AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Talacotuzumab, a humanized anti-CD123 monoclonal antibody, was evaluated in combination with decitabine in elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) not eligible for intensive chemotherapy. A multicenter, phase 2/3 study was initiated to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of talacotuzumab (Part A) followed by an open-label, randomized comparison of talacotuzumab in combination with decitabine versus decitabine alone to assess achievement of complete response (CR) and overall survival (OS) in Part B. Ten patients were enrolled in Part A and 316 in Part B; the results presented here are based on a database lock on January 25, 2018. Part A confirmed the RP2D of talacotuzumab to be 9 mg/kg. In Part B, CR was achieved in 12/80 (15%) patients receiving combination therapy and in 9/82 (11%) patients receiving decitabine alone (odds ratio: 1.4; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.6-3.6; p = 0.44). Median (95% CI) OS was 5.36 (4.27-7.95) months for combination therapy versus 7.26 (6.47-8.64) months for decitabine alone (hazard ratio: 1.04; 95% CI: 0.79-1.37; p = 0.78). Combination therapy showed no improvement in efficacy versus decitabine alone, resulting in the Independent Data Monitoring Committee's recommendation of early termination of enrollment and discontinuation of talacotuzumab treatment.

Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-mutant gliomas are the most common malignant primary brain tumors in young adults. This condition imposes a substantial burden on patients and their caregivers, marked by neurocognitive deficits and high mortality rates due to tumor progression, coupled with significant morbidity from current treatment modalities. Although surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy improve survival, these treatments can adversely affect cognitive function, quality of life, finances, employment status, and overall independence.

The incidence of lung cancer is the highest among all tumors, and treatment has become an urgent problem to be solved. The Drug-eluting bead-based bronchial arterial chemoembolization (DEB-BACE) combination immunotherapy is a rare neoadjuvant therapy for lung cancer surgery, which can significantly reduce the time it takes for lung cancer patients to undergo surgery.We report a male patient, aged 59-year-old, with Stage-III b squamous cell lung cancer accompanied by hemoptysis underwent surgical resection after DEB-BACE combination immunotherapy treatment 21 days later without obvious adverse events.
