    الوصف: El cáncer de pulmón no microcítico (CPNM) representa aproximadamente el 90% de los casos de cáncer de pulmón y alrededor de dos tercios de los pacientes se diagnostican en una etapa avanzada de la enfermedad. Su pronóstico global es pobre con una supervivencia a los 5 años entorno al 15%. La cirugía radical es el tratamiento principal en la enfermedad localizada si bien, dependiendo de factores pronósticos clínicos, puede estar indicado un tratamiento adyuvante con quimioterapia y/o radioterapia (QT/RT). En la enfermedad localmente avanzada (estadios IIIA/B), la quimioterapia (QT) combinada con radioterapia (RT) (concomitante o secuencial) es el tratamiento estándar en la mayoría de los pacientes. En el escenario de la enfermedad metastásica, la QT es el tratamiento de elección en más del 80% de los casos. La supervivencia puede variar entre los pacientes a pesar de unas características clínicas y patológicas similares de la enfermedad. Por otra parte, los tratamientos con QT y RT tienen una ventana terapéutica muy estrecha que hace difícil establecer el equilibrio entre dosis y aparición de efectos adversos pudiendo esto condicionar su eficacia. Es por ello que existe la necesidad de identificar biomarcadores genéticos que permitan optimizar los tratamientos para incrementar la supervivencia de los pacientes con CPNM. Las variantes en los genes de reparación del ADN pueden desempeñar un papel en la eficacia de la QT basada en platino en el CPNM. En el primer trabajo, hemos analizado 17 polimorfismos de nucleótido único (SNPs) en 8 genes (ERCC1, ERCC2, ERCC3, ERCC4, ERCC5, XPA, XRCC1 y XRCC2) involucrados en los mecanismos de reparación del ADN y su asociación con la eficacia, supervivencia y la toxicidad en pacientes con CPNM. Este estudio prospectivo incluyó pacientes con estadios IIIA/B y IV tratados con QT basada en platino asociado a un fármaco de 3ra generación. Los pacientes con un estadio III recibieron adicionalmente RT concomitante o secuencial. Encontramos que en el estadio III la respuesta se asoció significativamente con SNPs en los genes ERCC1 y ERCC3, mientras que la toxicidad derivada de la RT se correlacionó con SNPs en el gen ERCC2. En los pacientes con un estadio IV, la respuesta se asoció con una variante genética en el gen ERCC4 y la supervivencia con un SNP en el gen XRCC1. La vía del VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) ha sido motivo de estudio como factor pronóstico en cáncer, incluido el CPNM. En el segundo trabajo hemos evaluado la relación entre 25 variantes en 16 genes de la vía del VEGF y la supervivencia libre de recaída (SLR) y supervivencia global (SG) en 131 pacientes con CPNM estadios I-III tratados con cirugía radical. Hemos encontrado que las variantes KRAS rs1137282 y PIK3C2A rs4356203 se asociaron significativamente con la SLR, tanto en el análisis univariado como multivariable, sin evidenciarse una asociación entre los SNPs analizados y la SG. Los resultados presentados en estos dos trabajos, además de aportar conocimiento en el área de los biomarcadores en CPNM, abren nuevas vías de investigación en este campo.

    الوصف (مترجم): Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for approximately 90% of lung cancer and about two-thirds of patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage of the disease. The overall prognosis is poor with a 5-year survival rate of about 15%. Radical surgery is the main treatment in localized disease, although, an adjuvant treatment with chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy (CT/RT) could be indicated depending on clinical factors. In locally advanced disease (stages IIIA/B), chemotherapy (CT) combined with radiotherapy (RT) (concomitant or sequential) is the standard treatment in most of the patients. In the scenario of metastatic disease, CT is the usual treatment in more than 80% of cases. Survival may vary among patients despite similar clinical and pathological features of the disease. The efficacy of the treatment with CT and RT is conditioned by the narrow therapeutic window that make it difficult to establish the balance between doses and the appearance of adverse effects. There is a need to identify genetic biomarkers to optimize treatments trying to increase the survival of NSCLC patients. Genetic variants in the DNA repair genes may play a role in the efficacy of platinum-based CT in NSCLC. In the first study, we analyzed 17 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 8 genes (ERCC1, ERCC2, ERCC3, ERCC4, ERCC5, XPA, XRCC1 and XRCC2) involved in the DNA repair mechanisms and their association with efficacy, survival and toxicity in NSCLC patients. This prospective study included patients with stage IIIA/B and IV treated with platinum-based CT plus a 3rd generation drug. In addition, patients with a stage III received concomitant or sequential RT. We found that in stage III the response was significantly associated with SNPs in the ERCC1 and ERCC3 genes, while the toxicity derived from RT was correlated with SNPs in the ERCC2 gene. In patients with stage IV, the response was associated with a genetic variant in the ERCC4 gene and survival with a SNP in the XRCC1 gene. The VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) pathway has been investigated as a prognostic factor in cancer, including NSCLC. In the second study, we evaluated the relationship between 25 genetic variants in 16 genes involved in the VEGF pathway and the relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) in 131 stage I-III NSCLC patients treated with surgery. We found that the variants KRAS rs1137282 and PIK3C2A rs4356203 were significantly associated with RFS, both in the univariate and multivariable analyzes. No association between the SNPs analyzed and OS was observed. These results provide not only knowledge in the biomarkers area in NSCLC, but the need to improve the research in this field.

    الوصف: PURPOSEThe Atezo-Brain study evaluated atezolizumab combined with chemotherapy in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with untreated brain metastases, a population traditionally excluded from trials.METHODSThis single-arm phase II clinical trial enrolled patients with advanced nonsquamous NSCLC with untreated brain metastases without neurologic symptoms or asymptomatic with medical treatment. Dexamethasone was allowed up to 4 mg once daily. Atezolizumab plus carboplatin and pemetrexed was given for four to six cycles followed by atezolizumab plus pemetrexed until progression for a maximum of 2 years. The primary end points were to determine the progression-free survival (PFS) rate at 12 weeks and the incidence of grade >= 3 adverse events during the first 9 weeks. Intracranial outcomes were assessed using response assessment in neuro-oncology brain metastases criteria.RESULTSForty patients were enrolled and 22 (55%) were receiving corticosteroids at baseline. The overall 12-week PFS rate was 62.2% (95% credibility interval [CrI], 47.1 to 76.2). The rate of grade 3/4 adverse events during the first 9 weeks was 27.5%. Most neurologic events were grade 1 and 2 but five patients (12.5%) experienced grade 3-4 neurologic events. With a median follow-up of 31 months, intracranial median PFS was 6.9 months and response rate was 42.7% (95% CrI, 28.1 to 57.9). Systemic median PFS was 8.9 months and response rate was 45% (95% CrI, 28.1 to 57.9). The median overall survival (OS) was 11.8 months (95% CI, 7.6 to 16.9) and the 2-year OS rate was 27.5% (95% CI, 16.6 to 45.5).CONCLUSIONAtezolizumab plus carboplatin and pemetrexed demonstrates activity in patients with advanced nonsquamous NSCLC with untreated brain metastases with an acceptable safety profile.

    الوصف: Background: Drugs targeting the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC), such as inhibitors of Aurora kinase B (AURKB) and dual specific protein kinase TTK, are in different stages of clinical development. However, cell response to SAC abrogation is poorly understood and there are no markers for patient selection. Methods: A panel of 53 tumor cell lines of different origins was used. The effects of drugs were analyzed by MTT and flow cytometry. Copy number status was determined by FISH and Q-PCR; mRNA expression by nCounter and RT-Q-PCR and protein expression by Western blotting. CRISPR-Cas9 technology was used for gene knock-out (KO) and a doxycycline-inducible pTRIPZ vector for ectopic expression. Finally, in vivo experiments were performed by implanting cultured cells or fragments of tumors into immunodeficient mice. Results: Tumor cells and patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) sensitive to AURKB and TTK inhibitors consistently showed high expression levels of BH3-interacting domain death agonist (BID), while cell lines and PDXs with low BID were uniformly resistant. Gene silencing rendered BID-overexpressing cells insensitive to SAC abrogation while ectopic BID expression in BID-low cells significantly increased sensitivity. SAC abrogation induced activation of CASP-2, leading to cleavage of CASP-3 and extensive cell death only in presence of high levels of BID. Finally, a prevalence study revealed high BID mRNA in 6% of human solid tumors. Conclusions: The fate of tumor cells after SAC abrogation is driven by an AURKB/ CASP-2 signaling mechanism, regulated by BID levels. Our results pave the way to clinically explore SAC-targeting drugs in tumors with high BID expression.

    الوصف: ALK , ROS1 , and RET fusions and MET ∆ex14 variant associate with response to targeted therapies in non‐small‐cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Technologies for fusion testing in tissue must be adapted to liquid biopsies, which are often the only material available. In this study, circulating‐free RNA (cfRNA) and extracellular vesicle RNA (EV‐RNA) were purified from liquid biopsies. Fusion and MET ∆ex14 transcripts were analyzed by nCounter (Nanostring) and digital PCR (dPCR) using the QuantStudio ® System (Applied Biosystems). We found that nCounter detected ALK , ROS1 , RET , or MET ∆ex14 aberrant transcripts in 28/40 cfRNA samples from positive patients and 0/16 of control individuals (70% sensitivity). Regarding dPCR, aberrant transcripts were detected in the cfRNA of 25/40 positive patients. Concordance between the two techniques was 58%. Inferior results were obtained when analyzing EV‐RNA, where nCounter often failed due to a low amount of input RNA. Finally, results of dPCR testing in serial liquid biopsies of five patients correlated with response to targeted therapy. We conclude that nCounter can be used for multiplex detection of fusion and MET ∆ex14 transcripts in liquid biopsies, showing a performance comparable with next‐generation sequencing platforms. dPCR could be employed for disease follow‐up in patients with a known alteration. cfRNA should be preferred over EV‐RNA for these analyses.

    الوصف: Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly aggressive malignancy comprising approximately 15% of lung cancers. Only one-third of patients are diagnosed at limited-stage (LS). Surgical resection can be curative in early stages, followed by platinum–etoposide adjuvant therapy, although only a minority of patients with SCLC qualify for surgery. Concurrent chemo-radiotherapy is the standard of care for LS-SCLC that is not surgically resectable, followed by prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) for patients without progression. For extensive-stage (ES)-SCLC, a combination of platinum and etoposide has historically been a mainstay of treatment. Recently, the efficacy of programmed death-ligand 1 inhibitors combined with chemotherapy has become the new front-line standard of care for ES-SCLC. Emerging knowledge regarding SCLC biology, including genomic characterization and molecular subtyping, and new treatment approaches will potentially lead to advances in SCLC patient care.

    الوصف: Background There are scarce data of the costs of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) recurrence in Spain. The objective of this study is to assess the economic burden of disease recurrence, for both locoregional and/or metastatic relapses, after appropriate early-stage NSCLC treatment in Spain. Materials and methods A two-round consensus panel of Spanish oncologists and hospital pharmacists was conducted to collect information on patient’s flow, treatments, use of healthcare resources and sick leaves in patients with relapsed NSCLC. A decision-tree model was developed to calculate the economic burden of disease recurrence after appropriate early-stage NSCLC. Both direct and indirect costs were considered. Direct costs included drug acquisition and healthcare resources costs. Indirect costs were estimated using the human-capital approach. Unit costs were obtained from national databases (euros of 2022). A multi-way sensitivity analysis was performed to provide a range to the mean values. Results Among a cohort of 100 patients with relapsed NSCLC, 45 patients would have locoregional relapse (36.3 would eventually progress to metastasis and 8.7 would be considered in remission) and 55 patients would have metastatic relapse. Over time, 91.3 patients would experience a metastatic relapse (55 as first relapse and 36.6 after previous locoregional relapse). The overall cost incurred by the 100-patients cohort is €10,095,846 (€9,336,782 direct costs, €795,064 indirect costs). The average cost of a locoregional relapse is €25,194 (€19,658 direct costs, €5536 indirect costs), while the average cost a patient with metastasis who receives up to 4 lines of treatment is €127,167 (€117,328 direct, €9839 indirect). Conclusions To our knowledge, this is the first study that specifically quantifies the cost of relapse in NSCLC in Spain. Our findings shown that the overall cost of a relapse after appropriate treatment of early-stage NSCLC patients is substantial, and it increases considerably in the metastatic relapse ...
