    Abstract Background: Combining immune checkpoint therapy (ICT) and vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors (VEGFi) may result in increased treatment-related and immune-related adverse events (TRAEs and irAEs) compared to ICT alone. This metanalysis was conducted to identify prospective phase II or III clinical studies that evaluated the toxicity profile of ICT + VEGFi compared to ICT alone.
    Methods: A systematic search was performed across all cancer types and major databases until August 10, 2022, and screening was done by two independent investigators. Inclusion criteria included phase 2 or 3 studies with at least one arm of patients treated with combination therapy and one arm treated with monotherapy. Adverse event data were pooled using a restricted maximum likelihood fixed effects model, and heterogeneity using Cochran's Q (chi-square) test.
    Results: 7 out of 9366 studies met the inclusion criteria, and 808 and 927 patients were treated with ICT monotherapy and a combination of ICT with VEGFi, respectively. Only one study reported irAEs, so the analysis was restricted to TRAEs. The total number of TRAEs was significantly higher in the ICT + VEGFi group (RR:1.49; 95% CI 1.37 -1.62; p=1.5×10-21), and more frequent treatment withdrawals were attributed to TRAEs (RR:3.10; 95% CI 1.12-8.59; p=0.029). The highest TRAE effect size increases noted for rash (RR 6.50; 95% CI 3.76 - 11.25; p=2.1×10-11), hypertension (RR:6.07; 95% CI 3.69-10.00; p=1.3×10-12), hypothyroidism (RR:5.02; 95% CI 3.08 - 8.19; p=8.9×10-11), and diarrhea (RR:4.94; 95% CI 3.21-7.62; p=3.8×10-13). Other significantly more frequent TRAEs included nausea, anemia, anorexia, and proteinuria.
    Conclusion: Combination therapy with ICT and VEGFi carries a higher risk of certain TRAEs, such as rash, hypertension, hypothyroidism, diarrhea, nausea, anorexia, and proteinuria, compared to ICT monotherapy. More granular details on the cause of AEs, particularly irAEs, should be provided in future trials of such regimens.

    Abstract Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes that are integral to the body's innate immunity, resulting in a rapid immune response to stressed or infected cells in an antigen-independent manner. The innate immune system plays an important role in the recognition of tumor-derived stress-related factors and is critical to subsequent adaptive immune responses against tumor antigens. The aim of this review is to discuss mechanisms by which tumor cells evade NK cells and to outline strategies that harness NK cells for cancer immunotherapy. We discuss strategies to relieve the exhausted state of NK cells, recent therapies focused on targeting NK-cell-specific activating and inhibitory receptors, the use of cytokines IL-2 and IL-15 to stimulate autologous or allogeneic NK cells, and ongoing trials exploring the use of genetically modified NK cells and chimeric antigen-receptor-modified NK (CAR-NK) cells.

    Abstract Introduction: Merkel Cell Carcinoma (MCC) is a rare aggressive skin cancer, mostly affecting elderly patients. Until recently, patients with advanced disease were treated with cytotoxic chemotherapies despite rapid chemoresistance and high toxicity. As with other cancers, immune checkpoint inhibitors (CPI), including pembrolizumab, allow durable responses with a manageable safety profile in these patients.
    Areas covered: This review describes the rationale for using PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in MCC, as well as efficacy and safety results from the three open-label trials investigating pembrolizumab or other PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in patients with advanced MCC. Real-life experience and predictive pre-treatment biomarkers are discussed to assess which patients are likely to be candidates for such strategies. Ongoing fields of research include the use of CPI in the adjuvant or neoadjuvant setting and combined strategies in refractory patients.

    Abstract Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a neuroendocrine skin cancer. The clinical impact of MCC has been increasing due to steadily rising incidence rates. Since 2001, more than 24,000 cases of MCC have been reported to the US National Program of Cancer Registries database, and in 2018, more than 2,500 incident cases are expected. MCC is highly aggressive, and one-third of patients will either present with or develop metastatic disease. Outcomes in patients with metastatic MCC have historically been poor; median time to progression with cytotoxic chemotherapy is only 3 months. MCC has long been appreciated to be immunogenic, with reports of spontaneous regression and responsiveness to immunotherapy. However, the mechanisms of this immunogenicity have only been understood over the past decade, with approximately 80% of cases in the United States associated with the Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) and expression of viral antigens (virus-positive [VP] MCC), and the remaining 20% of cases caused by UV radiation-induced damage leading to a high mutational burden and expression of neoantigens (virus-negative [VN] MCC). These insights have led to multiple successful trials of immunotherapies for MCC. PD-1 axis checkpoint inhibitors are now regarded as the preferred frontline systemic therapy in eligible patients (including both VP- and VN-MCC), with impressive frequency, durability, and depth of objective responses, which compare favorably to those of most solid tumors. This article reviews the safety and efficacy data from the key clinical trials of immune checkpoint inhibitors for metastatic MCC, and discusses several issues relevant to the clinical use of these agents. Finally, emerging immunotherapies for MCC, including cellular therapies and adjuvant systemic therapies, are reviewed.
