Background
The discovery and therapeutic application of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have significantly improved clinical outcomes in cancer treatment. However, the response rate is still low in gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. The gut microbiome…
Background
T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin-domain containing 3 (TIM-3) is an inhibitory receptor linked to decreased antitumor activity of immune cells. S095018 is a human anti-TIM-3 IgG2 antibody that blocks the binding of phosphatidyl serine to TIM-…
Background
Mixed response, where different lesions within the same patient show discordant responses to treatment, remains poorly understood. To better understand the complex effects of mixed response on patient survival, we devised three different de…
Background
The orally available toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) agonist prodrug RO7119929 is converted to active drug predominantly in the liver, where it is hypothesized to reprogram the local immune microenvironment. We aimed to explore the safety, phar…
Background
Immune-related hepatitis (ir-hepatitis) ranks among the most frequent adverse events of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Limited knowledge exists regarding the incidence, characteristics, and treatment of patients having an inadequate r…
Background
Anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) immunotherapy has revolutionized the treatment of stage III and IV melanoma. Real-world data on its resistance is needed to facilitate the development of combinatorial approaches to overcome anti-…
Background
In murine studies, we demonstrated that a DNA vaccine encoding the androgen receptor (pTVG-AR) given prior to androgen deprivation elicited prostate tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and an antitumor response. The current trial evaluated this …
Background
Immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy (ICI) with nivolumab+ipilimumab is a first-line (1L) standard for metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), yet outcomes remain heterogeneous. Increasing evidence suggests that host factors infl…
Background
For patients with high-risk melanoma who are unresponsive or intolerant to immune checkpoint inhibitors, cancer vaccines may provide benefit with a favorable toxicity profile. CD4+ T cells provide essential help to dendritic cells (DCs) for…
Background
Patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC) often respond to cytotoxic therapy, but early disease progression is typical. Responses to immunotherapy alone are rare. Recent advances in chemoimmunotherapy combinations of…
