Therapeutic options for treating advanced melanoma are progressing rapidly. Until six years ago, the regimen for treating advanced melanoma mainly comprised cytotoxic agents such as dacarbazine, and type I interferons. Since 2014, anti-programmed cell death 1 (PD1) antibodies have become recognized as anchor drugs for treating advanced melanoma with or without additional combination drugs such as ipilimumab. In addition, v-Raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1 (BRAF) kinase inhibitors in combination with mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) inhibitors are among the most promising chemotherapeutic regimens for treating advanced BRAF-mutant melanoma, especially in patients with low tumor burden. Since anti-PD1 antibodies are widely applicable for the treatment of both wild-type and mutated advanced melanomas, several clinical trials for drugs in combination with anti-PD1 antibodies are ongoing. This review focuses on the development of the anti-melanoma therapies available today, and discusses the clinical trials of novel regimens for the treatment of advanced melanoma.
治疗晚期黑色素瘤的治疗选择正在迅速发展。直到六年前,治疗晚期黑色素瘤的方案主要包括细胞毒性药物如达卡巴嗪和I型干扰素。自2014年以来,抗程序性细胞死亡1(PD1)抗体已被公认为治疗晚期黑色素瘤的基础药物,无论是否联合使用如伊匹单抗等其他联合药物。此外,v-Raf鼠肉瘤病毒癌基因同源物B1(BRAF)激酶抑制剂与丝裂原活化蛋白激酶激酶(MEK)抑制剂联合使用是治疗晚期BRAF突变黑色素瘤最有前景的化疗方案之一,尤其是对于肿瘤负荷低的患者。由于抗PD1抗体广泛适用于野生型和突变型晚期黑色素瘤的治疗,目前正在进行多项与抗PD1抗体联合用药的临床试验。本综述重点关注当今可用的抗黑色素瘤疗法的发展,并讨论治疗晚期黑色素瘤新方案的临床试验。
