De-novo and acquired resistance to immune checkpoint targeting

Syn, Nicholas L, Teng, Michele W L, Mok, Tony S K, Soo, Ross A·2017·The Lancet Oncology

Abstract

Use of immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting the programmed cell death protein-1/programmed cell death-ligand 1 and cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated protein-4 axes has yielded impressive results in some clinical trials. However, only a subset of patients initially respond to these inhibitors, and increasing clinical evidence indicates that a substantial proportion of initial responders ultimately relapse with lethal, drug-resistant disease months or years later. Studies that have used massively parallel sequencing have shed light on the rich functional landscape of mutations that endow tumour cells with the ability to evade T-cell-mediated immunosurveillance. Cancer genomes bear signatures of clonal evolution and selection, particularly implicating acquired defects in interferon receptor signalling and antigen presentation. In this Review, we discuss the biological processes that operate in the formation of so-called immunoresistant niches, and describe the latest progress in the development of combination strategies to reinstate immunosurveillance in immune-refractory tumours.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
