The patient subsequently received adjuvant treatment with immunotherapy (penpulimab) combined with chemotherapy, followed by penpulimab maintenance therapy, resulting in a progression-free survival of >44 months...Third, it explores the clinical implications of the KRAS mutation in this unique tumor subtype. The overarching goal of this exploration is to offer valuable clinical guidance for managing this rare and understudied subtype of lung cancer, particularly in the context of multimodal therapy involving immunotherapy.

This prospective exploratory phase 2 study employed a three-cohort, two-phase design to evaluate the potential of anlotinib as a substitute for cisplatin in gemcitabine-penpulimab combinations for metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients who were previously treated with cisplatin-based chemoradiotherapy. The GAP regimen demonstrated a favorable safety and efficacy profile, compared to the GP-PA and GP-P regimens in patients with metastatic NPC. These findings suggest that substituting cisplatin with anlotinib may offer a viable therapeutic strategy for this patient population.

The present study aimed to establish a penpulimab-resistant model, delineate anti-PD-1 resistance traits via single-cell RNA sequencing, and unravel the precise mechanisms through which anlotinib-an anti-angiogenic agent-mitigates penpulimab resistance. Identifying Apoe⁺ M2 macrophages, Srgn⁺ M1 macrophages, and Cxcl2⁺ T cells provides key cellular and molecular targets for developing clinically actionable immunotherapies. Taken together, this work validates the preclinical potential of anlotinib combined with immunotherapy for immunotherapy-resistant tumors.
Toripalimab and penpulimab significantly improve outcomes in RM-NPC. Their use is anticipated to expand into additional settings and malignancies as research matures.
