Purpose: Tissue factor is highly expressed in cervical carcinoma and can be targeted by tisotumab vedotin (TV), an antibody-drug conjugate. This phase Ib/II study evaluated TV in combination with bevacizumab, pembrolizumab, or carboplatin for recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer (r/mCC).
Methods: This open-label, multicenter study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03786081) included dose-escalation arms that assessed dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) and identified the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of TV in combination with bevacizumab (arm A), pembrolizumab (arm B), or carboplatin (arm C). The dose-expansion arms evaluated TV antitumor activity and safety at RP2D in combination with carboplatin as first-line (1L) treatment (arm D) or with pembrolizumab as 1L (arm E) or second-/third-line (2L/3L) treatment (arm F). The primary end point of dose expansion was objective response rate (ORR).
Results: A total of 142 patients were enrolled. In dose escalation (n = 41), no DLTs were observed; the RP2D was TV 2 mg/kg plus bevacizumab 15 mg/kg on day 1 once every 3 weeks, pembrolizumab 200 mg on day 1 once every 3 weeks, or carboplatin AUC 5 on day 1 once every 3 weeks. In dose expansion (n = 101), the ORR was 54.5% (n/N, 18/33; 95% CI, 36.4 to 71.9) with 1L TV + carboplatin (arm D), 40.6% (n/N, 13/32; 95% CI, 23.7 to 59.4) with 1L TV + pembrolizumab (arm E), and 35.3% (12/34; 19.7 to 53.5) with 2L/3L TV + pembrolizumab (arm F). The median duration of response was 8.6 months, not reached, and 14.1 months, in arms D, E, and F, respectively. Grade ≥3 adverse events (≥15%) were anemia, diarrhea, nausea, and thrombocytopenia in arm D and anemia in arm F (none ≥15%, arm E).
Conclusion: TV in combination with bevacizumab, carboplatin, or pembrolizumab demonstrated manageable safety and encouraging antitumor activity in treatment-naive and previously treated r/mCC.

Background: No standard treatment exists for patients with platinum-refractory advanced type B3 thymoma and thymic carcinoma. In the PECATI trial, we sought to assess the antitumour activity and safety of lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab in this population.
Methods: In this single-arm phase 2 trial, we recruited participants from 11 hospitals in France, Italy, and Spain.

Background: The European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) magnitude of clinical benefit (MCBS) version 1.1 is an evaluation scale that was developed to evaluate the magnitude of clinical benefit reported in clinical research studies of cancer treatments. The American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) and the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO) created joint guidelines for the use of local therapy in the management of extracranial oligometastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of unengineered tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) combined with pembrolizumab and either high (HD, Arm-1) or low (LD, Arm-2) doses of IL-2 in patients with metastatic melanoma (MM). Patients were lymphodepleted with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine, followed by TIL infusion and IL-2 (Arm-1: 720,000 IU/kg IV q 8 hrs up to 15 doses; Arm-2: 2 million IU SC for 14 days). Patients received pembrolizumab 200 mg IV starting 21 days post-TIL infusion, and every 3 weeks for up to 2 years.

Desmoplastic melanoma is a distinct subtype of melanoma known to have preexisting immune infiltrates and high ultraviolet light damage, resulting in a high tumor mutational burden. We hypothesized that this may result in high response rates with single-agent anti-programmed death protein 1 (PD-1) therapy. SWOG S1512 was a two-cohort clinical trial testing the activity of pembrolizumab in patients with surgically resectable (cohort A) and unresectable (cohort B) desmoplastic melanoma.

Methods: CANOPY-N was a randomized, phase 2 study to evaluate safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant canakinumab (200 mg subcutaneous once every three weeks) and pembrolizumab (200 mg intravenous once every three weeks), either in combination or alone, in patients with early-stage (stage Ib-IIIa) NSCLC. The primary end point was major pathologic response (MPR) rates (≤10% of residual tumor cells) by central pathology review in the arms containing canakinumab.
