Review, Journal, Checkpoint inhibition: Beyond checkpoint inhibitors: the three generations of immunotherapy. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 31, 2025 Following the approval of the first checkpoint inhibitor ipilimumab against CTLA-4 in melanoma in 2011, there has been a rapid development of tumor immunotherapy...In order to better understand the mechanism of action of all major classes of immunotherapy, design clinical trials taking advantage of different types of immunotherapeutic agents and use them rationally in clinical practice either in combination or in sequence, we propose the group all immunotherapies into three generations: with CTLA-4, PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitors as the first generation, agents that target the checkpoint modulators as the second generation, while those that target TME as the third generation. This review discusses all three generations of immunotherapy in oncology, their mechanism of actions, major clinical trial results and indication, strategies for future clinical trial designs and rational clinical applications.

Clinical data, Journal, Checkpoint inhibition: Immune checkpoint inhibitor infusion times and clinical outcomes in patients with melanoma. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 31, 2025 Given the rarity and poor prognosis of primary malignant melanoma of the esophagus, this case provides valuable insights for treatment strategies. Late immunotherapy infusion times were associated with inferior outcomes when considering all infusions, but not when considering initial (first 4) infusions.

These findings highlight insights for considering specific strains and engineered probiotic applications, preferred doses and timing of treatment, and personalized therapies to enhance the efficacy of cancer therapy. Accordingly, targeted interventions and guidelines establishment needs extensive randomized controlled trials as probiotic-based cancer therapy has not been approved by Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Journal: Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) Following Immune Checkpoint Therapy (ICT). (Pubmed Central) - Jan 16, 2025 The diagnosis of HLH is a challenge due to nonspecific symptoms and overlap with other systemic conditions, which can lead to delays in receiving appropriate treatment and potentially poor patient outcomes. This case illustrates the management of HLH caused by nivolumab plus ipilimumab combination therapy through the use of corticosteroids and tocilizumab in a patient with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

Brief comments on other alternatives in development such as interferon-alpha, interleukin-12, ipilimumab and intralesional daromun are presented...It has also been described in a few papers that non-injected lesions may respond after the application of a local therapy in distant skin-metastases. Many of these intralesional treatments are being combined in different investigations with systemic immunotherapies, with the aim of obtaining synergic responses in those patients with refractory disease.

(Pubmed Central) - Jan 9, 2025 Although combination treatment significantly improved progression-free survival in NSCLC patients, it was also associated with a greater risk of adverse events and treatment-related mortality than nivolumab monotherapy. The current evidence is insufficient for choosing combination treatment over nivolumab monotherapy.
