Autopsy-Proven Immune-Mediated Hepatitis With Rapid Liver Atrophy Despite Minimal Aminotransferase Elevation After Durvalumab Plus Tremelimumab Therapy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Case Report. (PubMed, Clin Case Rep)
The tumor burden was small without metastasis. This case highlights that ICI hepatitis can progress with minimal aminotransferase elevation in advanced cirrhosis, warranting multidimensional monitoring beyond aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase, including bilirubin, coagulation parameters, clinical decompensation, and quantitative imaging.

Phase I trial of intravenous VCN-01 oncolytic adenovirus and durvalumab in patients with head and neck metastatic squamous cell carcinoma refractory to immunotherapy. (PubMed, Clin Cancer Res)
Sequential VCN-01 plus durvalumab was better tolerated than concomitant treatment. The recommended VCN-01 phase 2 dose (RP2D) was 1.0E13 vp, on the sequential schedule. Encouraging survival was observed in patients after progressing on anti-PD-(L)1 agents. Data supports VCN-01 replication associated with increased PD-1, PD-L1, and CD8 tumor expression. Sequential systemic delivery of VCN-01 and anti-PD-L1 therapy may represent an improved treatment for HNSCC.

Real-World Comparison of First-Line Atezolizumab plus Bevacizumab and Durvalumab plus Tremelimumab for Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma. (PubMed, Liver Cancer)
This dissociation between PFS and OS may reflect differences in disease biology, treatment sequencing, and post-progression management rather than intrinsic superiority of either regimen. These findings highlight the importance of individualized treatment selection and careful consideration of tumor characteristics and hepatic reserve when choosing first-line immunotherapy for uHCC.

State-of-the-Art Advances and Management of Unresectable Locally Advanced (stage III) Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. (PubMed, Am Soc Clin Oncol Educ Book)
The phase III PACIFIC trial established consolidation durvalumab as the standard of care, demonstrating significant improvements in progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS)...The phase III LAURA trial demonstrated a substantial PFS benefit with consolidation osimertinib in patients with EGFR-mutated stage III NSCLC after definitive CRT. Ongoing research is focused on optimizing treatment sequencing, including induction chemoimmunotherapy approaches, radiation dose intensification strategies such as stereotactic boosts, and integration of targeted therapies for actionable genomic alterations. In this review, we summarize the current evidence guiding the management of unresectable stage III NSCLC, highlight advances in radiation and systemic therapies, and discuss emerging strategies aimed at improving locoregional control and long-term survival.
