Introduction
There is substantial evidence for the oncogenic effects of fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) in many types of cancer, including lung cancer, but the role of this receptor has not been addressed specifically in lung adenocarcinoma.Methods
We performed FGFR1 and EGFR overexpression and co-overexpression assays in adenocarcinoma and in inmortalized lung cell lines, and we also carried out surrogate and interaction assays. We performed monotherapy and combination EGFR/FGFR inhibitor sensitivity assays in vitro and in vivo in cell line– and patient-derived xenografts. We determined FGFR1 mRNA expression in a cohort of patients with anti–EGFR therapy–treated adenocarcinoma.Results
We have reported a cooperative interaction between FGFR1 and EGFR in this context, resulting in increased EGFR activation and oncogenic signaling. We have provided in vitro and in vivo evidence indicating that FGFR1 expression increases tumorigenicity in cells with high EGFR activation in EGFR-mutated and EGFR wild-type models. At the clinical level, we have shown that high FGFR1 expression levels predict higher resistance to erlotinib or gefitinib in a cohort of patients with tyrosine kinase inhibitor–treated EGFR-mutated and EGFR wild-type lung adenocarcinoma. Dual EGFR and FGFR inhibition in FGFR1-overexpressing, EGFR-activated models shows synergistic effects on tumor growth in vitro and in cell line– and patient-derived xenografts, suggesting that patients with tumors bearing these characteristics may benefit from combined EGFR/FGFR inhibition.Conclusion
These results support the extended the use of EGFR inhibitors beyond monotherapy in the EGFR-mutated adenocarcinoma setting in combination with FGFR inhibitors for selected patients with increased FGFR1 overexpression and EGFR activation. 相似文献2.

Introduction
Osimertinib is a third-generation EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). Durvalumab is an anti–programmed death ligand 1 monoclonal antibody. The phase III open-label CAURAL trial (NCT02454933) investigated osimertinib plus durvalumab versus osimertinib monotherapy in patients with EGFR-TKI sensitizing and EGFR T790M mutation–positive advanced NSCLC and disease progression after EGFR-TKI therapy.Methods
Patients were randomly assigned 1:1 to receive orally administered osimertinib (80 mg once daily) with or without durvalumab (10 mg/kg administered intravenously every 2 weeks) until progression. Treatment could continue beyond progression, providing clinical benefit continued (judged by the investigator). The amended primary objective was to assess the safety and tolerability of osimertinib plus durvalumab; efficacy was an exploratory objective.Results
CAURAL recruitment was terminated early because of increased incidence of interstitial lung disease–like events in the osimertinib plus durvalumab arm from the separate phase Ib TATTON trial (NCT02143466). At termination of CAURAL recruitment, 15 patients had been randomly assigned to treatment with osimertinib and 14 to treatment with osimertinib plus durvalumab. The most common AEs were diarrhea (53% [grade ≥3 in 6% of patients]) in the osimertinib arm and rash (67% [grade ≥3 in 0 patients]) in the combination arm. One patient who had been randomized to the combination arm reported grade 2 interstitial lung disease while receiving osimertinib monotherapy (after discontinuing durvalumab therapy after one dose). The objective response rates were 80% in the osimertinib arm and 64% in the combination arm.Conclusion
Limited patient numbers preclude formal safety and efficacy comparisons between the two treatment arms. The combination of programmed cell death 1/programmed death ligand 1 inhibitors and EGFR-TKIs as therapy for NSCLC is not well understood, but it requires a careful approach if considered in the future. 相似文献3.

Introduction
Surgery in SCLC is limited to very early stages, but several reports suggest a potential broader role. Little is known of the influence of microenvironment on the biology of SCLC.Methods
We assessed the clinical prognostic factors in a large series of resected SCLC patients. The prognostic value of programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in tumor cells and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and the percentage of CD3-, CD20-, CD45- and CD68-positive cells, were also investigated.Results
Two hundred five SCLC cases were resected between 2005 and 2015 and the median follow-up was 29 months (range: 2 to 135 months). Median survival of all patients was 69 months, and 5-year survival rates were 63.8%, 65.5%, 34.9%, and 0% for pathologic stages I, II, III, and IV, respectively. By multivariate analysis complete resection, cigarette index, lymph node metastatic rate, percentage of CD3-positive cells, PD-L1 expression in tumor cells, and TILs were independent prognostic factors. High PD-L1 expression was present in 3.2% and 33.5% of all tumor samples in tumor cells and TILs, respectively. High PD-L1 expression in tumor cells or TILs correlated with shorter survival, whereas high expression of CD3, CD20, and CD45 correlated with better survival.Conclusions
Resected stage II SCLC patients have similar survival as stage I, suggesting that surgery could be extended to patients with hilar lymph node involvement. Survival was better in tumors with a higher percentage of T cells and B cells, whereas PD-L1 expression in tumor cells and TILs correlated with worse survival, which suggests a potential role of immunotherapy in resected SCLC. 相似文献4.
Purpose
To assess the pharmacologic costs of second-line treatments for metastatic renal-cell cancer (mRCC).Methods
The present evaluation was restricted to pivotal phase 3 randomized controlled trials in second-line for mRCC. We calculated the pharmacologic costs necessary to get the benefit in progression-free survival and overall survival (OS) for each trial. The costs of drugs are at the pharmacy of our hospital and are expressed in euros.Results
Our analysis evaluated 5 phase 3 randomized controlled trials including 3112 patients. The lowest cost per month of progression-free survival and OS gained was associated with the use of cabozantinib (€2006 and €1473, respectively), while everolimus had the highest cost per month of OS gained (€28,590).Conclusion
Combining pharmacologic costs of drugs with the measure of efficacy represented by OS, cabozantinib is a cost-effective second-line treatments for patients with mRCC. 相似文献5.

Introduction
This phase II study evaluated the efficacy and safety of the pan-cyclin–dependent kinase inhibitor roniciclib with platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with extensive-disease SCLC.Methods
In this randomized, double-blind study, unselected patients with previously untreated extensive-disease SCLC received roniciclib, 5 mg, or placebo twice daily according to a 3 days–on, 4 days–off schedule in 21-day cycles, with concomitant cisplatin or carboplatin on day 1 and etoposide on days 1 to 3. The primary end point was progression-free survival. Other end points included overall survival, objective response rate, and safety.Results
A total of 140 patients received treatment: 70 with roniciclib plus chemotherapy and 70 with placebo plus chemotherapy. Median progression-free survival times was 4.9 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.2–5.5) with roniciclib plus chemotherapy and 5.5 months (95% CI: 4.6–5.6) with placebo plus chemotherapy (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.242, 95% CI: 0.820–1.881, p = 0.8653). Median overall survival times was 9.7 months (95% CI: 7.9–11.1) with roniciclib plus chemotherapy and 10.3 months (95% CI: 8.7–11.9) with placebo plus chemotherapy (HR = 1.281, 95% CI: 0.776–1.912, p = 0.7858). The objective response rates were 60.6% with roniciclib plus chemotherapy and 74.6% with placebo plus chemotherapy. Common treatment-emergent adverse events in both groups included nausea, vomiting, and fatigue. Serious treatment-emergent adverse events were more common with roniciclib plus chemotherapy (57.1%) than with placebo plus chemotherapy (38.6%).Conclusions
Roniciclib combined with chemotherapy demonstrated an unfavorable risk-benefit profile in patients with extensive-disease SCLC, and the study was prematurely terminated. 相似文献6.

Background
The conventional chemotherapy of colorectal cancer with irinotecan, 5-fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin remains one of the front-line treatments worldwide. However, its efficacy is quite low. Recently studies of the epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) have become the focus of investigations into the cause of chemoresistance in several types of cancer, including colorectal cancer. The data about the role of EMT in chemosensitivity are controversial.Materials and Methods
Human colon adenocarcinoma cell lines HT29 and HCT116 and 14 primary short-term cultures established from patient tumors were used. The chemosensitivity to irinotecan, 5-fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin was assessed using the (4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) test. Immunocytochemistry, immunohistochemistry, and Western blot test were used to investigate the E-cadherin expression, the loss of which is a major hallmark of EMT.Results
Elevated chemosensitivity of the cell line with EMT phenotype, HCT116, was demonstrated. Increased chemosensitivity was revealed in HT29 cell line upon EMT induction. E-cadherin–positive short-term cultures were more resistant to all the drugs tested, whereas each of E-cadherin–negative cultures showed sensitivity to at least one drug. The statistically significant dependency of cells viability on the E-cadherin expression (P < .04) was demonstrated on the short-term cultures using 2 concentrations of each drug.Conclusion
The data obtained may serve as a basis for the analysis of colon cancer chemosensitivity using short-term cultures and the assay of E-cadherin expression. 相似文献7.

Introduction
Copanlisib is a phosphoinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor approved for the third-line treatment of follicular non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Although the drug is generally well-tolerated, it can be associated with several unique and potentially serious adverse effects (AEs). Two of the most common toxicities not seen with other PI3K inhibitors include hyperglycemia and hypertension, which primarily occur during infusion and resolve shortly thereafter, and likely relate to targeting the PI3K alpha isoform. Other toxicities less commonly observed with copanlisib than with other approved drugs in this class include non-infectious pneumonitis, infections, diarrhea and colitis, and hepatobiliary toxicity.Materials and Methods
A panel composed of experts in lymphoma, diabetes, and hypertension convened to develop guidance pertaining to the administration of copanlisib and the management of the AEs associated with copanlisib treatment.Results
Recommendations were formulated pertaining to the management of AEs associated with copanlisib treatment, particularly infusion-related hyperglycemia and hypertension, noninfectious pneumonitis, infections, diarrhea, and colitis. The recommendations herein reflect the consensus of the members of this panel, all of whom contributed to these suggested approaches to patient supportive care.Conclusion
There are a number of challenges associated with the use of copanlisib. Infusion-related hypertension and hyperglycemia occur frequently, although they are transient, reversible, and rarely of clinical significance; this report provides guidance as to their management. 相似文献8.

Introduction
Targeted therapies for lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) have improved patient outcomes; however, drug resistance remains a major problem. One strategy to achieve durable response is to develop combination-based therapies that target both mutated oncogenes and key modifiers of oncogene-driven tumorigenesis. This is based on the premise that mutated oncogenes, although necessary, are not sufficient for malignant transformation. We aimed to uncover genetic alterations that cooperate with mutant EGFR during LUAD development.Methods
We performed integrative genomic analyses, combining copy number, gene expression and mutational information for over 500 LUAD tumors. Co-immunoprecipitation and Western blot analysis were performed in LUAD cell lines to confirm candidate interactions while RNA interference and gene overexpression were used for in vitro and in vivo functional assessment.Results
We identified frequent amplifications/deletions of chromosomal regions affecting the activity of genes specifically in the context of EGFR mutation, including amplification of the mutant EGFR allele and deletion of dual specificity phosphatase 4 (DUSP4), which have both previously been reported. In addition, we identified the novel amplification of a segment of chromosome arm 16p in mutant-EGFR tumors corresponding to increased expression of Golgi Associated, Gamma Adaptin Ear Containing, ARF Binding Protein 2 (GGA2), which functions in protein trafficking and sorting. We found that GGA2 interacts with EGFR, increases EGFR protein levels and modifies EGFR degradation after ligand stimulation. Furthermore, we show that overexpression of GGA2 enhances EGFR mediated transformation while GGA2 knockdown reduces the colony and tumor forming ability of EGFR mutant LUAD.Conclusions
These data suggest that overexpression of GGA2 in LUAD tumors results in the accumulation of EGFR protein and increased EGFR signaling, which helps drive tumor progression. Thus, GGA2 plays a cooperative role with EGFR during LUAD development and is a potential therapeutic target for combination-based strategies in LUAD. 相似文献9.

Aims
To obtain an overview of the management and outcomes of children aged 18 years or younger diagnosed with differentiated thyroid carcinoma of follicular cell origin across the UK, by collecting and analysing data from the limited number of centres treating these patients. This multicentre data might provide a more realistic perspective than single-institution series.Materials and methods
Six centres submitted data extracted from historical records on patients aged 18 years or younger, diagnosed between 1964 and 2017. The univariate and multivariable Cox proportional hazard model was used to identify potential predictors of progression-free survival, using national data as a control.Results
Data on 166 patients were available for analysis. Females (74%) were predominant, and the age ranged from 3 to 19 years at diagnosis, mean 14.1 years. Nodal metastases were present in 51%; 12% had distant metastases. After surgery, 95% received radioactive iodine (39% on more than one occasion) and 4% received external beam radiotherapy. With a median follow-up duration of 5 years, 69% are alive with no evidence of disease; 20% are alive with a raised thyroglobulin level as the only evidence of residual disease; 6% have residual structural disease detectable on imaging; 2% have died, from cerebral metastases.Conclusion
Despite most patients having advanced disease at presentation, outcomes are very good. A national prospective registry should allow systematic collection of good-quality data and may facilitate research to further improve outcomes. 相似文献10.

Introduction
Histologic transformation from NSCLC to SCLC is a mechanism of resistance in EGFR-mutant tumors but is also occasionally observed in nonmutated NSCLC.Methods
We performed a multicenter retrospective collection of cases presenting between 2005 and 2017. The objectives were to analyze survival data and to define epidemiologic, clinical, treatment and histomolecular characteristics at both the time of diagnosis of NSCLC and of SCLC.Results
Forty-eight EGFR-mutant NSCLC and 13 non–EGFR-mutant cases were registered. Most EGFR-mutant tumors retained the same EGFR mutation after transformation. The median time to SCLC transformation was shorter in the EGFR-mutant group than in non-EFGR mutants (16 months versus 26 months (p = 0.01)). Both tumors were responsive to platinum etoposide regimens (45% partial response for the EGFR-mutant group versus 40% for non-EFGR mutants). The median overall survival rates were 28 months in the EGFR-mutant group versus 37 months in the non–EFGR-mutant group, respectively. After transformation, the median overall survival was 9 months in the non–EGFR-mutant group versus 10 months in the EGFR-mutant group.Conclusions
Transformation into SCLC seems to occur more quickly in EGFR mutated tumors; however, once the tumor is transformed its survival and response to treatment seems comparable to that of classical SCLC. 相似文献11.

Introduction
Anti-EGFR agents are standard treatments for patients with EGFR-mutant advanced NSCLC. The feasibility of combining erlotinib or gefitinib with the anti–programmed death 1 immunotherapy pembrolizumab was evaluated in the phase 1/2 KEYNOTE-021 study (NCT02039674).Methods
Adults with previously untreated stage IIIB/IV EGFR-mutant NSCLC were treated with pembrolizumab 2 mg/kg intravenously every 3 weeks plus oral erlotinib 150 mg daily in cohort E or oral gefitinib 250 mg daily in cohort F, using a 3 + 3 design with cohort expansion. rTumor response was evaluated per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 by blinded independent central review. The primary objective was determination of a recommended phase 2 dose.Results
Twelve patients enrolled to receive pembrolizumab plus erlotinib and seven to receive pembrolizumab plus gefitinib. No dose-limiting toxicities or grade 5 events occurred. Pembrolizumab plus erlotinib was feasible, with adverse events similar to those expected for monotherapy. However, pembrolizumab plus gefitinib was not feasible due to grade 3/4 liver toxicity in five of seven patients (71.4%), leading to permanent treatment discontinuation in four patients. The most frequently occurring treatment-related adverse events with pembrolizumab plus erlotinib were rash (50.0%), dermatitis acneiform, diarrhea, hypothyroidism, and pruritus (33.3% each). The objective response rate was 41.7%, including response in all four patients with programmed death ligand 1 expression 50% or greater.Conclusions
Although pembrolizumab plus gefitinib was not feasible, the toxicity profile observed with pembrolizumab plus erlotinib suggests combining immunotherapy with anti-EGFR therapy is feasible. Pembrolizumab plus erlotinib did not improve objective response rate compared with previous monotherapy studies; further evaluation would be necessary to evaluate potential effects on other efficacy outcomes. 相似文献12.

Background
Programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) is a potential predictive biomarker for immunotherapy in several malignancies. However, the expression level and clinical significance of PD-L1 in von Hippel–Lindau (VHL)-associated hereditary clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) remain unclear.Patients and Methods
Surgical specimens were recruited from 129 patients with sporadic ccRCC and 26 patients with VHL-associated hereditary ccRCC. The PD-L1 expression level was assessed using immunohistochemistry. Correlations between PD-L1 expression and clinicopathological features were analyzed.Results
In sporadic ccRCC, the positive expression rate of PD-L1 was 47.3% (61/129). Positive PD-L1 expression was correlated with advanced tumor T stage (P = .011), higher Fuhrman nuclear grade (P = .022), poor disease-free survival (P = .037), and sex (P = .025). In the VHL-associated hereditary ccRCC, positive PD-L1 expression rate was 34.6% (9/26), lower than that in sporadic ccRCC. Positive PD-L1 was correlated with higher Fuhrman nuclear grade (P = .008), but not with sex, age, tumor stage, or the onset age of VHL-associated tumors.Conclusion
Positive PD-L1 expression was correlated with the aggressive clinicopathological features in sporadic and VHL-associated hereditary ccRCC. Whether PD-L1 expression level in ccRCC is related to the effectiveness of programmed death-1/PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy needs to be further investigated. 相似文献13.

Background
Colon cancer is the third most frequent cancer diagnosis, and primary payer status has been shown to be associated with treatment modalities and survival in cancer patients. The goal of our study was to determine the between-insurance differences in survival in patients with clinical stage III colon cancer using data from the National Cancer Database (NCDB).Materials and Methods
We identified 130,998 patients with clinical stage III colon cancer in the NCDB diagnosed from 2004 to 2012. Kaplan-Meier curves and multivariable Cox regression models were used to determine the association between insurance status and survival.Results
Patients with private insurance plans were 28%, 30%, and 16% less likely to die than were uninsured patients, Medicaid recipients, and Medicare beneficiaries, respectively. Medicare patients were 14% were less likely to die compared with uninsured patients. Patients receiving chemotherapy were, on average, 65% less likely to die compared with the patients not receiving chemotherapy.Conclusion
Private insurance and a greater socioeconomic status were associated with increased patient survival compared with other insurance plans or the lack of insurance. Future research should continue to unravel how socioeconomic status and insurance status contribute to the quality of care and survival of oncologic patients. 相似文献14.

Background
Cardiovascular events (CVEs) have been observed in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia treated with second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors.Patients and Methods
We retrospectively evaluated the incidence of CVEs on 233 consecutive patients with chronic myeloid leukemia, of which 116 were treated with imatinib, 75 with dasatinib, and 42 with nilotinib. The median follow-up was 2047, 1712, and 1773 days, respectively.Results
The cumulative incidence of CVEs was 4.29%. Three events occurred during dasatinib treatment, 6 during nilotinib treatment, and none during imatinib treatment (P ≤ .001). Arterial occlusive events occurred in 2 (2.6%) of 75 patients treated with dasatinib and in 6 (14.2%) of 42 patients treated with nilotinib (P ≤ .001). Furthermore, all of them occurred in patients with high-risk (n = 2) and very high-risk (n = 6) cardiovascular risk, contributing to 4.3% of mortality.Conclusion
CVEs were more frequent in patients treated with second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Arterial occlusive events were more frequent in patients treated with nilotinib, with high and very high cardiovascular risk. 相似文献15.

Introduction
Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer in women, and the incidence of brain metastasis (BM) from BC ranges from 20% to 30%, with a median survival of 10 to 15 months. Previous reports have shown that the presence of obesity or diabetes negatively impacts survival. The present study investigates the association between obesity or diabetes mellitus (DM) and overall survival of patients with BC with BM.Materials and Methods
A database from 2 referral centers for the period of July 2014 to February 2018 was analyzed. The inclusion criteria were as follows: patients who had a confirmed diagnosis of BC with BM were followed and treated at these centers. Demographic data, body weight and height, clinical and oncologic history, functional status, prognostic scales, and prognoses were examined.Results
A total of 228 patients were included. The median age at BM was 50 years; the median survival after diagnosis was 12.1 months; 108 patients had a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25, and 40 (17%) patients had DM. The association between survival and the presence of BMI > 25 exhibited a P value of 0.3.Discussion
We found no association between overweight, obesity, or DM and survival in patients with BC with BM. The role of obesity in cancer is a robust research topic, as there are many questions to be answered.Conclusion
Obesity as a prognostic indicator should be further studied, because we found no association between overall survival and either patients with BM from BC with a BMI > 25 or those with normal weight. 相似文献16.

Introduction
This randomized phase II trial aimed at evaluating the engineered programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) antibody atezolizumab in SCLC progressing after first-line platinum–etoposide chemotherapy.Methods
Patients were randomized 2:1 to atezolizumab (1200 mg intravenously every 3 weeks) until progression or unacceptable toxicity, or conventional chemotherapy (up to 6 cycles of topotecan or re-induction of initial chemotherapy). Patients were not selected based on PD-L1 tissue expression. The primary endpoint was objective response rate at 6 weeks. A two-stage design with 2:1 randomization and O’Brien-Fleming stopping rules was used. The null hypothesis was rejected if more than 12 of 45 patients were responders.Results
Overall, 73 patients were randomized (atezolizumab n = 49; chemotherapy n = 24). At 6 weeks, 1 of 43 eligible atezolizumab patients achieved an objective response (2.3%, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.0–6.8), whereas 8 others had stable disease (20.9% disease control rate; 95% CI: 8.8–33.1). Among eligible chemotherapy patients (n = 20), 10% achieved an objective response (65% disease control rate). Median progression-free survival was 1.4 months (95% CI: 1.2–1.5) with atezolizumab and 4.3 months (95% CI: 1.5–5.9) with chemotherapy. Overall survival did not significantly differ between groups. Median overall survival was 9.5 months versus 8.7 months for the atezolizumab and the chemotherapy group, respectively (adjusted hazard ratioatezolizumab : 0.84, 95% CI: 0.45–1.58; p = 0.60). Two atezolizumab patients (4.2%) experienced grade 3 fatigue, and two others grade 1 dysthyroidism. Among 53 evaluable specimens, only 1 (2%) had positive immunohistochemical PD-L1 staining (SP142 clone).Conclusions
Atezolizumab monotherapy in relapsed SCLC failed to show significant efficacy. No unexpected safety concerns were observed. 相似文献17.

Introduction
Immunotherapy has revolutionized the treatment of NSCLC, but little is known about the activity of programmed cell death 1 and programmed death ligand 1 blockade across age groups.Methods
We retrospectively evaluated patients with NSCLC who initiated programmed cell death 1 and programmed death ligand 1 inhibitors from January 2013 through July 2017. Medical records and radiographic imaging were reviewed to determine progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). We also compared immunotherapy-related toxicities, steroid use, and hospitalizations by age.Results
Of the 245 patients, 26.1% were younger than 60 years, 31.4% were age 60 to 69 years, 31.0% were age 70 to 79 years, and 11.4% were age 80 years or older. The median PFS times by age group were as follows: younger than 60 years, 1.81 months; age 60 to 69 years, 2.53 months; age 70 to 79 years, 3.75 months; and age 80 years or older, 1.64 months (log-rank p value = 0.055). The median OS times by age group were as follows: younger than 60 years, 13.01 months; age 60 to 69 years, 14.56 months; age 70 to 79 years, 12.92 months; and age 80 years or older, 3.62 months (log-rank p value = 0.011). Rates of immunotherapy-related toxicities, steroid use, and hospitalizations did not differ by age.Conclusions
Although the OS and PFS benefits of immunotherapy differ by age, the rates of toxicity are similar regardless of age. 相似文献18.

Introduction
The study objective was to determine the incidence and characteristics of drug-induced interstitial lung disease (ILD) associated with an orally available small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor, crizotinib, in a real-world clinical setting.Methods
Post-marketing surveillance was performed in Japan to obtain information on the safety and efficacy of crizotinib. Target patients included all patients with anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive NSCLC who received crizotinib during the enrollment period between May 2012 and December 2014. The observation period was 52 weeks. Expert analysis of the ILD incidence was performed by an ILD independent review committee composed of five medical specialists.Results
The safety analysis set included 2028 patients, and more than half of the patients (56.4%) were nonsmokers. The incidence of ILD associated with crizotinib therapy was 5.77%; and 3.45% patients showed grade 3 or greater. Pulmonary edema-like shadows with or without diffuse alveolar damage pattern were observed in crizotinib-associated ILD (incidence: 0.39%), but a causal relationship with the prognosis could not be identified. ILD developed within 4 weeks from initiation of crizotinib administration in 41.9% and within 8 weeks in 69.2% of the patients. Age 55 years or older, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 2-4, smoking history, previous or concomitant ILD, and comorbid pleural effusion were statistically determined as significant risk factors for crizotinib-induced ILD.Conclusions
Crizotinib therapy should be applied to the NSCLC patients with any of above risk factors under a cautious monitoring for ILD occurrence, and clinicians should pay attention to the risks of severe ILD. 相似文献19.

Introduction
Clinical variables describing the natural history and longitudinal therapy outcomes of stage IV anaplastic lymphoma kinase gene rearrangement positive (ALK-positive) NSCLC and their relationship with long-term overall survival (OS) have not previously been described in detail.Methods
Patients with stage IV NSCLC treated with an ALK inhibitor at the University of Colorado Cancer Center from 2009 through November 2017 were identified retrospectively. OS curves were constructed by using Kaplan-Meier methods. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis was used to determine the relationship of variables with OS.Results
Of the 110 patients with ALK-positive NSCLC who were identified, 105 received crizotinib as their initial ALK inhibitor. With a median follow-up time of 47 months, the median OS time from diagnosis of stage IV disease was 81 months (6.8 years). Brain metastases at diagnosis of stage IV disease (hazard ratio = 1.01, p = 0.971) and year of stage IV presentation (p = 0.887) did not influence OS. More organs with tumor at diagnosis of stage IV disease was associated with worse OS (HR = 1.49 for each additional organ with disease, including the CNS [p = 0.002]). Each additional month of pemetrexed-based therapy was associated with a 7% relative decrease in risk of death.Conclusion
Patients with stage IV ALK-positive NSCLC can have prolonged OS. Brain metastases at diagnosis of stage IV disease does not influence OS. Having more organs involved with tumor at stage IV presentation is associated with worse outcomes. Prolonged benefit from pemetrexed is associated with better outcomes. 相似文献20.
