherapies is accelerating. Clinical evidence of the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors and adoptive immunotherapies herald the onset of a new era in cancer immunotherapy. There have also been recent developments to provide a promising frontier in extending the use of immunotherpay or targeting agents to radiotherapy. The purpose of this study was to explore the optimal treatment modalities including PD-1/PD-L1 antibody or targeted drug for patients with unresectable esophageal or esophagogastric junction cancer.

A Single-cell Approach to Identify Biomarkers of Pulmonary Toxicity for Immune Checkpoint Blockade

The main goal of this prospective non-interventional exploratory monocentric study is to characterize the immune cell composition of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid from cancer patients experiencing cancer therapy-induced pneumonitis on a single-cell scale. These mechanistic insights can directly lead to putative diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets. A second highly clinically relevant hypothesis is that single-cell profiling of blood samples will reveal circulating biomarkers of ICB toxicity, making non-invasive diagnosis feasible.

A Single-cell Approach to Identify Biomarkers of Efficacy and Toxicity for ICI in NSCLC

The main goal of this prospective non-interventional exploratory study is to characterize the tumor micro-environment of advanced NSCLC in single-cell resolution, prior to immune checkpoint blockade exposure, and correlate the findings to clinical outcome. This approach will allow to generate new hypotheses regarding mechanism of action of ICI and (primary) resistance mechanisms. The long-term goal is that these novel mechanistic insights will be translated to a clinical setting to develop better biomarkers of ICI efficacy. Importantly, since the investigators will also sequentially profile the immune composition of peripheral blood, this research offers an opportunity to develop circulating (non-invasive) biomarkers. A second aim is to characterize the immune cell composition of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid from these ICI-treated cancer patients if they would develop ICI-pneumonitis. These mechanistic insights can directly lead to putative diagnostic biomarkers and therpeutic targets. Since single-cell profiling of blood samples will also be performed, circulating biomarkers of ICI toxicity can also be identified, making non-invasive diagnosis feasible.

The GCO-002 CACOVID-19 Cohort: a French Nationwide Multicenter Study of COVID-19 Infected Cancer Patients

Since December 2019, China and then the rest of the world have been affected by the rapid development of a new coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2). The disease caused by this coronavirus (COVID-19), which is transmitted by air via droplets, is potentially responsible for a severe respiratory syndrome but also for a multivisceral deficiency that can lead to death. Cancer patients are generally more susceptible to infections than people without cancer due to immunosuppression caused by their tumor disease and/or conventional anti-cancer treatments used such as cytotoxic chemotherapy, several targeted therapies, radiotherapy or recent surgery. These patients may therefore be at particular risk for COVID-19. This is suggested by the very first analysis on the subject, which reports data from the Chinese prospective database of 2007 patients with proven COVID-19 infection in 575 hospitals in 31 Chinese provinces. The authors of this publication conclude with 3 measures to be proposed to patients undergoing cancer follow-up: 1/ consider postponing adjuvant chemotherapy or surgery in the case of localized and stable cancer, 2/ reinforce protective measures for these patients, and 3/ monitor very closely and treat these patients more intensively when they have a COVID-19. However, the increased risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and severe forms of COVID-19 in cancer patients suggested by this first study remains to be demonstrated given its limitations, already highlighted by other authors. Indeed, the number of patients is small and the population of cancer patients is very heterogeneous, with in particular 12 patients out of 16 who had recovered from initial cancer treatments (therefore without immunosuppression), half of whom had a disease course of more than 4 years. Nevertheless, a second Chinese study has just recently been published, reporting COVID-19 data among 1524 cancer patients admitted between December 30, 2019 and February 17, 2020 in the Department of Radiotherapy and Medical Oncology of the University Hospital of Wuhan, the source city of the COVID-19 epidemic. Although the rate of CoV-2 SARS infection was lower than that reported in the first study, it was still 0.79% (n=12), which is much higher than the rate of COVID-19 diagnosed in Wuhan City during the same period (0.37%, 41 152/11 081 000). Again, lung cancer was the main tumour location observed in 7 patients (58%), of which 5 (42%) were undergoing chemotherapy +/- immunotherapy. Three deaths (25%) were reported. Patients over 60 years of age with lung cancer had a higher incidence of COVID-19 (4.3% vs. 1.8%). Thus, it appears that the risk of COVID-19 is actually increased in cancer patients, although again, less than half of the patients with lung cancer had a higher incidence of COVID-19. Moreover, two more recent studies performed in patients treated in Hubei Province of China and in New-York city found that patients with cancer had significantly increased risk of death compared to non-cancer COVID-19 patients, especially patients with metastatic cancer and those who had recent surgery. Therefore, many questions remain to date on the level of risk and the severity of COVID-19 in patients with active cancer, in particular those under anti-cancer treatment and in patients recently operated for localized cancer.

Induction of Sensecence Using Dexamethasone to Re-sensitize NSCLC to Anti-PD1 Therapy

Lung cancer accounts for 30% of all cancers among American war Veterans and remains the leading cause of cancer related deaths. Half of all lung cancers are metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with a 2-year survival rate of 10%. Immunotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy that aims to harness the immune system to fight lung cancer. However, given the modest response rates of 20-25% to these immune checkpoint inhibitors, there is a greater desire to extend their benefits to more patients. Along with the desire to extend their benefits, there is a critical need for the development of novel approaches that can expand the benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitors and create more durable responses, prolonging survival from lung cancer. The investigators' studies show that extended dexamethasone (Dex) treatment induces irreversible cell cycle blockade and a senescence phenotype through chronic activation of the p27Kip1 gene in glucocorticoid receptor (GR) overexpressing lung adenocarcinoma (AC) cell populations. Further, following withdrawal of Dexamethasone, proteins associated with the senescence associated secretory phenotype (SASP) strongly attracted and expanded T-cells, NK cells and monocytes stimulated tumor cell cytolytic activity of NK cells. Therefore, dexamethasone may induce a persistent senescence phenotype in tumor cell sub-populations expressing moderate/high levels of GR and resultant chemokines produced by the senescent cells will mobilize host immune cells to reboot response to immune checkpoint inhibitors following complete Dexamethasone withdrawal.
