Journal, HEOR: Health Care Utilization and Costs in Systemic Therapies for Metastatic Melanoma from 2016 to 2020. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 21, 2023 Amid the evolving landscape of systemic therapy for advanced melanoma, nivolumab monotherapy emerged as the most used and least costly systemic treatment from 2016 to 2020. Its sharp increase in use in 2018 and lower costs relative to pembrolizumab may in part be due to earlier adoption of less frequent dosing intervals.

(Pubmed Central) - Mar 21, 2023 In patients with resected stage IIIB-C cutaneous melanoma in this ITC, nivolumab improved RFS versus placebo and ipilimumab, and OS versus placebo after post-recurrence survival adjustment. We describe here the first case of UPS-NF of the breast, which shows great clinical and histopathologic resemblances to previously reported UPS-NF of other anatomic localizations.

Review, Journal, Adverse events, Checkpoint inhibition: Mucocutaneous adverse events to immune checkpoint inhibitors. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 21, 2023 Since the approval of ipilimumab in 2011, a total of nine ICIs have gained indications for various solid and hematologic malignancies...Even though less than 3% of cutaneous irAEs (irCAEs) are classified as grade 3 or higher events, irCAEs can greatly impact quality of life. Appropriate management of irCAEs is critical to avoid unwarranted interruptions or discontinuation of lifesaving immunotherapy.

Journal: Nivolumab Plus Cabozantinib With or Without Ipilimumab for Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Results From Cohort 6 of the CheckMate 040 Trial. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 20, 2023 At 2-year minimum follow-up, first-line nivolumab plus ipilimumab with chemotherapy reduced the risk of definitive deterioration in disease-related symptom burden and health-related quality of life versus chemotherapy and maintained QoL in patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. Nivolumab plus cabozantinib with or without ipilimumab showed encouraging preliminary antitumor activity and had consistent safety profiles with those established for the individual drugs in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.

(Pubmed Central) - Mar 15, 2023 To our knowledge, this is the first report of an advanced PDAC case with sporadic dMMR, high TMB, and no Lynch Syndrome having a good response to immunotherapy. This case further supports TMB and high MSI/dMMR being possible biomarkers for immunotherapy of PDAC as well as highlights the importance of both germline and somatic testing of patients with PDAC.

The seven treatment drug strategies included atezolizumab + bevacizumab, avelumab + axitinib, pembrolizumab + axitinib, nivolumab + ipilimumab (NI), nivolumab + cabozantinib, lenvatinib + pembrolizumab, and sunitinib...In sensitivity analyses, this ICER fell below $150,000 USD/QALY if the initial 4-month cost of NI decreased by 22%-38%. NI was the most effective combination for mRCC, but at a willingness-to-pay threshold of $150,000 USD/QALY, sunitinib was the most cost-effective approach.

An angiogenic target of immune exclusion with checkpoint blockade in melanoma (Section 4; Poster Board #6) - Mar 14, 2023 - Abstract #AACR2023AACR_8828; Tumor biopsies from a phase I study with 46 advanced melanoma patients treated with Ipilimumab and Bevacizumab combination (Ipi-Bev) therapy, revealed activated endothelium accompanied by lymphocyte infiltration...The anti-EDIL3 response was also observed to be significantly (p=0.03) related to Ipi-Bev treatment when compared with patients treated with Ipilimumab alone, anti-PD1 therapy alone, or the combination of Ipilimumab and Nivolumab in a combined analysis...This study develops EDIL3 as a potential target to enhance cytotoxic immune responses and improve the outcomes of combination immune therapy. Studies are ongoing for targeted inhibition of EDIL3 with implications for therapeutic application to promote anti-tumor immunity.

Our findings emphasize the importance of spatial relationships in the TME for response and suggest that proximity between either macrophages or CD8+ T-cells to cancer cells are candidate biomarkers for ICI response.

An integrated immune signature predictive of adjuvant immunotherapeutic benefits for high-risk melanoma (Valencia A - Convention Center) - Mar 14, 2023 - Abstract #AACR2023AACR_7849; Introduction CTLA4 blockade with ipilimumab was more favorable than interferon-?2b (IFN) in high-risk melanoma in phase adjuvant III trial E1609...In addition, we determined that: i) higher age and higher L-IPI7 risk score identified patients with the worst OS and RFS And ii) female patients with a low L-IPI7 risk scores had a better OS and RFS.Conclusions We developed a broadly applicable model based on LASSO Cox Regression predictive of adjuvant ipi treatment outcomes in melanoma. Our L-IPI7 score based on expression of CXCL9, CD8A, CXCL10, INPP5D, IDO1, IGKC, IL2RB effectively predicts survival, with interactions with age, gender and on-treatment development of colitis.
