Severe nephrotoxicity with ipilimumab - attempted rechallenging under tocilizumab () - Jul 3, 2023 - Abstract #WCD2023WCD_6105; KEY MESSAGE: The rechallenge with ipilimumab, in patients with severe nephropathy as a previous adverse effect, may be necessary because it is the only therapeutic alternative. The use of tocilizumab associated with low doses of systemic corticosteroids may be an important therapeutic weapon in preventing new grade III and IV adverse effects

Journal, Checkpoint inhibition, Metastases: Impact of sex on prognosis in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 3, 2023 This retrospective study showed that immune checkpoint inhibitors-based treatment for renal cell carcinoma exhibited less marked effects in female than in male patients. Thus, sex may be an important factor for decision-making on systemic therapy as renal cell carcinoma treatment, although further studies are required to validate the present findings.

Journal, PD(L)-1 Biomarker, IO biomarker, Surgery: PD-1 blockade attenuates surgery-mediated immunosuppression and boosts Th1 immunity perioperatively in oesophagogastric junctional adenocarcinoma. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 30, 2023 Of note, the addition of nivolumab or ipilimumab attenuated the surgery-mediated suppression of lymphocyte cytotoxicity, demonstrated by a significant increase in tumour cell killing and an increase in the frequency of Th1-like cells and Th1 cytokine production. These findings support the hypothesis of a surgery-mediated suppression in Th1-like cytotoxic immunity and highlights a rationale for the use of ICB within the perioperative setting to abrogate tumour-promoting effects of surgery and ameliorate the risk of recurrence.

Patients treated with combination nivolumab-ipilimumab spent more time alive and free from systemic anticancer therapy than those treated with anti-PD-1 monotherapy alone.

Review, Journal, PD(L)-1 Biomarker, IO biomarker: Beyond CTLA-4 and PD-1 Inhibition: Novel Immune Checkpoint Molecules for Melanoma Treatment. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 22, 2023 More than ten years after the approval of ipilimumab, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) against PD-1 and CTLA-4 have been established as the most effective treatment for locally advanced or metastatic melanoma, achieving durable responses either as monotherapies or in combinatorial regimens...The recent approval of anti-LAG-3 ICI, relatlimab, in combination with nivolumab for metastatic disease, has capitalized on the extensive research in the field and has highlighted the potential for further improvement of melanoma prognosis by synergistically blocking additional immune targets with new ICI-doublets, antibody-drug conjugates, or other novel modalities...Beginning from their immunomodulatory properties as co-inhibitory or co-stimulatory receptors, we present all therapeutic modalities targeting these molecules that have been tested in melanoma treatment either in preclinical or clinical settings. Better understanding of the checkpoint-mediated crosstalk between melanoma and immune effector cells is essential for generating more effective strategies with augmented immune response.
