Purpose: Transcriptomic subtyping holds promise for personalized therapy in extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). In this study, we aimed to assess intratumoral transcriptomic subtype diversity and to identify biomarkers of long-term chemoimmunotherapy benefit in human ES-SCLC.
Experimental Design: We analyzed tumor samples from 58 patients with ES-SCLC enrolled in two multicenter single-arm phase IIIb studies evaluating frontline chemoimmunotherapy in Spain: n = 32 from the IMfirst trial and n = 26 from the CANTABRICO trial.
Introduction: We aimed to determine if advanced BRAF-mutant NSCLC has a higher thromboembolic events (TEE) rate than the expected.
Methods: Between 2008 and 2021, 182 patients with BRAF-mutant advanced NSCLC (BRAF V600E, n = 70; BRAF non-V600E, n = 112) were retrospectively identified from 18 centers in Spain. Patients received chemotherapy (n = 147), immunotherapy (n = 69), targeted therapy (n = 42), and immunotherapy + chemotherapy (n = 26).

Introduction: Over the last decade, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have impacted on the standard therapy for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). ICIs first showed efficacy in patients with advanced disease who had progressed after chemotherapy, later reaching the first-line therapy context alone, in combination with chemotherapy, and/or with dual-immunotherapy regimens.
Areas Covered: Most of their benefit is, however, restricted to just 20% of patients due to primary or emergence of acquired resistance.
