Neoadjuvant immunotherapy of hepatocellular carcinoma: A single-institution experience at Mount Sinai. (ASCO 2025) - P2 | " We identified 17 patients from NCT04123379 (nivolumab alone or in combination with BMS-813160 or BMS-986253), 41 patients from NCT03916627 (cemiplimab alone or cemiplimab plus radiation), and 8 patients who received neoadjuvant nivolumab off protocol. Neoadjuvant immunotherapy with anti-PD-1 in patients with resectable HCC appears to be feasible with a generally acceptable safety profile. Further studies are needed to identify optimal immunotherapy regimens to be used in the neoadjuvant setting as well as optimal duration, and larger cohorts are needed to validate the correlation of pathological response with recurrence and survival."

Targeting the IL-8 axis in high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes: a clinical experience with antibody blockade combined with decitabine/cedazuridine. (PubMed, Leuk Lymphoma) - P1/2 | "Clinical and laboratory findings are presented from a 64-year-old female with myelodysplastic syndrome and increased blasts-2 (MDS-IB2) from Phase I/II trial evaluating the anti-IL8 antibody, BMS-986253, in combination with oral decitabine/cedazuridine (NCT05148234). Optical genome mapping identified ETS-related gene, ERG, somatic duplication with post-treatment decreased variant allele frequency. Post-treatment molecular changes with clinical disease stability, suggest IL-8 pathway inhibition biological activity after even short duration."

A novel anti-PD-L1/IL-8 bispecific antibody BP2402 enhances antitumor immunity and modulates inflammatory signaling in triple-negative breast cancer mice model. (PubMed, J Transl Med) - "These results indicate that dual targeting of PD-L1 and IL-8 pathways represents a promising therapeutic strategy for TNBC. The bispecific antibody approach offers superior therapeutic potential by simultaneously modulating immune checkpoints, inflammatory signaling, and angiogenesis, effectively addressing resistance mechanisms. Additional preclinical optimization and clinical studies are required to fully assess the therapeutic potential of this novel immunotherapeutic approach."

The Interleukin-8-CXCR1/2 Axis as a Therapeutic Target in Peritoneal Carcinomatosis. (PubMed, Curr Oncol) - "IL-8 targeting agents such as monoclonal antibodies (BMS-986253) and small-molecule inhibitors (SX-682, AZD5069, navarixin) have shown efficacy in mitigating tumor growth and improving the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors. In this review, we discuss the influence of the IL-8/CXCR1/CXCR2 axis within the peritoneal immune environment in PC and highlight recent work using IL-8 or CXCR1/CXCR2 blockade as a therapeutic strategy for PC. Continued research into the peritoneal immune microenvironment and the development of targeted therapies are essential for improving the management and prognosis of PC, potentially enhancing antitumor immunity and patient outcomes."

BMS-986253 Plus Nivolumab/Ipilimumab Fails to Boost Responses in Advanced Melanoma After Prior Anti–PD-(L)1 Therapy (OncLive) - P1/2 | N=281 | NCT03400332 | Sponsor: Bristol-Myers Squibb | "Data presented at the 2024 ESMO Immuno-Oncology Congress showed that patients treated with BMS-986253 plus nivolumab and ipilimumab (n = 62) experienced an overall response rate (ORR) of 14.5% vs 11.7% for those given nivolumab plus ipilimumab alone (odds ratio, 1.3; 95% CI, 0.4-3.6; P = .6806). In the BMS-986253 arm, the complete response (CR), partial response, stable disease (SD), and progressive disease (PD) rates were 8.1%, 6.5%, 19.4%, and 50.0%, respectively. These respective rates were 1.7%, 10.0%, 31.7%, and 36.7% in the control arm. No patients in either arm had SD for more than 6 months. In the BMS-986253 group, 4.8% of patients had a best response of non-CR/non-PD, and response was unable to be determined in 11.3% of patients."
