#TME in #NSCLC shapes therapy resistance and progression - a tumor can have two immune niches: rich and poor - more than immune cells: CAFs, TAMs, DCs, T, NK.. - patient-specific determinants modulate the TME 🔍emerging technologies www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Promising signals from the ALEK-B ph 2 trial: combining alectinib w bevacizumab achieved 97.1% 12-mo PFS & median PFS of 39.6 months in ALK+ #NSCLC. Intracranial control also notably strong. Could this combo help overcome resistance in more aggressive ALK variants? #research #lungcancer
The article titled "Alectinib in combination with bevacizumab as first-line treatment in ALK-rearranged non-small cell lung cancer (ALEK-B): a single-arm, phase 2 trial" presents findings from a clinical study evaluating the efficacy and safety of combining alectinib, an ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor, with bevacizumab, an anti-angiogenic agent, in treating advanced ALK-rearranged non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Nature

Here are five key takeaways from the study:

Enhanced Progression-Free Survival (PFS): The combination therapy achieved a 12-month PFS rate of 97.1% and a 36-month PFS rate of 64.2%, indicating a potential improvement over historical data for alectinib monotherapy. 
Nature

High Overall Response Rate (ORR): All 41 patients in the study responded to the treatment, with 87.8% achieving partial responses and 12.2% achieving complete responses, resulting in a 100% ORR. 
Nature

Intracranial Efficacy: The therapy demonstrated significant activity in the central nervous system, with a 36-month intracranial PFS rate of 87.8%, suggesting effectiveness in preventing or delaying brain metastases. 
Nature

Manageable Safety Profile: While 46.3% of patients experienced grade 3–4 adverse events, including proteinuria and hepatotoxicity, no fatal events were reported, and quality of life improved over the course of treatment. 
Nature

Need for Further Research: The promising results support the rationale for conducting randomized controlled trials to compare this combination therapy directly with existing standard treatments and to further assess its benefits and risks. 
Nature

These findings suggest that the combination of alectinib and bevacizumab may offer a potent first-line treatment option for patients with advanced ALK-rearranged NSCLC, warranting further investigation in larger, randomized studies

📰EGFR-TKI resistance in LUAD isn’t always genetic. - 39 pts-derived organoids - 50% resistant organoids had no know res mutations. A “basal-shift” phenotype drives res via NKX2-1 loss. - Knockout of NKX2-1 → basal-shift + Osim res - These tumors often lose CDKN2A/B pbs.twimg.com/media/Gq6QwX...
