Background: Patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and stable disease (SD) have an unmet clinical need to help guide early treatment adjustments.

Objective: To evaluate the potential of tumor biomarkers to inform on survival outcomes in NSCLC SD patients.

Methods: This post hoc analysis included 480 patients from the IMpower150 study with metastatic NSCLC, treated with chemotherapy, atezolizumab and bevacizumab combinations, who had SD at first CT scan (post-treatment initiation). Patients were stratified into high- and low-risk groups (overall survival [OS] and progression-free survival [PFS] outcomes) based on serum tumor biomarker levels.

Results: The CYFRA 21-1 and CA 125 biomarker combination predicted OS and PFS in patients with SD. Risk of death was ~4-fold higher for the biomarker-stratified high-risk versus low-risk SD patients (hazard ratio [HR] 3.80; 95% confidence interval [CI] 3.02-4.78; p < 0.0001). OS in patients with the low- and high-risk SD was comparable to that in patients with the CT-defined partial response (PR; HR 1.10; 95% CI 0.898-1.34) and progressive disease (PD) (HR 1.05; 95% CI 0.621-1.77), respectively. The findings were similar with PFS, and consistent across treatment arms.

Conclusions: Biomarker testing shows potential for providing prognostic information to help direct treatment in NSCLC patients with SD. Prospective clinical studies are warranted.ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02366143.

A novel approach to developing lateral flow assays (LFAs) for the detection of CYFRA 21-1 (cytokeratin 19 fragment, a molecular biomarker for epithelial-origin cancers) is proposed. Magnetic bioconjugates (MBCs) were employed in combination with advanced optical and magnetic tools to optimize assay conditions. The approach integrates such techniques as label-free spectral-phase interferometry, colorimetric detection, and ultrasensitive magnetometry using the magnetic particle quantification (MPQ) technique.

: Lung nodules detected by chest computed tomography (CT) often require invasive biopsies for definitive diagnosis, leading to unnecessary procedures for benign lesions. A blood-based biomarker test that predicts lung cancer risk in CT-detected nodules could help stratify patients and direct invasive diagnostics toward high-risk individuals. : In this multicenter, single-blinded clinical trial, we evaluated a test measuring plasma levels of p53, anti-p53 autoantibodies, CYFRA 21-1, and anti-CYFRA 21-1 autoantibodies in patients with CT-detected lung nodules.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the role of serum proteins as biomarkers for early detection of HPV-related cervical cancer, focusing on proteins like CEA, SCCA, HMGB1, and CYFRA 21-1.
  • Analysis of blood samples from 36 cervical cancer patients revealed that CEA was the most frequently detected protein, highlighting variations based on different HPV types.
  • The findings suggest that CEA could serve as a reliable biomarker for cervical cancer, especially in cases linked to HPV-16, which showed the highest response rates among the tested proteins.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated the potential of the abnormal glycan structure Siaα-2,6Gal for diagnosing lung cancer early and differentiating it from other conditions.
  • Clinical data and serum samples were analyzed from 730 lung cancer patients and 120 healthy individuals, measuring various serum markers including Siaα-2,6Gal and traditional tumor markers.
  • Results showed that Siaα-2,6Gal levels were significantly higher in lung cancer patients, especially in early-stage cases, indicating it may serve as a more effective biomarker than traditional tests for diagnosing lung cancer.*

Cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA21-1) is considered to be a potential marker for the diagnosis and of classification of lung cancer. It is highly desired to develop rapid and highly sensitive label-free chemiluminescence (CL) immunosensors for the detection of CYFRA21-1. In this work, magnetic core-shell nanocomposite FeO@nickel-cobalt double hydroxide (FeO@DH) was used for the first time as a carrier to synthesize N-(4-aminobutyl)-N-ethylisoluminol (ABEI) and gold and silver nanocluster (AuAgNC) bifunctionalized magnetic nanomaterials FeO@DH/AuAgNCs-ABEI.
