Abstract

This review provides a comprehensive update on recent advancements in melanoma treatment by highlighting promising therapeutics with an aim to increase awareness of novel interventions currently in development. Over the last decade there has been considerable expansion of the previously available treatment options for patients with melanoma. In particular, novel immunotherapeutics have been developed to expand on the clinical advancements brought by BRAF targeting and immune checkpoint inhibitors. Despite the success of checkpoint inhibitors there remains an unmet need for patients that do not respond to treatment. This review delves into the latest advancements in novel checkpoint inhibitors, cytokines, oncolytic viruses, vaccines, bispecific antibodies, and adoptive cell therapy. Preclinical experiments and early-stage clinical trials studies have demonstrated promising results for these therapies, many of which have moved into pivotal, phase 3 studies.
