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...

The Lung Immune Prognostic Index Discriminates Survival Outcomes in Patients with Solid Tumors Treated with Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors.

TL;DR: Data are the first to suggest that in a real-world setting, the prognostic value of LIPI may be tumor agnostic, as well as to investigate its applicability beyond NSCLC.

Oncogenic signaling pathways associated with immune evasion and resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors in cancer.

TL;DR: This review highlighted several oncogenic signaling pathways including receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), RAS-RAF-MAPK, PI3K-AKT-mTOR, JAK-STAT, Hippo, and Wnt pathways, and summarized the recent findings of the mechanisms underlying the regulation of cancer immunity and the ICI resistance induced by these aberrant oncogens.
