Paolo Bossi: Immunotherapy plus cetuximab in advanced/metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma

“I Tackle: second line with cetuximab and pembrolizumab in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.

Highlights:

  • First study on PD-1 blockade + EGFR inhibition in recurrent/metastatic cSCC.
  • Cetuximab overcame pembrolizumab resistance, reaching a 63 % cumulative ORR.
  • Cetuximab reversed primary/acquired resistance in 43 % of cSCC cases, with safety.”

Luigi Lorini, Medical Oncologist at Humanitas Research Hospital, shared this post, adding:

“What about an EGFR inhibitor to reverse ICIs resistance in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma?
