Positive objective response results were demonstrated in the first stage of the phase 2 SCOPE trial. Now, 27 additional patients with advanced melanoma will be treated with SCIB1 and checkpoint inhibitors in stage 2.
Clinical Trials
Two mRNA Cancer Vaccines Advance to Next Stage of Clinical Trials
A personalized melanoma vaccine enters a Phase III study, while a pancreatic cancer vaccine moves on to Phase II.
Study Reinforces BRAF-MEK Inhibition Over Anti-BRAF Only in Advanced Melanoma
Combined BRAF-MEK inhibition for advanced BRAF-mutant melanoma led to significantly better progression-free survival (PFS) as compared with single-agent BRAF inhibition, according to a randomized trial.
Biomarker Analysis Contextualizes RFS Benefit With Nivolumab in Metastatic Melanoma
Brian Gastman MD, discusses how findings from CheckMate76K contributed to the rationale for a biomarker analysis in that trial’s patient population, key findings from this biomarker analysis, and how these findings may inform further research regarding the benefits of immunotherapy in earlier-stage disease.
