    Abstract Immunotherapy has been used in localized urothelial carcinoma for decades, especially in the treatment of superficial disease, in which instillation of BCG is a commonly used treatment option. Clinical investigations based on new insights into the immunogenic potential of metastatic urothelial carcinoma have led to the accelerated FDA approval of the immune checkpoint inhibitors atezolizumab, nivolumab, durvalumab, avelumab, and pembrolizumab. Preliminary findings suggest additional benefits of combinations of immunotherapeutic agents as a future treatment approach in metastatic urothelial carcinoma. Treatment experience with immunotherapy suggests that these drugs are associated with a unique spectrum of immune-related adverse events and specific immune-related patterns of response, including cases of pseudoprogression, which could impede the optimal use of immune checkpoint inhibitors in the clinic. Appropriate management of immune-related adverse events and a greater awareness of immune-mediated response patterns will help to inform treatment decisions and improve patient outcomes; predictive biomarkers of response might facilitate selection of patients who are most likely to respond to and benefit from these exciting new treatments.

    Abstract The authors of a recent study identified noncanonical peptides (NCP) presented by cancer cells' HLA and observed lack of reactivity to these antigens by endogenous tumor-reactive T cells. In vitro sensitization generated NCP-reactive T cells that recognized epitopes shared by a majority of cancers tested, providing opportunities for novel therapies to shared antigens.

    Abstract The concept of using immunotherapy to treat melanoma has existed for decades. The rationale comes from the knowledge that many patients with melanoma have endogenous immune responses against their tumor cells and clinically meaningful tumor regression can be achieved in a minority of patients using cytokines such as interleukin-2 and adoptive cellular therapy. In the last 5 years there has been a revolution in the clinical management of melanoma in large measure based on the development of antibodies that influence T cell regulatory pathways by overcoming checkpoint inhibition and providing co-stimulation, either of which results in significantly more effective immune-mediated tumor destruction. This review will describe the pre-clinical and clinical application of antagonistic antibodies targeting the T-cell checkpoints cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) and programmed death 1 (PD-1), and agonistic antibodies targeting the costimulatory pathways OX40 and 4-1BB. Recent progress and opportunities for future investigation of combination antibody therapy will be described.

    Abstract Background: Overexpression of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and its ligands occur frequently in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Combined vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGF-R) and EGFR inhibition may overcome resistance to VEGF-R inhibitor monotherapy. We performed a dose-escalation phase II study of sunitinib plus erlotinib in advanced renal cell carcinoma.
    Patients and methods: Patients with metastatic clear cell or papillary RCC were eligible. Prior therapy was allowed except sunitinib or erlotinib. Three dose levels of erlotinib (50, 100, 150 mg daily) were evaluated in combination with sunitinib 50 mg. Thirty-seven patients were treated at maximum tolerated dose to determine efficacy. The primary endpoint was 8-month progression-free survival (PFS) rate. The trial was powered to assess for a difference between a median PFS of less than 50% with a targeted 70% PFS for the combination.
    Results: The 8-month PFS rate was 40% (95% CI: 23-56). Median PFS was 5.8 months (95% CI: 4.1-9.7) and median overall survival (OS) was 26.3 months (95% CI: 16.1-34.0). The objective response rate was 22% and an additional 59% of patients had stable disease for at least 6 weeks. The most common adverse events for all grades were diarrhea, rash, fatigue, and dysgeusia. Dose reduction in 1 or both of the drugs was undertaken in 17 (46%) patients, while 5 (14%) discontinued study therapy due to toxicity.
    Conclusion: While sunitinib and erlotinib are combinable,the 8-month PFS rate did not suggest efficacy improvement over sunitinib monotherapy (NCT00425386).

    Abstract Background: Aberrant PI3K/AKT signaling in BRAF-mutant cancers contributes to resistance to BRAF inhibitors. The authors examined dual MAPK and PI3K pathway inhibition in patients who had BRAF-mutated solid tumors (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT01902173).
    Methods: Patients with BRAF V600E/V600K-mutant solid tumors received oral dabrafenib at 150 mg twice daily with dose escalation of oral uprosertib starting at 50 mg daily, or, in the triplet cohorts, with dose escalation of both oral trametinib starting at 1.5 mg daily and oral uprosertib starting at 25 mg daily. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were assessed within the first 56 days of treatment. Radiographic responses were assessed at 8-week intervals.
    Results: Twenty-seven patients (22 evaluable) were enrolled in parallel doublet and triplet cohorts. No DLTs were observed in the doublet cohorts (N = 7). One patient had a DLT at the maximum administered dose of triplet therapy (dabrafenib 150 mg twice daily and trametinib 2 mg daily plus uprosertib 75 mg daily). Three patients in the doublet cohorts had partial responses (including one who had BRAF inhibitor-resistant melanoma). Two patients in the triplet cohorts had a partial response, and one patient had an unconfirmed partial response. Pharmacokinetic data suggested reduced dabrafenib and dabrafenib metabolite exposure in patients who were also exposed to both trametinib and uprosertib, but not in whose who were exposed to uprosertib without trametinib.
    Conclusions: Concomitant inhibition of both the MAPK and PI3K-AKT pathways for the treatment of BRAF-mutated cancers was well tolerated, leading to objective responses, but higher level drug-drug interactions affected exposure to dabrafenib and its metabolites.

    Abstract Introduction: High-dose interleukin-2 (HD IL-2) and pembrolizumab are each approved as single agents by the U.S. F.D.A. for the treatment of metastatic melanoma. There is limited data using the agents concurrently. The objectives of this study were to characterize the safety profile of IL-2 in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma.
    Methods: In this Phase Ib study, patients received pembrolizumab (200 mg IV every 3 weeks) and escalating doses of IL-2 (6,000 or 60,000 or 600,000 IU/kg IV bolus every 8 hours up to 14 doses per cycle) in cohorts of 3 patients. Prior treatment with a PD-1 blocking antibody was allowed. The primary endpoint was the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of IL-2 when co-administered with pembrolizumab.
    Results: Ten participants were enrolled, and 9 participants were evaluable for safety and efficacy. The majority of the evaluable participants (8/9) had been treated with PD-1 blocking antibody prior to enrollment. Patients received a median of 42, 22, and 9 doses of IL-2 in the low, intermediate, and high dose cohorts, respectively. Adverse events were more frequent with increasing doses of IL-2. No dose limiting toxicities were observed. The MTD of IL-2 was not reached. One partial response occurred in 9 patients (11%). The responding patient, who had received treatment with an anti-PD-1 prior to study entry, was treated in the HD IL-2 cohort.
    Discussion: Although the sample size was small, HD IL-2 therapy in combination with pembrolizumab appears feasible and tolerable.
