The KEYNOTE-177 phase 3 trial aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of pembrolizumab from the payer’s perspective. Despite treatment variations, the results revealed pembrolizumab’s cost-effectiveness over chemotherapy at a 15 million/QALY threshold. Pembrolizumab significantly prolonged progression-free survival compared to chemotherapy for patients with advanced colorectal cancer with MSI-High or dMMR. Taniguchi S and the […]...

Lower frequencies of circulating suppressive regulatory T cells and higher frequencies of CD4+ naïve T cells at baseline are associated with severe immune-related adverse events in immune checkpoint inhibitor-treated melanoma
Lower frequencies of circulating suppressive regulatory T cells and higher frequencies of CD4+ naïve T cells at baseline are associated with severe immune-related adverse events in immune checkpoint inhibitor-treated melanoma
Background Immune-related adverse events (irAEs) are major barriers of clinical management and further development of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) for cancer therapy. Therefore, biomarkers associated with the onset of severe irAEs are needed. In this study, …
1222 Antigen-specific delivery of TCR and costimulatory signals by a protein scaffold selectively activates and markedly expands naïve MART-1-specific CD8+ T cells
1222 Antigen-specific delivery of TCR and costimulatory signals by a protein scaffold selectively activates and markedly expands naïve MART-1-specific CD8+ T cells
Background Adoptive cell transfer (ACT) shows promise as an immunotherapy for melanoma and other cancers. However, there are several challenges associated with ACT such as the logistical complexity and inconsistency when using patient-derived antigen-presenting cells for …
890 Nivolumab plus ipilimumab in anti-PD(L)-1 naïve and experienced HCC patients -- single institute experience in Taiwan
890 Nivolumab plus ipilimumab in anti-PD(L)-1 naïve and experienced HCC patients -- single institute experience in Taiwan
Background Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are standard therapy for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the efficacy of combining nivolumab and ipilimumab in Anti-PD(L)-1 Naïve and Experienced HCC patients remains unclear. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 23 patients with advanced …
778 TILVANCE-301, a phase 3 study of lifileucel tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) cell therapy combined with pembrolizumab (pembro) vs pembro alone in treatment-naïve unresectable or metastatic melanoma
778 TILVANCE-301, a phase 3 study of lifileucel tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) cell therapy combined with pembrolizumab (pembro) vs pembro alone in treatment-naïve unresectable or metastatic melanoma
Background Novel early-line therapies for advanced (unresectable or metastatic) melanoma are needed to improve the rate of deep and durable responses and increase the proportion of patients with long-term benefit. TILVANCE-301 will evaluate the efficacy and …
