Given that no new immunotherapeutic drugs proved to be at least as effective as approved CTLA-4 and PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors during last years the focus of further immuno oncology (IO)development has shifted to the research on different drug combinations. Most of new immunotherapeutics are studied in combinations with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. This paper reviews most perspective targets for therapeutic manipulations currently studied in combinations with immune check-point inhibitors, such as Tim-3, LAG-3, TIGIT, OX-40, 4-1BB, STING, TGF-β, as well as some metabolic pathways. Also the principles of individualized biology-tailored approaches to IO drugs combining are discussed.

Check Point Inhibitors

Immune check point inhibitors (ICPIs) are a new class of anti-neoplastic agents being increasingly used by oncologists to treat various malignancies. These drugs have been associated with varied side effects and have a nephrotoxic potential. Many cases of ICPI induced acute kidney injury are increasingly being reported. Their use in CKD patients on dialysis as well as in kidney transplant recipients is associated with various challenges. This review discusses the use of ICPIs in CKD, dialysis and renal transplant patients and their nephrotoxic potential

Check Point Inhibitors

In head and neck cancer management, there is a need for tailored approaches to optimally implement clinical outcomes. Based on the assumption that efficacy and long-term toxicity are not satisfactory for standard concurrent platinum-based chemoradiotherapy, several trials have been designed to test whether induction immunotherapy and/or concomitant immunotherapy and radiotherapy result in improved survival and toxicity outcomes. Here, we present an overview of the most recent concomitant therapeutic strategies for head and neck cancer, focusing on the knowledge available regarding check-point inhibitors. The aim is to present the characteristics of the main check-point inhibitors and to summarize the clinical trials on the combination of immune check-point inhibitors and (chemo)radiotherapy in the definitive HNC setting, in order to provide a useful clinical tool for further research.

Immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors significantly improves the outcome for stage III and IV melanoma. Cutaneous adverse events during treatment are often reported. We herein aim to review the principal pigmentation changes induced by immune check-point inhibitors: the appearance of vitiligo, the Sutton phenomenon, melanosis and hair and nail toxicities.

Check Point Inhibitors

Check-point inhibitors have erupted as a treatment option for numerous kinds of neoplasms. Although there have been some achievements, the evidence supporting their use in breast cancer is scarce. Combinations with chemotherapy seem to provide better outcomes, and triple negative is the subtype most likely to benefit from them. New combination strategies are undergoing research to improve these results. Other approaches to determining biomarkers that identify which populations clearly benefit from these therapies are needed. Here, we review the clinical data of the role of immune check-point inhibitors in early and advanced breast cancer and present emerging strategies.

Introduction Although, immune check-point inhibitors changed the course of many cancers, the outcomes in sarcomas were rather disappointing with less than 10% response rates. Ewing sarcoma is a poorly differentiated and aggressive tumor mostly seen in the children and adolescents. It’s a distinct type of sarcoma with prominent chemosensitivity in the early stages. However, the relapsing disease has a poor prognosis with limited treatment options. Case report Herein, we represent a case of relapsed Ewing sarcoma treated with multiple lines of chemotherapy. Management & outcome: The patient had a very good response to salvage treatment with a combination of paclitaxel and nivolumab which lasted for twelve months after the cessation of treatment. Discussion We think that chemotherapy plus immunotherapy can be an option for Ewing sarcoma patients treated with multiple lines of chemotherapy.

Blue Toe Syndrome

Durvalumab is a selective, high-affinity human immunoglobulin monoclonal antibody in a class called check point inhibitors, that blocks PD-L1 on tumour cells. Despite clinical success in increasing progression-free survival rates in patients with stage III non-small-cell lung cancer, durvalumab has been associated with immune-related side effects such as pneumonitis and colitis. We present a case of an 84-year-old woman with acral vasculitis presenting as blue toe syndrome, associated with prolonged use of durvalumab. After 1 year of fortnightly durvalumab therapy postchemoradiation therapy, the patient came in with a left blue big toe, and later developed bilateral livedo racemosa. The diagnosis of durvalumab-associated vasculitis was made and treatment with prednisolone was started with clinical improvement.
