Tumour-infiltrating lymphocyte therapy has shown durable responses in refractory melanoma, including a 31.4% objective response rate in phase II data. The 2024 FDA approval of Lifileucel marked a milestone as regulators in other markets continue reviews.
TMEM87A was identified as a mediator of ferroptosis resistance through buffering Golgi pH. In murine tumor models, TMEM87A ablation suppressed tumor progression and potentiated PD1 blockade therapy.
Study finds advanced melanoma patients with sufficient vitamin D levels showed better response rates and longer survival when receiving anti-PD-1 immunotherapy compared to those with low vitamin D status.
Recent studies demonstrate PD-1 antibody combinations improve survival in natural killer/T-cell lymphoma and show activity in previously treated advanced non-small cell lung cancer, with manageable safety profiles across treatment settings.
A study published in Nature Microbiology demonstrates that a defined consortium of 15 gut bacterial species derived from immunotherapy responders significantly enhances anti-PD-1 treatment efficacy in mouse models of non-small-cell lung cancer.
CStone Pharmaceuticals has received FDA clearance for its IND application to initiate a Phase II trial of CS2009, a trispecific antibody targeting PD-1, VEGFA, and CTLA-4, in patients with advanced solid tumors across nine cancer indications.
