Development of diffuse cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma in situ after chemotherapy for ovarian carcinoma and remission with PD1-inhibitor.

This is a 74-year-old female, initially presenting with malignant pleural effusion, and evaluation revealed programmed cell death ligand 1 (PDL1)-positive stage IV high grade serous ovarian cancer. Following initiation of standard chemotherapy agents, carboplatin and paclitaxel, the patient developed a diffuse, itchy rash over her abdomen, back, and bilateral upper and lower extremities. Biopsy of the rash revealed a diffuse non-resectable cutaneous squamous cell skin carcinoma (cSCC) in situ. Consequently, a PD1-inhibitor was added to her neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen, which resulted in complete response to both metastatic ovarian and diffuse cSCC in situ at time of surgery.

Three-Year Overall Survival Outcomes and Correlative Analyses in Patients With NSCLC and High (50%-89%) Versus Very High (≥90%) Programmed Death-Ligand 1 Expression Treated With First-Line Pembrolizumab or Cemiplimab.

Introduction: Responses to first-line programmed cell death protein 1 inhibition vary among patients with metastatic NSCLC and a programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) tumor proportion score (TPS) greater than or equal to 50%. We previously reported improved clinical outcomes to first-line programmed cell death protein 1 inhibition in patients with metastatic NSCLC with a PD-L1 TPS of greater than or equal to 90% versus 50% to 89% in a pilot study. Here, we report the three-year survival with first-line pembrolizumab and cemiplimab in two large independent cohorts of patients with PD-L1 TPS greater than or equal to 90% versus 50% to 89% and characterize genomic and immunophenotypic differences between these PD-L1 expression groups, which were largely unknown. Methods: We analyzed three-year outcomes of the following two independent cohorts: (1) a multicenter cohort of patients from four academic centers in the United States treated with pembrolizumab and (2) EMPOWER-Lung 1, randomized, phase III trial comparing first-line cemiplimab with chemotherapy. Tumor genomic profiling and multiplexed immunofluorescence were performed to evaluate genomic and immunophenotypic correlates of very high PD-L1 expression. Results: At three years of follow-up, progression-free survival (hazard ratio [HR], 0.69; p < 0.001) and overall survival (HR, 0.70; p < 0.01) to first-line commercial pembrolizumab were significantly improved in patients with a PD-L1 TPS greater than or equal to 90% versus 50% to 89%. In the EMPOWER-Lung 1, patients assigned to the cemiplimab arm with a PD-L1 TPS greater than or equal to 90% also had significant improvements in progression-free survival (HR, 0.53; p < 0.0001) and overall survival (HR, 0.63; p = 0.007) compared with those with a PD-L1 of 50% to 89%. Tumor genomic profiling of 553 NSCLC samples revealed that mutations in STK11 and SMARCA4 were significantly more frequent in tumors with a PD-L1 TPS of 50% to 89% compared with those with a PD-L1 TPS greater than or equal to 90% (Q < 0.15), whereas BRCA2 was enriched in NSCLC samples with a PD-L1 TPS greater than or equal to 90% (Q < 0.15). Multiplexed immunofluorescence on 93 NSCLC samples identified higher intratumoral CD8+PD1+ T cells (p = 0.02) in tumors with PD-L1 TPS greater than or equal to 90% versus 50% to 89%. Conclusion: Pembrolizumab and cemiplimab were found to have long-term survival benefit and favorable genomic and immunophenotypic profile in patients with advanced NSCLC with PD-L1 TPS greater than or equal to 90% compared with TPS 50% to 89%.

Use of Preoperative Immunotherapy in Locally Advanced Unresectable Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Case Report.

Introduction: Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the second most common skin cancer. Surgery is the standard of care with curative intent of localized disease; however, for large head and neck cSCCs, it is associated with high morbidity. Cemiplimab, an antibody anti programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) protein, is effective in locally advanced unresectable or metastatic cSCC. A pilot study demonstrated a high rate of pathologic complete response using cemiplimab in the neoadjuvant setting. Case Presentation: Here, we report the case of an 84-year-old man with two locally advanced unresectable cSCCs (a nasolabial lesion and a retroauricular lesion) treated with cemiplimab, for whom closer follow-up revealed a complete response of the retroauricular lesion and a partial response of the nasolabial lesion after 4 cycles. Patient will be submitted to nasolabial lesion resection. Conclusion: This illustrates the efficacy of the use of cemiplimab as preoperative therapy in advanced unresectable cSCC, facilitating a definitive surgical treatment.

Severe hypersensitivity reactions to 2 immunotherapy agents in a patient with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.

DISCLAIMER: In an effort to expedite the publication of articles, AJHP is posting manuscripts online as soon as possible after acceptance. Accepted manuscripts have been peer-reviewed and copyedited, but are posted online before technical formatting and author proofing. These manuscripts are not the final version of record and will be replaced with the final article (formatted per AJHP style and proofed by the authors) at a later time. PURPOSE: There is currently limited data on cross-sensitivity between immunotherapy agents. In this case study, we report a case of severe anaphylaxis to both pembrolizumab and cemiplimab. SUMMARY: Pembrolizumab (Keytruda) and cemiplimab (Libtayo) are both approved for the treatment of metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. Infusion reactions occur rarely with immunotherapy agents. However, if infusion reactions are severe, the treatment should be discontinued, and there is no guidance as to whether another immunotherapy agent may be used. An 87-year-old-male was diagnosed with metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma expressing a PD-L1 combined positive score of 81%-90%. He was treated with pembrolizumab and, 15 minutes after completion of the first infusion, developed swelling of the eyelids, ears, and tongue in addition to a whole-body rash without pruritus. Due to the severity of the reaction, pembrolizumab was permanently discontinued and the patient was then started on cemiplimab. The patient received a high-dose corticosteroid as premedication before the first infusion of cemiplimab and tolerated the treatment without any adverse effects. However, when the corticosteroid premedication dose was decreased before the second cycle, the patient had a severe infusion reaction to cemiplimab requiring discontinuation. CONCLUSION: A patient with metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma developed a severe hypersensitivity reaction to pembrolizumab and subsequently to cemiplimab, despite premedication.

A phase 2 open-label study of cemiplimab in patients with advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (EMPOWER-CSCC-1): Final long-term analysis of groups 1, 2, and 3, and primary analysis of fixed-dose treatment group 6.

BACKGROUND: In the phase 2 EMPOWER-CSCC-1 study (NCT02760498), cemiplimab demonstrated antitumor activity against metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (mCSCC) and locally advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (laCSCC). OBJECTIVES: To report final analysis of weight-based cemiplimab in mCSCC and laCSCC (groups 1 and 2), fixed-dose cemiplimab in mCSCC (group 3), and primary analysis of fixed-dose cemiplimab in mCSCC/laCSCC (group 6). METHODS: Patients received cemiplimab (3 mg/kg intravenously every 2 weeks [groups 1 and 2]) or cemiplimab (350 mg intravenously [groups 3 and 6]) every 3 weeks. The primary end point was objective response rate (ORR). Duration of response (DOR) and progression-free survival (PFS) are presented per protocol, according to post-hoc sensitivity analyses that only include the period of protocol-mandated imaging assessments. RESULTS: At 42.5 months, ORR for groups 1-3 (n = 193) was 47.2%, estimated 12-month DOR was 88.3%, and median PFS was 26.0 months. At 8.7 months, ORR for group 6 (n = 165 patients) was 44.8%; median DOR and median PFS were not reached. Serious treatment-emergent adverse event rates (grade ≥3) were groups 1-3: 31.1% and group 6: 34.5%. LIMITATIONS: Nonrandomized study, nonsurvival primary end point. CONCLUSION: EMPOWER-CSCC-1 provides the largest prospective data on long-term efficacy and safety for anti-programmed cell death-1 therapy in advanced CSCC.

Induction chemotherapy with cemiplimab in a patient with coexistent vulvar cancer and autoimmune disease: A case report.

There is limited data regarding the use of immunotherapy for patients with vulvar squamous cell carcinoma and coexisting autoimmune disease. Cemiplimab is a PD-1 inhibitor approved for use in patients with locally advanced and metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. However, little is known about its efficacy in the setting of vulvar cancer. We present a case of advanced vulvar squamous cell carcinoma treated with induction chemotherapy and immunotherapy with cemiplimab followed by definitive chemoradiation in the setting of multiple autoimmune diseases. She achieved a complete clinical response and experienced no worsening of her autoimmune conditions despite cessation of her immunosuppressants and initiating an immune checkpoint inhibitor. We review existing data on neoadjuvant treatment of vulvar cancer and the use of cemiplimab in genital and inguinal squamous cell carcinomas. Ongoing exploration of cemiplimab's efficacy in vulvar cancer and safety in immunosuppressed patients is critical.

Cemiplimab monotherapy in Japanese patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer.

BACKGROUND: In the phase 3 EMPOWER-Cervical 1/GOG-3016/ENGOT-cx9 study, cemiplimab significantly improved overall survival (OS) versus chemotherapy for patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer who progressed after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. We present a post hoc subgroup analysis of patients enrolled in Japan. METHODS: Patients were enrolled regardless of programmed cell death-ligand 1 status and randomized 1:1 to cemiplimab 350 mg intravenously every 3 weeks or investigator's choice  single-agent chemotherapy for up to 96 weeks. Primary endpoint was OS. Key secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) and objective response rate (ORR). RESULTS: Overall, 608 patients were randomized, of whom 56 (9.2%) were in Japan (cemiplimab, n = 29; chemotherapy, n = 27). The median (range) duration of follow-up was 13.6 (6.0-25.3) versus 18.2 (6.0-38.2) months for patients in Japan and for the overall population, respectively. Median OS (95% confidence interval [CI]) was 8.4 (7.0-not evaluable) and 9.4 (5.4-14.9) months for cemiplimab versus chemotherapy (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.86; 95% CI: 0.43-1.68). Median PFS (95% CI) was 4.0 (1.4-8.2) versus 3.7 (1.8-4.2) months with cemiplimab and chemotherapy (HR: 0.90; 95% CI: 0.50-1.61), respectively. ORR was 17.2% for cemiplimab and 7.4% for chemotherapy (odds ratio, 2.47; 95% CI, 0.44-13.99). Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events at any grade was 79.3% for cemiplimab and 100% for chemotherapy. Grade ≥3 adverse events were 37.9% versus 66.7% with cemiplimab and chemotherapy, respectively. DISCUSSION: While acknowledging limitations inherent to a small subgroup analysis, the HR of 0.86 observed in Japanese patients suggests an emerging survival benefit despite a 4.6-month shorter median duration of follow-up versus the overall study population.

Images in Immunotherapy and Precision Oncology: Advanced Basal Cell Carcinoma.

A 62-year-old man presented with a slowly growing, painless lesion on his face. This eventually led to a progressive left-eye vision lesion, and the patient was subsequently diagnosed with advanced basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Of note, BCC involving cranial nerves is extremely rare, making this case unique and important to highlight. Standard treatment options for BCC involve surgery, radiation, or platinum-based chemotherapy. However, targeted therapies such as sonidegib and vismodegib - sonic hedgehog pathway inhibitors - have emerged that have been approved for treating BCC, as have anti-PD1 immunotherapies, such as cemiplimab, with their success likely based on the high tumor mutational burden seen in some of these tumors. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors also serve a role in treating this condition as well. Molecular studies on metastatic/advanced BCC and other rare malignancies may inform treatment therapeutic decisions.

Overexpression of CCL-20 and CXCL-8 genes enhances tumor escape and resistance to cemiplimab, a programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) inhibitor, in patients with locally advanced and metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.

Cemiplimab has demonstrated relevant clinical activity in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) but mechanisms of primary and acquired resistance to immunotherapy are still unknown. We collected clinical data from locally advanced and/or metastatic cSSC patients treated with cemiplimab in two Italian University centers. In addition, gene expression analysis by using Nanostring Technologies platform to evaluate 770 cancer- and immune-related genes on 20 tumor tissue samples (9 responders and 11 non-responders to cemiplimab) was performed. We enrolled 81 patients with a median age of 82 years. After 16.4 months of median follow-up, 12- and 24-months PFS were 53% and 42%, respectively; while 12- and 24-months OS were 71% and 61%, respectively. Treatment was well tolerated. Overall response rate (ORR) was 58%, with a disease control rate (DCR) of 77.8%. The difference between genes expressed in responder versus non-responder patient samples was substantial, particularly for genes involved in immune system regulation. Cemiplimab-resistant tumors were associated with over-expression of CCL-20 and CXCL-8. Cemiplimab confirmed efficacy and safety data in real-life cSCC patients. Overexpression of CCL-20 and CXCL-8 could represent biomarkers of lack of response to immunotherapy.

Generalized Eruptive Keratoacanthoma (GEKA) after Pfizer mRNABNT162b2 (Comirnaty®) COVID-19 Vaccination Successfully Treated with Cemiplimab.

In December 2020, a major vaccination program against COVID-19 commenced in Europe with vaccines such as Pfizer's mRNABNT162b2 (Comirnaty®). Subsequent reports of immediate and delayed skin reactions emerged. This study presents a case of a 64-year-old male who developed multiple keratoacanthomas approximately two weeks after receiving a second booster dose of the Pfizer vaccine. The patient, who had significant medical history of hypertension and diabetes, presented with erythematous, crateriform lesions on his limbs. A physical examination and histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of Generalized Eruptive Keratoacanthoma (GEKA). Treatment involved cemiplimab I.v. 350 mg administered every three weeks. Within two months, the patient showed significant improvement, with the disappearance of all lesions. Dermoscopy and histopathological exams supported the GEKA diagnosis, which is a rare variant of multiple keratoacanthomas. This case suggests a potential immune-mediated mechanism triggered by the COVID-19 vaccine, leading to the rapid development of keratoacanthomas. Treatment with cemiplimab showed promise, highlighting the potential of immune checkpoint inhibitors in managing multiple keratoacanthomas. Further research is needed to explore the efficacy and safety of such treatments.

Quality of life in cemiplimab-treated patients with locally advanced basal cell carcinoma in a Phase II clinical trial.

Aim: To evaluate health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in cemiplimab-treated patients with locally advanced basal cell carcinoma (laBCC).Materials & methods: Eighty-four patients with laBCC received cemiplimab 350 mg every 3 weeks (up to 9 cycles). HRQoL was assessed using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Core 30 (QLQ-C30) and Skindex-16 questionnaires at baseline and each cycle. Mixed-effects repeated-measures models evaluated change from baseline across cycles.Results: Clinically meaningful improvement or maintenance was reported by 62-90% of patients on QLQ-C30 scales and by approximately 80% on Skindex-16 scales at Cycle 2, with consistent results at Cycle 9 except fatigue.Conclusion: Most cemiplimab-treated patients with laBCC reported improvement or maintenance of HRQoL with low symptom burden except fatigue.Clinical Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT03132636, registered 28 April 2017.

Locally advanced basal cell carcinoma (laBCC) is a type of skin cancer that has the potential to invade surrounding tissues including bone, cartilage, nerve and muscle. Cemiplimab-rwlc is approved in the US for patients with laBCC following a therapy called hedgehog inhibitor (HHI) treatment or for whom HHIs are not appropriate. In a Phase II clinical trial, intravenous (in the vein) cemiplimab 350 mg every 3 weeks for up to nine treatment cycles resulted in clinically meaningful antitumor activity in patients with laBCC who progressed on or were intolerant to HHIs.This analysis evaluated health-related quality of life, symptom burden, emotions and functional status in these patients using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Core 30 (QLQ-C30) and Skindex-16 questionnaires. Baseline scores (scores at the start of the clinical trial) showed moderate to high levels of functioning and low symptom burden that, except for fatigue, were maintained or improved over the course of cemiplimab treatment. These results show that despite the presence of fatigue, health-related quality of life and functional status were maintained with cemiplimab across the study duration.

Real-World Treatment Patterns and Outcomes of Cemiplimab in Patients with Advanced Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma Treated in US Oncology Practices.

Background: Prior to the Food and Drug Administration approval of cemiplimab in 2018, the median overall survival (OS) for adult patients with advanced CSCC receiving systemic therapy was approximately 8 to 15 months. Limited real-world data are available on cemiplimab for this indication in the US. Patients and Methods: This retrospective cohort study included US patients with advanced CSCC initiating cemiplimab monotherapy in a real-world database (2018-2021). A clinical trial-like sub-cohort was identified using select criteria. Time to treatment discontinuation (TTD), time to next treatment (TTNT), and OS were estimated using Kaplan-Meier methods. Cox proportional hazard models were used to examine prognostic factors associated with OS in the main cohort. Results: The main cohort included 622 patients (n = 240 in the trial-like cohort). In the main cohort, the median age was 78 years, 77.8% were male, 21.4% were immunocompromised/immunosuppressed, and 63.8% had metastatic CSCC. Median (95% CI) TTD and TTNT were 8.0 (6.6-9.0) months and 16.4 (13.3-21.0) months, respectively, in the main cohort. Median (95% CI) OS was 24.8 (21.8-29.1) months in the main cohort (not reached in the trial-like cohort). In multivariable analyses, age <60 years (hazard ratio [HR], 0.37), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status <3-4 (HR range, 0.13-0.57), and primary CSCC location in the head and neck only versus extremities only (HR, 0.59) were associated with better OS. Similar OS was observed between patients who had immunosuppressing/immunocompromising conditions and those without. Conclusion: These findings confirm the effectiveness of cemiplimab among a heterogenous, real-world advanced CSCC patient population and substantiate the efficacy of cemiplimab observed in clinical trials.

Advanced and Metastatic Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer: Epidemiology, Risk Factors, Clinical Features, and Treatment Options.

Non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC) form the majority of skin cancers, with basal cell carcinoma (BCC) being the most common and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) being second. Prolonged ultraviolet (UV) exposure, aging, male gender, and immunosuppression represent most of the causes of this category of diseases. BCCs and cSCCs both include different types of skin cancers, such as nodular or morpheaform BCC or flat cSCC. Locally advanced and metastatic NMSCs cannot be treated surgically; thus, systemic therapy (TKI and Immunotherapy) is needed. Interestingly, NMSCs are frequently linked to abnormal Hedgehog (HH) signaling which most systemic immunotherapies for these cancers are based upon. Of note, the first line therapies of BCC, sonidegib and vismodegib, are HH inhibitors. Programmed death receptor 1 antibody (PD-1) inhibitors such as cemiplimab, pembrolizumab, and nivolumab have been approved for the treatment of cSCC. Thus, this paper reviews the epidemiology, risk factors, clinical features, and treatment options for both BCC and cSCC.

Real-world evidence study on the early use of cemiplimab in the UK: REACT-CEMI (Real World evidence of advanced CSCC treatment with cemiplimab).

Background: Cemiplimab was licensed in the United Kingdom (UK) in 2019 for the treatment of patients with locally advanced and metastatic CSCC not suitable for curative surgery or radiotherapy (advanced CSCC [aCSCC]). No UK multi-center studies have investigated the real-world experience of cemiplimab post marketing authorization in aCSCC. Methods: This non-interventional retrospective study (10 UK centers) involved data collection from medical records of patients with aCSCC who initiated cemiplimab treatment between 2 July 2019 and 30 November 2020. The study period was a minimum of 12 and a maximum of 36 months post cemiplimab initiation. The primary objective was to describe the real-world clinical effectiveness of cemiplimab (primary outcome: overall response rate [ORR]). Results: Of 105 patients, 70% (n=73/105) were male (median [range] age at index of 78.5 [55.4-93.2] years); most patients (63% [n=50/80]) had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score of 1 and 62% (n=63/102) had metastatic disease. The ORR within 12 months was 42% (95% confidence interval [CI] 32%-51%) and the disease control rate was 62% (n=65/105). The median (95% CI) real-world progression-free survival and overall survival from index was 8.6 (6.0-18.7) and 21.0 (14.7-25.2) months, respectively. The median (range) number of cemiplimab infusions was 11.0 (1.0-44.0). Eighty-seven percent experienced no cemiplimab treatment interruptions; 13% (n=14/105) interrupted treatment due to immune-related adverse reactions (irARs) (47% [n=9/19] of treatment interruption events). Eighty-five percent (n=89/105) of patients had discontinued cemiplimab treatment by the end of the study; where reasons for discontinuation were recorded, 20% (n=17/87) discontinued due to the completion of their 2-year treatment course. Nineteen percent (n=20/105) of patients experienced irARs. Conclusion: Effectiveness and safety data in this study are broadly similar to previous real-world studies of cemiplimab and the EMPOWER-CSCC1 clinical trial; with our cohort representing a broader population (included immunocompromised and transplant patients). Results support the use of cemiplimab for the treatment of aCSCC in a real-world setting.

Health-related quality of life in patients with metastatic basal cell carcinoma treated with cemiplimab: Analysis of a phase 2 trial.

BACKGROUND: A phase 2 cemiplimab study (NCT03132636) demonstrated a 24.1% objective response rate in patients diagnosed with metastatic basal cell carcinoma (mBCC) who were not candidates for continued hedgehog inhibitor (HHI) therapy due to intolerance to previous HHI therapy, disease progression while receiving HHI therapy, or having not better than stable disease on HHI therapy after 9 months. Here, health-related quality of life (QoL) for this patient population is reported. METHODS: Adult patients with mBCC were treated with intravenous cemiplimab at a dose of 350 mg every 3 weeks for 5 treatment cycles of 9 weeks/cycle then 4 treatment cycles of 12 weeks/cycle. Patients completed the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life-Core 30 (QLQ-C30) and Skindex-16 questionnaires at baseline and Day 1 of each cycle. Across Cycles 2 to 9, the overall change from baseline was analyzed using a mixed model with repeated measures. Responder analyses determined clinically meaningful improvement or deterioration (changes ≥10 points) or maintenance across all scales. RESULTS: Patients reported low symptom burden and moderate-to-high functioning at baseline. Maintenance for QLQ-C30 global health status (GHS)/QoL and across all functioning and symptom scales was indicated by overall mean changes from baseline. Clinically meaningful improvement or maintenance was reported at Cycle 2 for GHS/QoL (77%), functioning scales (77% to 86%), and symptom scales (70% to 93%), with similar proportions of improvement or maintenance at Cycles 6 and 9, excluding fatigue. On the Skindex-16, clinically meaningful improvement or maintenance was reported across the emotional, symptom, and functional subscales, in 76%-88% of patients at Cycle 2, which were generally maintained at Cycles 6 and 9. Overall mean changes from baseline showed maintenance across these subscales. CONCLUSIONS: The majority of patients treated with cemiplimab reported improvement or maintenance in GHS/QoL and functioning while maintaining a low symptom burden.

The Immunomodulatory Potential of Concurrent High-Dose Radiotherapy and Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Cemiplimab in Advanced Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Initial Results.

In this retrospective case series, we investigate the synergistic effect and the immunomodulatory potential of combination radiotherapy and immunotherapy on 11 patients affected by locally advanced or metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC), treated at our institution between 2020 and 2023. The primary endpoints of this study are objective tumor response, assessed by Immunotherapy Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (iRECIST), and time to treatment failure (disease progression). In all patients, surgery was deemed not amenable, due to its potential functional and aesthetic impact. Therefore, upon multidisciplinary agreement, radiotherapy and immunotherapy with cemiplimab were alternatively administered. After 6 months, an early objective tumor response was observed in 9/11 patients, with 17/20 cutaneous lesions (85%) presenting either a complete or partial response. Only 2/11 patients, with a total of 3/20 cutaneous lesions (15%), had stable disease. These benefits persisted at a longer follow-up (21.4 ± 9.7 months), with no patients presenting disease progression. Despite the retrospective nature of this study and small sample size, our experience highlights the ability of concomitant radiotherapy and cemiplimab to promote an early objective response in patients with advanced CSCC. Moreover, in our population, the clinical benefits were also related to a longer progression-free survival, without any safety alert reported.
