Merrick I. Ross, MD, professor, Department of Surgical Oncology, Division of Surgery, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, discusses treatment for liver metastasis in patients with melanoma.
Liver metastasis is a very difficult problem for a variety of reasons, explains Ross. It’s possible that the active immunotherapy agents may not be as effective in the liver.
Of the patients who have metastatic disease, 95% of them will have some component of liver metastasis, states Ross.

The IL-12–expressing self-replicating mRNA STX-001 showed a favorable therapeutic window at 100 µg, with regression in both injected and non-injected lesions.

Most of the survival time accrued with RP1 plus nivolumab in the IGNYTE trial was spent in good health among patients with advanced melanoma after anti–PD-1 therapy.

VET3-TGI produced responses in injected and non-injected lesions without dose-limiting toxicities in the phase 1/1b STEALTH-001 trial.

EVX-01 plus pembrolizumab generated sustained neoantigen-specific T-cell responses in advanced melanoma.

Rocbrutinib plus chemoimmunotherapy led to complete responses in patients with untreated B-cell lymphomas.

Retrospective data tie longer survival with niraparib maintenance to homologous recombination deficiency after complete primary debulking.
