Abstract
Rationale: A fatal acute exacerbation (AE) occasionally develops during chemotherapy for small cell lung cancer (SCLC) with comorbid idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).Objectives: This study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of carboplatin, etoposide, and nintedanib combination therapy for unresectable SCLC with comorbid IPF.Methods: The NEXT-SHIP study is a multicenter, single-arm, phase 2 trial for unresectable SCLC with IPF (Japan Registry of Clinical Trials registry number jRCTs031190119). The patients received carboplatin, etoposide, and nintedanib (150 mg twice daily). The primary endpoint was the incidence of IPF-AE at 28 days after the last administration of cytotoxic chemotherapy, and the sample size was set at 33 (5.0% expected, 20.0% threshold).Results: A total of 33 patients were registered; 87.9% were male, the median age was 73 years, the median percentage forced vital capacity was 85.2%, and 51.5% had honeycomb lungs. The median observation period was 10.5 months. The incidence of IPF-AE at 28 days after the last administration of cytotoxic chemotherapy was 3.0% (90% confidence interval [CI], 0.2-13.6). The objective response rate was 68.8% (95% CI, 50.0-83.9). The median progression-free survival and overall survival times were 4.2 months (95% CI, 4.2-5.5) and 13.4 months (95% CI, 8.1-21.6), respectively. The most common adverse event of grade 3 or higher was neutropenia (81.8%), followed by leukopenia (39.4%) and thrombocytopenia (30.3%).Conclusions: This study met its primary endpoint regarding the incidence of IPF-AEs with promising results for efficacy. Carboplatin, etoposide, and nintedanib combination therapy may be one of the standard treatment options for SCLC with comorbid IPF.Clinical trial registered with the Japan Registry of Clinical Trials (jRCTs031190119).

Abstract
BACKGROUND. Treatment options for patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) who develop stage I-II non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are severely limited, given that surgical resection, radiation, and systemic therapy are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. OBJECTIVE. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of percutaneous ablation of stage I-II NSCLC in patients with ILD. METHODS. This retrospective study included patients with ILD and stage I-II NSCLC treated with percutaneous ablation in three health systems between October 2004 and February 2023. At each site, a single thoracic radiologist, blinded to clinical outcomes, reviewed preprocedural chest CT examinations for the presence and type of ILD according to 2018 criteria proposed by the American Thoracic Society, European Respiratory Society, Japanese Respiratory Society, and Latin American Thoracic Society. The primary outcome was 90-day major (grade ≥ 3) adverse events, based on Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0. Secondary outcomes were hospital length of stay (HLOS), local tumor control, and overall survival (OS). RESULTS. The study included 33 patients (19 men, 14 women; median age, 78 years; 16 patients with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status ≤ 1) with ILD who underwent 42 percutaneous ablation sessions (21 cryoablations, 11 radiofrequency ablations, 10 microwave ablations) of 43 NSCLC tumors ((median tumor size, 1.6 cm; IQR, 1.4-2.5 cm; range, 0.7-5.4 cm; 37 stage I, six stage II). The extent of lung fibrosis was 20% or less in 24 patients; 17 patients had imaging findings of definite or probable usual interstitial pneumonia. The 90-day major adverse event rate was 14% (6/42), including one CTCAE grade 4 event. No acute ILD exacerbation or death occurred within 90 days after ablation. The median HLOS was 1 day (IQR, 0-2 days). Median imaging follow-up for local tumor control was 17 months (IQR, 11-32 months). Median imaging or clinical follow-up for OS was 16 months (IQR, 6-26 months). Local tumor control and OS were 78% and 77%, respectively, at 1 year and 73% and 46% at 2 years. CONCLUSION. Percutaneous ablation appears to be a safe and effective treatment option for stage I-II NSCLC in the setting of ILD after multidisciplinary selection. CLINICAL IMPACT. Patients with ILD and stage I-II NSCLC should be considered for percutaneous ablation given that they are frequently ineligible for surgical resection, radiation, and systemic therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although acute exacerbation (AE) after treatment for lung cancer (LC) is a poor prognostic factor in patients with interstitial lung disease associated with lung cancer (ILD-LC), the risk of AE according to cancer treatment type remains unclear. Therefore, in the present study, we aimed to investigate the association between AE and treatment received for LC in patients with ILD-LC. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study of patients with ILD-LC who had undergone treatment for LC between January 2018 and December 2022. The primary study outcome was the incidence of AE within 12 months of treatment for LC according to treatment type. The association between AE and all-cause mortality was evaluated as a secondary outcome. RESULTS Among a total of 137 patients, 23 (16.8%) developed AE within 12 months of treatment for LC. The incidence of AE according to treatment type was 4.3% for surgery, 16.2% for radiotherapy, 15.6% for chemotherapy, and 54.5% for concurrent chemoradiation therapy (CCRT). Patients who received CCRT were more likely to develop AE, even after adjustment for covariables (hazard ratio [HR], 15.39; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.00-59.19; p < 0.001). In addition, AE within 12 months of treatment for LC was associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality (HR, 2.82; 95% CI: 1.13-7.04; p = 0.026). CONCLUSION Among treatment options for patients with ILD-LC, CCRT was associated with an increased risk for AE. In addition, patients with AE had a higher mortality rate than patients without AE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is associated with a higher lung cancer (LC) risk and may impact cancer's clinical characteristics, treatment strategies, and outcomes. This impact's extent is unclear, particularly in Caucasians. METHODS In this retrospective observational study, we reviewed the files of all LC patients diagnosed in a 38-month period. Expert radiologists reviewed the computed tomography scans performed at diagnosis. Patients with LC and ILD (n = 29, 7%) were compared to those without ILD (n = 363, 93%) for population and cancer characteristics, treatments, and clinical outcomes. RESULTS Patients with LC and ILD were older (73 ± 8 vs. 65 ± 11 years; p < 0.001). There was no significant difference in LC histology, localization, stage, or treatment modalities. The respiratory complication rate after cancer treatment was significantly higher in the ILD group (39% vs. 6%; p < 0.01). Overall survival rates were similar at 12 (52% vs. 59%; p = 0.48) and 24 months (41% vs. 45%; p = 0.64) but poorer in the ILD group at 36 months, although not statistically significant (9% vs. 39%; p = 0.06). The ILD group had a higher probability of death (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.49 [0.96;2.27]), but this was not statistically significant (p = 0.06). In a Cox regression model, patients with ILD treated surgically had a significantly higher mortality risk (HR = 2.37 [1.1;5.09]; p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS Patients with combined LC and ILD have worse clinical outcomes even when similar treatment modalities are offered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The clinical questions of whether chemotherapy as initial treatment, compared with best supportive care (BSC), improves overall survival (OS) and whether it increases the occurrence risk of acute exacerbation of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP) in patients with advanced-stage lung cancer and IIP remain inconclusive. This study addresses these issues, given that chemotherapy-related acute exacerbation of IIP may be a direct cause of mortality in these patients. METHODS We enrolled 1003 patients from 110 Japanese institutions and collected clinical profiles from 707 and 296 patients in the chemotherapy (men: women, 645:62; mean age, 70.4 ± 6.9 years) and BSC (men: women, 261:35; mean age, 75.2 ± 7.8) groups, respectively. We used propensity score matching to create 222 matched pairs from both groups using patient demographic data (age, sex, smoking status, performance status, history of acute exacerbation of IIP, desaturation on exertion, clinical diagnosis of IIP, high-resolution computed tomography findings, serum fibrotic markers, pulmonary function status, and lung cancer histopathology). Logistic or Cox regression analyses were performed using matched data to assess the effects of chemotherapy on the risk of acute exacerbation of IIP or OS, respectively. RESULTS In the well-matched cohort, chemotherapy improved OS (hazard ratio: 0.629, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.506-0.783, p < 0.0001); however, it involved significant acute exacerbation of IIP (odds ratio: 1.787, 95% CI: 1.026-3.113) compared to BSC. CONCLUSIONS Compared with BSC, chemotherapy can improve OS in patients with advanced-stage lung cancer and IIP; however, it increases the risk of acute exacerbation of IIP.

Abstract
Checkpoint inhibitor pneumonitis (CIP) is a relatively rare adverse event and a potential cause of death in patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Because the symptoms and signs are nonspecific, the diagnosis of CIP is challenging. Additionally, compared with the biomarkers that can monitor the effect of ICIs, there is less research evaluating markers to monitor CIP. We report a case of CIP induced by camrelizumab in a patient with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer, in which the fractional exhaled nitric oxide levels showed obvious increases. Fractional exhaled nitric oxide may have the potential to monitor the condition of airway inflammation in patients using ICIs.

Abstract
Patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD), especially those with pulmonary fibrosis, are at increased risk of developing lung cancer. Management of lung cancer in patients with ILD is particularly challenging. Diagnosis can be complicated by difficulty differentiating lung nodules from areas of focal fibrosis, and percutaneous biopsy approaches confer an increased risk of complications in those with pulmonary fibrosis. Lung cancer treatment in these patients pose several specific considerations. The degree of lung function impairment may preclude lobectomy or surgical resection of any type. Surgical resection can trigger an acute exacerbation of the underlying ILD. The presence of ILD confers an increased risk of pneumonitis with radiotherapy, and many of the systemic therapies also carry an increased risk of pneumonitis in this population. The safety of immunotherapy in the setting of ILD remains to be fully elucidated and concerns remain as to triggering pneumonitis. The purpose of this review is to summarize the evidence regarding consideration for tissue diagnosis, chemotherapy and immunotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery, in this patient population and discuss emerging areas of research. We also propose a multidisciplinary approach and practical considerations for monitoring for ILD progression during lung cancer treatment.
