Purpose
Squamous non-small cell lung cancer (sq-NSCLC) is a distinct subtype of NSCLC. This exploratory, phase II study investigated the feasibility and efficacy of a four-cycle perioperative regimen combining serplulimab with a taxane (paclitaxel or …
Background
Small cell neuroendocrine prostate cancer (SCNC) is a lethal subset of prostate cancer with limited treatment options. Talabostat, an oral small molecule inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidases (DPP4 and DPP 8/9) triggers the inflammasome to ale…
Background
NKG2A is a C-type lectin that heterodimerizes with CD94 creating an inhibitory immunoreceptor. S095029 is a fully human monoclonal IgG1 anti-NKG2A antibody with attenuated Fc-effector functions that specifically binds the NKG2A/CD94 heterod…
Background
Nivolumab plus ipilimumab (COMBO) is the standard treatment for asymptomatic melanoma brain metastases (MBM), but current guidelines do not provide specific recommendations for treatment discontinuation in responding patients. This study ai…
Background
The cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor palbociclib delays disease progression in dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS) by inducing tumor cell quiescence or senescence, though most tumors ultimately progress. Preclinical data …
Background
Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a preinvasive form of breast cancer. Current treatment consists of surgery, radiation, and often systemic therapy exposing patients to unnecessary health risks. Vaccines targeting DCIS may be a way to inte…
Background
Grade group 5 (GG5) prostate cancer (PCa) carries a less favorable prognosis after standard-of-care (SOC) therapy, necessitating novel therapeutic approaches. High-dose rate brachytherapy (HDRBT) and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) may m…
Aging causes gradual and significant declines in immune functions and responses. However, the impact of aging on the immunotherapy outcomes in advanced renal cell carcinoma is largely unknown. Here, we conducted a pooled analysis of individual partici…
Background
We previously reported a trial using pembrolizumab with a DNA vaccine encoding prostatic acid phosphatase (pTVG-HP) in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Favorable clinical outcomes were associated with T…
Background
Although immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have long half-lives, preclinical and retrospective clinical studies across multiple tumor types suggest that the time-of-day of ICI infusion may influence therapeutic efficacy by aligning initia…
