Neoadjuvant toripalimab plus celecoxib versus toripalimab monotherapy for mismatch repair-deficient or microsatellite instability-high, locally advanced colorectal cancer (PICC-2): an open-label, multicentre, randomised, phase 2 trial. (PubMed, Lancet Oncol)
In patients with dMMR or MSI-H locally advanced colorectal cancer, neoadjuvant toripalimab plus celecoxib significantly increased the proportion of patients attaining pathological complete response compared with toripalimab monotherapy, with a similar safety profile. These findings support further investigation of this combination strategy in larger phase 3 trials.

Prognostic Circulating Cytokine Panels for Metronomic Chemotherapy in Metastatic Gastrointestinal Cancer: Exploratory Pharmacodynamic Biomarker Analysis of the Phase II COMET Trial. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
This exploratory pharmacodynamic biomarker analysis identifies three 3-cytokine panels associated with prognostic risk stratification in metronomic chemotherapy for metastatic gastrointestinal cancer. As this single-arm trial cannot distinguish prognostic from predictive value, findings are hypothesis-generating. Prospective external validation is required before clinical translation, and exploration in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors is warranted.

An immunogenomic classification of solid tumours reveals subtype-specific therapeutic vulnerabilities for immunotherapy. (PubMed, EBioMedicine)
Leveraging clinical feasible RNA-seq and TMB analysis, our model exhibits robust predictive efficacy of ICB response in multiple cancers, enabling subtype-tailored therapeutic combinations to improve immunotherapy response.

A chemokine "leverage regulation" biomimetic nanoformulation enhances CAR-T cells against solid tumors by reshaping immune cell niches. (PubMed, J Control Release)
The system is constructed using celecoxib (CXB)-loaded poly(d,l-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) nanoparticles and subsequently camouflaging them with mesenchymal stem cell membranes with high CXCR4 expression...This dual modulation of the chemokine network significantly improves the therapeutic efficacy of CAR-T cells against solid tumors. Our approach represents a promising strategy for advancing CAR-T cell therapy toward clinical applications for soild tumors.

Exploring the celecoxib-cervical cancer relationship using in vitro, network pharmacology, and Mendelian randomization approaches. (PubMed, Front Med (Lausanne))
By integrating genetic causal inference, in vitro experiments, and network pharmacology, our study systematically reveals that celecoxib may exert therapeutic effects by targeting against cervical cancer by targeting NEU1 and modulating CD25 on CD45RA+ CD4+ non-regulatory T cell-related immune pathways. This finding highlights both the novelty and the translational potential of this approach.
