7 juni 2017: omdat ik inhoudelijk alles alleen doe ben ik nog niet toegekomen aan de meeste van deze studies. Enkele wel die zijn verwerkt in onze nieuwsbrief van 7 juni 2017, maar ik wil het zorgvuldig doen en er soms ook bijbehorende informatie bij zoeken. En dat kost gewoon heel veel tijd.
Maar Cancer Research heeft alle studies die te maken hebben met immuuntherapie geselecteerd met link naar abstract. Ik heb hun lijst gekopieerd en per kankersoort ingedeeld op alfabetische volgorde volgens Nederlandse namen:

- In a phase I/II clinical trial, cabiralizumab (anti-CSF1R immunomodulator therapy) showed promising activity in patients with tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT). http://abstracts.asco.org/199/AbstView_199_194699.html
- The pre-treatment expression of certain microRNAs was able to predict which patients with esophageal cancer would respond to nivolumab (anti-PD-1 checkpoint immunotherapy). http://abstracts.asco.org/199/AbstView_199_187376.html
- In a phase II clinical trial, a peptide-based cancer vaccine was able to induce strong anti-tumor immune responses and was better at preventing relapse after surgery (compared to the control) in patients with esophageal cancer. http://abstracts.asco.org/199/AbstView_199_187804.html
- In a phase I clinical trial, the combination of pembrolizumab (anti-PD-1 checkpoint immunotherapy) and ramucirumab (anti-VEGFR2 antibody immunotherapy) showed promise in patients with gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma, both as a first-line treatment and after previous treatment with other therapies. http://abstracts.asco.org/199/AbstView_199_184481.html
- The presence of microsatellite instability (MSI) or high mutational load (>10 mutations / million base pairs) in the tumors of esophagogastric cancer patients were much more likely to benefit from immunotherapy (either anti-PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint immunotherapy, or combined anti-PD-1/PD-L1 + anti-CTLA-4 checkpoint immunotherapy). http://abstracts.asco.org/199/AbstView_199_191437.html
In a phase I/II clinical trial, the checkpoint immunotherapy combination of nivolumab (anti-PD-1) and ipilimumab (anti-CTLA-4) provided long-term survival benefits in patients with advanced/metastatic gastroesophageal cancer. (Dung T. Le, M.D., was the senior author of this work, in which Padmanee Sharma, M.D., and Dirk Jaeger, M.D., were also involved.) http://abstracts.asco.org/199/AbstView_199_185268.html
Varia aan studies:
- An online tool was developed to help healthcare providers deal with immune-related adverse events after immunotherapy. Thus far the tool has recommended an alternative course of action in 49% of queries, and 93% of healthcare providers said that they incorporated this advice into their decision making. (Jeffrey S. Weber, M.D., was involved in this work.) http://abstracts.asco.org/199/AbstView_199_190591.html
