    Predictive biomarkers of response and survival following immunotherapy with a PD-L1 inhibitor benmelstobart (TQB2450) and antiangiogenic therapy with a VEGFR inhibitor anlotinib for pretreated advanced triple negative breast cancer. (PubMed, Signal Transduct Target Ther)
    Patients with both low MSAF and low bTMB showed a notably better objective response to anlotinib plus TQB2450 (70% vs. 11%, P < 0.001) and a significantly longer median PFS (11.0 vs. 2.9 months, P < 0.001) than patients with other scenarios. Our findings support future studes and validation of MSAF and the combined bTMB-MSAF classification as predictive biomarkers of immune checkpoint inhibitor-based regimens in advanced TNBC patients.

    A randomized double-blind trial of TQB2450 with or without anlotinib in pretreated driver-negative non-small cell lung cancer. (PubMed, Lung Cancer)
    Anlotinib plus TQB2450 demonstrated promising antitumor activities in advanced NSCLC patients without EGFR and ALK alterations and the toxicities were overall manageable. The study findings support the continued development of TQB2450 plus anlotinib for advanced NSCLC patients without driver gene alterations.

    Update results of anlotinib combined with TQB2450 (PD-L1 blockade) as first-line treatment for advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC): A single-arm, multicenter, open-label phase II clinical trial (ESMO 2023)
    The common grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse events in 46 patients were hypertension (7%), hyponatremia (4%), low white blood cell count (2%), neutrophil count decreased (2%), platelet count decreased (2%), intestinal obstruction (2%), haemoptysis (2%) and toothache (2%). Conclusions The preliminary results highlighted that anlotinib plus TQB2450 as a first-line therapy for advanced ESCC showed encouraging efficacy and manageable safety profile.

    However, the IMpower150 study subgroup analyses shows Atezolizumab (PD-L1) plus bevacizumab and chemotherapy improved overall survival in EGFR TKI treated NSCLC. The chemo-free combination of TQ-B2450 and anlotinib has shown incredible anti-tumor efficacy and well tolerance in the treatment of EGFR+ advanced NSCLC who failed to prior EGFR TKI therapies. Pts will be continuously monitored to determine longer-term outcomes.
