Cornedine Jannette de Gooijer, MD, Netherlands Cancer Institute, Amsterdam, Netherlands, explores current biomarkers of response to checkpoint inhibitors such as nivolumab and ipilimumab in patients with mesothelioma. Pathological subtype has typically been a reliable biomarker, where non- epithelioid mesothelioma responds better to checkpoint inhibitors, as demonstrated in the Phase III BEAT-meso (NCT03762018) and IND227 (NCT02784171) trials. Whilst epithelioid subtypes have not responded well to immunotherapy, findings from the Phase II PEMMELA trial (NCT04287829) suggest they have a potential role in the second line setting. This interview took place at the 2024 World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC) in San Diego, CA.
