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...

Comparative safety of immune checkpoint inhibitors in cancer: systematic review and network meta-analysis

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provided a complete toxicity profile, toxicity spectrum, and a safety ranking of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) drugs for treatment of cancer, and compared with other ICI drugs used to treat cancer, atezolizumab had the best safety profile in general.

PD-1-PD-L1 immune-checkpoint blockade in B-cell lymphomas

TL;DR: The role of PD-1–PD-L1 blockade in unleashing host antitumour immune responses against various B-cell lymphomas is focused on, and the clinical studies of this approach performed to date are summarized.

Density of immunogenic antigens does not explain the presence or absence of the T-cell-inflamed tumor microenvironment in melanoma.

TL;DR: The results indicate that lack of spontaneous immune infiltration in solid tumors is unlikely to be due to lack of antigens, and strategies that improve T-cell infiltration into tumors may therefore be able to facilitate clinical response to immunotherapy once antIGens become recognized.

TL;DR: It is suggested that PD-L1 expression status alone is insufficient in determining which patients should be offered PD-1 or PD- L1 blockade therapy, which is a preferable treatment option over conventional therapy for both patients that are PD- l1 positive and PD-l1 negative.
