TLDR
Important biological features associated with differential PFS between the treatment arms are identified, including new immunomodulatory and angiogenesis gene expression signatures (GESs), previously undescribed mutational profiles and their corresponding GESs, and several HLA types.Abstract:
We report on molecular analyses of baseline tumor samples from the phase 3 JAVELIN Renal 101 trial (n = 886;
NCT02684006
), which demonstrated significantly prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) with first-line avelumab + axitinib versus sunitinib in advanced renal cell carcinoma (aRCC). We found that neither expression of the commonly assessed biomarker programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) nor tumor mutational burden differentiated PFS in either study arm. Similarly, the presence of FcɣR single nucleotide polymorphisms was unimpactful. We identified important biological features associated with differential PFS between the treatment arms, including new immunomodulatory and angiogenesis gene expression signatures (GESs), previously undescribed mutational profiles and their corresponding GESs, and several HLA types. These findings provide insight into the determinants of response to combined PD-1/PD-L1 and angiogenic pathway inhibition and may aid in the development of strategies for improved patient care in aRCC. Biomarker analysis of the phase 3 JAVELIN Renal 101 trial uncovers molecular determinants of therapy-specific outcomes, which may inform personalized treatment strategies for patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma.read more

TL;DR: It is shown that children with SARS-CoV-2 infection may have a less severe pattern of disease in comparison to adults and larger epidemiological and clinical cohort studies are needed to better understand possible implications of COVID-19 infection in children.

Toward personalized treatment approaches for non-small-cell lung cancer
TL;DR: A major challenge to successful development of rational combination therapies will be the application of robust predictive biomarkers for clear-cut patient stratification, and the views on clinical research areas that could influence how NSCLC will be managed over the coming decade are provided.

Zowi R. Huinen,Elisabeth J. M. Huijbers,Judy R. van Beijnum,Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska,Arjan W. Griffioen +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe how angiogenesis-induced endothelial immune cell barrier hampers antitumour immunity and the role of endothelial cell anergy as the vascular counterpart of immune checkpoints, and provide an update on the current clinical successes achieved when these agents are combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Moderated estimation of fold change and dispersion for RNA-seq data with DESeq2
TL;DR: This work presents DESeq2, a method for differential analysis of count data, using shrinkage estimation for dispersions and fold changes to improve stability and interpretability of estimates, which enables a more quantitative analysis focused on the strength rather than the mere presence of differential expression.

Regularization and variable selection via the elastic net
Hui Zou,Trevor Hastie +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the elastic net often outperforms the lasso, while enjoying a similar sparsity of representation, and an algorithm called LARS‐EN is proposed for computing elastic net regularization paths efficiently, much like algorithm LARS does for the lamba.
