Safety, Activity, and Immune Correlates of Anti–PD-1 Antibody in Cancer

Conclusions

Anti–PD-1 antibody produced objective responses in approximately one in four to one in five patients with non–small-cell lung cancer, melanoma, or renal-cell cancer; the adverse-event profile does not appear to preclude its use. Preliminary data suggest a relationship between PD-L1 expression on tumor cells and objective response. (Funded by Bristol-Myers Squibb and others; ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00730639.)

Aprobado un fármaco que quintuplica la supervivencia al melanoma metastásico

El Ministerio de Sanidad ha aprobado el uso y la financiación pública del ipilimumab, una novedosa inmunoterapia contra el melanoma metastásico. Según los ensayos del laboratorio que lo ha desarrollado, BMS, este fármaco prolonga la supervivencia de los afectados de una media de seis o nueve meses a hasta cinco años.

Cell - Antibody-Based Immunotherapy of Cancer

Louis M. Weiner,Joseph C. Murray,Casey W. Shuptrine

By targeting surface antigens expressed on tumor cells, monoclonal antibodies have demonstrated efficacy as cancer therapeutics. Recent successful antibody-based strategies have focused on enhancing antitumor immune responses by targeting immune cells, irrespective of tumor antigens. We discuss these innovative strategies and propose how they will impact the future of antibody-based cancer therapy.
