P2 A recently conducted trial (COSMIC-313) showed superior efficacy with a triplet combination of cabozantinib, nivolumab, and ipilimumab when compared to a placebo, nivolumab, and ipilimumab but at the cost of additional toxicity. Many other combination treatments, such as pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib plus belzutifan (NCT04976634), are being investigated, possibly leading to more options in the first-line setting in the future.

Journal, IO biomarker, Metastases: Mechanisms of response and resistance to combined decitabine and ipilimumab for advanced myeloid disease. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 17, 2023 P1 Altogether, activity of combined decitabine and ipilimumab is impacted by cellular expression states within the microenvironmental niche of leukemia cells. The inadequate elimination of leukemic progenitors mandates urgent development of novel approaches for targeting these cell populations to generate long-lasting responses.

Clinical, Journal, Adverse events, Checkpoint inhibition, Metastases: Cardiovascular Immunotoxicity Associated with Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in Metastatic Melanoma. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 13, 2023 Our study underlines that checkpoint inhibitors used for melanoma increase CVAEs, especially dyslipidemia, which could pave the way to chronic inflammatory processes, atherosclerosis, and, finally, ischemic cardiopathy. These cardiovascular adverse events could be acute or delayed, justifying the monitoring of lipidic biology and a baseline cardiology consultation.

Downstaging hepatocellular carcinoma with checkpoint inhibitor therapy safely improves access to curative liver transplantation: a case series (Poster Area) - Apr 12, 2023 - Abstract #EASLILC2023EASL_ILC_1115; The 3 cases who ultimately received a liver transplant demonstrated no evidence of rejection or recurrence up to 2 years post-transplant. Future studies are needed to further assess the outcomes of a larger sample size as well as evaluate areas of interest, such as optimal timing of CPIT discontinuation prior to transplant and to assess whether novel tumor biomarkers may provide insight into which patients will respond to this intervention.

Bio-active lipids protect against immune-related adverse events due to immune checkpoint blockade therapy (P514) (Exhibit Hall; Poster Board No. P514) - Apr 11, 2023 - Abstract #IMMUNOLOGY2023IMMUNOLOGY_1192; Our recent study of plasma from patients undergoing ipilimumab (anti-CTLA4) or pembrolizumab (anti-PD1) therapy for melanoma, lung cancer or other solid tumors was assessed using high-resolution liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. These results uncover a previously unidentified regulatory mechanism whereby the identified lipids in circulation specifically suppress deleterious inflammation during ICB therapy, while preserving anti-tumor immunity, suggesting that supplementation of bio-active lipids can be developed as a new therapeutic strategy to improve clinical outcomes in cancer immunotherapy.

However, in an important breakthrough for patients with nasopharyngeal cancer, the JUPITER-02 trial, conducted in China, Singapore, and Taiwan among patients with predominantly Epstein-Barr virus-related cancers, demonstrated a significant improvement in PFS (hazard ratio, 0.52) when toripalimab was added to gemcitabine/cisplatin chemotherapy. Immature survival data indicate overall survival will likely also be impacted.

Additional randomized, double-blind, multicenter clinical trials are needed to confirm these results.
