Background: Checkpoint inhibitors have revolutionized the treatment of metastatic melanoma, yielding long-term survival in a considerable proportion of the patients. Yet, 40-60% of patients do not achieve a long-term benefit from such therapy, emphasizing the urgent need to identify biomarkers that can predict response to immunotherapy and guide patients for the best possible treatment. Here, we exploited an unsupervised machine learning approach to identify potential inflammatory cytokine signatures from liquid biopsies, which could predict response to immunotherapy in melanoma.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed the treatment in malignancies because of the impact on reactivating the immune cells to kill tumor cells. Because anti-CTLA-4 antibody and anti-PD-1 antibody (or anti-PD-L1 antibody) work in different ways, they have synergistic effects when used in combination in many cancers. However, it has been found that a strong immune response may lead to more serious and multi-system immune-related adverse events (irAE).

Background: Cancer treatmentinduced arrhythmia (CTIA) is a well-recognized form of cardiotoxicity associated with chemotherapy. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have been associated with important forms of cardiotoxicity, including myocarditis. However, the incidence of CTIA associated with ICI has not been well characterized.

Background: Combined immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) treatment targeting PD-1 and CTLA-4 was suggested to yield clinical benefit over chemotherapy in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), whereas aPD-1 monotherapy failed to provide benefit in phase-III trials. Success of ICI depends on the presence and activation of tumor-specific T cells. Therefore, we investigated whether T-cell characteristics are underlying clinical efficacy of ICI treatment in MPM.

The induction of tumor-targeted, cytotoxic T lymphocytes has been recognized as a key component to successful immunotherapy. DPX-based treatment was previously shown to effectively recruit activated CD8 T cells to the tumor. Herein, we analyze the unique phenotype of the CD8 T cells recruited into the tumor in response to DPX-based therapy, and how combination with checkpoint inhibitors impacts T cell response.
