RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Previous results from this trial showed longer overall survival after treatment with nivolumab plus ipilimumab or with nivolumab monotherapy than with ipilimumab monotherapy in patients with advanced melanoma. Given that patients with advanced melanoma are living longer than 7.5 years, longer-term data were needed to address new clinically relevant questions. METHODS: We randomly assigned patients with previously untreated advanced melanoma, in a 1:1:1 ratio, to one of the following regimens: nivolumab (1 mg per kilogram of body weight) plus ipilimumab (3 mg per kilogram) every 3 weeks for four doses, followed by nivolumab (3 mg per kilogram) every 2 weeks; nivolumab (3 mg per kilogram) every 2 weeks plus placebo; or ipilimumab (3 mg per kilogram) every 3 weeks for four doses plus placebo. Treatment was continued until the occurrence of disease progression, unacceptable toxic effects, or withdrawal of consent. Randomization was stratified according to BRAF mutation status, metastasis stage, and programmed death ligand 1 expression. Here, we report the final, 10-year results of this trial, including results for overall survival and melanoma-specific survival, as well as durability of response. RESULTS: With a minimum follow-up of 10 years, median overall survival was 71.9 months with nivolumab plus ipilimumab, 36.9 months with nivolumab, and 19.9 months with ipilimumab. The hazard ratio for death was 0.53 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.44 to 0.65) for nivolumab plus ipilimumab as compared with ipilimumab and was 0.63 (95% CI, 0.52 to 0.76) for nivolumab as compared with ipilimumab. Median melanoma-specific survival was more than 120 months with nivolumab plus ipilimumab (not reached, with 37% of the patients alive at the end of the trial), 49.4 months with nivolumab, and 21.9 months with ipilimumab. Among patients who had been alive and progression-free at 3 years, 10-year melanoma-specific survival was 96% with nivolumab plus ipilimumab, 97% with nivolumab, and 88% with ipilimumab. CONCLUSIONS: The final trial results showed a continued, ongoing survival benefit with nivolumab plus ipilimumab and with nivolumab monotherapy, as compared with ipilimumab monotherapy, in patients with advanced melanoma.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Phase 1-2 trials involving patients with resectable, macroscopic stage III melanoma have shown that neoadjuvant immunotherapy is more efficacious than adjuvant immunotherapy. METHODS: In this phase 3 trial, we randomly assigned patients with resectable, macroscopic stage III melanoma, in a 1:1 ratio, to receive two cycles of neoadjuvant ipilimumab plus nivolumab and then undergo surgery or to undergo surgery and then receive 12 cycles of adjuvant nivolumab. Only the patients in the neoadjuvant group who had a partial response or nonresponse received subsequent adjuvant treatment. The primary end point was event-free survival. RESULTS: A total of 423 patients underwent randomization. At a median follow-up of 9.9 months, the estimated 12-month event-free survival was 83.7% (99.9% confidence interval [CI], 73.8 to 94.8) in the neoadjuvant group and 57.2% (99.9% CI, 45.1 to 72.7) in the adjuvant group. The difference in restricted mean survival time was 8.00 months (99.9% CI, 4.94 to 11.05; P<0.001; hazard ratio for progression, recurrence, or death, 0.32; 99.9% CI, 0.15 to 0.66). In the neoadjuvant group, 59.0% of the patients had a major pathological response, 8.0% had a partial response, 26.4% had a nonresponse (>50% residual viable tumor), and 2.4% had progression; in 4.2%, surgery had not yet been performed or was omitted. The estimated 12-month recurrence-free survival was 95.1% among patients in the neoadjuvant group who had a major pathological response, 76.1% among those who had a partial response, and 57.0% among those who had a nonresponse. Adverse events of grade 3 or higher that were related to systemic treatment occurred in 29.7% of the patients in the neoadjuvant group and in 14.7% in the adjuvant group. CONCLUSIONS: Among patients with resectable, macroscopic stage III melanoma, neoadjuvant ipilimumab plus nivolumab followed by surgery and response-driven adjuvant therapy resulted in longer event-free survival than surgery followed by adjuvant nivolumab.

RESUMO

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. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This French multicenter real-world study was conducted between September 2020 and July 2023. The primary endpoint was the objective response rate (ORR) according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (version 1.1). Secondary variables were treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and duration of response (DOR). RESULTS: Of the 67 patients included (median age, 69 years; median follow-up, 5.0 months), 85% had stage IV-M1c or M1d disease. The overall ORR was 28.4% (95% CI, 18%-41%), including 3 complete (4.5%) and 16 partial (23.9%) responses. Median DOR was 3.1 (interquartile range, 1.3-4.3) months. Median PFS and OS were 3.1 (95% CI, 2.5-3.7) and 9.8 (95% CI, 5.6-13.9) months, respectively. Grades 3-5 TRAEs occurred in 16 (24%) patients; common TRAEs were fatigue (43.3%), nausea/vomiting (26.8%), diarrhea (20.9%), and hypertension (20.9%). No treatment-related deaths occurred. CONCLUSION: Our real-world study demonstrates an interesting response rate and acceptable safety profile in a population with poor prognostic factors. Our data support this treatment option for refractory melanoma, as it is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration or European Medicines Agency, and highlight the need for new strategies.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Cutaneous adnexal carcinomas are a heterogeneous group of rare neoplasms. Surgical excision is the first-line treatment in localized stage. The use and effectiveness of radiotherapy have not been thoroughly evaluated in these neoplasms. OBJECTIVES: The present work analyses prognostic factors on outcomes in skin adnexal carcinomas, based on data from the CARADERM (CAncers RAres DERMatologiques) database. METHODS: Data were collected retrospectively including demographic data, tumour types and therapeutic characteristics of all patients included in the CARADERM database, with at least one informative follow-up visit. Analyses were performed on three populations: patients with complete resection of the primary tumour (ADJ/primary population), patients achieving complete remission after complete resection of a recurrent tumour (ADJ/recurrent population) and patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic tumours (ADV/MET population). Overall and recurrence/progression-free survivals at 3-year were analysed using Cox regression models. RESULTS: Radiotherapy did not affect overall survival (OS) in the ADJ/primary population. Adjusted recurrence-free survival (RFS) was significantly lower in the radiotherapy group in ADJ/primary group. Older patients had significantly poorer OS and RFS. Tumour size and immunosuppression were significantly associated with poorer RFS only. Radiotherapy had no effect on OS and RFS in the ADJ/recurrent population. Age was the only factor associated with a poorer OS. Radiotherapy was significantly associated with longer progression-free survival (PFS) in age-sex adjusted analysis in the ADV/MET population, without effect on OS. CONCLUSIONS: Our study shows that age, tumour size and immunosuppression are significantly associated with survival in localized adnexal carcinomas. Radiotherapy may improve PFS in the ADV/MET population but not in localized and recurrent carcinomas after complete excision.

RESUMO

A collaboration of multidisciplinary experts from the European Association of Dermato-Oncology, the European Dermatology Forum, the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, and the European Union of Medical Specialists was formed to develop European recommendations on AK diagnosis and treatment, based on current literature and expert consensus. This guideline addresses the epidemiology, diagnostics, risk stratification and treatments in immunocompetent as well as immunosuppressed patients. Actinic keratoses (AK) are potential precursors of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) and display typical histopathologic and immunohistochemical features of this malignancy in an early stage. They can develop into cSSC in situ and become invasive in a low percentage of cases. AK is the most frequent neoplasia in white populations, frequently occurring within a cancerous field induced by ultraviolet radiation. Since it cannot be predicted, which lesion will progress to cSCC and when treatment is usually recommended. The diagnosis of AK and field cancerization is made by clinical examination. Dermatoscopy, confocal microscopy, optical coherence tomography or line-field confocal-OCT can help in the differential diagnosis of AK and other skin neoplasms. A biopsy is indicated in clinically and/or dermatoscopically suspicious and/or treatment-refractory lesions. The choice of treatment depends on patients' and lesion characteristics. For single non-hyperkeratotic lesions, the treatment can be started upon patient's request with destructive treatments or topical treatments. For multiple lesions, field cancerization treatment is advised with topical treatments and photodynamic therapy. Preventive measures such as sun protection, self-examination and repeated field cancerization treatments of previously affected skin areas in high-risk patients are advised.

RESUMO

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas in kidney-transplant recipients are frequent, with an increasing incidence linked to long immunosuppression durations and exposure to ultraviolet radiation. p53 is at the cornerstone of ultraviolet-induced DNA damage, but the role of p53 post-translational modifications in this context is not yet deciphered. Here, we investigated the phosphorylation status of p53 at Serine 392 in 25 cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas in kidney-transplant recipients, compared with 22 non-transplanted patients. Cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas in transplanted patients occurred after a median period of 19 years of immunosuppression, with a median number of 15 cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas and more aggressive histological and clinical characteristics. There was no significant difference between Ki67, p53, and pSer392p53 expression in the two groups. Using principal component analysis, we identified a cluster of exclusively transplanted patients with a median of 23 years of immunosuppression duration, significantly more aggressive biological characteristics, and higher pSer392p53 expression. pSer392p53 was expressed in the whole tumor, suggesting an early carcinogenic event in the course of prolonged immunosuppression. This high, diffuse pSer392p53 expression, corresponding to a high level of DNA damage, might be useful to identify aggressive cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas in kidney-transplant recipients to treat them more aggressively.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The initial management of patients with sarcoma is a critical issue. We used the nationwide French National Cancer Institute-funded prospective sarcoma database NETSARC to report the management and oncologic outcomes in adolescents and young adults (AYAs) patients with sarcoma at the national level. PATIENTS AND METHODS: NETSARC database gathers regularly monitored and updated data from patients with sarcoma. NETSARC was queried for patients (15-30 years) with sarcoma diagnosed from 2010 to 2017 for whom tumor resection had been performed. We reported management, locoregional recurrence-free survival (LRFS), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) in AYA treated in French reference sarcoma centers (RSC) and outside RSC (non-RSC) and conducted multivariable survival analyses adjusted for classical prognostic factors. RESULTS: Among 3,227 patients aged 15-30 years with sarcoma diagnosed between 2010 and 2017, the study included 2,227 patients with surgery data available, among whom 1,290 AYAs had been operated in RSC, and 937 AYAs in non-RSC. Significant differences in compliance to guidelines were observed including pre-treatment biopsy (RSC: 85.9%; non-RSC 48.1%), pre-treatment imaging (RSC: 86.8%; non-RSC: 56.5%) and R0 margins (RSC 57.6%; non-RSC: 20.2%) (p < 0.001). 3y-OS rates were 81.1% (95%CI 78.3-83.6) in AYA in RSC and 82.7% (95%CI 79.4-85.5) in AYA in non-RSC, respectively. Whereas no significant differences in OS was observed in AYAs treated in RSC and in non-RSC, LRFS and PFS were improved in AYAs treated in RSC compared to AYAs treated in non-RSC (Hazard Ratios (HR): 0.58 and 0.83, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights the importance for AYA patients with sarcoma to be managed in national sarcoma reference centers involving multidisciplinary medical teams with paediatric and adult oncologists.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Clinical outcomes of advanced melanoma of unknown primary (MUP) in the era of novel therapies have been scarcely studied. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the efficacy and safety of systemic treatments in patients with advanced MUP compared to patients with stage-matched melanoma of known cutaneous primary (cMKP). METHODS: Based on the nationwide MelBase prospective database, this study included advanced melanoma patients treated from March 2013 to June 2021 with first-line immunotherapies, targeted therapies, or chemotherapy. Co-primary outcomes were progression-free survival and overall survival. Secondary outcome was treatment-related toxicities. Multivariate and propensity score analyses were performed. RESULTS: Of 1882 patients, 265 (14.1%) had advanced MUP. Patients with advanced MUP displayed more often unfavorable initial prognostic factors than those with cMKP. Progression-free and overall survival did not differ significantly between the groups (P = .73 and P = .93, respectively), as well as treatment-related toxicity rate and severity, regardless of treatment type. LIMITATIONS: No record of standard diagnostic criteria of MUP used in the participating centers. CONCLUSIONS: Although patients with MUP had less favorable baseline prognostic factors, they benefited from the novel therapies as much as those with cMKP. They should be managed according to similar strategies.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) improve the prognosis of many cancers but cause immune-related adverse events (IrAEs). Limited data are available on upper gastrointestinal (UGI) IrAEs. We describe the clinical characteristics, prognosis, and efficacy of medical therapy in patients with UGI IrAEs. METHODS: This is a retrospective, multicenter cohort study of patients with UGI symptoms and moderate to severe endoscopic UGI lesions, occurring after ICI. Efficacy of induction medical therapy and at the most recent follow-up was assessed. RESULTS: Forty patients were included; of these, 34 (85%) received anti-PD(L)1, either alone (n = 24) or combined with anti CTLA-4 (n = 10). Eighteen patients (45%) had concomitant enterocolitis. All patients had severe endoscopic lesions (erosions, ulcerations, hemorrhage, or necrotic lesions). Three patients who received an inefficient initial medical treatment had a complicated course: One patient died of enterocolitis, one had a pneumomediastinum, and one developed an ulcerated stricture of the pylorus. Thirty-five patients (88%) were treated with corticosteroids; 28 patients (80%) responded, and 20 (57%) reached clinical remission. Eight patients were treated with infliximab, and six responded (75%). After a median follow-up of 11 months, 36 patients (90%) were in corticosteroid-free clinical remission for their UGI symptoms. Endoscopic lesions persisted in 68% of patients. CONCLUSIONS: ICI cause severe UGI IrAEs, which are associated with enterocolitis in approximately half of the patients. Most patients with UGI IrAEs respond to corticosteroids or infliximab. These data support the recommendation to treat these patients without delay and in the same way as those with enterocolitis.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Although the treatment of iatrogenic and HIV-related Kaposi sarcoma is well defined and mostly based on restoring immune function, the treatment of classic and endemic Kaposi sarcoma is less well established. Chemotherapy or interferon α is used for patients with extensive cutaneous or visceral Kaposi sarcoma, but tolerance might be poor and long-term remission is rare. We aimed to evaluate the activity of pembrolizumab in classic and endemic Kaposi sarcoma with cutaneous extension requiring systemic treatment. METHODS: We did a multicentre, single-arm, proof-of-concept, phase 2 trial in adults aged 18 years or older with histologically proven classic or endemic Kaposi's sarcoma with progressive cutaneous extension requiring systemic treatment and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-1 in three hospitals in France. The patients were treated with 200 mg pembrolizumab intravenously every 3 weeks for 6 months (eight cycles) or until severe toxicity. The primary endpoint was the best overall response rate within the 6-month timeframe, defined by the occurrence of a complete response or partial response and assessed by an investigator using the modified AIDS Clinical Trial Group (ACTG) criteria. Three or more responses among a total 17 patients were needed for the primary endpoint to be met, using a Simon's two-stage optimal design assuming a 30% response rate as desirable. For this final study analysis, all patients were included following the intention-to-treat principle. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03469804, and is closed to new participants. FINDINGS: 30 patients were screened for eligibility and 17 patients (eight [47%] with classic and nine [53%] with endemic Kaposi's sarcoma) were enrolled between July 2, 2018, and Dec 16, 2019. The median follow-up was 20·4 months (IQR 18·1-24·1). Two (12%) patients had a complete response, ten (59%) had a partial response, and five (29%) had stable disease as the best response within the 6-month treatment timeframe, with a best overall response rate of 71% (95% CI 44-90), meeting the predefined primary outcome (ie, exceeding a response rate of 30%). Treatment-related adverse events occurred in 13 (76%) of 17 patients, including two grade 3 adverse events (one [6%] acute cardiac decompensation and one [6%] granulomatous reaction). Treatment was prematurely discontinued in two (12%) patients due to grade 3 acute reversible cardiac decompensation and grade 2 pancreatitis, and one other patient had a grade 3 granulomatous reaction in mediastinal lymph nodes requiring steroids and methotrexate treatment. There were no serious adverse events or treatment-related deaths. INTERPRETATION: In this prospective trial, which to our knowledge is the first to assess the role of PD-1 blockade in patients with classic and endemic Kaposi's sarcoma, pembrolizumab showed promising anti-tumour activity with an acceptable safety profile. If this result is supported by further studies, treatment with anti-PD-1 could be part of the therapeutic armamentarium for patients with classic and endemic Kaposi's sarcoma. FUNDING: MSD France.
