ESMO 2022: First phase III success for cell therapy in solid tumors

Sep. 12, 2022
By Anette Breindl
Scientifically at least, the biggest story coming out of the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2022 Congress is the success of cell therapy in solid tumors. “During this ESMO, there is a lot of novelty coming from T-cell therapies,” John Haanen told the audience at his joint keynote speech with Ton Schumacher – so much so that Haanen and Schumacher, both group leaders at the Netherlands Cancer Institute, left antibodies out of their keynote session in order to do justice to the advances in cell therapies.

Advisory panel not supportive of class II designation for melanoma detection systems

Aug. 1, 2022
By Mark McCarty
The U.S. FDA has proposed to down-classify optical diagnostic devices and electrical impedance spectrometers from class III to class II, but there was little support for such a change in the first day of a two-day advisory hearing. The panelists saw the risk of a false negative for melanoma as too high to allow such devices to go through the 510(k) program, and thus manufacturers of these devices may continue to be required to file PMAs, replete with costly studies and long timelines to approval.

FDA unilaterally proposes to down-classify 2 device types for detection of melanoma

June 29, 2022
By Mark McCarty
The U.S. FDA reported a proposed down-classification for two device types intended for detection of melanoma, a move that would ease the premarket path for similar devices. The agency noted that it has received only one PMA application each for optical diagnostic devices and electrical impedance spectrometers, which suggests the agency sees these device types as suffering for want of interest on the part of device makers.

WNT plays dual role in melanoma spread to lung

June 8, 2022
By Anette Breindl
Researchers have long known that the developmental regulator WNT5A plays a role in the dissemination of tumor cells. Now, investigators from Johns Hopkins University have discovered that its suppression plays a role in the growth of metastases after a period of dormancy as well.

Street snorts at cohort 4 in phase II melanoma bid, Iovance stance firm on BLA plan

May 27, 2022
By Randy Osborne
Phase II melanoma data characterized by Iovance Biotherapeutics Inc. as positive failed to excite Wall Street, which took away 53.6% of the company’s share value (NASDAQ:IOVA), or $8.10, and pushed the closing price to $7.02 on May 27. The San Carlos, Calif.-based firm offered results from registrational cohort 4 (n=87) of the C-144-01 study testing lifileucel (LN-144, autologous tumor infiltrating lymphocytes) in advanced melanoma.

This is just the beginning, says LAG-3 discoverer as BMS grabs first-in-class approval

March 21, 2022
By Jennifer Boggs and Richard Staines
Bristol Myers Squibb Co.’s relatlimab will hit the market as the first U.S. FDA-approved LAG-3 inhibitor, cleared by the agency for use in a fixed-dose combination with Opdivo (nivolumab) to treat adult and pediatric patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma. The approval, a day ahead of the March 19 FDA target date, adds another type of immune checkpoint inhibitor to the oncology arsenal, which already includes drugs targeting PD-1/PD-L1 and CTLA4.
