Atezolizumab plus bevacizumab has shown promising efficacy in advanced mucosal melanoma the multi-centre phase II study. This report updates 3-year survival outcomes and multi-omics analysis to identify potential response biomarkers.
Background OH2 is an oncolytic virus derived from herpes simplex type 2. A phase Ia/Ib clinical trial in China was conducted patients with unresected stage III–IV melanoma, the majority of whom had acral type, to assess safety and preliminary efficacy OH2. Methods The enrolled histologically confirmed unresectable III or advanced IV melanoma. In Ia, nine received single-dose treatment across three dose levels (10 6 , 10 7 8 CCID 50 /mL, where represents cell culture infectious 50%) while six...
Mucosal melanoma (MM) is an uncommon and aggressive malignant tumor, characterized by a scarcity of effective treatment options novel biomarkers. To develop biomarkers, total 89 MM tumor samples (including 50 cases in the discovery cohort 39 validation cohort) were collected from three medical centers. Targeted bisulfite sequencing RNA conducted cohort, Cox regression analysis was employed to evaluate DNA methylation (methyDNA) expression data. Our results revealed that, compared control...
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have provided new hope for melanoma patients, however, not all patients benefit. Furthermore, ICI-related therapies cause significant immune-related adverse events that adversely affect patient outcomes. Therefore, there is a pressing need reliable biomarkers to identify most likely benefit from these treatments. In this study, we employed an extracellular vesicles (EVs) protein expression array explore the longitudinal membrane profiles of plasma-derived...
9508 Background: Chemotherapy (temozolomide plus cisplatin) has been demonstrated to be a better adjuvant regimen compared high-dose interferon alpha-2b in resected Mucosal Melanoma (MuM) the pre-immunotherapy era. Yet present immunotherapy era, PD-1 inhibitor was recommended as standard therapy for Melanoma. No trial comparing chemotherapy with MuM had reported. we conducted this study determine efficacies of versus MuM. Methods: All patients (pts) received 200 mg/m 2 /day orally on days 1...
The proliferation marker Ki67 is associated with the progression and prognosis of melanoma. However, its prognostic impact on acral melanoma (AM) remains unclear.A total 314 AM patients were enrolled from a cohort 5758 at Peking University Cancer Hospital between 2006 2018. divided into high- low-expressing groups using cut-off value 30%. associations clinicopathologic characteristics as well survival analyzed. Cox proportional regression analysis was used to establish nomogram predict...
Abstract Mucosal melanoma exhibits limited responsiveness to anti-PD-1 therapy. However, a subgroup of mucosal melanomas, particularly those situated at specific anatomic sites like primary malignant the esophagus (PMME), display remarkable sensitivity treatment. The underlying mechanisms driving this superior response and DNA methylation patterns in have not been thoroughly investigated. We collected tumor samples from 50 patients with melanoma, including 31 PMME 19 non-esophageal (NEMM)....
Adjuvant chemotherapy has been shown to produce a favorable prognosis for patients with resectable mucosal melanoma (MM), resulting in the need stratification optimally select benefit from adjuvant therapy. This study analyzed Ki67 as potential index MM. Patients resected MM who received subsequent therapy Beijing Cancer Hospital between 2010 and 2018 were retrospectively enrolled analyzed. Relapse-free survival (RFS) melanoma-specific (MSS) curves used perform comparisons across different...
