B7-H3 is a transmembrane receptor highly prevalent on malignant cells and plays an important role in adaptive immunity that is not fully elucidated. Targeted B7-H3 inhibitors, including antibody-drug conjugates, radioimmunotherapy, and monoclonal antibodies, are a new class of antineoplastic agents showing promising preliminary clinical efficacy, observed with several of these agents against multiple tumor types. Particularly promising treatments are enoblituzumab for prostate cancer, I-omburtamab for central nervous system malignancies, and HS-20093 for small-cell lung cancer but further studies are warranted. There are clinical trials on the horizon that have not yet enrolled patients examining chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapies, bi- and tri-specific killer engagers, and dual-affinity retargeting proteins. These data will be telling of the efficacy of B7-H3 inhibitors in both hematologic and solid malignancies. This study aimed to compile available results of B7-H3 inhibitors in oncology clinical trials.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors in combination with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are improving the response rates of advanced renal cancer patients. However, many treated patients do not respond, making novel immune checkpoint-based immunotherapies potentially clinically beneficial only for specific groups of patients. We detected high expression of the immune checkpoint protein B7-H3 in clear cell renal cell carcinomas (ccRCCs) and evaluated B7-H3 immunohistochemistry staining in tissue microarray samples from two distinct renal cancer cohorts.

Background: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is characterised by its immunogenic and proangiogenic nature and its resistance to conventional therapies. The advent of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has significantly improved patient survival, but resistance to these treatments remains a challenge. B7-H3, a potential immune checkpoint, has been implicated in modulating the tumour microenvironment and immune escape mechanisms in RCC.

Background: Glioblastoma is characterized by rapid tumor growth and high invasiveness. The tumor microenvironment of glioblastoma is highly immunosuppressive with both intrinsic and adaptive resistance mechanisms that result in disease recurrence despite current immunotherapeutic strategies.
Methods: In this systematic review of clinical trials involving immunotherapy for glioblastoma using ClinicalTrials.

Immunology-based therapies are emerging as an effective cancer treatment, using the body's immune system to target tumors. Immune checkpoints, which regulate immune responses to prevent tissue damage and autoimmunity, are often exploited by cancer cells to avoid destruction. The discovery of checkpoint proteins like PD-1/PD-L1 and CTLA-4 was pivotal in developing cancer immunotherapy.

Background: Recurrent high-grade glioma (rHGG) lacks effective life-prolonging treatments and the efficacy of systemic PD-1 and CTLA-4 immune checkpoint inhibitors is limited. The multi-cohort Glitipni phase I trial investigates the safety and feasibility of intraoperative intracerebral (iCer) and postoperative intracavitary (iCav) nivolumab (NIVO) ± ipilimumab (IPI) treatment following maximal safe resection (MSR) in rHGG.
Materials And Methods: Patients received 10 mg IV NIVO within 24 h before surgery, followed by MSR, iCer 5 mg IPI and 10 mg NIVO, and Ommaya catheter placement in the resection cavity.
