Phase Ib/II study of nivolumab combined with palliative radiation therapy for bone metastasis in patients with HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer - Scientific Reports

Source : https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-27048-3

Radiation therapy (RT) can enhance the abscopal effect of immune checkpoint blockade. This phase I/II study investigated the efficacy and safety of nivolumab plus RT in HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer...


Conclusions: The combination of palliative RT for bone metastasis with nivolumab was safe and showed modest anti-tumor activity in cohort A, but not in cohort B. Further investigations regarding the optimal dose and schedule of the combination of RT and ICB, the optimal RT treatment site, the addition of other molecular targeted therapies such...

Incidence of and risk factors for non-hematologic toxicity with combined radiotherapy and CDK4/6 inhibitors in metastatic breast cancer using dose-volume parameters analysis: a multicenter cohort study - Breast Cancer

Source : https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12282-022-01422-5

Background There is a lack of data on combined radiotherapy (RT) and cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i) risk factors and toxicity. This study aimed to assess the incidence...


Conclusions: Moderate toxicities are frequent with combined RT and CDK4/6i. Caution is necessary concerning the combined RT and CDK4/6i. Particularly, reducing the dose to normal organs is necessary for combined RT and CDK4/6i.
