This study assessed physician-reported treatment patterns for metastatic bladder cancer. A total of 106 USA-based physicians were surveyed in 2020 using the CancerMPact online survey. Among cisplatin-eligible patients, 86.1% received first-line (1L) platinum-containing chemotherapy, most commonly cisplatin plus gemcitabine, and 9.8% received immune checkpoint inhibitor monotherapy. Among cisplatin-ineligible patients, 46.5% received 1L platinum-containing chemotherapy, most commonly carboplatin plus gemcitabine and 46.2% received 1L immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. Approximately 44% of patients who received 1L treatment received second-line (2L) therapy after progression. Platinum-containing chemotherapy was the most widely reported 1L treatment approach. A high proportion of patients received no 2L therapy. Validation in an updated dataset is warranted following the practice-changing approvals of avelumab 1L maintenance and additional 2L options.

Article Synopsis
- Zolbetuximab is a chimeric monoclonal antibody designed to target the Claudin 18.2 protein, which is overexpressed in certain gastrointestinal cancers, notably gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinomas.
- This drug initiates an immune response to attack cancer cells when combined with standard chemotherapy regimens, and it has been approved as a first-line treatment for advanced, unresectable cancers in specific patient populations.
- Clinical trials show that zolbetuximab significantly improves progression-free survival and overall survival rates compared to chemotherapy alone, while maintaining a relatively safe profile for patients.

Cisplatin (CDDP) is the primary drug used in the initial treatment of esophageal cancer (EC). However, its side effects and resistance can limit its effectiveness in clinical therapy. Curcumin (Cur)-mediated glutathione (GSH) depletion can reverse resistance, enhance the chemosensitivity of CDDP, and further improve the efficacy of platinum-containing chemotherapy in the treatment of esophageal cancer.

Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of anlotinib combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods: Clinical data on patients with advanced NSCLC were collected from June 2019 to October 2022 at Hebei General Hospital, China. The efficacy and safety of anlotinib combined with ICIs and platinum-containing chemotherapy were retrospectively analyzed.

Introduction: Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) remains a devastating disease and second line treatment options in the metastatic space are limited. Homologous recombination (HR) defects have been described in EAC in up to 40% of patients. Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP)1 and PARP2 inhibitors have shown efficacy in HR defective prostate and ovarian cancers.

Enlonstobart (Enshuxing), a recombinant, fully humanised immunoglobulin G4 monoclonal antibody targeted against programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), is being developed by the CSPC Pharmaceutical Group for the treatment of advanced cervical cancer and other solid tumours. Enlonstobart received its first approval (a conditional marketing authorisation) in June 2024, in China, for use in patients with recurrent or metastatic programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1)-positive cervical cancer who have failed previous platinum-containing chemotherapy. Phase III clinical evaluation of enlonstobart for use as first-line treatment (in combination with chemotherapy ± bevacizumab) in patients with recurrent or metastatic PD-L1-positive cervical cancer is also underway in China.
