Nivolumab versus Everolimus in Advanced Renal-Cell Carcinoma

TLDR
Overall survival was longer and fewer grade 3 or 4 adverse events occurred with nivolumab than with everolimus among patients with previously treated advanced renal-cell carcinoma.
Abstract
BackgroundNivolumab, a programmed death 1 (PD-1) checkpoint inhibitor, was associated with encouraging overall survival in uncontrolled studies involving previously treated patients with advanced renal-cell carcinoma. This randomized, open-label, phase 3 study compared nivolumab with everolimus in patients with renal-cell carcinoma who had received previous treatment. MethodsA total of 821 patients with advanced clear-cell renal-cell carcinoma for which they had received previous treatment with one or two regimens of antiangiogenic therapy were randomly assigned (in a 1:1 ratio) to receive 3 mg of nivolumab per kilogram of body weight intravenously every 2 weeks or a 10-mg everolimus tablet orally once daily. The primary end point was overall survival. The secondary end points included the objective response rate and safety. ResultsThe median overall survival was 25.0 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 21.8 to not estimable) with nivolumab and 19.6 months (95% CI, 17.6 to 23.1) with everolimus. The haz...

Improved survival after cytoreductive nephrectomy for metastatic renal cell carcinoma in the contemporary immunotherapy era: An analysis of the National Cancer Database.

TL;DR: Using a large, national, registry-based cohort, the first report of survival outcomes in mRCC patients treated with CN combined with modern IO is provided, supporting an oncologic role for CN in the ICI era and providing preliminary evidence regarding the timing and safety of CN relative to IO administration.

Association between immune-related adverse events and prognosis in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma treated with nivolumab.

TL;DR: A retrospective study revealed a significant association between nivolumab-associated irAEs and prognosis in previously treated mRCC and further prospective studies are necessary to confirm the findings.

Clinical response to PD-1 blockade correlates with a sub-fraction of peripheral central memory CD4+ T cells in patients with malignant melanoma.

TL;DR: It is proposed that increases in this subset of central memory CD4+ T cells in peripheral blood can be potentially used as a predictor of clinical response to PD-1 blockade therapy in patients with malignant melanoma.

Programmed Cell Death 1 (PD-1) and Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte-Associated Antigen 4 (CTLA-4) in Viral Hepatitis.

TL;DR: It is suggested that PD-1 and CTLA-4 have protective effects as inhibitory molecules to suppress cytotoxic T cells which induce harmful destruction of viral infected hepatocytes in self-limited viral hepatitis.

Diagnosis and Management of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor‐Associated Neurologic Toxicity: Illustrative Case and Review of the Literature

TL;DR: Previous literature is reviewed to provide guidance to frequently asked questions concerning the diagnosis and management of neurologic irAEs in patients with advanced cancer and an illustrative case of a 67-year-old woman who presented with signs of a neurologIC irAE, including progressive dysphagia and weakness leading to falls.
