RET fusion has emerged as a targetable driver in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A comparative analysis on RET fusions at DNA (DNA-seq) and RNA (RNA-seq) levels was performed in this...


Conclusion/Relevance: RET fusion has emerged as a targetable driver in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A comparative analysis on RET fusions at DNA (DNA-seq) and RNA (RNA-seq) levels was performed in this study.

Efficacy and safety of ramucirumab and docetaxel in previously treated patients with squamous cell lung cancer: a multicenter retrospective cohort study - Investigational New Drugs

Efficacy and safety of ramucirumab and docetaxel in previously treated patients with squamous cell lung cancer: a multicenter retrospective cohort study - Investigational New Drugs

Source : https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10637-022-01214-w

Objective. Ramucirumab plus docetaxel (RAM/DOC) therapy is currently the standard for previously treated advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), irrespective of histology. However, in the clinical trial, only the first-line...


Conclusions: For previously treated patients with Sq, the efficacy and safety of RAM/DOC therapy were confirmed in a real-world setting and were similar to non-Sq.

A significant proportion of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients experience accumulating chemotherapy-related adverse events, motivating the design of chemosensitizating strategies. The main cytotoxic damage induced by chemotherapeutic agents is...


Conlcusion/Relevance: The present study provides a theoretical basis for the use of M3814 in combination with paclitaxel and etoposide in clinical practice, with hope to aid the optimization of NSCLC treatment.

Conclusion/Relevance: We demonstrated that 68% of resistance mutations reproducibly detected in clinical cases were also found in Ba/F3 models. In addition, sensitivity data generated with Ba/F3 models correlated well with clinical responses to each drug. Ba/F3 models is useful to comprehensively identify potential mutations that induce...
