Reporting from the AACR Annual Meeting 2021, Sophie Piperno-Neumann discusses important results from two studies covering advanced melanoma testing in innovative immunotherapy strategies. First she describes practice changing results in metastatic uveal melanoma, comparing the bi-specific protein tebentafusp with the investigator's choice treatment. Then she comments on the promising results obtained at 28 months follow-up of the study in advanced melanoma patients treated with autologous TIL therapy lifileucel.
Abstracts:
- CT002 - Phase 3 randomized trial comparing tebentafusp with investigator’s choice in first line metastatic uveal melanoma
- CT008 - Lifileucel (LN-144), a cryopreserved autologous tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy in patients with advanced (unresectable or metastatic) melanoma: durable duration of response at 28 month follow up.
