    Abstract Background: Reliable biomarkers in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remain elusive. While several markers have been shown to be associated with prognosis, and may aid in risk assessment, predictive biomarkers of response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have not been established. Previous studies have shown that a high pretreatment neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a negative prognostic factor in RCC. However, a clinically useful cut-off for the predictive and prognostic value of NLR has not been well defined.
    Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 132 patients with previously untreated metastatic clear cell RCC (ccRCC) who received first line ICI-based therapy. ICI-based therapy included anti-PD-1/PD-L1 alone or in combination with anti-CTLA-4 or VEGF-TKI. Platelet, haemoglobin, neutrophil and lymphocyte counts were collected prior to treatment and at 12-weeks after treatment initiation. Radiologic response at 12-weeks and overall survival (OS) data was also collected.
    Results: Low haemoglobin, high platelet count, and NLR ≥3 were statistically significant negative predictive biomarkers when assessed at 12-weeks, but not at baseline. Median OS was shorter in patients with low haemoglobin (20.3 months vs. 51.6 months, P = .009), high platelet count (14.3 months vs. 43.8 months, P = .003), and NLR ≥ 3 (17.5 months vs. 40.3 months, P < .001) at 12-weeks. In an IMDC-risk adjusted analysis, only NLR ≥3 at 12-weeks remained statistically significant (OR of 2.11, P = .003) A dynamic change towards lower absolute NLR overtime was associated with longer OS. In patients who had baseline NLR ≥ 3, those who achieved NLR < 3 at 12-weeks demonstrated significant longer median OS compared to those whose NLR remained persistently ≥ 3 (40.3 months vs. 14.7 months, P = .004).
    Conclusion: NLR ≥3, low haemoglobin and elevated platelet count after 12-weeks of ICI-based first line therapy were negatively prognostic and predictive in patients with metastatic RCC. Normalization of NLR in patients with baseline elevation was associated with longer median OS and response to therapy. These results suggest that monitoring of routine haematologic biomarkers during therapy may provide important predictive and prognostic information, beyond what is available with baseline risk assessment scoring systems.

    Abstract Introduction: Outcomes for patients with advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (UC) remain poor. Targeting the programmed death ligand-1 (PD-(L)1) immune checkpoint pathway has emerged as a useful target in patients with UC. Avelumab is a PD-L1 inhibitor, resulting in restoration of a cytotoxic, antitumor T cell response. Results from the JAVELIN bladder 100 trial has resulted in a new standard of care of platinum-based chemotherapy sequenced by maintenance avelumab in advanced or metastatic UC.
    Areas covered: This review covers the clinical evidence for avelumab in UC. This includes the maintenance approach with avelumab, which has become the standard of care, following platinum-based chemotherapy.
    Expert opinion: Immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment in metastatic UC holds much promise, but has not been optimized. First-line maintenance avelumab is an attractive option for these patients. Future research will significantly change the landscape of treatment in the near future.

    Abstract The standard-of-care for muscle-invasive bladder cancer is radical surgery with neoadjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy. Despite curative intent from these interventions, relapse rates post-surgery remain high, with approximately 50% of patients developing local or distant recurrence within 2 years of surgery and a 5-year survival of only 50-60%. Identifying patients who are high risk for relapse post-surgery is a priority. Monitoring patients for circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a minimally invasive approach that appears attractive for selecting patients potentially suitable for adjuvant treatment with checkpoint inhibitors. IMvigor011 (NCT04660344) is a global, double-blind, randomized phase III study assessing the efficacy of atezolizumab (anti-PD-L1) versus placebo in patients with high-risk muscle-invasive bladder cancer who are ctDNA positive post-cystectomy. The primary end point is disease-free survival in participants who are ctDNA positive within 20 weeks of cystectomy.

    Abstract Immune checkpoint inhibitors are the standard-of-care front-line treatment option for PD-L1-positive, cisplatin-ineligible metastatic urothelial carcinoma. The data supporting this are based on two single-arm trials. Randomised trials to confirm these findings and test new combinations have recently been performed. It was hoped that these trials would clarify some of the previous uncertainties. In this report we summarise the findings from these trials and perform a combined analysis. The results show that immune checkpoint inhibitor monotherapy is not superior to chemotherapy as things currently stand. The chemoimmunotherapy combination shows a probable efficacy signal, but this appears to be insufficient to change practice. PATIENT SUMMARY: In this report, we summarise the outcomes of three recent trials that investigated immunotherapy (IMT) on its own and combined with chemotherapy (CT) for patients with metastatic bladder cancer who had not previously received any treatment. We show that IMT on its own is not better than CT for these patients. There is a sign that combined CT and IMT probably has a benefit, but it does not seem to be large enough to justify a change in treatment recommendations.

    Abstract Cytokines are soluble proteins that mediate intercellular signaling regulating immune and inflammatory responses. Cytokine modulation represents a promising cancer immunotherapy approach for immune-mediated tumor regression. However, redundancy in cytokine signaling and cytokines' pleiotropy, narrow therapeutic window, systemic toxicity, short half-life and limited efficacy represent outstanding challenges for cytokine-based cancer immunotherapies. Recently, there has been interest in the paradoxical role of IL-10 in cancer, its controversial prognostic utility and novel strategies to enhance its therapeutic profile. Here, the authors review the literature surrounding the role of IL-10 within the tumor microenvironment, its prognostic correlates to cancer patient outcomes and its pro- and antitumor effects, and they assess the legitimacy of potential therapeutic strategies harnessing IL-10 by outlining the notable preclinical and clinical evidence to date.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Over the past few years the treatment options for renal cell cancer (RCC) have rapidly evolved. Even in the setting of metastatic disease, a consistent component of treatment in RCC patients has been cytoreductive nephrectomy based on the results of research carried out over a decade ago. Despite huge shifts in systemic treatment modalities, cytoreductive nephrectomy continued to be recommended despite a lack of evidence for its use in metastatic RCC in those patients receiving state-of-the-art therapies.
    Recent findings: To address the lack of evidence, two recent trials [Cancer du Rein Metastatique Nephrectomie et Antiangioge[Combining Acute Accent]niques (CARMENA) and SURTIME] sought to assess the role and sequence of cytoreductive nephrectomy in metastatic RCC patients receiving vascular endothelial growth factor-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment. The results of one of these trials, namely CARMENA, demonstrated no benefit of cytoreductive nephrectomy when used in combination with the vascular endothelial growth factor-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor Sunitinib. However, with further developments in medical treatment and questions regarding the specific methods of the trial - do these results change everything for the role of cytoreductive nephrectomy?
    Summary: While the results from CARMENA and SURTIME are not conclusive, they suggest that those patients with advanced disease requiring systemic therapy should indeed receive this first prior to any cytoreductive nephrectomy.
