Article Synopsis
  • Sézary syndrome is a rare and deadly skin cancer, and this study looked into the survival rates and factors affecting outcomes, particularly focusing on the treatment mogamulizumab.
  • *The research analyzed data from 339 patients diagnosed between 2000 and 2020 across Europe, highlighting that age over 80 and large-cell transformation worsened survival rates.
  • *Results indicated that patients treated with mogamulizumab had significantly lower mortality rates, suggesting it is an effective treatment option for Sézary syndrome.

Background: Currently, treatment options for patients with advanced melanoma who experience failed immunotherapy or targeted therapy are lacking. Recent studies suggest the antitumor activity of combined pembrolizumab and lenvatinib in patients with advanced melanoma progressing on immunotherapy. Herein, we report the clinical outcomes of combined lenvatinib and a programmed cell death protein-1 inhibitor (PD-1) in this population.

Background: Despite significant progress with antiprogrammed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) therapy, a substantial fraction of metastatic melanoma patients show upfront therapy resistance. Biomarkers for outcome are missing and the association of baseline immune function and clinical outcome remains to be determined. We assessed the in vitro nonspecific stimulation of immune response at baseline and during anti-PD-1 therapy for metastatic melanoma.

Immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) treatments improve outcomes for metastatic melanoma; however, up to 60% of treated patients do not respond to ICI and/or develop immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Currently, robust and reliable biomarker to predict response and/or occurrence of irAEs to ICI are missing. Herein, we wanted to explore whether germline variants (SNPs) could predict the clinical outcomes of melanoma patients treated with ICIs.

Acute type 1 diabetes (AD1) is a rare but definitive immune-related adverse event associated with anti-PD1. Most of the reported cases are close to what has been described as "fulminant type 1 diabetes." We sought to determine whether anti-PD1 could impair glycoregulation and whether occurrence of AD1 could be anticipated by prior glycemic changes.
