Background
For patients with high-risk melanoma who are unresponsive or intolerant to immune checkpoint inhibitors, cancer vaccines may provide benefit with a favorable toxicity profile. CD4+ T cells provide essential help to dendritic cells (DCs) for…
Background
Patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC) often respond to cytotoxic therapy, but early disease progression is typical. Responses to immunotherapy alone are rare. Recent advances in chemoimmunotherapy combinations of…
Background
Canine oral malignant melanoma (OMM) is a highly aggressive tumor, with several available treatment options, though few achieve durable response or complete remission. Because of its biological similarity to human mucosal melanoma, canine O…
Background
Atypical tumor response patterns associated with immunotherapies pose significant challenges for assessing treatment response and clinical decision-making. We characterized the epidemiology, clinical impact, and molecular determinants of ps…
Background
Given the success of checkpoint inhibitor therapy in the advanced Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) setting, there is interest in exploring immunotherapy as a neoadjuvant approach. We report the primary results of a neoadjuvant study of lenvatini…
Background
While adipose tissue constitutes a substantial proportion of breast composition, the functional characteristics and pathological relevance of the adipocyte microenvironment in breast carcinogenesis remain undercharacterized. This study empl…
Background
Patients with platinum-resistant/refractory ovarian cancer (PROC) experience suboptimal outcomes, highlighting an immediate need for novel therapies. This phase 1b study investigated the safety and efficacy of botensilimab (BOT), a fragment…
Background
Accurate preoperative prediction of pathological complete response (pCR) following neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy (nCIT) could help individualize treatment for patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). This study aimed to dev…
Purpose
Combinations of immune checkpoint inhibitors and cytokine therapies have shown promise in cancer immunotherapy. We aimed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of recombinant human interleukin-15 (rhIL-15) in combinatio…
Background
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are increasingly used in adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer; however, data on treatment response, the frequency and pattern of immune-related adverse events (irAEs), and the feasibility of IC…
