2 Evaluation of Clinical Responses: Differences in the mechanism of action of tumour vaccines vs direct anti-tumoural drugs (chemotherapy, oncogene-inhibitors ) Chemotherapy/ Target therapy Tumor cell destruction Immunotherapy Immune system activation Tumor cell destruction

3 Chemotherapy/Targeted Agents and Immuno-therapy Differ in Action and Outcome Response Chemotherapy and Targeted Therapies IMMUNOTHERAPY Time (months)

5 Clinical considerations: ipilimumab or vemurafenib? Ipilimumab Vemurafenib Biological selector No Yes (BRAF mutation) Response Variable, lower rate, durable Rapid, high rate, limited duration Complete responses Rare Rare Survival benefit Yes Yes Long-term survival benefit Yes? Toxicities Experience Manageability Substantial Generally manageable, can be severe Accumulating Generally manageable, skin neoplasms

6 Treatment decision making for metastatic melanoma? Molecular subtyping c-kit mutation Wild type BRAF mutation Tumour load low LDH normal Tumour load high LDH high Clinical trial of c-kit inhibitor Ipilimumab Vemurafenib Clinical trial or chemotherapy Ipilimumab

7 Slow progressive decline in tumor volume Baseline 10 mg/mq Ipi Q3 wks x 4 Induction W12 W24 10 mg/mq Ipi Q12 wks Maintenance W108

8 IPILIMUMAB PATTERN OF RESPONSE Baseline W12 PD ipilimumab 10 mg/kg q3w x 4 Induction W24 SD ipilimumab W 108 SD 10 mg/kg q12w Maintenance

9 Histopathology of cutaneous biopsy at week 56 Haematoxylin and eosin staining depicting strong regressive changes both in flat and nodular areas of the tumor biopsy; neoplastic melanocytes were virtually absent throughout the whole lesion.

10 Histopathology of liver biopsy at week 102 Histological examination of a liver melanoma mts showed massive necrosis of melanocytes. On left, well-preserved fibroblats with rare lymphocytes inside a fibrotic septum, and melanophages are recognizable (original magnification 200x)
