Perioperative Immunotherapy: A Promising Advancement in Early NSCLC Treatment

In recent years, the field of oncology has witnessed significant advancements in the treatment of various cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). One such promising development is the utilization of perioperative immunotherapy, which has shown the potential in improving event-free survival (EFS) for early-stage NSCLC patients. In this comprehensive article, we explore the impact of…

"Doctors have begun trialling the world’s first mRNA lung cancer vaccine in patients, as experts hailed its “groundbreaking” potential to save thousands of lives.

Lung cancer is the world’s leading cause of cancer death, accounting for about 1.8m deaths every year. Survival rates in those with advanced forms of the disease, where tumours have spread, are particularly poor.

Now experts are testing a new jab that instructs the body to hunt down and kill cancer cells – then prevents them ever coming back. Known as BNT116 and made by BioNTech, the vaccine is designed to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the most common form of the disease.

The phase 1 clinical trial, the first human study of BNT116, has launched across 34 research sites in seven countries: the UK, US, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Spain and Turkey.

The UK has six sites, located in England and Wales, with the first UK patient to receive the vaccine having their initial dose on Tuesday [August 20, 2024].

Overall, about 130 patients – from early-stage before surgery or radiotherapy, to late-stage disease or recurrent cancer – will be enrolled to have the jab alongside immunotherapy. About 20 will be from the UK.

The jab uses messenger RNA (mRNA), similar to Covid-19 vaccines, and works by presenting the immune system with tumour markers from NSCLC to prime the body to fight cancer cells expressing these markers.

The aim is to strengthen a person’s immune response to cancer while leaving healthy cells untouched, unlike chemotherapy.

“We are now entering this very exciting new era of mRNA-based immunotherapy clinical trials to investigate the treatment of lung cancer,” said Prof Siow Ming Lee, a consultant medical oncologist at University College London hospitals NHS foundation trust (UCLH), which is leading the trial in the UK.

“It’s simple to deliver, and you can select specific antigens in the cancer cell, and then you target them. This technology is the next big phase of cancer treatment.”

Janusz Racz, 67, from London, was the first person to have the vaccine in the UK. He was diagnosed in May and soon after started chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

The scientist, who specialises in AI, said his profession inspired him to take part in the trial. “I am a scientist too, and I understand that the progress of science – especially in medicine – lies in people agreeing to be involved in such investigations,” he said...

“And also, I can be a part of the team that can provide proof of concept for this new methodology, and the faster it would be implemented across the world, more people will be saved.”

Racz received six consecutive injections five minutes apart over 30 minutes at the National Institute for Health Research UCLH Clinical Research Facility on Tuesday.

Each jab contained different RNA strands. He will get the vaccine every week for six consecutive weeks, and then every three weeks for 54 weeks.

Lee said: “We hope adding this additional treatment will stop the cancer coming back because a lot of time for lung cancer patients, even after surgery and radiation, it does come back.” ...

“We hope to go on to phase 2, phase 3, and then hope it becomes standard of care worldwide and saves lots of lung cancer patients.”

The Guardian revealed in May that thousands of patients in England were to be fast-tracked into groundbreaking trials of cancer vaccines in a revolutionary world-first NHS “matchmaking” scheme to save lives.

Under the scheme, patients who meet the eligibility criteria will gain access to clinical trials for the vaccines that experts say represent a new dawn in cancer treatment."

My mother doesn't have only one, but two — that's right, count them, two — different types of lung cancer. On one side of her chest, she has second-stage SCLC. On the other side of her chest, she has third-stage NSCLC. One of them has spread to her lymph nodes but because I've been struggling to assimilate an absolutely overwhelming amount of information since the situation started, I don't remember if it's the SCLC or NSCLC that's managed to travel there.

The SCLC is in fact the more severe of the two, even though it's earlier in its development than the NSCLC, because it is a much more aggressive and dangerous type of cancer.

She will be receiving radiation therapy daily, and additionally, she will be receiving chemotherapy... weekly, I think. Or maybe multiple times a week. I don't really remember. I am accompanying her to all of her appointments and I am trying to soak up the things that I learn from the doctors and the nurses like a sponge, but I truly believe that it is impossible for only one singular individual to absorb and retain so much information.

And it is, indeed, just one singular individual. Me. I'm not exaggerating. My mother was already a ditzy woman with the attention span of a fucking fruit fly before drugs and the overall stress of the situation sent her out of her mind, and as for my sack of shit of a "father," well... Suffice to say that he has chosen to remain uninvolved. He decidedly does not give a flying fuck about my mother and he never has — this will not be the thing that makes him start. Actually, to be honest, he seems eager to watch her die.

So it's me scheduling things for her, it's me taking her to the things that I've scheduled for her, it's me talking to the doctors and nurses for her, it's me asking them the important questions for her and remembering the important answers for her. Or trying to. I have a dissociative disorder which means that I have impaired memory, and I'm not new to medicine but I'm new to the subject of cancer, specifically; stepping into the field of oncology feels like stepping into a strange and unfamiliar world where there are people suffering to a degree that I never knew was possible. The sheer scale of everything that's being thrown straight at me so suddenly after a lifetime of being sheltered from all of it is insane. I've never known anyone who has had cancer before, see.

I'll be brutally honest: since her cancers are stage two and stage three, they aren't necessarily terminal, but because she's aging significantly and her health has been declining for decades, her chances of survival still aren't amazing. The oncologist she's seeing said that he's "cautiously optimistic" that "with timely treatment," she has "potential" to live 1-5 more years. He said that she shouldn't feel obligated to spend the remainder of her time making herself sick with these therapies, and can consider foregoing the treatment to focus on receiving high-quality end-of-life care instead. He sounded rather sure of her having a short life expectancy. Much shorter than I originally dared to let myself think.

She's a trooper, though. At least, she's trying to be. She started treatment today. There's something called a port that's been surgically installed into her neck. I'm not sure of the exact function of the port, even though it's been explained to me, but it's to make administering intravenous medicine easier and more convenient, I know that.

When one of her nurses accessed her port today, she bled and she cried. She said she was alright but I could tell that she was lying to try to impress me. I held her hand and she almost crushed my fingers. We're going back tomorrow. I'm wondering, will I have to watch her bleed and cry while I make an unsuccessful attempt at consoling her then, too? Will that become a part of our daily routine? From now on, will I be starting my morning by watching the woman I love the most suffer so immensely?

We've been at the hospital almost nonstop for the last two weeks, seeking consultations, tests, test results, etc. But she only officially began treatment today and I'm already tired. I'm tired of seeing her hurt. I'm tired of life being so fucking unfair to her. She doesn't deserve to be so sick. And, on a somewhat more selfish note, I'm tired on a purely physical level too. Come hell or high water, I will be with her every step of the way, but by God... daily trips to the hospital that are 2-8 hours long are taking a lot out of me and my incredibly broken body. Obviously, her life's much more important than my disability, so I can't complain too much. Just know that it's very demanding and very taxing and taking quite the toll.

It's an awful journey to embark on, but she's not dragging me along with her — I'm here with her because want to be here with her. I insist. It's my responsibility to take care of those that I love, even though I'm afraid and, to be frank, incompetent. I'm faking my confidence and pretending to know what I'm doing as a means of comforting her, because the truth behind how I feel would break her heart: I'm not hopeful at all. The future looks as bleak to me as it must feel to her.

Normally, I think it's pointless to be preemptively sad about something that hasn't happened yet, and I think it's pointless to preemptively grieve something that hasn't been lost yet. But I'm having a hard time abiding those principles now. When "the end" has been defined with such clarity, and mapped out plainly for me to see, how am I supposed to stop myself from mourning? I know what's coming. I know she's dying.

I can't stop it. I can't help her in a way that actually matters. I can only make sure that when she does die, she's not lonely.

I love her a lot. I don't think I'll be active on here much anymore.

Introduction to Osicent 80 mg (Osimertinib)

Osicent 80 mg, the brand name for osimertinib, is an advanced targeted therapy used in the treatment of certain types of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It falls under the category of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors, specifically designed to block the activity of a mutated EGFR protein that is involved in the growth and spread of cancer cells. This medication has revolutionized the treatment of EGFR-mutated lung cancer and is widely utilized for its efficacy in managing advanced stages of cancer, particularly in patients with mutations resistant to other EGFR inhibitors.

Mechanism of Action

Osicent 80 mg (Osimertinib) works by targeting and inhibiting the activity of EGFR that has specific mutations, such as the T790M resistance mutation. EGFR mutations are common in patients with NSCLC, and they often result in the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells. Osimertinib specifically binds to and blocks the EGFR protein, effectively preventing cancer cells from proliferating. By doing so, osimertinib not only helps to stop tumor growth but also promotes cancer cell death, improving the overall prognosis of individuals diagnosed with advanced lung cancer.

Unlike earlier-generation EGFR inhibitors, Osicent 80 mg is designed to be effective against both the common EGFR mutations and the T790M mutation, which often leads to resistance to other treatments. This makes Osicent 80 mg (Osimertinib) an ideal treatment option for patients who have already undergone EGFR-targeted therapy and experienced disease progression.

Indications for Use

Osicent 80 mg is primarily prescribed for patients diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer who have specific EGFR mutations. The primary indications for the use of Osicent 80 mg include:

First-line treatment of metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR mutations: Osicent is used as a first-line therapy in patients who have metastatic NSCLC with exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R mutations.

Treatment of NSCLC with T790M mutation: Osicent is highly effective in patients who have acquired resistance to prior EGFR inhibitors due to the T790M mutation, making it a critical option for second-line treatment.

Adjuvant treatment: In some cases, Osicent is prescribed for patients in the adjuvant setting (following surgery) to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence, especially if the tumor has EGFR mutations.

Dosage and Administration

Osicent 80 mg is administered orally, typically once a day, with or without food. The standard dosage is one tablet of 80 mg per day, and the treatment may continue as long as the patient is benefiting from it and can tolerate the medication. In cases of adverse effects, the dose may be adjusted under the guidance of a healthcare provider.

Potential Side Effects

While Osicent 80 mg has been shown to be highly effective in treating NSCLC, like any medication, it can cause side effects. Common side effects include:

Diarrhea: One of the most frequently reported side effects, which can be managed with supportive care.

Rash: A skin rash may develop, often resembling acne, which is common with EGFR inhibitors.

Fatigue: Some patients experience tiredness or weakness during treatment.

Nausea: Although less common, nausea may occur, particularly during the initial phases of treatment.

Interstitial lung disease (ILD): A more serious, though less frequent, side effect is the development of ILD, which causes inflammation in the lungs and requires immediate medical attention.

Most side effects are manageable, and many patients find that the benefits of treatment outweigh the risks, particularly when the drug is effective in controlling cancer growth.

Precautions and Warnings

Before starting Osicent 80 mg, patients should inform their healthcare provider of any pre-existing lung or heart conditions. It is essential to monitor lung function regularly, as some patients may experience pulmonary issues during treatment. Additionally, Osicent can interact with other medications, so it’s crucial to inform the healthcare provider about any other drugs being taken, including over-the-counter medications and supplements.

Pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid taking Osicent, as it could harm the fetus or infant. The safety of osimertinib in pediatric patients has not been established, so it is generally not recommended for use in children.

Conclusion

Osicent 80 mg (Osimertinib) has significantly changed the landscape of treatment for patients with EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer. As a targeted therapy, it provides a precise and effective option for individuals whose cancer is resistant to other treatments. Its ability to target specific mutations, including the T790M mutation, has made it a vital part of lung cancer management. Patients prescribed Osicent can experience better outcomes, particularly in advanced or metastatic stages of cancer, leading to improved survival rates and quality of life.

As with any cancer treatment, it is crucial for patients to work closely with their healthcare providers to monitor their response to the medication and manage any potential side effects. With continued research and development, the role of Osicent 80 mg in cancer treatment is expected to grow, offering hope to many facing EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer.

Targeted Therapy:

Precision or targeted therapies encompass medications engineered to disrupt specific molecules implicated in the progression of cancer. In contrast to conventional chemotherapy's broad impact on fast-dividing cells, precision therapies selectively target cancer cells while preserving healthy tissue integrity. These drugs aim at various molecular pathways involved in cancer development, including signaling cascades, angiogenesis, and DNA repair mechanisms.

An illustrative example of precision therapy is the application of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in treating specific cancer types like non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). TKIs hinder the activity of particular tyrosine kinases, crucial enzymes in cancer-promoting cell signaling pathways. By obstructing these kinases, TKIs effectively inhibit tumor growth and extend patient survival.

Likewise, monoclonal antibodies represent another form of precision therapy, binding to specific proteins on cancer cell surfaces, initiating immune-mediated tumor destruction. These antibodies can also be combined with cytotoxic agents or radioactive isotopes to heighten their anti-cancer properties.

Personalized Chemotherapy:

While precision therapies are central to personalized medicine, tailored chemotherapy remains vital in cancer treatment. Tailored chemotherapy involves customizing traditional cytotoxic drugs to suit the unique characteristics of each patient's tumor. This may involve adjusting drug doses, combining different agents, or selecting chemotherapy regimens based on tumor biology and patient-specific factors.

One approach to tailored chemotherapy utilizes predictive biomarkers to identify patients likely to respond positively to specific chemotherapy drugs. For example, certain mutations in the BRCA genes are associated with increased sensitivity to platinum-based chemotherapy in breast and ovarian cancers. By identifying these biomarkers, oncologists can identify patients who will benefit most from a particular chemotherapy regimen while minimizing potential toxicity for others.

Furthermore, progress in pharmacogenomics, which explores how genetic variations affect drug response, has provided insights into individual differences in drug metabolism and toxicity. By analyzing patients' genetic profiles, oncologists can predict their likelihood of experiencing adverse effects or poor response to chemotherapy drugs, enabling personalized dose adjustments and treatment optimization.

Early cancer detection and management is important for an improved success rate in cancer treatment. You can undergo regular health checkups to get diagnosed for cancer at an early-stage. There are many good hospitals in Mumbai that offer health checkup packages for cancer screening, such as a full body health checkup at Saifee Hospital Mumbai, which is one of the best hospitals in the country.

Lung Cancer Treatment

Lung cancer treatment has evolved significantly in recent years, bringing new hope to patients. Traditional approaches like surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy continue to be the mainstay of treatment, especially for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, advancements in targeted therapy and immunotherapy have opened new avenues. 

Lung cancer treatment strategies vary depending on the stage and type of the lung cancer, as well as the overall health and preferences of the patient. In early stages, surgical removal of the tumor can be highly effective. In more advanced cases, where surgery is not an option, a combination of chemotherapy and radiation therapy may be used.

Targeted therapies specifically attack cancer cells with certain mutations, while immunotherapy boosts the body’s immune response against cancer. These treatments are often more effective and have fewer side effects compared to conventional methods, and they have significantly improved survival rates for many lung cancer patients.Recently, the role of personalized medicine in treatment of lung cancer has become increasingly important. This approach involves genetic testing of the tumor to identify specific mutations and choose treatments that are most likely to be effective. This personalized strategy has led to better outcomes and a more tailored approach to patient care.

How Long Can You Live with Lung Cancer with Treatment?

The prognosis of lung cancer has significantly improved with advancements in treatment for lung cancer, but the question remains: how long can one live with this condition after receiving treatment? To understand this, it’s crucial to explore how to treat lung cancer and the factors influencing survival rates.

When discussing what is the treatment for lung cancer, it’s essential to consider the stage of cancer. In stage 4, the cancer has spread beyond the lungs, making treatment more challenging. However, new therapies like immunotherapy have shown promising results in extending survival and improving the quality of life.

Traditionally, chemotherapy has been a cornerstone in lung cancer treatment. It involves the use of drugs to kill cancer cells or stop their growth. Alongside chemotherapy, radiation therapy is frequently employed, especially in cases where tumors cannot be surgically removed. The European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) provides comprehensive ESMO guidelines that help in determining the best course of treatment based on the latest research.

Targeted therapy has emerged as a critical component in the treatment arsenal. Unlike traditional cancer chemotherapy, targeted therapy attacks specific genes or proteins that contribute to cancer’s growth and survival. This precision makes it an effective option for certain types of lung cancer.

For advanced cases, particularly when the cancer is locally advanced, treatment becomes more complex. Here, the treatment algorithm may involve a combination of therapies, including surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. The radiation treatment for locally advanced lung cancer aims to reduce the tumor size and alleviate symptoms.

In exploring treatment options for lung cancer, it’s imperative to focus on individualized care. Each patient’s condition is unique, requiring a tailored approach based on their specific needs and the characteristics of their cancer.

In conclusion, while the survival rate for lung cancer has improved, it’s challenging to predict how long someone can live with the disease. Factors like the stage of cancer, overall health, and response to treatment play crucial roles. With continuous advancements in treatment methods, there is growing hope for extending both the quantity and quality of life for lung cancer patients.

How successful is osimertinib?

Osimertinib, marketed under the brand name Tagrisso, is a medication used primarily in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has specific mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene. It is one of the most notable drugs in modern oncology due to its effectiveness in treating advanced or metastatic NSCLC with EGFR mutations. Osimertinib has been a groundbreaking treatment option, showing remarkable success in clinical trials and real-world applications. This drug is particularly useful for patients who have developed resistance to earlier EGFR-targeting therapies.

Mechanism of Action

Osimertinib is a third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) designed to target EGFR mutations that are common in lung cancer. EGFR is a protein found on the surface of cells that plays a key role in cell division and survival. Mutations in the EGFR gene can lead to abnormal cell growth and cancer. Osimert 80 mg (Osimertinib) works by specifically inhibiting both activating mutations and T790M resistance mutations in the EGFR gene, which are often responsible for the failure of first- and second-generation EGFR inhibitors.

Clinical Efficacy

The success of osimertinib can be largely attributed to its clinical efficacy in various stages of NSCLC. Numerous clinical trials have demonstrated its significant benefit in terms of progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and response rate.

In phase III clinical trials such as the AURA3 trial, osimertinib showed a remarkable progression-free survival benefit compared to chemotherapy in patients with EGFR T790M mutation-positive NSCLC who had progressed on previous EGFR-targeted therapies. Additionally, in the FLAURA trial, osimertinib was shown to provide superior progression-free survival when compared to first-line treatments with older EGFR inhibitors like gefitinib or erlotinib.

Overall, osimertinib has provided promising results in terms of tumor response and survival outcomes for patients who have EGFR mutations, especially for those who have developed resistance to prior therapies.

Safety Profile

One of the key advantages of osimertinib is its favorable safety profile. Common side effects include diarrhea, rash, and dry skin, which are generally mild and manageable. Osimertinib is often well-tolerated by patients and causes fewer side effects compared to older EGFR inhibitors, which may result in more severe adverse reactions. The targeted mechanism of action of osimertinib means that it is less likely to affect healthy cells, leading to reduced toxicity and better quality of life for patients.

However, like all medications, osimertinib can still have serious side effects in some patients, such as interstitial lung disease (ILD), which requires prompt attention and monitoring. Nonetheless, the drug's safety profile remains one of the reasons for its widespread use in clinical practice.

Global Trust and Availability

Osimertinib has earned a high level of trust worldwide due to its efficacy and safety. Pharmaceutical companies and healthcare providers recognize the life-changing potential of this drug in treating advanced lung cancer, particularly in regions where NSCLC with EGFR mutations is more prevalent. The worldwide trust in osimertinib is reflected in the widespread approval it has received from regulatory bodies, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA).

Furthermore, osimertinib's availability across the globe has made it a critical option for patients suffering from EGFR-mutated lung cancer. In countries where access to cutting-edge treatments is often limited, osimertinib is still widely available, making it accessible to many patients who need it most.

Real-World Impact

Osimertinib's success goes beyond clinical trials—it has had a profound impact in the real world. Many patients who would otherwise have limited treatment options due to resistance to prior therapies now have a targeted, highly effective solution. The drug has transformed the prognosis for many lung cancer patients, allowing them to live longer and enjoy a better quality of life.

Moreover, osimertinib has not only shown effectiveness in the advanced setting but has also demonstrated a role in earlier-stage treatment of EGFR-mutated NSCLC, providing new hope to patients in various stages of their cancer journey.

Conclusion

Osimertinib is a highly successful and transformative treatment in the fight against non-small cell lung cancer, offering significant survival benefits and a favorable safety profile. Its targeted action against EGFR mutations, including the resistant T790M mutation, has revolutionized the management of lung cancer, providing a much-needed solution for patients with limited options. The trust placed in osimertinib by healthcare providers and patients worldwide reflects its significant impact, making it a cornerstone in modern cancer treatment. The future of osimertinib remains bright as ongoing research continues to explore its potential in combination therapies and in different stages of lung cancer.
