Determinants of Long-Term Survival in Metastatic Choroidal and Ciliary Body Melanoma

Elina S. Rantala, Raffaele Parrozzani, Micaela M. Hernberg, Vanna Chiarion-Sileni, Tero T. Kivela, Edoardo Midena

Summary: The study aims to build and validate a prognostic model for predicting long-term overall survival in metastatic choroidal and ciliary body melanoma. The study analyzed the predictors of intermediate and long-term survival in a Finnish cohort, and validated the models using an Italian cohort. The results showed that alkaline phosphatase or lactate dehydrogenase >2 times the upper normal limit essentially precluded long-term survival, and the most robust predictor was distant metastasis-free interval >42 months.

IFN-y Signaling Sensitizes Melanoma Cells to BH3 Mimetics

Summary: Immunotherapy targeting PD-1 and/or CTLA4 can lead to durable responses in some melanoma patients. However, treatment resistance and lack of response are common. This study identifies a vulnerability in melanoma driven by immune cell activity, providing potential strategies for combination therapies.

Genomic Profiling of Metastatic Basal cell Carcinoma Reveals Candidate Drivers of Disease and Therapeutic Targets

Ismael A. Vergara, Karina Aivazian, Matteo S. Carlino, Alexander D. Guminski, Nigel G. Maher, Kerwin F. Shannon, Sydney Ch'ng, Robyn P. M. Saw, Georgina Long, James S. Wilmott, Richard A. Scolyer

Summary: Basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) are the most common malignant tumors in humans and are usually easily managed by surgery or topical therapies. However, metastatic BCCs are rare and may have distinct biological characteristics. Through genomic profiling, aberrant activation of Hedgehog signaling and alterations in multiple signaling pathways were identified in metastatic BCCs. The presence of clonal origin in matched local recurrences and metastases suggests that molecular profiling can assist in determining the nature and origin of poorly differentiated metastatic tumors. Dysregulation of the Hippo and PI3K/AKT pathways were implicated in the metastatic progression of BCCs, making them potential therapeutic targets.

Efficacy of ipilimumab 3 mg/kg following progression on low-dose ipilimumab in metastatic melanoma

Summary: This study investigates the efficacy of a combination therapy strategy involving low-dose ipilimumab (IPI) and an anti-PD1 antibody in advanced melanoma. The results show that the majority of patients who progress following low-dose IPI and subsequently receive IPI 3 mg/kg (IPI3) have a positive response to this treatment. This suggests that the dosage of IPI is critical for certain patients.

Health-related quality of life in patients with melanoma brain metastases treated with immunotherapy

Summary: This study investigated the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of melanoma brain metastasis (MBM) patients undergoing ipilimumab-nivolumab or nivolumab treatment for 18 weeks. The results showed that there was no significant deterioration in HRQoL for MBM patients treated with either ipilimumab-nivolumab or nivolumab within the first 18 weeks of treatment initiation.

Changes in body mass index, weight, and waist-to-hip ratio over five years in HIV-positive individuals in the HIV Heart Aging Study compared to the general population

Summary: Our study evaluated the changes in weight, body-mass-index (BMI), and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) over a 5-year follow-up in people living with HIV (PLH) compared to the general population. The results showed that PLH had greater increases in weight and BMI after 5 years, but lower WHR change compared to the general population.

Case series: Immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced transverse myelitis

Summary: Four cases of ICI-induced transverse myelitis were reported in Australia. All patients had clinical evidence of inflammation in the cerebrospinal fluid and longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis on MRI spine. Prompt intensive immunomodulation is favored to reduce morbidity and mortality, and there is a risk of relapse after cessation of immunomodulatory therapy.

Health-related quality of life with nivolumab plus relatlimab versus nivolumab monotherapy in patients with previously untreated unresectable or metastatic melanoma: RELATIVITY-047 trial

Summary: The RELATIVITY-047 trial demonstrates that the fixed-dose combination of nivolumab plus relatlimab improves progression-free survival in patients with advanced melanoma while maintaining stable health-related quality of life. Although the combination treatment is associated with a higher incidence of severe adverse events, patients' discomfort with these events is low, supporting NIVO + RELA as a first-line treatment option.

Summary: In this study, a deep learning method was used to analyze histological tissue sections of melanoma patients, enabling accurate detection of lymph node metastasis and providing valuable reference for pathologists. The method was able to identify the size and classify the tumor, which is of great significance for prognosis assessment and treatment planning.

Summary: Stage IIB/IIC melanoma has a high risk of recurrence, but adjuvant therapies such as anti-PD-1 antibodies and BRAF MEK inhibitor therapy show promise in improving survival. The ongoing COLUMBUS-AD trial investigates the effectiveness of a BRAF-MEK inhibitor combination therapy in patients with BRAF-mutated IIB/IIC melanoma.
