Emerging treatment strategies for melanoma beyond checkpoint inhibitor treatments

June 2, 2024

Abstract

Melanoma has long been a difficult malignancy to treat with low response rates to standard chemotherapies. In recent years, the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors have demonstrated promising results, paving the way for the use of the rapidly developing novel immune targeting therapies. In this review, we look beyond immune checkpoint inhibitor treatments and summarize several emerging treatment strategies for melanoma, including neoantigen vaccines, conventional antibody drug-conjugates, and bispecific T-cell engager therapies.
