In 2011 ipilimumab became the first immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) to be approved for the treatment of advanced melanoma after demonstrating improved overall survival compared to chemotherapy. We explore the timeline of ICIs since then highlighting keynote trials.

Adoptive cell therapy is a cellular immunotherapy produced with ex vivo expansion of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes. The anti-tumor immunity of these lymphocytes is then further stimulated with IL-2 after administration. We highlight recent ACT trials in melanoma

Despite the efficacy of ICIs, not all patients respond. There is an ongoing need for therapies for patients refractory IO. We highlight several of these.

There has been considerable interest in neoadjuvant immunotherapy as a way to activate in situ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes for greater anti-tumor immune response. We cover the results of SWOG 1801 from @DrSapnaPatel , et al. showing the potential of a neoadjuvant approach.
