    Abstract The advent of immunotherapy has transformed the treatment paradigm for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In the past few years, several studies have investigated the potential role of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in resectable and unresectable locally advanced disease, achieving remarkable results that led to their approval in clinical practice. However, there is limited evidence on immunotherapy rechallenge after recurrence, with the majority of available knowledge coming from retrospective studies which involve heavily pretreated patients with advanced NSCLC. The recent introduction in the curative setting and the potential regulatory restrictions raise questions about the optimal choice of first-line and subsequent therapies for patients with systemic relapse. The role of immunotherapy readministration in this new scenario needs to be clarified, as well as the identification of patients for whom it is more appropriate, including clinical characteristics, duration of response, switching to other ICIs, reasons for discontinuation and immune-related toxicity. Here, we review literature on rechallenge with immunotherapy, including efficacy, safety profile and potential predictive factors of response.

    Abstract Introduction: In the current study, we aimed to assess the impact of antibiotics (ATB) and metabolic parameters on clinical outcome of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI).
    Methods: Data from fifty NSCLC patients referred for ICI between December 2015 and May 2019 were analyzed. All patients underwent 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) and contrast-enhanced CT at baseline and for response assessment after 6-8 weeks. Patients who received ATB within 1 month before or after the first dose of ICI were compared with those who did not. Response assessment according to iRECIST and EORTC was evaluated, as well as progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). For semi-quantitative parameters, we computed metabolic tumor volume (MTV), total lesion glycolysis (TLG) and their variations (∆).
    Results: Twenty NSCLC cases of 50 (40%) had received ATB. Patients receiving ATB had a higher number of metastases (
    Conclusions: ATB therapy seems to be associated with a worse treatment response, PFS, and higher metabolic tumor burden in NSCLC patients treated with ICI.

    Abstract Small-cell lung cancer is an extremely chemo-sensitive disease; the addition of immunotherapy to chemotherapy has demonstrated a slight clinical benefit in pivotal trials, even with a statistically significant difference in terms of survival outcomes when compared to chemotherapy alone. In this scenario, the role of radiotherapy as a consolidation treatment in thoracic disease or as a prophylactic therapy in the brain should be clarified. In addition, due to the frailty and the poor prognostic characteristics of these patients, the need for predictive biomarkers that could support the use of immunotherapy is crucial. PD-L1 and TMB are not actually considered definitive biomarkers due to the heterogeneity of results in the literature. A new molecular classification of small-cell lung cancer based on the expression of key transcription factors seems to clarify the disease behavior, but the knowledge of this molecular subtype is still insufficient and the application in clinical practice far from reality; this classification could lead to a better understanding of SCLC disease and could provide the right direction for more personalized treatment. The aim of this review is to investigate the current knowledge in this field, evaluating whether there are predictive biomarkers and clinical patient characteristics that could help us to identify those patients who are more likely to respond to immunotherapy.

    Abstract We investigated the role of soluble PD-L1 (sPD-L1) in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) and analyzed its association with clinical outcomes and metabolic parameters by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG-PET/CT). Between July 2017 and May 2019, we enrolled 20 candidate patients of ICI therapy who had serum frozen samples and 18F-FDG PET/CT available, both at baseline and at the first response evaluation. This analysis is embedded into a larger prospective study (NCT03563482). Twelve out of 20 patients received nivolumab, one patient received combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab, whereas the others received pembrolizumab. Median sPD-L1 level at baseline was 27.22 pg/mL. We found a significant association between patients with elevated sPD-L1, above the median value, and high metabolic tumor burden, expressed by metabolic tumor volume (MTV, 115.3 vs. 35.5,

    Abstract Purpose: This prospective study evaluated whether peripheral blood biomarkers and metabolic parameters on F-18 fludeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F-18 FDG PET/CT) could be associated with clinical outcome in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI).
    Methods: Data from 33 patients with NSCLC and treated with ICI were collected. Complete blood cell counts before and at the first restaging were measured. All patients underwent F-18 FDG PET/CT at baseline, while 25 patients at the first restaging. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were determined and compared using the Kaplan-Meier and the log-rank test. The median follow-up was 11.3 months (range 1-17 months).
    Results: Multivariate analyses demonstrated that low neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR < 4.9) and low total lesion glycolysis (TLG < 541.5 ml) at the first restaging were significantly associated with PFS (both p = 0.019) and OS (p = 0.001 and p = 0.048, respectively). An immune-metabolic-prognostic index (IMPI), based on post-NLR and post-TLG was developed, categorizing 3 groups: high risk, 2 factors; intermediate risk, 1 factor; low risk, 0 factors. Median PFS for low, intermediate and high risk was 7.8 months (95% CI 4.6-11.0), 5.6 months (95% CI 3.8-7.4), and 1.8 months (95% CI 1.6-2.0) (p < 0.001) respectively. Likewise, median OS was 15.2 months (95% CI 10.9-19.6), 13.2 months (95% CI 5.9-20.3), and 2.8 months (95% CI 1.4-4.2) (p < 0.001), respectively.
    Conclusion: IMPI at the first restaging, combining both inflammatory and metabolic biomarkers, was correlated with PFS and OS. IMPI can be a potentially valuable tool for identifying NSCLC patients who are likely to benefit from ICI.

    Abstract The treatment algorithm of advanced non-small-cell lung cancer is rapidly evolving. This result is mostly related to the availability in clinical practice of checkpoint inhibitors targeting the programmed death-1 (PD-1) and its ligands (PD-Ls) immunosuppressive pathway. Although patient's selection in the first-line setting relies essentially on high levels of PD-L1 tumor expression, treatment choice in pretreated patients is more challenging and, although clinical and biological characteristics might be of help, there is an urgent need for novel tools to better identify sensitive and resistant patients. In this context, the integration of molecular markers and immune-PET imaging might represent a potentially effective strategy to refine patient selection.
