Journal, Tumor Mutational Burden, PD(L)-1 Biomarker, IO biomarker: Immunologic Characteristics of Nonmelanoma Skin Cancers: Implications for Immunotherapy. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 27, 2020 Specifically, pembrolizumab and avelumab are U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved for treatment of metastatic MCC and cemiplimab for metastatic CSCC. Several ongoing trials are investigating novel immunotherapies (monotherapies as well as combination) for treatment of NMSCs.

[VIRTUAL] Phase 2 Trial of Controlled IL-12 in Combination with PD-1 Inhibitor in Adult Subjects with Recurrent Glioblastoma (rGBM) () - Oct 24, 2020 - Abstract #SNO2020SNO_20; P2 Ad-RTS-hIL-12 (Ad) is a gene therapy candidate for intratumoral (IT) delivery that conditionally expresses IL-12 (IL-12) under the transcriptional control of orally administered veledimex (V) acting via the RheoSwitch Therapeutic Systemâ gene switch...This phase 2 trial (NCT04006119) in adults with rGBM is evaluating safety and efficacy (overall survival) of Ad + V with pre/post-operative cemiplimab-rwlc (cemi) 350 mg IV, Days -7, 15, then Q3W; Ad single IT injection (2 x 1011 viral particles, day of resection (Day 0) /craniotomy); and V (20 mg PO, Days 0-14)...V crossed the blood-brain barrier to produce functional IL-12. Controlled IL-12 therapy and cemi is a rational combination with initial data consistent with immune-mediated anti-tumor effects with a favorable safety profile.

[VIRTUAL] Combination of Controlled Interleukin-12 Gene Therapy with Immune Checkpoint Blockade in Recurrent Glioblastoma: Updated Results of a Multi-Institutional, Open Label Phase 1 Trial () - Oct 24, 2020 - Abstract #SNO2020SNO_15; P1 A published clinical trial of veledimex (V)-regulatable interleukin-12 (IL-12) gene therapy (“Controlled IL-12”) under the control of a transcriptional switch (RheoSwitch Therapeutic Systemâ, RTSâ) as monotherapy in recurrent glioblastoma (rGBM) showed sustained infiltration of activated T cells within the tumor months after treatment (Sci Transl Med...These T cells demonstrated up-regulation of immune checkpoint signaling, providing a rationale for combination therapy with the PD-1 inhibitor, nivolumab (nivo)...Baseline and post-treatment histochemical staining and multiplex immunofluorescence analyses for a subgroup of subjects will be discussed. The safety of this combination immunotherapy has been established, leading to a currently accruing phase 2 clinical trial of loco-regional Controlled IL-12 gene therapy in combination with the PD-1 inhibitor cemiplimab-rwlc (NCT 04006119).

Notably, 84.8% of patients who develop AKI after ICI therapy have a non-ICI-related etiology, and no patient in our cohort of 46 patients underwent renal biopsy, highlighting the need for blood-based biomarker development for immune-related nephritis.
