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...

Predictive factors for hyperprogressive disease during nivolumab as anti-PD1 treatment in patients with advanced gastric cancer

TL;DR: Hyperprogressive disease was observed in AGC patients treated with nivolumab and correlated with some clinicopathological characteristics and Elevations in ANC and CRP levels upon treatment might indicate HPD.

Immune‐Related Adverse Events as a Biomarker in Non‐Melanoma Patients Treated with Programmed Cell Death 1 Inhibitors

TL;DR: Positive associations between the development of irAEs and clinical outcomes in non-melanoma patients treated with PD-1 CKIs are demonstrated, indicating that for a subset of patients, in particular those with low-grade immune-related adverse events, immune- related adverse events predicted for an improved response rate and longer time to next therapy or death.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials found approved PD-1 inhibitors are well tolerated, associated with significant low risk of severe treatment-related AEs and increased risk of thyroid dysfunction, pruritus, and vitiligo.
