QL1706 (anti-PD-1 IgG4/CTLA-4 antibody) plus chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab in advanced non-small cell lung cancer: a multi-cohort, phase II study. (PubMed, Signal Transduct Target Ther)
Overall, QL1706 plus chemotherapy, regardless of having bevacizumab, was generally tolerable and had promising antitumor activity for EGFR wild-type advanced NSCLC in first-line setting. Moreover, QL1706 plus chemotherapy and bevacizumab showed favorable antitumor activity for patients who had EGFR mutated NSCLC but failed in TKI therapy, demonstrating a potential for treating this population.

CTLA-4 antibody-drug conjugate reveals autologous destruction of B-lymphocytes associated with regulatory T cell impairment. (PubMed, Elife)
Here, we probe the decline of B cells in human CTLA-4 knock-in mice by using anti-human CTLA-4 antibody Ipilimumab conjugated to a drug payload emtansine (Anti-CTLA-4 ADC)...B cell depletion is mediated by both CD4 and CD8 T cells and at least partially rescued by anti-TNF-alpha antibody. These data revealed an unexpected antagonism between T and B cells and the importance of regulatory T cells in preserving B cells.

Anti-CTLA-4 Antibody Might Be Effective Against Non-small Cell Lung Cancer With Large Size Tumor. (PubMed, Anticancer Res)
Anti-PD-1 antibody monotherapy might be less effective against large NSCLC due to the infiltration of Treg cells. Therefore, it might be appropriate for large NSCLC to select a treatment including an anti-CTLA-4 antibody, which can target Treg cells.

An oral cancer vaccine using Bifidobacterium vector augments combination of anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 antibodies in mouse renal cell carcinoma model. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
Recently, immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) based combination therapies, including anti-PD-1 antibody, nivolumab with anti-CTLA-4 antibody, and ipilimumab have become the primary treatment option for metastatic or unresectable renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Our microbiome analysis revealed that the proportion of Lactobacilli was significantly increased by B. longum 420. Although the detailed mechanism of action is unknown, it is possible that microbiome alteration by B. longum 420 enhances the efficacy of the ICIs.

Treatment with doxorubicin and PD-1/CTLA-4 blockade improves T cell activation and anti-tumor efficacy in MCA-205 murine fibrosarcoma (P472) (IMMUNOLOGY 2023)
MCA-205 tumors were generated in C57BL/6 mice and were treated with DOX, anti-PD1 (RMP1-14), anti-CTLA4 (9D9 mouse IgG2b) or a mouse surrogate of botensilimab, an anti-CTLA4 (9D9 mouse IgG2b.DLE) antibody with enhanced binding to FcγR, or combination DOX plus anti-PD-1/CTLA-4. Pathway analysis from bulk RNA sequencing demonstrated upregulation of T cell activation in DOX/PD-1/CTLA-4 tumors compared to control tumors. Further work will correlate these findings with human STS patients receiving DOX plus CTLA-4/PD-1 blockade in an ongoing clinical trial (NCT04028063).
