- |||||||||| Chylothorax and chylous ascites during RET tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy. (Available On Demand; 67) - Apr 28, 2022 - Abstract #ASCO2022ASCO_2845;
Chylous effusions can emerge on treatment with certain MKIs or selective RET TKIs. Recognition of this potential side effect is key to prevent misattribution of worsening effusions to progressive malignancy and to motivate a better understanding of its biology and management.

GemOX plus immune checkpoint inhibitor in combination with lenvatinib or NGS-guided targeted therapy in patients with biliary tract cancers. () - Apr 28, 2022 - Abstract #ASCO2022ASCO_2076; Patients with local advanced or metastatic BTC were given intravenous infusion of standard GemOX (85mg/m2 oxaliplatin on day 1 and gemcitabine 1000mg/m2 on a 1-8-day schedule of a 3-week treatment cycle) plus 200mg q3w of sintilimab and lenvatinib or targeted therapy based on NGS (olaparib for BRCA1/2 mutation, dasatinib for IDH1/2 mutation, afatinib for EGFR mutation, lenvatinib for PDGFR and KIT mutation, lenvatinib for FGFR/KIT mutation). In patients with advanced BTCs, the combination of GemOX plus sintilimab and lenvatinib or NGS-guided targeted therapy showed promising ORR and DCR, especially for the patients with positive PD-L1 expression and targetable gene alterations.

HRAS expression predicts Lenvatinib responsiveness in human primary gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumor cells. () - Apr 28, 2022 - Abstract #ASCO2022ASCO_2069; In patients with advanced BTCs, the combination of GemOX plus sintilimab and lenvatinib or NGS-guided targeted therapy showed promising ORR and DCR, especially for the patients with positive PD-L1 expression and targetable gene alterations. In conclusion, we believe that the evaluation of HRAS expression and mutation might be of great interest in GEP-NET patients receiving Lenvatinib to improve patient selection.

First-line lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: LEAP-014 trial in progress. (Available On Demand; 149a) - Apr 28, 2022 - Abstract #ASCO2022ASCO_2003; P3 In part 2 (main study), approximately 850 patients will be randomly assigned 1:1 to induction with pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib plus chemotherapy (FP or mFOLFOX6 [Q2W for 6 cycles {IV oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2 plus bolus IV 5-FU 400 mg/m2 plus continuous IV 5-FU 2400 mg/m2 plus IV leucovorin 400 mg/m2 or IV levoleucovorin 200 mg/m2}]) followed by consolidation with pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib (arm 1) or pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy (FP or mFOLFOX6; arm 2)...In part 2, the dual primary end points are overall survival and progression-free survival (per RECIST v1.1 assessed by blinded independent central review [BICR]); secondary end points include objective response rate and duration of response (per RECIST v1.1 assessed by BICR) and safety and tolerability. Enrollment in this trial is ongoing.

Nivolumab and lenvatanib combination for fibrolamellar carcinoma. (Available On Demand; 98) - Apr 28, 2022 - Abstract #ASCO2022ASCO_1949; Our retrospective experience with the novel immune-chemotherapy combination of NIV-LEN for FLC in an extremely rare disease with no proven systemic therapies is encouraging, especially for those who are not surgical candidates or in a surgical remission. We hope this report can inform future prospective trials in treating this deadly disease.

Atezolizumab plus bevacizumab versus lenvatinib or sorafenib in non-viral unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma: An international study. (Available On Demand; 57) - Apr 28, 2022 - Abstract #ASCO2022ASCO_1908; This analysis indicates that tislelizumab is clinically active and well tolerated in pts with advanced HCC who have received prior systemic treatment with SOR/LEN. The present analysis conducted on a large number of non-viral HCC patients showed for the first time a significant survival benefit from lenvatinib over atezolizumab plus bevacizumab, in particular in patients with NAFLD/NASH-related HCC.

Review, Journal, PD(L)-1 Biomarker, IO biomarker: Clear cell carcinoma of the endometrium. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 27, 2022 Moreover, ongoing clinical trials testing the anti-tumor activity of innovative products will clarify the better strategies for advanced/recurrent clear cell endometrial carcinoma. Further prospective evidence is urgently needed to better characterize clear cell endometrial carcinoma.
- |||||||||| Review, Journal: Advanced RAI-refractory thyroid cancer: an update on treatment perspectives. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 27, 2022
For radioiodine (RAI) refractory DTCs ongoing research aims to identify agents that may restore RAI-avidity via redifferentiation protocols (vemurafenib or dabrafenib and trametinib) or combination treatments...The present review focuses on the molecular landscape of DTC, the approved targeted therapies as well as the mechanisms of drug resistance. Furthermore, it points to the ongoing research and the future perspectives for the development of more efficient drugs for DTC.
