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...

Multivalent bi-specific nanobioconjugate engager for targeted cancer immunotherapy

TL;DR: Although the initial immune activation mediated by the mBiNE was receptor dependent, the subsequent antitumour immunity also generated protective effects against tumour-cell populations that lacked the HER2 receptor.

Nivolumab for advanced melanoma: pretreatment prognostic factors and early outcome markers during therapy.

TL;DR: Clinical findings of 98 consecutive patients with unresectable stage III or IV melanoma treated with nivolumab between July 2014 and July 2016 are retrospectively analyzed to find early markers associated with OS that might have minimal efficacy in patients with a massive tumor burden.

Management of patients with recurrent/advanced cervical cancer beyond first line platinum regimens: Where do we stand? A literature review

TL;DR: Progress in the management of recurrent and advanced cervical cancer patients has been slow and restricted to palliative intent, and patients with locally recurrent and metastatic disease after platinum failure should be considered for clinical trials of novel targeted agents and/or immunotherapy.
