A Phase I/II of Nivolumab in Combination with Chemotherapy in pediatric patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia

A Phase I/II of Nivolumab in Combination with Chemotherapy in pediatric patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia Summary: Despite advances in treatment of AML, the long-term survival rate of children with relapsed AML has not changed significantly and remains poor. Intensification of conventional chemotherapy leads to increases in drug toxicity without improvement in outcomes. Therefore, […]

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) treatment for immune checkpoint inhibitor–mediated colitis

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) treatment for immune checkpoint inhibitor–mediated colitis Summary: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have become paradigm-shifting therapies for a variety of cancers. However, these agents are associated with various toxicities that affect the skin, GI tract, liver, lungs, endocrine system, and nervous system. Immune-mediated colitis (IMC) is among the most encountered severe toxicities […]
