Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have shown great promise in a wide spectrum of adult solid and hematological malignancies, achieving objective tumor responses and prolonging survival. However, there is limited clinical success amongst pediatric patients. In this review, we summarize the current understanding of ICI and present an up-to-date overview of recent and ongoing clinical trials of ICI in pediatric malignancies. In addition, we will discuss immunologic and clinical difficulties in this young population, as well as future prospects for combination of ICI with other immune-based and conventional treatments.
免疫检查点抑制剂(ICI)在多种成人实体瘤和血液系统恶性肿瘤中显示出巨大潜力,能够实现客观的肿瘤缓解并延长生存期。然而,儿科患者的临床疗效有限。在本综述中,我们总结了目前对ICI的认识,并对ICI在儿科恶性肿瘤中的近期和正在进行的临床试验进行了最新概述。此外,我们将讨论这一年轻人群中的免疫和临床难题,以及ICI与其他基于免疫和传统治疗方法联合应用的未来前景。
