Efficacy and Safety of First-line Carboplatin-paclitaxel and Carboplatin-gemcitabine in Patients With Advanced Triple-negative Breast Cancer: A Monocentric, Retrospective Comparison

Bianchi, Giuseppe Capri, Giancarlo Pruneri, Filippo de Braud, Claudio Vernieri

Summary: Single-agent chemotherapy, alone or with immunotherapy, is the first-line standard-of-care treatment for advanced TNBC patients. This study supports the use of carboplatin-based doublets as first-line regimens and demonstrates better survival outcomes with carboplatin-gemcitabine in patients previously treated with taxanes. Further research is needed to investigate chemo-immunotherapy combinations containing carboplatin-based doublets.

Clinical Outcomes After Progression on First-Line Therapies in IDH1 Mutated Versus Wild-Type Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma Patients

Margherita Rimini, Carles Fabregat-Franco, Mara Persano, Valentina Burgio, Francesca Bergamo, Monica Niger, Mario Scartozzi, Ilario Giovanni Rapposelli, Giuseppe Aprile, Francesca Ratti, Federica Pedica, Helena Verdaguer, Mario Rizzato, Federico Nichetti, Eleonora Lai, Alessandro Cappetta, Teresa Macarulla, Matteo Fassan, Filippo De Braud, Andrea Pretta, Francesca Simionato, Francesco De Cobelli, Luca Aldrighetti, Lorenzo Fornaro, Stefano Cascinu, Andrea Casadei-Gardini

Summary: This study investigated the prognostic impact of IDH1 mutations in patients with advanced iCCA after progression on first-line therapies. The presence of IDH1 mutations was associated with worse overall survival and worse objective response rate in second-line therapy. IDH1 mutations were confirmed as an independent negative prognostic factor.

Neutralizing antibodies to Omicron after the fourth SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine dose in immunocompromised patients highlight the need of additional boosters

Summary: This study compared the B-cell, T-cell, and neutralizing antibody response to WT and Omicron BA.2 SARS-CoV-2 virus in patients with hematological malignancies, solid tumors, and immune-rheumatological diseases after the fourth dose of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. The T-cell response was similarly boosted by the fourth dose across different subgroups, while the antibody response was improved only in patients not receiving B-cell targeted therapies. However, a small percentage of patients did not have neutralizing antibodies to either virus variants, making them vulnerable to SARS-CoV-2 infection. The increment of neutralizing antibodies was similar towards Omicron BA.2 and WT virus after the third or fourth dose of vaccine. Additional booster doses are recommended for frail patients to enhance the development of a B-cell response against Omicron and/or to enhance the T-cell response in patients treated with anti-CD20.

Maund, Adam Harris, Kuan-Chieh Huang, Victor Poon, Dhruvitkumar S. Sutaria, Howard Gurney

Summary: The combination of ipatasertib and rucaparib showed manageable safety in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, but did not demonstrate synergistic or additive antitumor activity in previously treated patients.

Summary: This study evaluated the maximum tolerated dose of WNT974 in combination with encorafenib and cetuximab in patients with BRAF (V600E)-mutant metastatic colorectal cancer. The results showed a high incidence of adverse events and no evidence of improved anti-tumor activity, leading to study discontinuation.

Summary: This study aimed to provide a gene expression-based classification of extrahepatic and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma by collecting all available public records. Through unsupervised clustering analysis of gene expression data, four subgroups characterized by different immune infiltrate and signaling pathways were identified in both ICC and ECC. Class predictors were developed using short gene list signatures and subgroups of ICC tumors with different prognosis were identified in an independent dataset.

Summary: In 428 patients with HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer, HER2-low status was found to be independently associated with worse progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) compared to HER2-0 status. These findings suggest that HER2-low status could serve as a new prognostic biomarker in this clinical setting.

Summary: The study aims to test the prognostic ability of a novel inflammatory biomarker, the pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV), based on complete blood count (CBC), in patients with advanced triple-negative breast cancer (aNBC) who received first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. The results showed that PIV could serve as a prognostic factor and is associated with the efficacy of chemotherapy.
