What to do when the first TNF inhibitor fails in rheumatoid arthritis: stratified expert recommendations from a scoping review and Delphi consensus. (PubMed, Ther Adv Musculoskelet Dis)
Agreed positions included caution with JAK inhibitors (JAKi) in older patients and in those with CV/VTE risk; preference for IL-6 receptor inhibitors or JAKi for monotherapy or prominent systemic inflammation; in RA-ILD, use a b/tsDMARD with a non-TNFi mechanism; rituximab as first choice in rheumatoid vasculitis; abatacept in infection-prone patients; discouraging JAKi in prior malignancy; and TNFi as acceptable during pregnancy. Two statements did not reach consensus: preferential use of non-TNFi in obesity and heightened caution with tofacitinib in osteoporosis or fracture risk. This Delphi-validated, profile-based framework provides a practical tool to support evidence-informed clinical decision-making.

Case Report: A case of superficial spreading malignant melanoma with sentinel lymph node metastasis misdiagnosed as "pigmented nevus". (PubMed, Front Immunol)
Postoperative adjuvant therapy included systemic chemotherapy and targeted therapy. No recurrence was observed during the 2-year follow-up period.

Nivolumab for unresectable cutaneous epithelial malignancies: an open-label, single-arm, multi-centre, phase II trial (NMSC-PD1). (PubMed, BMC Cancer)
Nivolumab showed durable antitumour activity with manageable toxicity in Japanese patients with advanced NMSCs, including rare non-cSCC. The lower ORR compared with Western trials may reflect intrinsic biological differences and support biomarker-driven, region-specific immunotherapy.

Response of B cells specific for polyomavirus-derived oncoprotein is predictive of Merkel cell carcinoma tumor control. (PubMed, Cancer Immunol Res)
In vitro, B cells engineered to be specific for viral oncoproteins increased the sensitivity of oncoprotein-specific CD4+ T cells by over 50-fold. Together, our findings suggest that cancer-specific B cells promote antitumor immunity via increased responses by T cells and that cancer-specific augmentation of B cells could be therapeutically relevant.

Targeting non-canonical NF-κB signalling in CYLD cutaneous syndrome by selective inhibition of IκB kinase alpha. (PubMed, Br J Dermatol)
A novel, highly selective, IKKα inhibitor (SU1644) used in patient derived CCS tumour spheroid cultures demonstrated that IKKα inhibition reduced tumour spheroid viability. These data provide the pre-clinical rationale for the assessment of topical IKKα inhibitors as a novel preventative treatment for CCS.

Isoxazole derivatives as multi-target agents: virucidal, antibacterial, and antiproliferative effects on skin cancer cells. (PubMed, Pharmacol Rep)
In conclusion, this work validates specific isoxazole derivatives as highly promising candidates for development: MO3 for resistant bacterial infections, MO7 for otherwise untreatable adenovirus infections, and MO10 as a dual-action agent against HSV-1 and an adjunct to melanoma chemotherapy.

Characterization of skin adverse events associated with cetuximab: real-world insights from the two global pharmacovigilance databases of FAERS and VigiAccess. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
Common events such as rash and dermatitis acneiform, as well as several less frequently described reactions, warrant heightened clinical vigilance, especially in older and male patients. Prospective and mechanistic studies are needed to confirm these associations and to refine strategies for preventing and managing cetuximab-induced skin toxicity.
