A phase II open-label randomized clinical trial of preoperative durvalumab or durvalumab plus tremelimumab in resectable head and neck squamous cell carcinoma
CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative D+/-T is feasible and may benefit patients with resectable HNSCC. Distinct changes in the tumor microenvironment and circulating immune cells were induced by each treatment regimen, warranting further investigation.PMID:38457288 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-3249 (Source: Clinical Cancer Research)

Therapeutic Targeting of TIM-4-L With Engineered T Cells for Acute Myeloid Leukemia
CONCLUSIONS: These results highlight TIM-4-L as a highly prevalent target on AML across a range of genetic classifications and novel target for T cell-based therapy in AML. Further investigations into the role of TIM-4-L in AML pathogenesis and its potential as an anti-leukemic target for clinical development are warranted.PMID:38451195 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-3044 (Source: Clinical Cancer Research)

Targeting CCL2/CCR2 signaling overcomes MEK inhibitor resistance in Acute Myeloid Leukemia
CONCLUSIONS: Our study demonstrates a compelling rationale for translating CCL2/CCR2 axis inhibitors in combination with MEK pathway-targeting therapies, as a potent strategy for combating drug resistance in AML. This approach has the potential to enhance the efficacy of treatments to improve AML patient outcomes.PMID:38451486 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-2654 (Source: Clinical Cancer Research)

Response rate and molecular correlates to encorafenib and binimetinib in BRAF-V600E mutant high-grade glioma
CONCLUSIONS: Encorafenib and binimetinib exhibit positive tumor responses in patients with recurrent BRAF-V600E mutant HGG in this small series, warranting therapeutic consideration. Although toxicity remains a concern for BRAF-targeted therapies, no new safety signal was observed in these patients.PMID:38446982 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-3241 (Source: Clinical Cancer Research)
