Baseline Peripheral Blood Biomarkers Associated with Clinical Outcome of Advanced Melanoma Patients Treated with Ipilimumab.
PURPOSE To identify baseline peripheral blood biomarkers associated with clinical outcome following ipilimumab treatment in advanced melanoma patients. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Frequencies of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) and regulatory T cells (Treg), serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), routine blood counts, and clinical characteristics were assessed in 209 patients. Endpoints were overa...
متن کاملImproved survival with ipilimumab in patients with metastatic melanoma.
BACKGROUND An improvement in overall survival among patients with metastatic melanoma has been an elusive goal. In this phase 3 study, ipilimumab--which blocks cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 to potentiate an antitumor T-cell response--administered with or without a glycoprotein 100 (gp100) peptide vaccine was compared with gp100 alone in patients with previously treated metastatic ...
متن کاملAssociation of CTLA-4 Gene Variants with Response to Therapy and Long-term Survival in Metastatic Melanoma Patients Treated with Ipilimumab: An Italian Melanoma Intergroup Study
Ipilimumab (IPI) blocks CTLA-4 immune checkpoint resulting in T cell activation and enhanced antitumor immunity. IPI improves overall survival (OS) in 22% of patients with metastatic melanoma (MM). We investigated the association of CTLA-4 single nucleotide variants (SNVs) with best overall response (BOR) to IPI and OS in a cohort of 173 MM patients. Patients were genotyped for six CTLA-4 SNVs ...
متن کاملSurvival of melanoma patients with brain metastases treated with ipilimumab and stereotactic radiosurgery
UNLABELLED Historically, melanoma with brain metastases has a poor prognosis. In this retrospective medical record review, we report the outcome of patients with stage IV melanoma with brain metastases treated with ipilimumab and brain stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). All patients with metastatic melanoma treated with ipilimumab from June 2010 to September 2012 were identified and stratified by...
متن کاملIpilimumab (Yervoy) Prolongs Survival in Advanced Melanoma
INTRODUCTION Melanoma, a cancer originating in melanocytes, is the most deadly form of skin cancer and the sixth leading type of cancer in the U.S.1 According to the World Health Organization, approximately 53,000 people die of melanoma each year worldwide.2 In 2011, an estimated 70,230 adults were diagnosed with melanoma in the U.S., and 8,790 died of the disease.3,4 This may be an underestima...
