Two recent prospective studies of anti-PD-1 agents, along with observational studies and a meta-analysis, have demonstrated acceptable safety in PLWH. Preliminary evidence indicates activity in a range of tumors and across CD4+ T cell counts. Safety and preliminary activity data suggest monoclonal antibodies targeting PD-1 or its ligand, PD-L1, are generally appropriate for PLWH and cancers for which there are FDA-approved indications. Ongoing and future trials of anti-PD-1 and anti-PD-L1 therapy alone or in combination for HIV-associated cancers may further improve outcomes for this underserved population.
