9536 Background: Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are potent suppressors of antitumor immunity and commonly associated with poor outcomes in melanoma patients treated immune checkpoint inhibitors. Inducing the differentiation MDSCs using all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) reduces MDSC frequency. This analysis seeks to assess safety efficacy combining ATRA pembrolizumab advanced patients. Methods: single arm, institution, phase I/II study (NCT03200847) enrolled 24 diagnosed stage IV...

Objective: The goal was to discuss the potential risk of progressive vaccinia in setting smallpox vaccination with immunosuppression and present strategies avoid vaccinia. Methods: A case report literature review are presented. Results: 21-year-old, male, military member received coincidentally diagnosed as having osteosarcoma ∼2 weeks later. His recent recognized, chemotherapy subsequently delayed until separation scab at site. patient neoadjuvant fared well, without any evidence or other...

Abstract Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are potent suppressors of antitumor immunity and commonly associated with poor outcomes in melanoma patients treated immune checkpoint inhibitors. Inducing the differentiation MDSCs using all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) alters their activity reduces MDSC frequency. This trial seeks to assess safety efficacy combining ATRA pembrolizumab metastatic patients. In 24 stage IV patients, treatment Q3W plus supplemental orally for three days...
