Durvalumab plus cisplatin and gemcitabine as first line therapy for advanced biliary tract carcinoma (aBTC): a monocentric retrospective experience (AIOM 2024)
The data presented in this study are consistent with the results of TOPAZ1 trial. However about a third of patients do not respond to CHT or have a short response duration. In our experience both NLR and basal elevated AST/ALT seem to be associated with an improved mPFS and a better outcome but further studies are needed.

Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Myopathy: The Double-Edged Sword of Cancer Immunotherapy. (PubMed, Neurology)
These monoclonal antibodies target immune checkpoints, including cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (ipilimumab and tremelimumab), programmed death 1 (nivolumab, pembrolizumab, cemiplimab, and dostarlimab), programmed death ligand 1 (atezolizumab, avelumab, and durvalumab), and lymphocyte activation gene 3 (relatlimab), and effectively augment the immune response against tumor cells. Despite clinical improvements with immunomodulatory therapy, with corticosteroids the mainstay of treatment, mortality remains high, particularly in those with associated myocarditis or respiratory failure requiring intubation, where mortality occurs in up to 50%. ICI withdrawal can lead to cancer progression and death, highlighting a need for improved approaches to ICI rechallenge, performed in limited patients with variable success to date.

Esophagomediastinal fistula during durvalumab plus tremelimumab with chemotherapy in angiotensin-converting enzyme 2-positive non-small cell lung cancer: a case report. (PubMed, Transl Lung Cancer Res)
The treatment regimen comprised durvalumab, tremelimumab, carboplatin, and nab-paclitaxel. Clinicians should be aware that COVID-19 might be associated with the development of severe irAEs and unexpectedly enhanced antitumor effects. The findings also suggest new fields of study regarding the interaction between viral infection and tumor immune response, which may inform future therapeutic approaches.

The combination of durvalumab and acalabrutinib showed encouraging preliminary clinical activity in a heavily pre-treated cohort with relapsed/refractory aggressive B-cell lymphoma. The combination was well tolerated and deliverable to a predominantly elderly and frail population and warrants further study in this context.

Durvalumab-Induced Immune Thrombocytopenia in Patients with Advanced Cholangiocarcinoma Undergoing Yttrium-90 Radioembolization. (PubMed, Case Rep Oncol)
Two patients, a 67-year-old female and a 60-year-old man, with biopsy-proven advanced unresectable cholangiocarcinoma, received a combination of systemic therapy with durvalumab, gemcitabine, and cisplatin and subsequently Y90-RE...Immunotherapy in the form of durvalumab and now pembrolizumab alongside chemotherapy is an approved first-line standard of care...This report highlights the development of ITP in 2 patients who received durvalumab alongside Y90-RE. Awareness of this as a potential immune-mediated event is important to allow for close monitoring of platelet counts and for early intervention/management when this occurs.

A comprehensive review of immune checkpoint inhibitors for cancer treatment. (PubMed, Int Immunopharmacol)
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have shown great success, with FDA-approved drugs like PD-1 inhibitors (Nivolumab, Pembrolizumab, Cemiplimab), PD-L1 inhibitors (Atezolizumab, Durvalumab, Avelumab), and CTLA-4 inhibitors (Ipilimumab, Tremelimumab), alongside LAG-3 inhibitor Relatlimab. This review aims to fill this gap by providing an analysis of the current clinical status of ICIs, emerging biomarkers, mechanisms of resistance, strategies to enhance therapeutic efficacy, and assessment of adverse effects. This review is crucial to furthering our understanding of ICIs and optimizing their application in cancer therapy.

A case of successful conversion surgery for unresectable gallbladder cancer treated with durvalumab in combination with gemcitabine plus cisplatin. (PubMed, Clin J Gastroenterol)
The patient continued adjuvant chemotherapy with single-agent durvalumab every 4 weeks and maintained a relapse-free survival of 8 months postoperatively. The utility of durvalumab in combination with gemcitabine plus cisplatin in unresectable gallbladder cancer independent of programmed death ligand-1 expression has been confirmed and may be an important option in future multimodal treatment, including conversion surgery.
