The Landmark Series: Neoadjuvant Systemic Therapy (NAST) for Stage 3 Melanoma Patients - A Potential Paradigm Shift in Management.

TL;DR: Patients who achieve pCR have improved prognosis, but pCR is not as reliable a predictor of improved outcome as pCR or near-pCR after neoadjuvant ICB, and ongoing studies should ideally be coordinated through the International Neoadjuant Melanoma Consortium to ensure maximal efficiency at improving outcomes.

Aloysia Citrodora Essential Oil Inhibits Melanoma Cell Growth and Migration by Targeting HB-EGF-EGFR Signaling

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of ALOC-EO on melanoma growth and tumor cell migration were investigated, and it was shown that ALOC E oil blocks EGFR and ERK1/2 signaling, with preclinical efficacy as a monotherapy or in combination with myelosuppressive drugs.

Double Trouble: Immunotherapy Doublets in Melanoma-Approved and Novel Combinations to Optimize Treatment in Advanced Melanoma.

TL;DR: The novel immune checkpoint inhibitor combination of nivolumab/relatlimab (anti-PD-1/anti-LAG3) showed improved progression-free survival compared with nivlumab alone in the first-line setting and was well tolerated; thus, it is likely this combination will be added to the armamentarium as a first- line treatment for advanced melanoma.

Phase I study of [131I] ICF01012, a targeted radionuclide therapy, in metastatic melanoma: MELRIV-1 protocol

TL;DR: The MELRIV-1 trial as discussed by the authors is an open-label, multicentric, dose-escalation phase I trial, which is divided in 2 steps, a selection part with an IV injection of low activity of [131I]ICF01012 (185 MBq at D0) to select patients who might benefit from [131 I]ICf01012 TRT in therapeutic part.

Healthcare resource utilization in patients with metastatic melanoma receiving first-line therapy with dabrafenib + trametinib versus nivolumab or pembrolizumab monotherapy

TL;DR: HRU during 1 L therapy was generally similar between patients initiated on D’ + T and N/P, Nonetheless, patients initiation on N/p had more outpatient visits, including more outpatient visit for reasons unrelated to drug administration.

A multiple testing procedure for clinical trials.

TL;DR: The overall size of the procedure is shown to be controlled with virtually the same accuracy as the single sample chi-square test based on N(m1 + m2) observations and the power is found to bevirtually the same.
