In patients who progress on hedgehog inhibitors or cannot tolerate hedgehog inhibitors, the programmed cell death protein 1 inhibitor cemiplimab can be used to treat locally advanced or metastatic disease. Complex cases of locally advanced or metastatic BCC may be best discussed through a multidisciplinary approach in order to determine the optimal treatment approach for the individual patient.

Enrollment change, Trial termination: Isatuximab in Combination With REGN2810 (Cemiplimab) in Patients With Advanced Malignancies (clinicaltrials.gov) - May 16, 2022 P1/2, N=44, Terminated, Complex cases of locally advanced or metastatic BCC may be best discussed through a multidisciplinary approach in order to determine the optimal treatment approach for the individual patient. N=134 --> 44 | Completed --> Terminated; The study was stopped after interim analysis indicated that overall result was not sufficient to satisfy per-protocol criteria to move forward in metastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cohorts.

Review, Journal, Tumor Mutational Burden, PD(L)-1 Biomarker: High-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC): Challenges and emerging therapies. (Pubmed Central) - May 14, 2022 The response rate varies based on the patient, although there is still a lack of proof. This article discusses the misconception that CSCC is a tumor with a favorable prognosis, as well as the difficulties in treating high-risk CSCC.

Although DR is also associated with treatment efficacy and a favorable prognosis, it is different from pseudoprogression, which has concordant progressive lesions and can be regularly captured by immune RECIST. This review article aims to comprehensively determine the frequency, definition, radiological evaluation, probable molecular mechanisms, prognosis, and clinical management of immune-related DR and help clinicians and radiologists objectively and correctly interpret this specific atypical response and better understand and manage cancer patients with immunotherapy and guarantee their best clinical benefit.

Journal, CAR T-Cell Therapy, PD(L)-1 Biomarker, IO biomarker: Pressure increases PD-L1 expression in A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells and causes resistance to anti-ROR1 CAR T cell-mediated cytotoxicity. (Pubmed Central) - May 6, 2022 In xenograft mice, pressure preconditioning increases tumorigenesis of A549 cells, which can be blocked by a combined therapy using Pembrolizumab and αROR1-CAR T cells. Together, our studies suggest that elevated pressure in the tumor microenvironment could blunt the T cell therapy by upregulating PD-L1 expression, which could be overcome by combining CAR T therapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Review, Journal, Combination therapy, PD(L)-1 Biomarker, IO biomarker: Application of Approved Cisplatin Derivatives in Combination Therapy against Different Cancer Diseases. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 30, 2022 An important approach for overcoming the drug resistance and reduction of toxicity of Cisplatin derivatives is the application of nanocarriers (polymers and liposomes), which provide improved targeted delivery, increased intracellular penetration, selective accumulation in tumor tissue, and enhanced therapeutic efficacy. The advantages of combination therapy are maximum removal of tumor cells in different phases; prevention of resistance; inhibition of the adaptation of tumor cells and their mutations; and reduction of toxicity.
