Background
Hypoxia is associated with the evasion of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) from immune surveillance. Hypoxia increases the subpopulation of putative TNBC stem-like cells (TNBCSCs) through activating Wnt/β-Catenin signaling. The she…
Background
Higher levels of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in breast cancers are associated with increased likelihood of pathologic complete response (pCR) to chemotherapy. DNA methyltransferase inhibitors (DNMTi) can augment immune responses t…
Background
Preclinical evidence suggests that cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) inhibitors enhance antitumor immunity. We conducted a phase I trial of ribociclib (CDK4/6 inhibitor) plus spartalizumab (PD-1 inhibitor) in patients with hormone r…
Background and aims
Corticosteroid is effective in alleviating immune-related adverse events (irAEs) of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). However, prophylactic use of corticosteroid to prevent irAEs is not recommended due to a looming concern that it …
Background
Patients with microsatellite stable (MSS) colorectal cancer (CRC) often display resistance to immunotherapy. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-targeted therapies have shown potential in enhancing immunotherapy, yet clinical benefits r…
Background
Nivolumab plus ipilimumab (nivo/ipi) is a standard of care first-line (1 L) therapy for patients with metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), but its role in patients with metastatic, non-ccRCC has not been fully defined. We rep…
Background
Ionizing radiation (IR) is a double-edged sword for immunotherapy as it may have both immunosuppressive and immunostimulatory effects. The biological effects of IR on the tumor microenvironment (TME) are a key factor for this balance. Fibro…
Background
M6223 is an intravenous (IV), Fc-competent, fully human, antagonistic, anti-T cell immunoreceptor with immunoglobulin and immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif domains (TIGIT) antibody. Bintrafusp alfa (BA) is a bifunctional fusion…
Background
CD4+ T-cell lymphocytopenia and immune dysfunction are factors that drive the onset and persistence of Kaposi sarcoma (KS) in people with (PWH) and without HIV. Standard chemotherapy agents for KS can contribute to increasing CD4+ T cell ly…
Background
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized cancer treatment but come with high costs. Alternative ICI dosing strategies could reduce costs without losing efficacy. However, clinical efficacy data are lacking.
Methods
In this r…
