FDA event, NCCN guideline, Review, Journal, Checkpoint inhibition: Review of Indications of FDA-Approved Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors per NCCN Guidelines with the Level of Evidence. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 6, 2020 PD-1 inhibitors nivolumab, pembrolizumab, cemiplimab and PD-L1 inhibitors atezolizumab, avelumab, and durvalumab are in the current list of the approved agents in addition to ipilimumab. In this review paper, we discuss the role of each immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI), the landmark trials which led to their FDA approval, and the strength of the evidence per National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), which is broadly utilized by medical oncologists and hematologists in their daily practice.

PK/PD data, Review, Journal, PD(L)-1 Biomarker, IO Biomarker: Pharmacodynamics of current and emerging PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitors for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 13, 2020 However, apart from currently approved, recommended and employed agents (nivolumab, pembrolizumab, atezolizumab, durvalumab), several new agents are currently under development and investigation both in monotherapy and in combinational settings.Areas covered: This paper aims to discuss both the current state of the art and the most interesting emerging PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitors and their present and future role in metastatic NSCLC treatment.Expert opinion: Great scientific interest lies in combinational settings, involving both already developed FDA and EMA approved and not approved agents and anti PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitors, that will certainly provide data about pharmacodynamic and clinical properties of these associations, enhancing our understanding of ICIs and cancer immunotherapy. Moreover, new potential predictive biomarkers are much needed, especially considering the less decisive role of PD-L1 in treatment algorithms involving chemo-immune combinations and the current lack of other validated predictive biomarkers.
