Opdivo/Yervoy combo - Study
An encouraging Opdivo/
Yervoy
study was presented at ASCO recently, which gave me a little more hope for the future. https://www.onclive.com/view/nivolumab-ipilimumab-bests-nivolumab-in-ovarian-and-extra-renal-clear-cell-carcinomas

clear cell update
I just finished my second round of immunotherapy, which is Opdiva and
Yervoy
. After one month my CA, 125 dropped from 133 to 53. I’m truly astounded and hope it keeps working on my clear cell tumor. If you’re OVCA is clear cell, you should inquire to your oncologist about this.

immunotherapy for OVCA
just wanted to provide an update on using immunotherapy, in my case Opdivo and
Yervoy
. Some background: 6 years after my initial diagnosis of OVCA, it was discovered via a raised CA125 and subsequent CT Scan, that I had developed 3 tumors on my Psoas muscle of my back.

immunotherapy
anyone that been on Opdiva/
Yervoy
combo? May I know side-effects and whether it worked? It’s to control a tumor on my back psoas muscle, which was the spreading of OVCA clear cell 6 years after initial diagnosis. TIA.

#AskChatGPT : list of immunotherapy drugs for prostate cancer
Ipilimumab (
Yervoy
): Ipilimumab is a checkpoint inhibitor that targets CTLA-4 (cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4). It has been investigated in combination with other immunotherapies or with conventional treatments for prostate cancer in clinical trials.

what’s typically after taxotere?
It looks like our insurance already authed Keytruda, but from what I can loosely understand online,
Yervoy
may be better? Still waiting on his genomic biopsy results to come back.

Time to challenge SOC?
Or
Yervoy
for that one? Does that make sense as a proposal? 3) TRIPLET is best as an "early" treatment approach, right? Am I too late for it?

It is likely mRNA technology is going to be what cures cancer in the next 5 to 10 years
Allison M D Anderson and Houston Methodist world leaders in immuno therapy research … check point inhibitors – Ipilimumab (
Yervoy
) Keytruda etc. before anyone in medicine thought the immune system could kill cancer.

Understanding the Abscopal Effect and its Potential Role in Developing a Cure for Cancer-Part 1
This treatment can be a combination of a check point inhibitor like Keytruda,
Yervoy
, etc. with or w/o radiation or cryotherapy as well as possibly an infusion of an immune stimulator like GM-CSF or radiation therapy alone.

Dr Sartor raises questions about triplet therapy as a SOC for MHSPC. What was the take home message of PEACE I ??
I do wonder if this is in regards to CHECKMATE 650 and the decreased responsiveness to
Yervoy
and Opdivo by patients that had been treated with docetaxel. At this point, maybe there is no take home message from PEACE I..... Don Pescado

ASCO presentations on melanoma research this week
ASC0 released adjuvant clinical trial from 2015-17 cohort comparing Keytruda vs
Yervoy
vs high dose interferon for Stage 3A-4 melanoma patients. Adjuvant Anti-PD-1 Misses on Overall Survival (OS) in High-Risk Melanoma, but pembrolizumab topped active controls for relapse-free survival.

Continuing discussion of Adaptive Theory-- Why does early chemotherapy result in lower response rates to Lu-177 and immunotherapy??
In the CHECKMATE 650 trial (Immunotherapy), people that were chemo naive had a 25% response rate to Opdivo and
Yervoy
versus only a 10% response rate by those having previous chemo.

Mixed Results for Immunotherapy in Metastatic Prostate Cancer
"Ten of 35 (28.6%) patients responded to the combination of nivolumab (Opdivo) and ipilimumab (
Yervoy
). The activity fell short of the 40% threshold for a positive outcome but well above the historical response rate for immunotherapy in patients previously treated with docetaxel."

Is anyone on the UCLA trial for Opdivo with Yervoy for PC?
I have been approved to start trial and was wondering who else out there has or is going through it and can share their experience.

Experience with Yervoy/Opdivo for HCC? MD's watching scans when new area appears rather than changing treatment? MD's using a prior med?
Questions: 1- anyone else experience with MD's taking watch/wait approach as this is the largest area to appear since dx 2018 so making us nervous. 2-Anyone with experience with Opdivo/
Yervoy
?
