These patients may benefit from more effective and less toxic therapies.ObjectiveTo evaluate the safety, immunogenicity, and preliminary efficacy of intratumoral (IT) delivery of conventional type 1 dendritic cells (cDC1) in combination with <jats:italic>ERBB2</jats:italic>-targeted therapies.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis phase 1 (lead-in phase of a single-center phase 2 trial) nonrandomized clinical trial was conducted at Moffitt Cancer Center (Tampa, Florida). Patients were enrolled from October 2021 to October 2022. Data were analyzed in 2023 Patients with early-stage <jats:italic>ERBB2</jats:italic>-positive breast cancer with tumors 1 cm or larger were eligible.InterventionsTreatment included IT delivery of cDC1, 6 times weekly, followed by paclitaxel, 80 mg/m<jats:sup>2</jats:sup>, intravenously, 12 times weekly. Trastuzumab (8 mg/kg loading dose, then 6 mg/kg) and pertuzumab (840 mg loading dose, then 420 mg) were administered intravenously every 3 weeks for 6 cycles starting from day 1 of cDC1 injections. Two dose levels (DLs) of IT cDC1 (DL1 = 50 million and DL2 = 100 million cells) were evaluated, including 6 patients in each DL.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary outcomes were the safety and immune response, and the secondary outcomes were the antitumor efficacy as measured by breast magnetic resonance imaging and residual cancer burden at surgery following neoadjuvant therapy.ResultsTwelve <jats:italic>ERBB2</jats:italic>-positive patients were enrolled and received treatment (DL1 = 6 and DL2 = 6). Nine patients had hormone receptor–positive disease and 3 had hormone receptor–negative disease, with clinical stage I (n = 5), II (n = 4), and III (n = 3). The most frequently observed adverse events with cDC1 were grade 1 to 2 chills (50%), fatigue (41.7%), headache (33%), and injection site reactions (33%). DL2 was associated with a diminished anti-<jats:italic>ERBB2</jats:italic> CD4 T-helper 1 blood response with a concomitant increase in innate and adaptive responses within the tumor. Preimmunotherapy and postimmunotherapy breast magnetic resonance imaging results showed 9 objective responses, 6 partial responses, 3 complete responses, and 3 stable diseases. Following surgery, 7 patients had a pathologic complete response.Conclusions and RelevanceIn this nonrandomized clinical trial, the addition of IT cDC1 and trastuzumab/pertuzumab before neoadjuvant chemotherapy was well tolerated with manageable adverse effects.

Model inputs were based on national data on risk factors, cancer incidence, cancer survival, and mortality due to other causes, and dissemination and effects of prevention, screening (for interception and early detection), and treatment. Simulated or modeled data using parameters derived from multiple birth cohorts of the US population were used.InterventionsPrimary prevention via smoking reduction (lung), screening for interception (cervix and colorectal) or early detection (breast, cervix, colorectal, and prostate), and therapy (breast, colorectal, lung, and prostate).Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe estimated cumulative number of cancer deaths averted with interventions vs no advances.ResultsAn estimated 5.94 million cancer deaths were averted for breast, cervical, colorectal, lung, and prostate cancers combined. Cancer prevention and screening efforts averted 8 of 10 of these deaths (4.75 million averted deaths). The contribution of each intervention varied by cancer site. Screening accounted for 25% of breast cancer deaths averted. Averted cervical cancer deaths were nearly completely averted through screening and removal of cancer precursors as treatment advances were modest during the study period. Averted colorectal cancer deaths were averted because of screening and removal of precancerous polyps or early detection in 79% and treatment advances in 21%. Most lung cancer deaths were avoided by smoking reduction (98%) because screening uptake was low and treatment largely palliative before 2014. Screening contributed to 56% of averted prostate cancer deaths.Conclusions and RelevanceOver the past 45 years, cancer prevention and screening accounted for most cancer deaths averted for these causes; however, their contribution varied by cancer site according to these models using population-level cancer mortality data. Despite progress, efforts to reduce the US cancer burden will require increased dissemination of effective interventions and new technologies and discoveries.","PeriodicalId":14850,"journal":{"name":"JAMA Oncology","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":28.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142782391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Eligible patients had histologically or cytologically confirmed ES-SCLC without previous systemic antitumor therapy for ES-SCLC. Data were analyzed between May 6, 2023, and June 1, 2024.InterventionsPatients were randomized (1:1) to receive toripalimab, 240 mg, or placebo plus EP every 3 weeks for up to 4 to 6 cycles, followed by maintenance with toripalimab or placebo until disease progression, intolerable toxic effects, or up to 2 years of treatment.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary end points were investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Whole-exome sequencing results identified correlative biomarkers for clinical efficacy.ResultsAmong 595 screened patients, 442 eligible patients were randomized (median [range] age, 63 [30-77] years; 366 [82.8%] male); 223 patients were randomized to toripalimab plus EP, and 219 to placebo plus EP. By April 20, 2023, the median (range) survival follow-up was 13.7 (0.0-42.7) months.

As infrastructure for cancer care rapidly develops, there is an urgent need to reduce prices and improve access to cancer medicines in LMICs to advance pharmacoequity globally.ObservationsPrior strategies to expand access to cancer medicines in LMICs have primarily relied on charity or differential pricing and have yielded limited results. Policymakers at the World Health Assembly recently proposed several strategies to increase global access to cancer drugs. Reviewing empirical data and lessons learned from medication access programs for HIV, COVID-19, and other infectious diseases, 3 strategies that multilateral organizations can use to reduce prices of cancer drugs in LMICs are discussed herein. These include (1) building regional technology transfer and manufacturing hubs, (2) expanding and streamlining use of compulsory licenses, and (3) implementing global standards for drug price transparency. Counterpoints to the critiques of these policies are critiqued and how programs can use these strategies to build on existing disease-centered initiatives is discussed.Conclusions and RelevanceLessons learned from the global response to HIV and COVID-19 show that international collaboration and support from the World Health and Trade Organizations can ensure a unified, coordinated agenda for advancing access to care in LMICs. Building on these lessons and implementing similar approaches for cancer drugs can play a critical role in expanding accessibility and affordability of cancer medicines in LMICs. With a growing burden of cancer morbidity and mortality in LMICs, redoubled efforts to deliver essential cancer medications to LMICs would have an immense impact on global cancer control and achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.","PeriodicalId":14850,"journal":{"name":"JAMA Oncology","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":28.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142610292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This analysis included patients with PCA who had been treated with prostatectomy or radiotherapy compared with an untreated control group. Multivariable Cox regression was used, with a time-varying covariate for the occurrence of PCA treatment, adjusted for age, race, and year of time-at-risk initiation, and stratified by study and intervention arm. Data analyses were performed from September 21, 2022, to March 18, 2024.ExposureProstatectomy and radiotherapy occurring after a PCA diagnosis, identified from trial data or Medicare claims records.Main Outcomes and MeasuresTen potential PCA treatment-related complications identified from Medicare claims data.ResultsThe study sample comprised 29 196 participants (mean [SD] age at time-at-risk initiation, 68.7 [4.8] years). Of these, 3946 participants had PCA, among whom 655 were treated with prostatectomy and 1056 with radiotherapy.
