Abstract
Dramatic progress in targeted therapy and immunotherapy has been changing clinical practices in lung cancer. With the accumulation of clinical practice, it has become clear that pre-existing interstitial pneumonia (IP) could be a risk factor for drug-induced lung injury, which has enhanced awareness regarding the difficulty in treating lung cancer with comorbid IP. Unfortunately, there is only low-grade evidence in the field of lung cancer with comorbid IP, because almost all clinical trials exclude such patients. There have been very few specialized clinical trials for patients with lung cancer and underlying IPs thus far. Therefore, it is necessary to treat such cases empirically or to give up on the treatment itself. Considering these circumstances, establishing how to treat lung cancer with comorbid IP is an urgent issue. This paper is a summary of the official statement reported by the Diffuse Lung Disease/Thoracic Oncology Assembly and the Japanese Respiratory Society (JRS) in 2017, which attempts to approach lung cancer with comorbid IP systematically.

Abstract
Cataract was used as a model for the prevalence and economic impact of adverse events during the drug development process. Meta-analysis revealed a reported prevalence of cataract at 12.0% (1.0-43.3%), 3.8% (2.4-12.5%), 1.0% (0.0-8.1%), 1.7% (0.0-34.8%) and 3.8% (2.3-5.7%) of compounds in preclinical, Phase I, II, III and IV clinical trials, respectively. Utilising a human-based in vitro screening assay to predict cataractogenic potential in human could allow better selection of novel compounds at early-stage drug development. This could significantly reduce costs and ultimately increase the probability of a drug obtaining FDA approval for a clinical application.

Abstract
AIMS The incidence of breast cancer in China is increasing at a rate greater than the global average. For treatment of metastatic breast cancer, a phase 3 trial of 529 patients (study JHQG) found that the combination of gemcitabine, a cytotoxic nucleoside analog, and paclitaxel, a taxane, significantly improved both overall and progression-free survival compared with paclitaxel monotherapy. As ethnic differences in the safety and efficacy of some anticancer therapies have been reported, this review provides oncologists treating East Asian patients with an evidence base to extrapolate results of the predominately Caucasian phase 3 JHQG study to their patients. METHODS Three phase 2 studies in Chinese or Japanese patients with metastatic breast cancer are reviewed with reference to the global study JHQG. The results of pharmacokinetic, efficacy and safety analyses are descriptively compared between the global and Asian studies. RESULTS Peak and total drug exposure values differed by less than 10% across the studies. Response rate, overall and progression-free survival values were similar, although values from the Asian studies for each of these parameters were slightly higher. Asian patients had higher rates of hematologic toxicities but lower rates of other adverse events. CONCLUSION Examination of the data from three studies of the gemcitabine-paclitaxel combination reveals no clinically significant ethnic differences in efficacy and safety between East Asian patients and their global counterparts. Given its demonstrated efficacy and safety profile, the gemcitabine-paclitaxel regimen should be one of the standard treatments for East Asian patients with metastatic breast cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Eribulin mesylate is a non-taxane microtubule dynamics inhibitor that recently gained Food and Drug Administration approval for late-line metastatic breast cancer (MBC). PATIENTS AND METHODS In this single-arm, multicentre open-label phase II trial Japanese patients pretreated with an anthracycline and a taxane received 1.4 mg/m(2) eribulin mesylate (2- to 5-min i.v. infusion on days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle). The primary efficacy end point was overall response rate (ORR) by independent review. RESULTS Patients (N = 80) had received a median of three prior chemotherapy regimens (range 1-5). ORR was 21.3% [95% confidence interval (CI) 12.9-31.8; all partial responses (PRs)], stable disease (SD) occurred in 30 patients (37.5%) and the clinical benefit rate (complete response + PR + SD ≥6 months) was 27.5% (95% CI 18.1-38.6). Median duration of response was 3.9 months (95% CI 2.8-4.9), progression-free survival was 3.7 months (95% CI 2.0-4.4) and overall survival was 11.1 months (95% CI 7.9-15.8). The most frequent treatment-related grade 3/4 adverse events were neutropenia (95.1%), leukopenia (74.1%) and febrile neutropenia (13.6%). Grade 3 peripheral neuropathy occurred in 3.7% of patients (no grade 4). CONCLUSIONS Eribulin exhibited efficacy and tolerability in Japanese patients with heavily pretreated MBC.
