Atezolizumab with bevacizumab, paclitaxel and carboplatin was effective for patients with SMARCA4-deficient thoracic sarcoma.
2021
SMARCA4-deficient thoracic sarcoma (DTS) is a recently noted progressive thoracic malignancy. We recently experienced three cases of SMARCA4-DTS who were treated with atezolizumab in combination with bevacizumab, paclitaxel and carboplatin (ABCP) as the first-line therapy. Immunohistopathological analysis revealed absent expression of SMARCA4 in all cases. The tumor mutational burden was over 11/Mb and mutations in SMARCA4 and TP53 were detected in all three cases. Partial response to ABCP treatment was observed in all three cases, with a progression-free survival of approximately 6 months or longer and a continuous response of 1 year or longer in one case. The first-line ABCP treatment demonstrated durable efficacy in SMARCA4-DTS regardless of the degree of PD-L1 expression.
