- W4386310918 abstract "Immunotherapy with PD-1 inhibitors monotherapy or combined with chemotherapy comprises the first-line palliative treatment for patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell cancers (R/M HNSCC). The established survival advantage among responders is overshadowed by the high percentage of patients failing the standard PD-1 inhibitor-based treatments. Salvage therapies are direly needed. However, no current standards are available. We present the case of a 65-year-old patient with heavily pretreated laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma who had an exceptional response to cetuximab monotherapy following the failure of immunotherapy with the PD-1 inhibitor nivolumab. We reviewed the literature for other cases of exceptional response to cetuximab, clinical studies investigating the combined or sequential administration of cetuximab and PD-1 inhibitors, and the mechanistic rationale for consideration of cetuximab as a potential salvage treatment after immunotherapy with PD-1 inhibitors. In addition to the specific epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitory effect, cetuximab, as an immunoglobulin G1 isotype, binds NK cells and elicits antibody-dependent cellular toxicity, triggering a domino of immunostimulatory, and immunoinhibitory effects that actually might decrease the cetuximab anticancer efficacy. However, in a tumor microenvironment exposed to previous treatment with a PD-1 inhibitor, the effects of the PD-1 inhibitor followed by cetuximab on innate and adaptative immune response appear to synergize. Specifically, persistent immune checkpoint inhibitors’ consequences may negate downstream immunosuppressive effects of cetuximab caused through PD-1/PD-L1 upregulation, making it a more potent treatment option. Besides the potential synergistic effect on antitumor immune response with previous immune checkpoint inhibitors therapy, cetuximab is the only targeted agent approved for treating R/M HNSCC, making it a most advantageous candidate for further treatment validation studies as salvage treatment post-immunotherapy." @default.
