Immune checkpoint inhibitors for the treatment of melanoma

TL;DR: The results obtained with ICI-based therapy in melanoma treatment are summarized and the need of additional studies to confirm the efficacy of therapies is emphasized, which combine different classes of ICIs as well as ICIs with other types of therapies.

Different patterns of treatment-related adverse events of programmed cell death-1 and its ligand-1 inhibitors in different cancer types: A meta-analysis and systemic review of clinical trials.

TL;DR: Clinicians could estimate the risk of certain AE in certain cancer type, to make treatment options and to customize monitor strategies, and found that the most frequent AEs were fatigue, rash/pruritus, loss of appetite/nausea and diarrhea.

Using a Benefit–Risk Analysis Approach to Capture Regulatory Decision Making: Melanoma

TL;DR: Twenty-five US Food and Drug Administration decisions on melanoma drugs were identified and analyzed based on clinical trial results published between 1999 and 2017 and the associated FDA decision outcomes were consistent with the benefits and risks quantified.

Fatal adverse events associated with programmed cell death protein 1 or programmed cell death-ligand 1 monotherapy in cancer:

TL;DR: Compared with conventional treatment, PD-1/PD-L1 blockade monotherapy is associated with a significantly reduced risk of mortality in patients with solid tumors, and further studies were unlikely to alter this conclusion.

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.
