Abstract B072: Phase Ib trial of the RNActive cancer vaccine BI 1361849 (CV9202) and local radiotherapy in patients with stage IV non-small cell lung…
2016
Abstract Background: Preclinical studies demonstrated that local radiotherapy (RT) acts synergistically with RNActive mRNA vaccines to enhance anti-tumor effects and increase tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. BI 1361849 is a therapeutic vaccine comprising optimized mRNA constituents encoding six NSCLC-associated antigens. Interim data of a phase Ib study, employing local RT to increase the immune mediated tumor control by BI 1361849, have been previously published (J Clin Oncol 34, 2016, suppl; abstr e20627). Here we report results of immune response analyses as well as updated safety and efficacy data. Methods: Patients (pts) with stage IV NSCLC were enrolled in three cohorts based on histol…
Prophylactic cranial irradiation in stage IV small cell lung cancer
2019
Background: Due to conflicting results between major trials the role of prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) in stage IV small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is controversial.Methods: We obtained a list of 13 European experts from both the European Society for Therapeutic Radiation Oncology (ESTRO) and the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC). The strategies in decision making for PCI in stage IV SCLC were collected. Decision trees were created representing these strategies. Analysis of consensus was performed with the objective consensus methodology.Results: The factors associated with the recommendation for the use of PCI included the fitness of the patient, young age…
