Despite the positive results obtained by first-line chemoimmunotherapy in patients with metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), only a few second-line options are available after disease progression. Combi-TED is a phase II international study that will assess the efficacy of Tedopi, a cancer vaccine, combined with either docetaxel or nivolumab and compared with docetaxel monotherapy in patients with metastatic NSCLC after chemoimmunotherapy. The study, currently in the recruitment phase, will assess 1-year overall survival (primary end point), patient's progression-free survival and overall response rate, as well as the correlation of efficacy with several tumor or blood biomarkers. The results will hopefully provide more information on Tedopi combinational treatment compared with current standard of care in NSCLC patients who fail first-line chemoimmunotherapy. NCT04884282 (ClinicalTrials.gov).

Background: Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) followed by consolidative immunotherapy represents the standard of care for unresectable locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC), but critical challenges persist: a considerable number of patients discontinue consolidative immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) due to treatment-related pneumonitis and lymphopenia, while "cold" tumor microenvironments further limit immunotherapy efficacy. Thymosin α1 (Tα1) is a pleiotropic immunomodulator that has been associated with infection prevention and the regulation of immune cells. Thus, we designed this retrospective study to investigate the therapeutic effect of integrating Tα1 into CCRT followed by consolidative immunotherapy in patients diagnosed with unresectable LA-NSCLC.

Background: Angiosarcoma is a rare and aggressive malignancy with limited treatment options. This phase II, multicenter, open-label, single-arm study (AngioCheck) evaluated the efficacy and safety of nivolumab in patients with cutaneous angiosarcoma previously treated with taxane-based chemotherapy.
Methods: Eligible patients had histologically confirmed cutaneous angiosarcoma, prior treatment with docetaxel or paclitaxel, and at least one measurable lesion.

Customizing drug treatments based on individual tumor susceptibility and patient-specific factors is a complex task, highlighting the need for better predictive models tailored to each patient. Preserving tumor architecture is one strategy to address the intricate interactions between stromal cells and tumor cell populations within a patient. In this study, we explored the feasibility of using pretherapeutic endoscopic tissue cultures from patients (ePDTCs) with gastric and esophagogastric junction cancers to assess individual drug susceptibility.

Background: The efficacy of adjuvant nivolumab following neoadjuvant chemotherapy in managing locally advanced esophageal cancer remains unclear. This study evaluated the survival benefits of adjuvant nivolumab after neoadjuvant chemotherapy with a docetaxel, 5-fluorouracil, and cisplatin (DCF) regimen in patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
Methods: This single-center, retrospective study included 439 consecutive patients with locally advanced ESCC who underwent radical esophagectomy following neoadjuvant DCF chemotherapy.
