Bronchiolitis after Combination Immunotherapy With Ipilimumab and Nivolumab in a Melanoma Patient.

Therapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has significantly improved the prognosis of metastatic melanoma but is also associated with various immune-related adverse events (AE), including pulmonary toxicity. Herein, we describe the case of a 60-year-old female with metastasized melanoma with BRAF mutation under combination immunotherapy with ipilimumab and nivolumab, who presented with a persistent, nonproductive cough for the last two months. Her CT-scan showed de novo bronchial inflammation and wall thickening in all lung fields.

Exploring the impact of patient-specific clinical features on osimertinib effectiveness in a real-world cohort of patients with EGFR mutated non-small cell lung cancer.

Osimertinib is prescribed to patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and a sensitizing EGFR mutation. Limited data exists on the impact of patient characteristics or osimertinib exposure on effectiveness outcomes. This was a Dutch, multicenter cohort study.

Incidence of Bone Metastases and Skeletal-Related Events in Patients With -Mutated NSCLC Treated With Osimertinib.

Introduction: Bone metastases are frequent in patients with -mutated () NSCLC. Skeletal-related events (SREs) are common in these patients; however, no data on SRE in osimertinib-treated patients are reported. We investigated the development of bone metastases and SREs in patients with NSCLC treated with osimertinib.

A Systematic Evaluation of Cost-Saving Dosing Regimens for Therapeutic Antibodies and Antibody-Drug Conjugates for the Treatment of Lung Cancer.

Background: Expensive novel anticancer drugs put a serious strain on healthcare budgets, and the associated drug expenses limit access to life-saving treatments worldwide.

Objective: We aimed to develop alternative dosing regimens to reduce drug expenses.

Methods: We developed alternative dosing regimens for the following monoclonal antibodies used for the treatment of lung cancer: amivantamab, atezolizumab, bevacizumab, durvalumab, ipilimumab, nivolumab, pembrolizumab, and ramucirumab; and for the antibody-drug conjugate trastuzumab deruxtecan.

Clinical Outcomes of Patients With Metastatic NSCLC After Discontinuation of Immunotherapy Because of Immune-Related Adverse Effects.

Introduction: Immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) is an important treatment modality in metastatic NSCLC and management of immunotherapy-related adverse effects (irAEs) can be challenging. Retreatment after discontinuation of ICI because of irAEs is a frequent clinical dilemma with limited available data.

Methods: This single-center retrospective observational study reviewed the clinical course of 30 patients with metastatic NSCLC in whom ICI had to be discontinued owing to a serious irAE after an initial objective response to therapy.
