Very interesting discovery by @moranamit2 @MDAndersonNews. Cancer cells damage nerves, ➡️inflammation ➡️resistance to PD-1. Cancer-induced nerve injury promotes resistance to anti-PD-1 therapy https://t.co/ygJsbzKSDG

Hard to beat a trial with 92.5% or greater long-term OS across all arms!
Long-Term Follow-Up of E3311 (54 mo f/u) https://t.co/2nTvrTd2J7 ⭐️~15% (4/38) recurrence in pN1 in Arm A ⭐️No diff in PFS by smoking hx ⭐️No diff in PFS/OS for ≤1 mm) ENE vs no ENE ENE among intermed-risk assigned to PORT ⭐️Likely comparable PFS for 50Gy vs 60Gy PORT

Another negative (or a few have been weakly positive) adjuvant only anti-PD-(L)1 phase 3 solid tumour trial. Neoadjuvant is where it’s at with these agents!
More disappointing news in #HCC: Adjuvant pembrolizumab failed to beat surveillance in the global P3 #KEYNOTE-937 trial (NCT03867084). Merck disclosed the negative result quietly in an SEC filing. Not unexpected after #IMbrave050

INNOVATE conference Naples - I love this think tank meeting! 2nd yr colleague Paolo Ascierto has hosted small but lively group of clinician researchers, clinical trialists and drug developers discuss an ALL #CANCER #NEOADJUVANT #immunotherapy approach. It is one of my favourite

Excited to see this work now out in JCO, important and unique long term data for the newest checkpoint combination. B7-H3 result could be practice informing & importantly targetable. Congrats to @Liz_htx03 for the incredible work to make this happen & Profs. Amaria & @JenWargoMD
Patients with advanced melanoma who received nivolumab + relatlimab before and after surgery had lasting results four years later. Biomarkers may help predict who benefits most. https://t.co/pxnMX5fEP9

The @US_FDA has approved perioperative pembrolizumab adjuvant radiotherapy for adult patients with HNSCC with 🔹resectable, locally advanced disease 🔹who express PD-L1 with a CPS of at least 1, per an FDA-approved test. 🔗 https://t.co/z8IxZu74K6
