Correlations between 14-gene RNA-level assay and clinical and molecular features in resectable non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer: a cross-sectional study. (PubMed, Transl Lung Cancer Res)
Our results indicate that 14-gene RNA-level assay is correlated with specific genetic mutations, including TP53, KRAS, and LRP1B. These insights provide a stronger foundation for integrating molecular risk assessment with clinical and imaging data, offering more comprehensive information to guide more targeted and effective adjuvant therapy strategies in the future management of lung cancer.

Neutralizing GDF-15 can overcome anti-PD-1 and anti-PD-L1 resistance in solid tumours. (PubMed, Nature)
In a first-in-human phase 1-2a study (GDFATHER-1/2a trial, NCT04725474 ), patients with advanced cancers refractory to anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 therapy (termed generally as anti-PD-1/PD-L1 refractoriness) were treated with the neutralizing anti-GDF-15 antibody visugromab (CTL-002) in combination with the anti-PD-1 antibody nivolumab. Increased levels of tumour infiltration, proliferation, interferon-γ-related signalling and granzyme B expression by cytotoxic T cells were observed in response to treatment. Neutralizing GDF-15 holds promise in overcoming resistance to immune checkpoint inhibition in cancer.

Prognosis prediction using significant pathological response following neoadjuvant immunotherapy in resectable non-small-cell lung tumors: a meta-analysis. (PubMed, Front Surg)
Individuals with resectable NSCLCs had significantly higher major pathological response when comparing neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, objective response rate to non-objective response rate, and programmed death-ligand 1≥1% to programmed death-ligand 1 ≤1%, however, no significant difference was found between stage III and stage I-II, and squamous cell cancer and non-squamous cell cancer. To validate this discovery, more research is required since most of the selected studies had a low sample size, and caution must be implemented when interacting with its values.

Mutation-guided chemotherapy-free strategy in first-line immunotherapy for low PD-L1-expressing non-squamous NSCLC. (PubMed, J Immunother Cancer)
A high ISAC was identified as a significant predictor for virtually no added value of platinum-doublet chemotherapy for first-line ICI treatment in low PD-L1-expressing nsqNSCLC. Our findings may help refine personalized therapeutic strategies for nsqNSCLC, thereby improving efficacy and reducing undue toxicity.

Camrelizumab plus carboplatin and pemetrexed as first-line therapy for advanced non-squamous non-small-cell lung cancer: 5-year outcomes of the CameL randomized phase 3 study. (PubMed, J Immunother Cancer)
Camrelizumab plus carboplatin and pemetrexed as first-line therapy continued to demonstrate long-term OS benefit over carboplatin and pemetrexed, with manageable toxicity. Patients who completed 2 years of camrelizumab had enduring response and impressive OS. Current 5-year updated analysis further supports camrelizumab plus carboplatin and pemetrexed as a standard-of-care for previously untreated advanced non-squamous NSCLC without EGFR/ALK alterations.
