Background
Based on the phase 3 PRODIGY study, neoadjuvant docetaxel, oxaliplatin, and S-1 (DOS) have emerged as a viable treatment option for Asian patients with resectable locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC). This phase 2 study evaluated the effi…
Background
Clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of bispecific antibodies in eliciting potent antitumor responses by redirecting T cells to target cancer cells, particularly for the treatment of hematologic malignancies. However, their effica…
Background
Some patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) despite programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression. To address the mechanism of ICI resistance in PD-L1-positive NSCLC, we investigated…
Background
Data on the safety profiles and clinical outcomes of patients with solid tumors and cardiac metastasis treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are limited.
Methods
This is an international multicenter retrospective study of patien…
Background
Hypoxia is associated with the evasion of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) from immune surveillance. Hypoxia increases the subpopulation of putative TNBC stem-like cells (TNBCSCs) through activating Wnt/β-Catenin signaling. The she…
Background
Higher levels of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in breast cancers are associated with increased likelihood of pathologic complete response (pCR) to chemotherapy. DNA methyltransferase inhibitors (DNMTi) can augment immune responses t…
Background
Preclinical evidence suggests that cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) inhibitors enhance antitumor immunity. We conducted a phase I trial of ribociclib (CDK4/6 inhibitor) plus spartalizumab (PD-1 inhibitor) in patients with hormone r…
Background and aims
Corticosteroid is effective in alleviating immune-related adverse events (irAEs) of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). However, prophylactic use of corticosteroid to prevent irAEs is not recommended due to a looming concern that it …
Background
Patients with microsatellite stable (MSS) colorectal cancer (CRC) often display resistance to immunotherapy. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-targeted therapies have shown potential in enhancing immunotherapy, yet clinical benefits r…
Background
Nivolumab plus ipilimumab (nivo/ipi) is a standard of care first-line (1 L) therapy for patients with metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), but its role in patients with metastatic, non-ccRCC has not been fully defined. We rep…
