Mashup Score: 3Improving immune checkpoint inhibitors' anti-tumor response and minimizing side effects - 11 month(s) ago
Scientists at Tohoku University have discovered a novel approach that improves the efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB)—a novel form of cancer treatment utilizing immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs)—and minimizes the associated side effects. They demonstrated that using ICIs to target tumor-positive lymph nodes generates a robust anti-tumor response against both local and systemic…

Mashup Score: 0Physician Awareness of Immune-Related Adverse Events of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors - 1 year(s) ago
Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been proven to be very effective in the treatment of multiple cancers. They have a unique side-effect profile distinct from conventional chemotherapy that can manifest as immune-related adverse events (irAEs). With expanding ICI use, clinicians will increasingly encounter irAEs, and thus adequate physician knowledge on their recognition and…

Mashup Score: 0
Recent data support incorporation of immune checkpoint inhibitors into the treatment armamentarium for esophageal, gastroesophageal junction, and gastric (esophagogastric) cancer. This practical review focuses on clinical trials that influenced US Food and Drug Administration approvals and treatment guidelines in esophagogastric cancer, including the impact of location, stage, histology, human…

Mashup Score: 3Outcomes of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Administration in Hospitalized Patients With Solid Tumor Malignancies - 1 year(s) ago
PURPOSE: More oncologists desire to treat their patients with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in the inpatient setting as their use has become more widespread for numerous oncologic indications. This is cost-prohibitive to patients and institutions because of high drug cost and lack of reimbursement in the inpatient setting. We sought to examine current practice of inpatient ICI…

Mashup Score: 3Alternative dosing strategies for immune checkpoint inhibitors to improve cost-effectiveness: a special focus on nivolumab and pembrolizumab - 1 year(s) ago
Immune checkpoint inhibitors have revolutionised cancer treatment by offering durable responses to many patients with solid and haematological cancers. The high prices and increasing use of immune checkpoint inhibitors put considerable strain on health-care budgets globally. This financial strain could jeopardise patients’ access to these anti-cancer therapies. However, substantial evidence…

Mashup Score: 0Immune-Related Adverse Events Among COVID-19–Vaccinated Patients With Cancer Receiving Immune Checkpoint Blockade - 2 year(s) ago
Background: Whether COVID-19 vaccination and the associated immune response increases susceptibility to immune-related adverse events (irAEs) among patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) remains unknown. Short-term follow-up can assess the safety of concurrent administration of the vaccine and ICI treatment. Methods: We conducted an electronic health record analysis of a cohort…

Mashup Score: 3Immune checkpoint inhibitors in kidney transplant recipients: a multicentre, single-arm, phase 1 study - 2 year(s) ago
Maintaining baseline immunosuppression before treatment with an immune checkpoint inhibitor in kidney transplant recipients might not affect expected efficacy and might reduce the risk of allograft rejection mediated by immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Mashup Score: 0Epigenetic promoter alterations in GI tumour immune-editing and resistance to immune checkpoint inhibition - 2 year(s) ago
Objectives Epigenomic alterations in cancer interact with the immune microenvironment to dictate tumour evolution and therapeutic response. We aimed to study the regulation of the tumour immune microenvironment through epigenetic alternate promoter use in gastric cancer and to expand our findings to other gastrointestinal tumours. Design Alternate promoter burden (APB) was quantified using a…
