Sarcomatoid Transformation of Pulmonary Mucinous Adenocarcinoma as a Mechanism of Immunotherapy Resistance. (PubMed, Thorac Cancer)
As surgical resection was not feasible, first-line treatment with ipilimumab plus nivolumab combined with chemotherapy was initiated, resulting in a partial response...Thirteen months later, the patient developed radiographic worsening of ILD, for which oral prednisolone was initiated...The patient received two cycles of nab-paclitaxel plus carboplatin without response and subsequently died. These findings emphasize that clinicians should recognize that IMA may undergo sarcomatous transformation.

A real-world retrospective study of vitiligo associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors based on FAERS and TCGA databases. (PubMed, Medicine (Baltimore))
The ipilimumab-pembrolizumab combination demonstrated the highest reporting odds ratio (97.2, 95% CI: 58.1-162.4). Integration of pharmacovigilance and transcriptomic data implicates coordinated effects of melanocyte-lineage antigens, innate immune and mitochondrial function pathways in vitiligo pathogenesis. This study aimed to systematically characterize the risk profile, onset timing, and potential biological mechanisms of ICI-induced vitiligo across different treatment strategies and cancer types.

Real-world outcomes of ipilimumab plus nivolumab in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: a multi-institutional large cohort study. (PubMed, Cancer Immunol Immunother)
In this large real-world cohort, first-line NIVO + IPI therapy demonstrated meaningful clinical activity and an acceptable safety profile in advanced ESCC. Treatment outcomes varied according to metastatic patterns, suggesting an influence of organ-specific immune microenvironments, and CAR emerged as a simple and robust prognostic biomarker. These findings support the real-world applicability of dual immune checkpoint blockade and highlight the importance of host immune context in patient selection.

Dual CTLA-4/PD-1 Blockade Versus Anti-PD-1 in MSI-H Metastatic Colorectal Cancer: Early Survival Benefit and Exploratory Clinical Predictors. (PubMed, Clin Colorectal Cancer)
Dual CTLA-4/PD-1 blockade improved PFS and OS versus anti-PD-1 alone, driven by higher early response rates. Female sex, absence of liver metastases, and left-sided tumor location may predict greater benefit from combination.

Autoantibodies Drive Fcγ Receptor-Dependent Colon Inflammation During Immune Checkpoint Blockade. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
IgG from melanoma patients treated with pembrolizumab, nivolumab, or ipilimumab, with or without severe colitis, was transferred into wild-type or humanized FcγR (hFcγR) mice receiving comparable ICI therapy. Single-cell RNA sequencing identified an IgG-regulated inflammatory network involving IFNg-producing ILC1, Th1 and cytotoxic T cells, IL-1betta-M1 macrophages, plasma B cells/plasmablasts, and IL-22-producing ILC3-LTi cells. Patient serum autoantibody profiling further identified CCR5 and CXCR4 receptors as candidate immune-related targets associated with ICC susceptibility.
