    Abstract Background: The use of PARP inhibitor (PARPi) has shown a considerable benefit in progression-free survival (PFS) in relapsed, platinum-sensitive epithelial ovarian cancer (OC).
    Objective: Our study aimed to investigate the impact of the last platinum-based chemotherapy treatment in response to PARPi.
    Design: Retrospective cohort study.
    Patients and methods: The study involved 96 consecutive, pretreated, platinum-sensitive advanced OC patients. Demographics and clinical data were retrieved from clinical records. PFS and overall survival (OS) were calculated from the start of PARPi.
    Results: Germline BRCA mutation was investigated in all cases. Platinum-based chemotherapy before PARPi maintenance therapy included pegylated liposomal doxorubicin-oxaliplatin (PLD-Ox) in 46 patients (48%) and other platinum-based chemotherapy in 50 patients (52%). During a median follow-up of 22 months from the beginning of PARPi therapy, 57 patients relapsed (median PFS: 12 months) and 64 patients died (median OS: 23 months). During multivariable analysis, receiving PLD-Ox before PARPi was associated with improved PFS [hazard ratio (HR): 0.46, 95% CI: 0.26-0.82] and OS (HR: 0.48, 95% CI: 0.27-0.83). In 36 BRCA-mutated patients, PLD-Ox was associated with improved PFS (2-year PFS: 70.0%
    Conclusion: Receiving PLD-Ox before PARPi may improve prognosis in platinum-sensitive advanced OC patients and may provide advantages in the BRCA-mutated subgroup.

    Abstract Introduction: Controversy remains as to whether pathologic complete response (pCR) and major pathologic response (MPR) represent surrogate end points for event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) in neoadjuvant trials for resectable NSCLC.
    Methods: A search of PubMed and archives of international conference abstracts was performed from June 2017 through October 31, 2023. Studies incorporating a neoadjuvant arm with immune checkpoint blockade alone or in combination with chemotherapy were included. Those not providing information regarding pCR, MPR, EFS, or OS were excluded. For trial-level surrogacy, log ORs for pCR and MPR and log hazard ratios for EFS and OS were analyzed using a linear regression model weighted by sample size. The regression coefficient and R
    Results: Seven randomized clinical trials were identified for a total of 2385 patients. At the patient level, the R
    Conclusions: Our analyses reveal a robust correlation between pCR and MPR with 2-year EFS but not OS. Trial-level surrogacy was moderate but imprecise. More mature follow-up and data to assess the impact of study crossover are needed.

    Abstract Even though cancer patients are generally considered more susceptible to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, the mechanisms driving their predisposition to severe forms of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have not yet been deciphered. Since metabolic disorders are associated with homeostatic frailty, which increases the risk of infection and cancer, we asked whether we could identify immunometabolic pathways intersecting with cancer and SARS-CoV-2 infection. Thanks to a combined flow cytometry and multiomics approach, here we show that the immunometabolic traits of COVID-19 cancer patients encompass alterations in the frequency and activation status of circulating myeloid and lymphoid subsets, and that these changes are associated with i) depletion of tryptophan and its related neuromediator tryptamine, ii) accumulation of immunosuppressive tryptophan metabolites (i.e., kynurenines), and iii) low nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD

    Abstract Numerous clinical trials investigating neoadjuvant immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have been performed over the last 5 years. As the number of neoadjuvant trials increases, attention must be paid to identifying informative trial endpoints. Complete pathologic response has been shown to be an appropriate surrogate endpoint for clinical outcomes, such as event-free survival or overall survival, in breast cancer and bladder cancer, but it is less established for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The simultaneous advances reported with adjuvant ICI make the optimal strategy for early-stage disease debatable. Considering the long time required to conduct trials, it is important to identify optimal endpoints and discover surrogate endpoints for survival that can help guide ongoing clinical research. Endpoints can be grouped into two categories: medical and surgical. Medical endpoints are measures of survival and drug activity; surgical endpoints describe the feasibility of neoadjuvant approaches at a surgical level as well as perioperative attrition and complications. There are also several exploratory endpoints, including circulating tumor DNA clearance and radiomics. In this review, we outline the advantages and disadvantages of commonly reported endpoints for clinical trials of neoadjuvant regimens in NSCLC.

    Abstract Despite the fact that reactivation of specific antitumor immunity through inhibition of immune checkpoints represents a formidable therapeutic weapon against cancer, many patients are poorly reactive to this treatment. To overcome this limitation, efforts are being made to characterize the immunostimulatory properties of chemotherapeutic agents and how they can be best combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors. The work by Wanderley and colleagues indicates that the TLR4 agonist taxol can restore the anticancer activity of tumor-associated macrophages and improve the clinical efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors.
