Enhancing clinical and immunological effects of anti-PD-1 with belapectin, a galectin-3 inhibitor
Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer, 2021 Background PD-1/PD-L1 engagement and overexpression of galectin-3 (Gal-3) are critical mechanisms of tumor-induced immune suppression that contribute to immunotherapy resistance. We hypothesized that Gal-3 blockade with belapectin (GR-MD-02) plus anti-PD-
