Guidelines for the use of immunotherapy to treat patients with bladder carcinoma were recently published as part of the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer’s (SITC) Cancer Immunotherapy Guidelines series. It joins guidelines for prostate carcinoma, hematologic malignances, and renal cell carcinoma as a crucial resource developed through multidisciplinary collaboration between academic researchers and physicians, nurses, patients, and patients advocates from throughout the U.S.
The SITC Combination Immunotherapy Task Force white paper published earlier this year, entitled “Combination immunotherapy: a road map” (Ott et al.), aims to identify the most promising prospects for combination therapy and address challenges associated with combinatorial approaches. Building on previous work on combination immunotherapy, this article is the first to address the use of mouse models, safety considerations in early clinical testing, the need for innovative early phase clinical trial designs, and appropriate safety and efficacy endpoints for early phase clinical trials, all in the specific setting of combination immunotherapy.

Immune monitoring technology primers
Reviewed by the members of the SITC Immune Biomarkers Task Force, these brief primers highlight important aspects of both standardized and novel technologies available in clinical trial settings.
SITC Cancer immunotherapy guidelines
Developed by experts in the treatment of specific types of cancer, each consensus statement provides key indicators to help practicing oncologists determine when and how to best use immunotherapy to treat their patients.
