Microenvironmental alkalization promotes the therapeutic effects of MSLN-CAR-T cells

21 de October de 2024 by Wu, M., Mao, L., Zhai, X., Liu, J., Wang, J., Li, L., Duan, J., Wang, J., Lin, S., Li, J., Yu, S.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is characterized by high invasion, prone metastasis, frequent recurrence and poor prognosis. Unfortunately, the curative effects of current clinical therapies, including surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and immu…

Perioperative chemoimmunotherapy induces strong immune responses and long-term survival in patients with HLA class I-deficient non-small cell lung cancer

21 de October de 2024 by

Background
Loss of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I expression and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) are common events implicated in the primary resistance of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to immunotherapy. However, there is no data on perioperat…

Interferon-induced factor 16 is essential in metastatic melanoma to maintain STING levels and the immune responses upon IFN-{gamma} response pathway activation

18 de October de 2024 by Kobayashi, Y., Bustos, M. A., Hayashi, Y., Yu, Q., Hoon, D.

Background
Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICIs)-based therapies are the standard of care treatment for patients with metastatic melanoma (MM). The stimulator of interferon genes (STING) signaling pathway is critical in controlling immune responses to IC…

First-in-human clinical outcomes with NG-350A, an anti-CD40 expressing tumor-selective vector designed to remodel immunosuppressive tumor microenvironments

16 de October de 2024 by Naing, A., Khalil, D., Rosen, O., Camidge, D. R., Lillie, T., Ji, R.-R., Stacey, A., Thomas, M., Rosen, L.

Background
Tumor-selective oncolytic viral vectors are promising anticancer therapeutics; however, challenges with dosing and potency in advanced/metastatic cancers have limited efficacy and usage. NG-350A is a next-generation blood-stable adenoviral …

Correction: Phase I studies of davoceticept (ALPN-202), a PD-L1-dependent CD28 co-stimulator and dual PD-L1/CTLA-4 inhibitor, as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab in advanced solid tumors (NEON-1 and NEON-2)

SAIL66, a next generation CLDN6-targeting T-cell engager, demonstrates potent antitumor efficacy through dual binding to CD3/CD137

15 de October de 2024 by

Background
Ovarian cancer remains a formidable challenge in oncology, necessitating innovative therapeutic approaches. Claudin-6 (CLDN6), a member of the tight junction molecule CLDN family, exhibits negligible expression in healthy tissues but displa…

Intratumoral STING agonist reverses immune evasion in PD-(L)1-refractory Merkel cell carcinoma: mechanistic insights from detailed biomarker analyses

15 de October de 2024 by

Background
Antibodies blocking programmed death (PD)-1 or its ligand (PD-L1) have revolutionized cancer care, but many patients do not experience durable benefits. Novel treatments to stimulate antitumor immunity are needed in the PD-(L)1 refractory s…

Cancer-associated foam cells hamper protective T cell immunity and favor tumor progression in human colon carcinogenesis

12 de October de 2024 by

Background
Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a significant healthcare burden worldwide, characterized by a complex interplay between obesity and chronic inflammation. While the relationship between CRC, obesity and altered lipid metabolism is not fully …

Targeted inhibition of the IL5 axis for immune checkpoint inhibitors eosinophilic-induced adverse events

12 de October de 2024 by Rubin, L., Talmon, A., Ribak, Y., Lavie, D., Nechushtan, H., Caplan, N., Lotem, M., Shamriz, O., Adini, I., Tal, Y.

Given the broad implementation of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) for cancer therapy, we encounter a variety of immune-related adverse events (irAE) including immune-related blood eosinophilia. Eosinophilia demonstrated a potential positive predict…

Inhibition of PNCK inflames tumor microenvironment and sensitizes head and neck squamous cell carcinoma to immune checkpoint inhibitors

12 de October de 2024 by Ding, Q., Weng, Y., Li, Y., Lin, W., Lin, X., Lin, T., Yang, H., Xu, W., Wang, J., Ying, H., Qiu, S.

Background
The landscape of the tumor microenvironment (TME) is intricately linked to the development of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and significantly influences immunotherapy efficacy. Recent research has underscored the pivotal rol…
