Gustavo Viani: Triple Checkpoint Blockade as Neoadjuvant Therapy in Glioblastoma

Gustavo Viani, Professor of Radiation Oncology at Ribeirão Preto Medical School, shared a post on X about a paper by Georgina Long et al. published in Nature Medicine:

“Breaking: Triple Checkpoint Blockade as Neoadjuvant Therapy in Glioblastoma – A New Frontier?

A new Nature Medicine study explores whether triple checkpoint blockade before surgery can increase immune response in GBM!

Objective:

  • Assess if neoadjuvant anti-PD-1, anti-CTLA-4 and anti-LAG-3 improves immune activation and survival.

Methods:

  • PH I/II trial in newly diagnosed GBM
  • Treatment: Pre-op ICIs (anti-PD-1 + anti-CTLA-4 + anti-LAG-3) → Surgery → radiotherapy and TMZ
  • Endpoints: Immune response, safety, OS, PFS

Key Results:

  • increase T-cell infiltration in the tumor
  • lower Immunosuppressive markers
  • Safe and promising OS/PFS trends

Could neoadjuvant immunotherapy reshape GBM treatment? Thoughts?”
