Drew Moghanaki: Immune checkpoint inhibitors need to be replaced by safer alternatives in the future

Drew Moghanaki, Professor and Chief of Thoracic Oncology at the Department of Radiation Oncology, shared a post on X, about a paper by Julie Brahmer et al. published in Science Direct.

“This sobering report is a reminder that while immune checkpoint inhibitors help a substantial subset of patients with advanced cancer, they ultimately need to be replaced by safer alternatives in the future. Our work is far from done.”

“Safety profile of pembrolizumab monotherapy based on an aggregate safety evaluation of 8937 patients”
