Targeted Immunotherapy
Tumors use complex, overlapping mechanisms to evade and suppress the immune system APC 1 Inhibition of tumor antigen presentation e.g. down regulation of MHC I 4 Recruitment of immunosuppressive cell types e.g. T-reg Tumor cell 2 Secretion of immunosuppressive factors e.g. TGF-ß Regulator y T cell APC = antigen-presenting cell; MHC = major histocompatibility complex; TGF-ß = tumor growth factor-ß. Drake CG, et al. Adv Immunol. 2006;90:51 81; Vesely MD, et al. Annu Rev Immunol. 2011;29:235 271. 3 Inhibition of attack by immune cells e.g. disruption of T-cell checkpoint pathways Inactive T cell
Regulating the T-cell immune response Activating receptors CD28 OX40 Inhibitory receptors CTLA-4 PD-1 TIM-3 T-cell responses are regulated through a complex balance of inhibitory ( checkpoint ) and activating signals Tumors can dysregulate checkpoint and activating pathways, and consequently the immune response CD137 Agonistic antibodies T-cell stimulation LAG-3 Antagonistic (blocking) antibodies Targeting checkpoint and activating pathways is an evolving approach to cancer therapy, designed to promote an immune response The image shows only a selection of the receptors/pathways involved. CD = cluster of differentiation; CTLA-4 = cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4; LAG-3 = lymphocyte-activation gene-3; PD-1 = programmed cell death-1; TIM-3 = T-cell immunoglobulin domain and mucin domain-3.

Conclusions CheckMate 025 met its primary endpoint, demonstrating superior OS with nivolumab versus everolimus This is the only phase III trial to demonstrate a survival advantage in previously-treated patients with mrcc versus standard therapy Survival benefit with nivolumab was consistent across subgroups and irrespective of PD-L1 expression Nivolumab was associated with a greater number of objective responses The superior survival and favorable safety profile in this phase III trial provide evidence for nivolumab as a potential new treatment option for previously treated patients with mrcc 41
