BACKGROUND: Non-clear cell renal cell cancers (nccRCCs) are a heterogeneous group of more than 20 different entities, but are rarely included in large, randomized trials. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors with or without immune checkpoint inhibition are considered as a standard of care (SOC), but optimal treatment is not yet defined. We designed the first prospective randomized trial comparing ipilimumab/nivolumab to SOC. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We randomized adult patients with previously untreated advanced or metastatic nccRCC 1:1 to nivolumab 3 mg/kg plus ipilimumab 1 mg/kg every 3 weeks for 4 doses followed by fixed dose nivolumab of 240 mg every 2 weeks or 480 mg every 4 weeks or to SOC. Patients were stratified by histology and by IMDC risk score. Central pathology review was mandatory. The primary endpoint was the overall survival (OS) rate at 12 months, secondary endpoints included median OS, response rate, progression-free survival (PFS), safety and quality of life. RESULTS: In total, 157 patients were assigned to receive ipilimumab/nivolumab, and 152 to SOC. The 12-month survival rate was 78% with ipilimumab/nivolumab [95% confidence interval (CI) 71-84%] compared to 68% with SOC (95% CI 60-75%, P = 0.026). Median OS was 33.2 months versus 25.2 months, P = 0.163 [HR 0.81 (0.61-1.099)]. PFS was similar in both arms [HR 0.99 (0.77-1.28)]. The ORR was 32.8% versus 19.3%. No major differences between papillary and non-papillary RCC subtypes were observed for any endpoint. Exploratory analysis showed a significant OS advantage [HR 0.56 (95% CI 0.37-0.86)] associated with a PD-L1 CPS score ≥1. Treatment discontinuation due to toxicity occurred in 27 patients (17%) with ipilimumab/nivolumab and 13 patients (9%) with SOC. CONCLUSIONS: Ipilimumab/nivolumab demonstrated a significantly longer OS at the 12-month milestone and an acceptable toxicity profile. Our results therefore underline a relevant clinical benefit of ipilimumab/nivolumab in previously untreated nccRCC entities compared to current SOC.

PURPOSE: There are limited treatment options for advanced melanoma that have progressed during or after immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. Intratumoral (IT) immunotherapy may improve tumor-specific immune activation by promoting local tumor antigen presentation while avoiding systemic toxicities. The phase 3 ILLUMINATE-301 study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03445533) evaluated tilsotolimod, a Toll-like receptor-9 agonist, with or without ipilimumab in patients with anti-PD-1 advanced refractory melanoma. METHODS: Patients with unresectable stage III-IV melanoma that progressed during or after anti-PD-1 therapy were randomly assigned 1:1 to receive 24 weeks of tilsotolimod plus ipilimumab or 10 weeks of ipilimumab alone. Nine IT injections of tilsotolimod were administered to a single designated lesion over 24 weeks. Intravenous ipilimumab 3 mg/kg was administered once every 3 weeks from week 2 in the tilsotolimod arm and week 1 in the ipilimumab arm. The primary end point was efficacy measured using objective response rate (ORR; independent review) and overall survival (OS). RESULTS: A total of 481 patients received tilsotolimod plus ipilimumab (n = 238) or ipilimumab alone (n = 243). ORRs were 8.8% in the tilsotolimod arm and 8.6% in the ipilimumab arm, with disease control rates of 34.5% and 27.2%, respectively. Median OS was 11.6 months in the tilsotolimod arm and 10 months in the ipilimumab arm (hazard ratio, 0.96 [95% CI, 0.77 to 1.19]; P = .7). Grade ≥3 treatment-emergent adverse events occurred in 61.1% and 55.5% of patients in the tilsotolimod and ipilimumab arms, respectively. CONCLUSION: Combining IT tilsotolimod with ipilimumab did not significantly improve the ORR or OS compared with ipilimumab alone in patients with anti-PD-1 advanced refractory melanoma.

BACKGROUND: Patients with gastro-oesophageal adenocarcinoma with tumour-positive lymph nodes (ypN+) or positive surgical margins (R1) following neoadjuvant chemotherapy and resection are at high risk of recurrence. Adjuvant nivolumab is effective in oesophageal/oesophagogastric junction cancer and residual pathological disease following chemoradiation and surgery. Immune checkpoint inhibition has shown efficacy in advanced gastro-oesophageal cancer. We hypothesised that nivolumab/ipilimumab would be more effective than adjuvant chemotherapy in high-risk (ypN+ and/or R1) patients with gastro-oesophageal adenocarcinoma following neoadjuvant chemotherapy and resection. PATIENTS AND METHODS: VESTIGE was an academic international, multicentre, open-label, randomised phase II trial evaluating the efficacy of adjuvant nivolumab/ipilimumab versus chemotherapy in gastro-oesophageal adenocarcinoma at high risk of recurrence. Patients were randomised 1 : 1 to receive standard adjuvant chemotherapy (same regimen as neoadjuvant) or nivolumab 3 mg/kg intravenously (i.v.) every 2 weeks plus ipilimumab 1 mg/kg i.v. every 6 weeks for 1 year. Key inclusion criteria included ypN+ and/or R1 status after neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus surgery. The primary endpoint was disease-free survival in the intent-to-treat population. Secondary endpoints included overall survival, locoregional and distant failure rates, and safety according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v5.0. RESULTS: The independent Data Monitoring Committee reviewed data from 189 of the planned 240 patients in June 2022 and recommended stopping recruitment due to futility. At the time of final analysis, median follow-up was 25.3 months for 195 patients (98 nivolumab/ipilimumab and 97 chemotherapy). Median disease-free survival for the nivolumab/ipilimumab group was 11.4 months [95% confidence interval (CI) 8.4-16.8 months] versus 20.8 months (95% CI 15.0-29.9 months) for the chemotherapy group, hazard ratio 1.55 (95% CI 1.07-2.25, one-sided P = 0.99). The 12-month disease-free survival rates were 47.1% and 64.0%, respectively. There were no toxicity concerns or excess early discontinuations. CONCLUSION: Nivolumab/ipilimumab did not improve disease-free survival compared with chemotherapy in patients with ypN+ and/or R1 gastro-oesophageal adenocarcinoma following neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery.

PURPOSE: CheckMate 914 is a two-part, randomized phase III trial evaluating adjuvant nivolumab plus ipilimumab (part A) or adjuvant nivolumab monotherapy (part B) versus placebo in mutually exclusive populations of patients with localized renal cell carcinoma (RCC) at high risk of postnephrectomy recurrence. Part A showed no disease-free survival (DFS) benefit for adjuvant nivolumab plus ipilimumab versus placebo. We report results from part B. METHODS: Patients were randomly assigned (2:1:1) to nivolumab (240 mg once every 2 weeks for up to 12 doses), placebo, or nivolumab (240 mg once every 2 weeks for up to 12 doses) plus ipilimumab (1 mg/kg once every 6 weeks for up to four doses). The planned treatment duration was 24 weeks (approximately 5.5 months). The primary end point was DFS per blinded independent central review (BICR) for nivolumab versus placebo; safety was a secondary end point. RESULTS: Overall, 825 patients were randomly assigned to nivolumab (n = 411), placebo (n = 208), or nivolumab plus ipilimumab (n = 206). With a median follow-up of 27.0 months (range, 18.0-42.4), the primary end point of improved DFS per BICR with nivolumab versus placebo was not met (hazard ratio [HR], 0.87 [95% CI, 0.62 to 1.21]; P = .40); the median DFS was not reached in either arm, and 18-month DFS rates were 78.4% versus 75.4%. The HR for DFS per investigator was 0.80 (95% CI, 0.58 to 1.12; P = .19). Grade 3-4 all-cause adverse events (AEs) occurred in 17.2%, 15.0%, and 28.9% of patients with nivolumab, placebo, and nivolumab plus ipilimumab, respectively. Any-grade treatment-related AEs led to discontinuation in 9.6%, 1.0%, and 28.4%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Part B of CheckMate 914 did not meet the primary end point of improved DFS for nivolumab versus placebo in patients with localized RCC at high risk of postnephrectomy recurrence.

PURPOSE: In phase III CheckMate 238, adjuvant nivolumab significantly improved recurrence-free survival compared with ipilimumab in patients with resected stage IIIB-C/IV melanoma without a significant difference in overall survival (OS). Here, we investigate progression-free survival (PFS) and OS after postrecurrence systemic therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients 15 years or older with resected stage IIIB-C/IV melanoma were stratified by stage and tumor PD-L1 status and randomly assigned to receive nivolumab 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks, or ipilimumab 10 mg/kg every 3 weeks for four doses and then every 12 weeks for 1 year or until disease recurrence, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. Patients with recurrence in each group were assessed for PFS and OS from subsequent systemic therapy (SST) initiation per recurrence timing (≤12 months [early] v >12 months [late] from initial therapy). RESULTS: Recurrences occurred in 198 (44%) of 453 nivolumab-treated patients (122 early, 76 late) and 232 (51%) of 453 ipilimumab-treated patients (160 early, 72 late). Median PFS on next-line systemic therapy for nivolumab-treated patients recurring early versus late was 4.7 versus 12.4 months (24-month rates, 16% v 31%); median OS was 19.8 versus 42.8 months (24-month rates: 37% v 73%). In response to subsequent therapy, patients on nivolumab with late versus early recurrence were more likely to benefit from anti-PD-1 monotherapy. Nivolumab-treated patients with either an early or late recurrence benefitted from an ipilimumab-based therapy or targeted therapy, each with similar OS. CONCLUSION: Postrecurrence survival was longer for patients who recurred >12 months. Patients on nivolumab who recurred early benefitted from SST but had better survival with ipilimumab-based regimens or targeted therapy compared with anti-PD-1 monotherapy.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the differential efficacy of first-line immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-based combined therapies among patients with intermediate- and poor-risk metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC), as recently, the efficacy of triplet therapy comprising nivolumab plus ipilimumab plus cabozantinib has been published. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Three databases were searched in December 2022 for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) analysing oncological outcomes in patients with mRCC treated with first-line ICI-based combined therapies. We performed network meta-analysis (NMA) to compare the outcomes, including progression-free survival (PFS) and objective response rates (ORRs), in patients with intermediate- and poor-risk mRCC; we also assessed treatment-related adverse events. RESULTS: Overall, seven RCTs were included in the meta-analyses and NMAs. Treatment ranking analysis revealed that pembrolizumab + lenvatinib (99%) had the highest likelihood of improved PFS, followed by nivolumab + cabozantinib (79%), and nivolumab + ipilimumab + cabozantinib (77%). Notably, compared to nivolumab + cabozantinib, adding ipilimumab to nivolumab + cabozantinib did not improve PFS (hazard ratio 1.02, 95% confidence interval 0.72-1.43). Regarding ORRs, treatment ranking analysis also revealed that pembrolizumab + lenvatinib had the highest likelihood of providing better ORRs (99.7%). The likelihoods of improved PFS and ORRs of pembrolizumab + lenvatinib were true in both International Metastatic RCC Database Consortium (IMDC) risk groups. CONCLUSIONS: Our analyses confirmed the robust efficacy of pembrolizumab + lenvatinib as first-line treatment for patients with intermediate or poor IMDC risk mRCC. Triplet therapy did not result in superior efficacy. Considering both toxicity and the lack of mature overall survival data, triplet therapy should only be considered in selected patients.

WHAT IS THIS SUMMARY ABOUT?: In this article, we summarize results from the ongoing phase 3 CheckMate 76K clinical study published online in Nature Medicine in October 2023. The study goal was to learn whether nivolumab works as an adjuvant therapy (that is, helps to keep cancer from coming back when it is given after surgery) for stage 2 melanoma (skin cancer) that has not spread to other parts of the body. Nivolumab is an immunotherapy that activates a person's immune system so it can destroy cancer cells. In melanoma, staging describes the severity of the cancer. Melanoma staging ranges from 0 (very thin and confined to the upper layer of the skin) to 4 (spread to distant parts of the body), with earlier stages removed by surgery. The people in this study had stage 2 melanoma that had not spread to the lymph nodes or other organs in the body. HOW WAS THE STUDY DESIGNED?: People 12 years and older with stage 2 melanoma that had not spread and had been removed by surgery were included in CheckMate 76K. People were randomly assigned to receive either nivolumab (526 patients) or placebo (264 patients). A placebo resembles the test medicine but does not contain any active medicines. The researchers assessed whether people who received nivolumab lived longer without their cancer returning and/or spreading to other parts of their bodies (compared with placebo) and if nivolumab was well tolerated. WHAT WERE THE RESULTS?: Researchers found that people who received nivolumab were 58% less likely to have their cancer return and 53% less likely of having their cancer spread to distant parts of their body, compared with placebo. These reductions in risk with nivolumab were seen in different subgroups of people with a range of characteristics, and regardless of how deep the melanoma had gone into the skin. People taking nivolumab had more side effects than those taking placebo, but most were mild to moderate and manageable. WHAT DO THE RESULTS MEAN?: Results from CheckMate 76K support the benefit of using nivolumab as a treatment option for people with stage 2 melanoma post-surgery.

BACKGROUND: Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy has brought about a revolutionary advance in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Not a few patients with NSCLC have comorbid diseases. In patients who already have impaired renal function, particular attention must be paid to renal toxicity, a rare immune-related adverse events. Although there have been some case reports of ICI therapy for patients with advanced NSCLC undergoing hemodialysis, information on ICI therapy in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is limited. CASE: We show herein a case with a successfully treated 75-year-old male patient with CKD and advanced NSCLC. His estimated glomerular filtration rate at the start of anticancer treatment was 40 mL/min/1.73 m2. Nivolumab and ipilimumab were administered, considering both the expectation of therapeutic efficacy and the avoidance of side effects. Ipilimumab was discontinued 1 year after the start of the treatment, and nivolumab was also terminated 2 years after the initiation of the treatment due to thyroid dysfunction as immune-related adverse event. Without worsening of CKD, the patient was able to control NSCLC with two immune checkpoint inhibitors for ≥ 3 years. CONCLUSION: Nivolumab and ipilimumab regimen might become one of the options for NSCLC patients with CKD. This report could provide some suggestions for the treatment of future patients who might experience a similar course of the therapy.

Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-based combination therapies are the recommended first-line treatment for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). However, no head-to-head phase-3 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have compared the efficacy of different ICI-based combination therapies. Here, we compared the efficacy of various first-line ICI-based combination therapies in patients with mRCC using updated survival data from phase-3 RCTs. Three databases were searched in June 2023 for RCTs that analyzed oncologic outcomes in mRCC patients treated with ICI-based combination therapies as first-line treatment. A network meta-analysis compared outcomes including overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), and complete response (CR) rate. Subgroup analyses were based on the International mRCC Database Consortium risk classification. The treatment ranking analysis of the entire cohort showed that nivolumab + cabozantinib (81%) had the highest likelihood of improving OS, followed by nivolumab + ipilimumab (75%); pembrolizumab + lenvatinib had the highest likelihood of improving PFS (99%), ORR (97%), and CR (86%). These results remained valid even when the analysis was limited to patients with intermediate/poor risk, except that nivolumab + ipilimumab had the highest likelihood of achieving CR (100%). Further, OS benefits of ICI doublets were not inferior to those of ICI + tyrosine kinase inhibitor combinations. Recommendation of combination therapies with ICIs and/or tyrosine kinase inhibitors based on survival benefits and patient pretreatment risk classification will help advance personalized medicine for mRCC.

BACKGROUND: Hyperprogressive disease (HPD) is a new phenomenon that has emerged in the immunotherapy era. HPD is defined as a rapid tumour growth with detrimental effect on the patient condition and disease course. The management and treatment following HPD is not defined. We present here the case report of patient with HPD and review of the literature on putative mechanisms of HPD and following disease management. METHODS AND RESULTS: A 60-year old male patient with metastatic melanoma was indicated for systemic treatment with anti-programmed cell death (PD)-1 antibody. Rapid tumour growth and detrimental effect on the patient general condition after administration of a single dose of anti-PD-1 antibody met the criteria of HPD. The patient underwent the second line taxane-based chemotherapy with good tolerance and disease stabilization. The third line treatment with anti- cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) antibody ipilimumab was well tolerated and resulted in partial response. Re-challenge with anti-CTLA-4 antibody was feasible, but only with a modest clinical effect. CONCLUSION: Prompt recognition of HPD and administration of salvage chemotherapy with taxane-based regimens may be crucial. HPD is rarely observed with ipilimumab treatment. Administration of ipilimumab as well as an ipilimumab re-challenge are feasible after HPD on anti-PD-1 antibodies. Investigation of new predictive biomarkers of HPD is warranted as well as new agents that potentiate the immune response in patients affected with this insidious complication.
