However, in lung cancer, two phase 3 trials on TROP2-ADCs in unselected patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have both failed. Sacituzumab tirumotecan (sac-TMT) is a novel TROP2-directed ADC. Here we report the efficacy and safety of sac-TMT in previously treated, advanced NSCLC with or without activating <i>EGFR</i> mutations from the phase 1/2 KL264-01 and phase 2 SKB264-II-08 studies. Primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR). KL264-01 enrolled <i>EGFR</i>-wild-type and <i>EGFR</i>-mutant NSCLC (<i>n</i> = 43). Confirmed ORR was 40% (17 of 43; 95% confidence interval (CI), 25–56). Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 6.2 months (95% CI, 5.3–11.3). Post-hoc subgroup analyses found better outcomes in the <i>EGFR</i>-mutant subset (22 of 43, 51%) with a confirmed ORR of 55% (12 of 22) and median PFS of 11.1 months. These findings were independently supported by results from SKB264-II-08, where sac-TMT led to confirmed ORR of 34% (22 of 64; 95% CI, 23–47) and median PFS of 9.3 months (95% CI, 7.6–11.4) in 64 patients with <i>EGFR</i>-mutant NSCLC. For a total of 107 patients receiving sac-TMT, the most common treatment-related adverse events were hematologic toxicities. Diarrhea (4%) and interstitial lung disease (1%) were uncommon. Exploration of potential mechanisms revealed that the presence of <i>EGFR</i> mutation substantially increased the internalization and activity of sac-TMT in vitro. Overall, sac-TMT showed encouraging single-agent activity and manageable tolerability in previously treated, advanced NSCLC with EGFR mutations. Randomized phase 3 trials in treatment-naive and previously treated patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC are ongoing.

In the present study, we evaluated plasma phospho-tau217 (p-tau217) using predefined biomarker cutoffs. The study included 1,767 participants with cognitive symptoms from 4 independent secondary care cohorts in Malmö (Sweden, <i>n</i> = 337), Gothenburg (Sweden, <i>n</i> = 165), Barcelona (Spain, <i>n</i> = 487) and Brescia (Italy, <i>n</i> = 230), and a primary care cohort in Sweden (<i>n</i> = 548). Plasma p-tau217 was primarily measured using the fully automated, commercially available, Lumipulse immunoassay. The primary outcome was AD pathology defined as abnormal cerebrospinal fluid Aβ42:p-tau181. Plasma p-tau217 detected AD pathology with areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves of 0.93–0.96. In secondary care, the accuracies were 89–91%, the positive predictive values 89–95% and the negative predictive values 77–90%. In primary care, the accuracy was 85%, the positive predictive values 82% and the negative predictive values 88%. Accuracy was lower in participants aged ≥80 years (83%), but was unaffected by chronic kidney disease, diabetes, sex, <i>APOE</i> genotype or cognitive stage. Using a two-cutoff approach, accuracies increased to 92–94% in secondary and primary care, excluding 12–17% with intermediate results. Using the plasma p-tau217:Aβ42 ratio did not improve accuracy but reduced intermediate test results (≤10%). Compared with a high-performing mass-spectrometry-based assay for percentage p-tau217, accuracies were comparable in secondary care. However, percentage p-tau217 had higher accuracy in primary care and was unaffected by age. In conclusion, this fully automated p-tau217 test demonstrates high accuracy for identifying AD pathology. A two-cutoff approach might be necessary to optimize performance across diverse settings and subpopulations.</p>","PeriodicalId":19037,"journal":{"name":"Nature Medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":82.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143805881","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}

However, most trials published so far show limited clinical activity. Here we report interim data from a first-in-human, multicenter, open-label, 3 + 3 dose-escalation/de-escalation phase 1 trial studying IMA203, an autologous preferentially expressed antigen in melanoma (PRAME)-directed TCR T cell therapy in HLA-A*02<sup>+</sup> patients with PRAME<sup>+</sup> recurrent and/or refractory solid tumors, including melanoma and sarcoma. Primary objectives include the evaluation of safety and tolerability and the determination of the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended dose for extension. Secondary objectives include the evaluation of IMA203 TCR-engineered T cell persistence in peripheral blood, tumor response as well as duration of response. A total of 27 patients were enrolled in the phase 1a dose escalation and 13 patients in the phase 1b dose extension. IMA203 T cells were safe, and the MTD was not reached. Of the 41 patients receiving treatment (that is, who started lymphodepletion), severe cytokine release syndrome was observed in 4.9% (2/41), and severe neurotoxicity did not occur. In the 40 patients treated with IMA203, an overall response rate consisting of patients with unconfirmed or confirmed response (u/cORR) of 52.5% (21/40) and a cORR of 28.9% (11/38) was observed with a median duration of response of 4.4 months (range, 2.4–23.0, 95% confidence interval: 2.6–not reached) across multiple indications. Rapid T cell engraftment and long-term persistence of IMA203 T cells were observed. IMA203 T cells trafficked to all organs, and confirmed responses were more frequent in patients with higher dose. T cell exhaustion was not observed in the periphery; deep responses were enriched at higher PRAME expression; and higher T cell infiltration resulted in longer progression-free survival. Overall, IMA203 showed promising anti-tumor activity in multiple solid tumors, including refractory melanoma.

A global phylogenomic analysis of Enteritidis revealed three distinct clades, highlighting the accumulation of AMR determinants during its international spread. Importantly, our genomic and transmission analyses suggest that iNTS infections may involve human-to-human transmission, with diarrheal patients acting as potential intermediaries, deviating from typical zoonotic pathways.
