Granulosa cell tumor (GCT) is the most common nonepithelial ovarian malignancy. Still, it is considered rare, with a paucity of high-level evidence guiding management, particularly in the metastatic setting. Advancements in molecular pathology allowed the identification of several targetable mutations that play an important role in GCT pathogenesis.

Background: We previously reported our phase Ib trial, testing the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of T-DM1 + neratinib in HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer patients. Patients with ERBB2 amplification in ctDNA had deeper and more durable responses. This study extends these observations with in-depth analysis of molecular markers and mechanisms of resistance in additional patients.

Interleukin (IL)-10 was one of the first cytokines to be recognized. However, its functionality in promoting antitumor immunity was described more recently. Context- and concentration-dependent biological effects are the hallmarks of the pleiotropic role of IL-10.

Immune checkpoint blockade transformed cancer therapy during the last decade. However, durable responses remain uncommon, early and late relapses occur over the course of treatment, and many patients with PD-L1-expressing tumors do not respond to PD-(L)1 blockade. In addition, while some malignancies exhibit inherent resistance to treatment, others develop adaptations that allow them to evade antitumor immunity after a period of response.
