Durable Survival and Enhanced Downstaging: Long-term Insights from the NEOpredict-Lung Trial on Preoperative PD-1 and LAG-3 Blockade

Extended follow-up of the NEOpredict-Lung trial demonstrates that short-course preoperative nivolumab, with or without relatlimab, yields high 3-year survival rates and significant nodal downstaging in resectable NSCLC, positioning dual checkpoint inhibition as a potent chemotherapy-free neoadjuvant alternative.

Adjuvant Camrelizumab plus Capecitabine Extends Recurrence-Free Survival in Resected Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma: Results from the Phase 2 ACC Trial

The Phase 2 ACC trial demonstrates that adjuvant camrelizumab combined with capecitabine achieves a median recurrence-free survival of 24.29 months for patients with resected intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, offering a promising and manageable immunochemotherapy strategy for this high-risk population.

High-Dose Oral Insulin Fails to Prevent Islet Autoimmunity: Primary Results from the POInT Randomized Trial

The POInT trial demonstrated that high-dose daily oral insulin does not prevent islet autoantibodies in infants at high genetic risk for type 1 diabetes. Despite its safety, the primary endpoint was not met, though genotype-specific interactions suggest a need for more personalized prevention strategies.

Limited Efficacy for Cabozantinib and Nivolumab in Advanced Extrapancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors: Insights from a Phase II Trial

A Phase II trial investigating the combination of cabozantinib and nivolumab in advanced extrapancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (epNETs) failed to meet its primary objective response rate endpoint, despite high rates of stable disease, highlighting the challenges of immunotherapy in these tumors.
