A Phase II Exploratory Multicenter Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Neoadjuvant Short-Course Radiotherapy (SCRT) Followed by CAPEOX Chemotherapy and Serplulimab in Microsatellite Stable (MSS) or Proficient Mismatch Repair (pMMR) Rectal Cancer with Synchronous Oligometastases

Background and Significance:
Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks as the third most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally. Despite improved early screening rates, a significant proportion of newly diagnosed CRC patients present with synchronous metastases, predominantly liver metastases. The concept of oligometastases, introduced by Hellman and Weichselbaum in 1995, describes a transitional state between localized disease and widespread metastases, characterized by limited metastatic lesions (typically 1-5) confined to 1-2 organs.
Current Treatment Landscape:
The management of oligometastatic disease combines local therapeutic approaches (surgery, radiotherapy, radiofrequency ablation) with systemic treatments, aiming to achieve No Evidence of Disease (NED) status. The ESMO guidelines officially categorized metastatic CRC into oligometastatic and widespread metastatic states in 2016, emphasizing the importance of integrated local and systemic treatments for oligometastatic colorectal liver metastases (CRLM).
Treatment Evolution and Challenges:
While the EPOC study established CAPEOX neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by R0 resection as the standard treatment for initially resectable CRLM, patients with synchronous rectal cancer oligometastases present unique challenges due to complex local anatomy and high local recurrence risks. Although various neoadjuvant approaches, including Total Neoadjuvant Therapy (TNT), have been studied, they have not demonstrated significant long-term survival benefits, primarily because distant metastases impact survival more significantly than local recurrence.
Innovative Approach:
Recent success with Immunotherapy-Based Total Neoadjuvant Therapy (iTNT) in microsatellite stable/proficient mismatch repair (MSS/pMMR) locally advanced rectal cancer has shown promising results. Short-course radiotherapy (SCRT) combined with chemotherapy and immunotherapy has demonstrated superior efficacy trends, attributed to radiation's immune-activating effects on both local and distant tumor microenvironments.
Research Objective:
This project aims to evaluate the effectiveness of iTNT combined with SCRT in MSS/pMMR rectal cancer patients with synchronous oligometastases. The novel approach integrates SCRT with CAPEOX chemotherapy and Serplulimab, potentially improving complete response rates, organ preservation opportunities, and overall treatment efficacy while reducing recurrence risks. This pioneering study represents the first investigation of iTNT in synchronous rectal cancer oligometastases, offering a potentially transformative treatment strategy for this challenging patient population.
Research Innovation:
The study uniquely combines SCRT, CAPEOX chemotherapy, and Serplulimab in a neoadjuvant setting for MSS/pMMR synchronous rectal cancer oligometastases, addressing an unmet clinical need and potentially establishing a new treatment paradigm in this field.

Serplulimab Combined with Chemotherapy for Early-stage HR+/HER2- Breast Cancer

The neoadjuvant treatment options commonly used for HR+/HER2- breast cancer are mainly anthracycline sequential or combined with paclitaxel chemotherapy regimens. Several clinical studies have confirmed that albumin paclitaxel is more effective than solvent-based paclitaxel, and therefore, albumin paclitaxel in combination with epirubicin has also become a commonly used chemotherapy regimen in clinical practice.
The aim of this study was to explore the efficacy and safety of the Serplulimab combined with nab-paclitaxel and epirubicin in the neoadjuvant treatment of HR+/HER2- breast cancer

Deep analysis of the trials and major challenges in the first-line treatment for patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer

Review

Author: Yin, Xiaoyan ; Zhuang, Lulu ; Wu, Peizhu ; Gao, Ran ; Meng, Xiangjiao

The median overall survival (OS) is approximately 10 months when chemotherapy alone is the first-line treatment for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). The approval of the two PD-L1 inhibitors, atezolizumab and durvalumab, marked the beginning of the immunotherapy era for ES-SCLC. Serplulimab, as the first PD-1 inhibitor to achieve success in the first-line treatment of ES-SCLC, has not only demonstrated significant improvements in patient survival outcomes but also ushered in a new era for PD-1 inhibitors in the treatment of ES-SCLC. Recently, antiangiogenic agents with chemo-immunotherapy have achieved breakthroughs in first-line ES-SCLC treatment. Improving the clinical benefits of individualized treatment for patients with ES-SCLC remains challenging. Challenges include identifying biomarkers for targeted therapy, exploring new treatments, developing new medicines, and classifying SCLC molecular subtypes. This review provides an in-depth analysis of research on first-line ES-SCLC treatment. Additionally, it discusses advances in ES-SCLC treatment.

Combined treatment of small cell lung cancer using radiotherapy and immunotherapy: Challenges and updates

Review

Author: Cao, Zhumin ; Tian, Ke ; Wang, Bin ; Jiang, Jinxiu ; Deng, Kai

Currently, chemotherapy remains the standard first- and second-line treatment for small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Research concerning immunotherapy has brought about a remarkable development in the treatment pattern of SCLC. Atirizumab, duvalizumab, atezolizumab, and serplulimab can significantly improve the clinical outcomes of SCLC. Given the rapidly evolving concept that combining immunotherapy with radiotherapy can increase therapeutic effectiveness, clinicians are devoted to further improving local tumor control by integrating immunotherapy with radiotherapy. This paper reviews the research progress in this field to date and explores ways to further enhance the efficacy of this combination therapy. We first discussed that immunotherapy combined with radiotherapy can improve the abscopal effect, progression-free survival, and overall survival rates of SCLC patients. Then, the biomarkers related to the radiation immune microenvironment, such as programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1), tumor mutational burden (TMB), and the immune function of patients were discussed. Next, we explored the occurrence and underlying mechanisms of immune resistance during radiotherapy implementation. Finally, we clarified that the emerging trend of low-dose radiotherapy help overcome the inhibitory signals that limit T-cell infiltration in the tumor matrix. In summary, considering the rapid development of this field, these combined therapy strategies may have unlimited potential to further improve the efficacy of radiotherapy combined with immunotherapy for patients.

Author: Zhao, Lishu ; Zhang, Xinyu ; Wang, Hao ; Chen, Zhimin ; Ye, Li ; Guo, Zhiyi ; Liu, Xinyue ; Liu, Yujin ; He, Yayi ; Zhao, Wencheng ; Zhang, Wengang ; Xu, Kandi

Background:

Combination regimens of immunotherapy plus chemotherapy have been approved as the first-line and standard of care for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). Novel regimens are continuously being explored, with the ETER701 study being the representative randomized controlled trial (RCT). ETER701 study has assessed the efficacy and safety of chemotherapy with or without anlotinib (multi-target angiogenesis inhibitor) + benmelstobart (programmed cell death ligand 1 inhibitor) (Anl/Ben/CT). There is no evidence-based medicine available proving that Anl/Ben/CT is the optimal regimen due to the lack of direct or indirect comparisons among varying immunotherapy-based regimens. In this study, we aimed to identify the optimal regimen to assist in clinical decision-making.

Methods:

The eligible RCTs were identified by searching PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library databases, and major international conferences. Then, the network meta-analysis was analyzed to compare the efficacy and safety among 15 first-line regimens in ES-SCLC. The Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool was used to assess the risk of bias in included studies.

Results:

A total of 12 immunotherapy-related RCTs covering 15 interventions and 6,178 patients with ES-SCLC were included. Overall, most RCTs exhibited a low risk of bias across multiple domains. The results indicated that most immunotherapy-based regimens could significantly prolong progression-free survival (PFS) compared with chemotherapy alone, especially Anl/Ben/CT [hazard ratio (HR) 0.32, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.25-0.40]. Similar results were observed regarding overall survival (OS), that is, most immunotherapy-related regimens dramatically reduced the risk of death in ES-SCLC, with Anl/Ben/CT being the most prominent (HR 0.61, 95% CI: 0.47-0.80). The Bayesian ranking probabilities showed that Anl/Ben/CT ranked first and serplulimab plus chemotherapy ranked second in both PFS and OS among 15 regimens. Regarding safety, Anl/Ben/CT ranked 3rd, and serplulimab plus chemotherapy ranked 7th.

Conclusions:

Adding anlotinib and benmelstobart to chemotherapy significantly improved PFS and OS compared with chemotherapy alone or chemotherapy plus immunotherapy, with an acceptable safety profile in patients with ES-SCLC. In conclusion, Anl/Ben/CT could be a new, preferable first-line treatment option but further clinical studies are needed to validate its efficacy and safety.

TEPMETKO Continues to Strengthens its Position as a Leading METex14 Skipping NSCLC Therapy | DelveInsight

With increasing biomarker-driven cancer treatments, TEPMETKO benefits from growing adoption in precision oncology. Competition from other MET inhibitors like TABRECTA (capmatinib) exists, but TEPMETKO's once-daily dosing and efficacy profile offer differentiation. LAS VEGAS, March 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- DelveInsight's " TEPMETKO Market Size, Forecast, and Market Insight Report" highlights the details around TEPMETKO, a kinase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic NSCLC harboring MET exon 14 skipping alterations. The report provides product descriptions, patent details, and competitor products (marketed and emerging therapies) of TEPMETKO. The report also highlights the historical and forecasted sales from 2020 to 2034 segmented into 7MM [the United States, the EU4 (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain), the United Kingdom, and Japan]. EMD Serono's TEPMETKO (tepotinib) Overview TEPMETKO is a kinase inhibitor prescribed for adult patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) carrying MET exon 14 skipping alterations. The active component is Tepotinib (as hydrochloride monohydrate), administered orally. Patients should be cautioned about the heightened risk of severe or fatal interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis, liver toxicity, and potential embryo-fetal toxicity, necessitating effective contraception during and shortly after treatment. Tepotinib specifically targets MET, including variants with exon 14 skipping mutations. It blocks HGF-dependent and independent MET phosphorylation, disrupting MET-driven signaling pathways. Additionally, at clinically relevant concentrations, Tepotinib inhibits melatonin 2 and imidazoline 1 receptors. In vitro studies show that it suppresses tumor cell proliferation, anchorage-independent growth, and migration of MET-dependent cancer cells. In mouse models with MET-driven tumors, including those with MET exon 14 skipping alterations, Tepotinib reduced tumor growth, sustained MET phosphorylation inhibition, and, in one case, decreased metastasis formation. The recommended dose of TEPMETKO is 450 mg taken orally once daily until disease progression or intolerable toxicity occurs. Patients should take it at the same time each day, swallowing tablets whole without chewing, crushing, or splitting them. If a dose is missed and less than eight hours remain until the next scheduled dose, patients should skip it. In cases of vomiting after taking TEPMETKO, the next dose should be taken at the usual time. Learn more about TEPMETKO projected market size for NSCLC @ TEPMETKO Market Potential Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer, accounting for 81% of all diagnosed cases. Early detection greatly improves outcomes, but diagnosing NSCLC and other lung cancers is challenging because their symptoms are often mistaken for common illnesses or the long-term effects of smoking. Consequently, 80% of NSCLC cases are already at advanced stages by the time they are identified, making treatment more difficult. Around 80% of EGFR mutations in NSCLC involve either exon 19 deletions or the exon 21 L858R substitution, both of which are classified as sensitizing mutations. Until the last decade, chemotherapy was the primary treatment for advanced and metastatic lung cancer. However, this changed in 2015 with the approval of the first immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI), KEYTRUDA (pembrolizumab), as a second-line therapy for advanced cases. This was followed by TECENTRIQ (atezolizumab) in 2016. Both therapies were later approved for first-line treatment, broadening their use to a larger patient population. In 2020, the combination of OPDIVO (nivolumab) and ipilimumab also received approval as a first-line treatment for metastatic NSCLC. According to DelveInsight, the NSCLC market size across the 7MM is projected to grow from USD 30 billion in 2024, with a substantial CAGR through 2034. This growth is largely driven by the introduction of emerging therapies during the forecast period (2025–2034).

In June 2024, the Phase 1 clinical study (NCT05679258) of HLX15 was successfully completed, meeting its primary endpoint. The findings indicate that HLX15 had similar pharmacokinetic characteristics, as well as comparable safety and immunogenicity profiles to the US-, EU-, and CN-sourced daratumumab. Comparative efficacy studies are currently underway. *Darzalex® & Darzalex Faspro® are registered trademarks of Johnson & Johnson. About Dr. Reddy's Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd.
