Title: | Intratumoral vidutolimod in combination with PD-1 blockade in locoregionally advanced melanoma |
Abstract: | Combinatorial immunotherapy may improve the efficacy of neoadjuvant checkpoint inhibitors in locoregionally advanced melanoma. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Davar and colleagues report a promising phase 2 neoadjuvant trial of the TLR9 agonist vidutolimod in combination with nivolumab. Analyses suggest a unique myeloid expression signature is associated with response. © 2024 Elsevier Inc. |
