TLDR
The final protocol-specified survival analysis as mentioned in this paper showed that pembrolizumab continued to provide superior overall survival versus ipilimumab, with no difference between the two dosing schedules.

The Differences in the Safety and Tolerability of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors as Treatment for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer and Melanoma: Network Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review.

TL;DR: A systematic review and network meta-analysis of treatment-related AEs in clinical trials using different kinds of ICIs showed that atezolizumab 1,200 mg and pembrolizumAB 2 mg/kg every 3 weeks were generally more tolerable than other ICIs, and ICIs did not present preferable safety and tolerability compared to chemotherapy in treating melanoma.

From Melanoma Development to RNA-Modified Dendritic Cell Vaccines: Highlighting the Lessons From the Past.

TL;DR: In this article, the main oncogenic pathways of melanoma and the cross-talk between these pathways with indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase, tumoral immune checkpoints, and myeloid-derived suppressor cells are discussed.

Current Immunotherapy Practices in Melanoma.

TL;DR: Current and developing immunotherapies will increase surgeon involvement for resection of metastatic melanoma, whether for tumor harvests to generate autologous lymphocytes or for consolidating control of disease beyond what immunotherAPies alone can achieve.

Immune Checkpoint Blockade in Cancer Immunotherapy: Mechanisms, Clinical Outcomes, and Safety Profiles of PD-1/PD-L1 Inhibitors.

TL;DR: This review clarifies the mechanisms of PD-1/PD-L1-mediated anti-cancer immune responses and some clinical studies of mAbs targeting PD-2/2/3/4/5/6 as well as the challenges and future of PD/L1 blockade therapy.

Regression Models and Life-Tables

TL;DR: The analysis of censored failure times is considered in this paper, where the hazard function is taken to be a function of the explanatory variables and unknown regression coefficients multiplied by an arbitrary and unknown function of time.

The blockade of immune checkpoints in cancer immunotherapy

TL;DR: Preliminary clinical findings with blockers of additional immune-checkpoint proteins, such as programmed cell death protein 1 (PD1), indicate broad and diverse opportunities to enhance antitumour immunity with the potential to produce durable clinical responses.

Combined Nivolumab and Ipilimumab or Monotherapy in Untreated Melanoma.

TL;DR: Among previously untreated patients with metastatic melanoma, nivolumab alone or combined with ipilimumab resulted in significantly longer progression-free survival than ipILimumab alone, and in patients with PD-L1-negative tumors, the combination of PD-1 and CTLA-4 blockade was more effective than either agent alone.
