miR-30b-3p Inhibits the Proliferation and Invasion of Lung Adenocarcinoma 
by Targeting COX6B1
Background and objective Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most common clinical histological subtype of lung cancer and microRNAs (miRNAs) are a type of small non-coding RNAs which play a central role in cells. miR-30b-3p plays a key effect in many types of carcinoma, but there is still very little research on how it works in lung adenocarcinoma. The role and mechanism of miR-30b-3p in the proliferation and invasion of LUAD were explored in this study, to provide new targets for inhibiting the proliferation and invasion of LUAD. Methods NCBI database was used to screen out miRNA with obvious differential expression, and th...

Consideration on the Research and Development of New Drugs for Rare Tumors
In recent years, China ' s anti-tumor drugs has shown a continuous growth trend, and the activity of anti-tumor research and development in China accounts for a higher proportion in the world. However, further analysis of research and development hotspots show that the research and development of anti-tumor drugs is uneven among different tumor types. Due to the small number of the patients, it is difficult to conduct clinical trials, resulting in less drug development in the field of rare tumors. However, patients ' treatment needs will also bring potential opportunities for pharmaceutical companies. The development of ba...

Clinical Value of Autoantibody Prognostic Markers in Tumor Immune Checkpoint 
Inhibitor Therapy
Serum autoantibody markers have the advantages of easy specimen acquisition, simple detection technology and dynamic real-time monitoring. With the wide application of immune checkpoint inhibitors in the treatment of malignant tumors, autoantibody markers in predicting tumor immune checkpoint inhibitors efficacy and forecasting irAEs (immune related adverse events) show good prediction of potential. This review mainly focused on the progress of autoantibody markers in the prediction of therapeutic effect and the monitoring of irAE in tumor immunotherapy.

Progress of Neoadjuvant Immunotherapy for Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Neoadjuvant immunotherapy, including neoadjuvant single- or dual-drug immunotherapy or combined immunotherapy with chemotherapy or radiotherapy, has witnessed a rapid development in non-small cell lung cancer. Clinical trials exhibited the encouraging pathological responses and certain clinical benefits in selected patients, with tolerable toxicity. Nivolumab with chemotherapy has been approved by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as the first immunotherapy-based treatment for non-small cell lung cancer in the neoadjuvant treatment setting. There is the need for further evaluation of long-term efficacy, side effects or su...

Advances in Diagnosis and Treatment of Leptomeningeal Metastasis of Lung Cancer
Leptomeningeal metastases (LM), a special type of metastasis in advanced lung cancer, is known for its severe clinical symptoms, rapid progression and poor prognosis. LM used to be featured with low clinical diagnosis rate, limited treatment options, poor treatment efficacy, and very short survival if treatment not given. Though cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cytology remains to be the gold standard for the diagnosis of LM, the positive rate of the first CSF cytology even in patients with suggestive clinical symptoms and positive imaging generally does not exceed 50%, leading to a delay in the diagnosis and treatment of patient...

Challenges of Investigator-initiated Clinical Trials to Support 
the New Drug Development
A large number of investigator-initiated clinical trials (IIT) were conducted in China, some of them should play an important supporting role in new drug development. Due to the large number, small scale and uneven quality of IIT in China, especially a big gap between the IIT and industry-sponsored trials in terms of protocol design, quality management and ethical review, many IIT can ’t be used to support the new drug development. Therefore, it is necessary for regulatory authorities, sponsors, research institutions, ethics committees and researchers to improve their understanding of the role of IIT. In order to support...

Discussion on the Focus of On-site Inspection of Clinical Trials of Lung Cancer 
Targeted Therapy and Immunotherapy Drugs
As lung cancer targeted therapy and immunotherapy drugs are the current hot spot in the research and development area of new anti-tumor drugs, the amount of clinical trial in this area is increasing year by year. On the basis of combing the on-site inspections of drug registration clinical trials from 2019 to 2021, combined with the characteristics of lung cancer targeted therapy and immunotherapy drugs, this paper discusses the focus of on-site inspection of clinical trials of such drugs, and puts forward suggestions for the compliant implementation of lung cancer clinical trials.
