The KEYNOTE-158 phase 2 trial aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of pembro in Chinese descent patients with MSI-H/dMMR tumors. The primary endpoint was to determine ORR. Researchers noticed that pembro demonstrated clinically meaningful antitumor activity and durable responses in Chinese patients with MSI-H/dMMR tumors. The multicohort KEYNOTE-158 trial played a pivotal […]...

PARP inhibitors enhance antitumor immune responses by triggering pyroptosis via TNF-caspase 8-GSDMD/E axis in ovarian cancer

PARP inhibitors enhance antitumor immune responses by triggering pyroptosis via TNF-caspase 8-GSDMD/E axis in ovarian cancer

Background In addition to their established action of synthetic lethality in tumor cells, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPis) also orchestrate tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) that contributes to suppressing tumor growth. However, it remains not fully understood whether …

Toripalimab in combination with HBM4003, an anti-CTLA-4 heavy chain-only antibody, in advanced melanoma and other solid tumors: an open-label phase I trial

Toripalimab in combination with HBM4003, an anti-CTLA-4 heavy chain-only antibody, in advanced melanoma and other solid tumors: an open-label phase I trial

Background HBM4003 is a novel anti-CTLA-4 heavy chain-only antibody, designed to enhance Treg ablation and antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity while ensuring a manageable safety profile. This phase I trial investigated the safety, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity and preliminary efficacy …

Lower frequencies of circulating suppressive regulatory T cells and higher frequencies of CD4+ naïve T cells at baseline are associated with severe immune-related adverse events in immune checkpoint inhibitor-treated melanoma

Lower frequencies of circulating suppressive regulatory T cells and higher frequencies of CD4+ naïve T cells at baseline are associated with severe immune-related adverse events in immune checkpoint inhibitor-treated melanoma

Background Immune-related adverse events (irAEs) are major barriers of clinical management and further development of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) for cancer therapy. Therefore, biomarkers associated with the onset of severe irAEs are needed. In this study, …
