Postoperative patients have risk recurring, even for completed resected early stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). To control the recurrence rate, neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapies have been applied widely in clinical practice; however, neoadjuvant and adjuvant immunotherapy clinical trials on NSCLC are still being explored. In this review, we summarized the research progress and outline the issues need to be solved on adjuvant and neoadjuvant immunotherapies in NSCLC. ...[more]

Project description:In functionally fit patients with localized disease surgical resection remains the treatment of choice. There is also good evidence to support the use of chemotherapy in stages II-III. However, whether to use neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy has been the topic of much debate. With its strong evidence base, adjuvant chemotherapy has been adopted in the European Society of Medical Oncology clinical practice guidelines for early and locally advanced stages II-III non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with consideration of adjuvant therapy in those with stage IB but with tumours >4 cm in size. There are fewer trials comparing neoadjuvant therapy plus surgery with surgery alone. Even less has been carried out directly comparing neoadjuvant with adjuvant therapy. The NATCH trial demonstrated no difference in survival between adjuvant and neoadjuvant arms, whilst others have yet to be completed. Meta-analysis also demonstrates no appreciable difference between the two methods. With such a strong body of evidence, however, postoperative delivery of chemotherapy remains the timing of choice in NSCLC.

Project description:Surgery is still the only curative therapy for locoregional gastric cancer. Hereby it is important to achieve negative margins (R0 resection) and to perform an adequate lymph-node dissection (D2 lymphadenectomy). Unfortunately most cases of gastric cancer are diagnosed in a locally advanced tumor stage. The poor prognosis of patients with these tumors is due to the frequent recurrences after primary resection in curative intent. This observation led to the development of (neo)adjuvant treatment concepts. Beginning with the end of the 1980s, more and more patients with locally advanced tumors were subjected to a preoperative, perioperative, or postoperative treatment in order to improve the prognosis after curative resection. However, in different regions of the world, different regiments are preferred. While adjuvant chemotherapy is the established treatment in Asia, adjuvant chemoradiotherapy is favored in the USA and perioperative chemotherapy is considered the treatment of choice in Europe. However, recently a certain convergence of the different philosophies is to be observed. This article covers the relevant studies dealing with neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatment concepts and gives an overview on the latest developments in this field.

Project description:BackgroundStage III Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a heterogenous disease with novel treatment options. Recently, immunotherapy has attracted a lot of attention for advanced NSCLC.ObjectiveThe objective of our study was to assess the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant immuno-chemotherapy for resectable stage III NSCLC.MethodsWe analyzed 11 stage III primary NSCLC surgical cases who had undergone standard lobectomy or bronchial sleeve resection and lymph node dissection between December 2020 and July 2021. The data analyzed included basic clinical features, serum levels of key biomarkers, clinical efficacy in the perioperative period, postoperative pathological results, postoperative complications and the incidence rates of Immune-Related Adverse Events.ResultsEleven patients were enrolled in our study with a mean age of 67.7 ± 4.8 years, and 10 patients being men with former or current smoking history. Squamous carcinoma (10/11, 91.1%) was the most common cancer type. Six patients had stage IIIa, five had stage IIIb. All patients received two or three cycles of neoadjuvant immuno-chemotherapy, with the median duration between the last treatment and surgery being 39 days (range, 32-46 days). All patients underwent R0 resection with ten patients undergoing single-port video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. The median operative time was 170 min (range, 120-240 min). Only three (3/11, 27.3%) patients experienced mild postoperative complications and the mean hospital stay time was 6.9 days (range, 4-15 days). Nine (9/11, 81.8%) patients experienced major pathological response of which seven (7/11, 63.6%) was complete pathological response in postoperative results. The pathological stage was downgraded in 10 (10/11, 91.1%) patients, and although the incidence of Immune-Related Adverse Events was slightly higher (8/11, 72.7%), most events were grade 1-2 and did not delay surgery.ConclusionOur study demonstrated that neoadjuvant immuno-chemotherapy is feasible and relatively safe for resectable stage III primary NSCLC patients. We hope this new neoadjuvant immuno-chemotherapy model can improve overall survival and open a new era for stage III primary NSCLC patients.

Project description:ImportanceTo date, no meta-analyses have comprehensively assessed the association of neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy with clinical outcomes in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in randomized and nonrandomized settings. In addition, there exists controversy concerning the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy for patients with NSCLC with programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) levels less than 1%.ObjectiveTo compare neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy with chemotherapy by adverse events and surgical, pathological, and efficacy outcomes using recently published randomized clinical trials and nonrandomized trials.Data sourcesMEDLINE and Embase were systematically searched from January 1, 2013, to October 25, 2023, for all clinical trials of neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy and chemotherapy that included at least 10 patients.Study selectionObservational studies and trials reporting the use of neoadjuvant radiotherapy, including chemoradiotherapy, molecular targeted therapy, or immunotherapy monotherapy, were excluded.Main outcomes and measuresSurgical, pathological, and efficacy end points and adverse events were pooled using a random-effects meta-analysis.ResultsAmong 43 eligible trials comprising 5431 patients (4020 males [74.0%]; median age range, 55-70 years), there were 8 randomized clinical trials with 3387 patients. For randomized clinical trials, pooled overall survival (hazard ratio, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.54-0.79; I2 = 0%), event-free survival (hazard ratio, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.52-0.67; I2 = 14.9%), major pathological response (risk ratio, 3.42; 95% CI, 2.83-4.15; I2 = 31.2%), and complete pathological response (risk ratio, 5.52; 95% CI, 4.25-7.15; I2 = 27.4%) favored neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy over neoadjuvant chemotherapy. For patients with baseline tumor PD-L1 levels less than 1%, there was a significant benefit in event-free survival for neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy compared with chemotherapy (hazard ratio, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.62-0.89; I2 = 0%).Conclusion and relevanceThis study found that neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy was superior to neoadjuvant chemotherapy across surgical, pathological, and efficacy outcomes. These findings suggest that patients with resectable NSCLC with tumor PD-L1 levels less than 1% may have an event-free survival benefit with neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy.

Project description:Until recently, the treatment of immune-mediated inflammatory myopathies has largely been empirical with glucocorticoids, steroid-sparing immunosuppressive drugs, and intravenous immunoglobulin. However, a proportion of patients are only partially responsive to these therapies, and there has been a need to consider alternative treatment approaches. In particular, patients with inclusion body myositis are resistant to conventional immunotherapies or show only a transient response, and remain a major challenge. With increasing recognition of the different subtypes of immune-mediated inflammatory myopathies, and improved understanding of their pathogenesis, more targeted treatments are now being trialled. The overall approach to treatment, and novel therapies targeting B cells, T cells, and specific cytokines are discussed in this review.

Project description:Kawasaki Disease (KD) is an acute inflammatory illness that mostly occurs in children below 5 years of age, with intractable fever, mucocutaneous lesions, lymphadenopathy, and lesions of the coronary artery (CAL). KD is sharing clinical symptoms with systemic inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) which is related to COVID-19. Certain genes are identified to be associated with KD, but the findings usually differ between countries and races. Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) allele types and toll-like receptor (TLR) expression are also correlated to KD. The acute hyperinflammation in KD is mediated by an imbalance between augmented T helper 17 (Th17)/Th1 responses with high levels of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, IL-17A, IFN-γ, and IP-10, in contrast to reduced Th2/Treg responses with lower IL-4, IL-5, FoxP3, and TGF-β expression. KD has varying phenotypic variations regarding age, gender, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) resistance, macrophage activation and shock syndrome. The signs of macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) can be interpreted as hyperferritinemia and thrombocytopenia contradictory to thrombocytosis in typical KD; the signs of KD with shock syndrome (KDSS) can be interpreted as overproduction of nitric oxide (NO) and coagulopathy. For over five decades, IVIG and aspirin are the standard treatment for KD. However, some KD patients are refractory to IVIG required additional medications against inflammation. Further studies are proposed to delineate the immunopathogenesis of IVIG-resistance and KDSS, to identify high risk patients with genetic susceptibility, and to develop an ideal treatment regimen, such as by providing idiotypic immunoglobulins to curb cytokine storms, NO overproduction, and the epigenetic induction of Treg function.

Project description:Even patients after standard surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy still have a high risk of recurrence and metastasis. With the success of immunotherapy in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the application of immunotherapy in locally advanced NSCLC has being investigated to reduce the recurrence and metastasis. Pre-clinical studies and several phase II clinical studies had provided theoretical support and clinical evidence for neoadjuvant immunotherapy for NSCLC. This review describes the mechanism of neoadjuvant immuno-chemotherapy, summarizes up-to-date clinical studies, and analyzes efficiency and feasibility of neoadjuvant immune monotherapy or immuno-chemotherapy. Results from four studies (NCT02259621, NEOSTAR, LCMC3 and ChiCTR-OIC-17013726) showed efficiency and feasibility of neoadjuvant anti-programmed cell death 1 (PD-1)/programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) monotherapy. Neoadjuvant nivolumab plus ipilimumab achieved higher major pathological response rate than nivolumab monotherapy. However, the combination of nivolumab plus ipilimumab led to more severe adverse events as is seen in the NEOSTAR trial. Results from NCT02716038, SAKK 16/14 and NADIM studies suggest that the pathological response rate of neoadjuvant immune-chemotherapy is higher than neoadjuvant immune checkpoint inhibitor monotherapy. This review also elaborates the mechanism of chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy, and discusses the efficacy evaluation after neoadjuvant immunotherapy.

Project description:WM164, a human melanoma line, was a gift from Dr M. Herlyn (Wistar Institute, Philadelphia, PA, USA). The cells were cultured using DMEM media supplemented with 10% serum (fetal bovine serum while growing cells and charcoal-treated serum during incubation with vitamin D compounds), 1% antibiotics and 5 g/mL insulin (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). Cells were cultured in 75 cm2 plastic bottles (TPP–Techno Plastic Products AG, Trasadingen, Switzerland) with a filter in an incubator at 37 C with 5% CO2. CRISPR/Cas Knock out of the VDR. The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) genetic engineering method was carried out to knock out VDR expression in the WM164 cell line as described in (Cancers 2021, 13, 3111. https://doi.org/10.3390/cancers13133111). The resulting cells with the VDR gene knocked out are designated as WM164 VDR KO, and the cells transduced with an “empty” lentivirus served as a control (WM164 scramble). VDR expression was checked for scramble and VDR KO lines before experiments were performed and further every 4 months after lentivirus treatment to ensure that VDR was not expressed in the WM164 KO. Sources of Vitamin D3 Compounds: Both 1,25(OH)2D3 and 25(OH)D3 were purchased from Sigma. 1,20(OH)2D3 and 20(OH)D3 were chemically synthesized. RNA SEQ: VDR-KO or scramble WM164 cells were plated onto 100 mm2 Petri dishes and treated with 1,25(OH)2D3, 25(OH)D3, 20(OH)D3, 1,20(OH)2D3 or ethanol (control) in triplicates. Cells were incubated in 10% charcoal-treated serum for 24 h. Cells were further harvested and RNA isolated using Absolutly RNA Miniprep Kit (Stratagen) . Approximately 120 ng/ul of each sample was sent for RNAseq analysis. BGI@CHOP genomics company sequenced the samples on Illumina HiSeq TM, analyzed, and sent us the results.

Project description:Brain is the most frequent site for distant metastases of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Brain metastasis (BM) is also the leading cause of disabilities and death in advanced NSCLC. In recent years, the application and effectiveness of small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors has formed the basis for the treatment of NSCLC brain metastases with driver gene mutations. With the development of programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)/programmed cell death protein ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors and relevant combination therapies, immunotherapy has become an important choice for non-classic oncogene addicted NSCLC BM patients. Also, the roles of relevant biomarkers are increasingly standing out. By reason of the particular immunopathological features of NSCLC brain metastases and its microenvironment, the aim of this review is to summarize relevant research progresses and provide more references for combination strategies of different therapeutic methods as well as the development of novel immunotherapies.?.
