Purpose: Our aim here was to determine whether or not the addition of cisplatin into vinorelbine (V) treatment is an appropriate regimen for physically fit chemo-naïve non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients aged 70 or older.
Patients And Methods: Patients were randomized into vinorelbine (V) or vinorelbine plus cisplatin (VP) treatment arms. Treatment consisted of vinorelbine 25 mg/m(2) intravenous infusion (i.v.) on days 1 and 8 every 3 weeks (V arm), or vinorelbine 22.5 mg/m(2) i.v. on days 1 and 8 plus cisplatin 50 mg/m(2) i.v. on day 1 every 3 weeks (VP arm).
Results: Sixty-five patients were enrolled from May 2005 to December 2006, including 31 who received V treatment and 34 who received VP treatment. Objective response rates were 16.1% in V and 32.4% in VP (p=0.009). Control rates were 51.6% in V and 82.4% in VP (p=0.008). Myelosuppression was more common and severe in the VP arm. Any grade of anemia and neutropenia was significantly higher in the VP arm (p=0.001 and 0.009, respectively). Fatigue sensation was more common and severe in the VP arm (p=0.032). Median time to disease progression was 3.1 months in the V arm and 5.2 months in the VP arm (p=0.0303). The 1-year survival rate was 50.9% in the V arm and 47.2% in the VP arm.
Conclusions: Adding cisplatin to vinorelbine treatment is feasible in elderly patients, and has a better response rate and longer median time to disease progression. However, both statistically significantly higher toxicity and no survival advantage for the combination treatment was observed.

Department of Medical Oncology, Institut Paoli-Calmettes, Marseille, France.
Background: The MOVIE phase I/II trial (NCT03518606) evaluated the safety and antitumor activity of durvalumab and tremelimumab combined with metronomic oral vinorelbine in patients with advanced tumors. We present the results of the recurrent advanced cervical cancer cohort.
Methods: Patients received tremelimumab (intravenously, 75 mg, every four weeks (Q4W); four cycles max) plus durvalumab (intravenously, 1,500 mg, Q4W; 26 cycles max) and metronomic oral vinorelbine (40 mg, every three weeks (3QW)) until disease progression.
Eribulin Induction of Immunogenic Cell Death (ICD): Comparison With Other Cytotoxic Agents and Temporal Relationship of ICD Biomarkers.

Eisai Inc., Cambridge, MA, U.S.A.
Background/aim: Preclinical studies were undertaken to investigate whether eribulin's known cytotoxic antimitotic effects are characterized by immunogenic cell death (ICD) as assessed by three established ICD biomarkers: extracellular released ATP, released HMGB1 and cell surface calreticulin.
Materials And Methods: Using BT-549, Hs578T and MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines, antiproliferative IC's of eribulin, five other microtubule targeting agents (MTAs; ER-076349, vinblastine, vinorelbine, paclitaxel, docetaxel) and three DNA damaging agents (DDAs; doxorubicin, cisplatin, oxaliplatin) were determined.
Results: Treatment of cells with 10×IC concentrations of all drugs in serum-free media resulted in time-dependent induction of cytotoxicity over DMSO controls.
Optimizing Real-World Outcomes in High-Risk Relapsed/Refractory (r/r) DLBCL with CAR T Cell Therapy: A Vodcast and Case Example.

Department of Hematology, Regional University Hospital, Málaga, Spain.
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is effective in the treatment of patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), even those with high-grade disease. However, it has a unique safety profile, including cytokine-release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), and robust management of these events are important to maximize benefits. The aim of this vodcast is to outline the management of a patient receiving CAR T-cell therapy for relapsed/refractory (r/r) DLBCL.

Background: Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress (ER stress) was an important event in the development of breast cancer. We aimed to predict prognosis based on ER stress related key genes.
Methods: Data of the RNA-seq and clinical information of breast cancer cases were downloaded from the TCGA database.
A case of salvage surgery following chemoradiotherapy and durvalumab for initially unresectable superior sulcus tumor with N3 involvement.

Background: Durvalumab after chemoradiation (PACIFIC regimen) provides favorable treatment outcomes for unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The feasibility of salvage surgery after the PACIFIC regimen has been reported in some studies; however, its efficacy remains unclear. We herein present the first case of salvage surgery after the PACIFIC regimen for a superior sulcus tumor with N3 involvement, in which a pathological complete response was achieved.
