Toward Systems Biomarkers of Response to Immune Checkpoint Blockers [PDF]
Immunotherapy with checkpoint blockers (ICBs), aimed at unleashing the immune response toward tumor cells, has shown a great improvement in overall patient survival compared to standard therapy, but only in a subset of patients.

Immune checkpoint blockers and ovarian cancer [PDF]
Although the idea, called “cancer immunotherapy,” is very appealing and has previously been shown to work in several mouse models of cancer, it has in general been very difficult to translate cancer immunotherapy approaches to humans.

Perspectives of traditional Chinese medicine to patch up immune checkpoint blockers [PDF]
In this era of cancer immunotherapy, the response rates of immune checkpoint blockers (ICBs) are still too low and the adverse events may also be significant.

Targeting the NLRP3 inflammasome abrogates cardiotoxicity of immune checkpoint blockers [PDF]
Background Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized the treatment of many malignant tumors. However, ICI-induced hyper-immune activation causes cardiotoxicity.

Oxazaphosphorines combined with immune checkpoint blockers: dose-dependent tuning between immune and cytotoxic effects [PDF]
Background Oxazaphosphorines (cyclophosphamide (CPA), ifosfamide (IFO)) are major alkylating agents of polychemotherapy protocols but limiting their toxicity and increasing their efficacy could be of major interest.

The intestinal microbiota determines the clinical efficacy of immune checkpoint blockers targeting PD-1/PD-L1 [PDF]
Cancer immunotherapists have been searching for biomarkers predicting patient responses to PD-1/PD-L1 blockade in neoplastic cells as well as in the immune system. Now, accumulating evidence indicates that the composition of the intestinal microflora has

Radiation unlocks the therapeutic potential of immune checkpoint blockers in lung cancer patients [PDF]
CTLA4 blockers have limited activity in patients with chemorefractory lung cancer. Recent clinical data demonstrate that radiation therapy combined with CTLA4 blockers enables disease control in a sizeable fraction of these patients, correlating with ...
