Antitumor activity of NKTR-214 alone or in combination with anti-PD-1 therapy in tumors resistant to anti-PD-1 (UCLA Case No. 2019-254)

UCLA researchers have discovered a therapy for anti-PD-1 resistant tumors in colon carcinoma patients. A small molecule therapeutic alone or in combination with immune-checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy exhibits tumor remission even in sublines with mutated signalling pathways that have rendered them ICB resistant. BACKGROUND: Immunotherapy, the...
