Case in brief
A 41-year-old male with stage IVA lung adenocarcinoma, initially treated with camrelizumab, pemetrexed, and carboplatin, experienced disease progression after achieving a partial response. Upon switching to second-line therapy with ivonescimab and docetaxel, the patient attained a significant clinical and radiographic response, sustaining a partial response over 12 treatment cycles, with progression-free survival exceeding 12 months.
Diagnostic / clinical pearl
This case illustrates the potential efficacy of ivonescimab-based therapy in advanced lung adenocarcinoma patients who have progressed on prior immunotherapy, even with low PD-L1 expression.
