Article Abstract

Aim: We describe a single-center burden of admissions for irAE management and rechallenge feasibility.

Methods: A retrospective single-center study of patients receiving immunotherapy between 2015-2018 assessing irAE and immunotherapy rechallenge outcomes.

Results: 69 of 307 patients (22%) required 124 hospitalizations for irAEs. 8 required ICU admission (2.6%). 6 (1.9%) died from irAEs. Corticosteroids were used in 96% of admissions. Additional immunosuppression was required in 26 admissions (21%). 47 of 69 patients were rechallenged (68%). The median duration between toxicity and rechallenge was 49 days (range 17-994 days). 19 of 47 rechallenged patients (40%) were admitted for subsequent irAE. 19 patients of the rechallenged group (40%) were alive at last follow-up.

Conclusion: Immunotherapy rechallenge following prior irAE hospitalization is feasible but carries significant toxicity risk.

Although traditional immunogenic cell death (ICD) inducers generate vaccines (ISV) to potentiate antiprogrammed cell death ligand 1 (anti-PDL1) antibodies therapy, their efficacy remains limited. This limitation may be attributed to the physical barrier created by extracellular matrix (ECM) and immunosuppressive metabolic barrier mediated by adenosine. Here, we report an oncolytic polymer (OP), a well-designed ε-polylysine derivative with ICD-inducing capacity, which can simultaneously facilitate the release of endogenous ECM-degrading enzyme, Cathepsin B.

Introduction: Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) remains a leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide, with limited long-term survival despite therapeutic advances. The increasing understanding of its molecular heterogeneity has paved the way for precision medicine approaches aiming to optimize treatment efficacy and reduce unnecessary toxicity.

Areas Covered: This review provides an in-depth analysis of the current and emerging molecular targets in mCRC, including RAS, BRAF, HER2, and microsatellite instability.

Background: Combination of targeted therapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is a leading approach in the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, an increased incidence of skin rashes poses a clinical challenge. Understanding the acute cutaneous adverse drug reactions (CADRs) during the early stage of the combination treatment is crucial.

Breast cancer therapy confronts dual challenges of metabolic plasticity-driven drug resistance and immunosuppression. To address this, we developed DCP-TPP, a therapeutic nanoplatform that integrates dysregulation of copper homeostasis and lipid metabolism for precise breast cancer therapy. Leveraging the overexpression of cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36) in breast cancer cells, DCP-TPP employs fatty acid camouflage (PCM) to deliver disulfiram (DSF) and photothermal CuBiS to cancer cells and features triphenylphosphonium (TPP) modification for targeted mitochondrial drug delivery.

Radiotherapy (RT) has great potential on activating antitumor immunity for combination therapy, yet this effect is limited by immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) and the potential toxicity in immune cells from high-dose radiation. Herein, we developed engineered nanoparticles (NPs) (CVs@MgMn) composed of genetically edited cellular vesicles (CVs), MnO and MgCO for enhanced radioimmunotherapy by remolding TME and activating the stimulator of the interferon genes (STING) pathway. In the TME, the efficiently enriched CVs@MgMn were decomposed to generate hydroxyl (‧OH) and oxygen (O) for radiosensitization.
