Description

James William Smithy and co-authors in 2026 analyze a multi-center series on checkpoint drug treatment after cell therapy failure in advanced melanoma. No standard path exists once tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte therapy stops working.

Fourteen centers pooled records of patients who got checkpoint drugs both before and after the cell therapy. Among 133 patients whose response could be judged, 11 percent responded to the later checkpoint treatment in this series, with three full responses. Survival was estimated with standard time-to-event methods. The modest response rate frames what doctors can expect when they retry this drug class after cell therapy.
