Responder-derived FMT and anti-PD-1 in PD-1 refractory melanoma and NSCLC

Responder-derived FMT and anti-PD-1 in PD-1 refractory melanoma and NSCLC Summary:  Cancer cells evolve and develop protective mechanisms to hide themselves from cancer killing T-cells. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), block these protective mechanisms by targeting PD-1/PD-L1 (or CTLA-4), unhiding cancer cells so that they can be killed by T-cells. While ICIs have become the standard […]

Phase 1 trial of CD40 agonist, Flt3L, and chemotherapy in breast cancer

Phase 1 trial of CD40 agonist, Flt3L, and chemotherapy in breast cancer Summary:  Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is associated with more aggressive disease compared to other subtypes of breast cancer, with a median survival of less than 18 months for a patient diagnosed with metastatic disease. Despite the success of immune checkpoint inhibitors in […]

Ivosidenib in IDH1-mutated Clonal Cytopenia of Undetermined Significance

Ivosidenib in IDH1-mutated Clonal Cytopenia of Undetermined Significance Summary:  Individuals with cytopenia (low blood cell counts) and clonal hematopoiesis (hee-MA-toh-poy-EE-sis), but do not meet the criteria for a hematologic malignancy have an entity called clonal cytopenias of undetermined significance (CCUS). These patients have an 82% chance of developing a hematologic malignancy in 5-years, 95% in […]
