Article Synopsis
  • A study investigated the safety and efficacy of combining regorafenib and low-dose methotrexate for patients with advanced -mutant NSCLC, as there are limited treatment options available beyond G12C inhibitors.
  • The study included 18 patients, revealing a median progression-free survival of 3.7 months and a median overall survival of 10.4 months, with a 16.7% objective response rate.
  • The treatment caused notable toxicity, leading to dose adjustments and discontinuations; consequently, the study did not meet its primary goal of improving progression-free survival.

Purpose: For metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, the addition of radiation therapy (RT) to immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy could have synergistic anti-cancer effects and address the most threatening tumors. We posited that the addition of high-dose RT to ICI could prolong progression-free survival (PFS).

Methods And Materials: In this single-arm phase 2 trial, 45 patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer who had received an anti-PD-1/anti-PD-L1 ICI for 4+ weeks were enrolled from July 2017 to May 2021.

Background: Prior research in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has shown that tumors with specific driver mutations may be less likely to respond to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). In this analysis, we evaluated the characteristics of patients with durable clinical benefit (DCB) to ICI compared to those with no durable clinical benefit (NDB), with emphasis on the role of molecular alterations in EGFR, ALK, and ROS1 and pretreatment neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR).

Methods: We retrospectively collected clinical characteristics and outcomes for patients who initiated ICI monotherapy for advanced NSCLC at Stanford University between April 2015 and May 2018.

Objectives: Limited data are available on central nervous system (CNS) efficacy with standard-of-care therapies for KRAS-mutated (KRASmut) advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The objective of this study was to investigate the incidence and progression of brain metastases in KRASmut advanced NSCLC treated with docetaxel using pooled data from historical clinical trials.

Materials And Methods: Data from phase 2/3 trials of docetaxel-containing regimens in advanced NSCLC were sourced from the Medidata platform.
