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...

Prognostic and Predictive Value of PBRM1 in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma

TL;DR: The present article reviews the current evidence on PBRM1 as potential prognostic and predictive marker in both localized and metastatic RCC and identifies additional recurrently mutated genes, such as P BRM1, which is a component of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex.

Low CD8+ T Cell Infiltration and High PD-L1 Expression Are Associated with Level of CD44+/CD133+ Cancer Stem Cells and Predict an Unfavorable Prognosis in Pancreatic Cancer

TL;DR: An interaction among CD8+ T cells infiltration, PD-L1 expression, and CD44+/CD133+ CSCs existence is highlighted, which contributes to PC progression and immune evasion.

Multiple sclerosis outcomes after cancer immunotherapy

TL;DR: Reported MS relapses after ICI are rare, but the adverse events described include rapid neurologic progression and death, and larger and prospective studies are warranted to assess disability and long-term outcomes and outweigh the risks of starting immunotherapy in patients with MS.
