Targeting molecular pathways to control immune checkpoint inhibitor toxicities

Immune checkpoint blockade has revolutionized cancer treatment, offering the potential for durable responses. However, a significant challenge remains: many patients experience immune-related adverse events, which can necessitate treatment pauses or even discontinuation.

A study was published on Trends in Immunology about the growing use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in the treatment of various solid tumors and their associated rise in immune-related adverse events (irAEs).

Targeting molecular pathways to control immune checkpoint inhibitor toxicities

Robin Reschke, Max-Eder Junior Research Group Leader at National Center for Tumor Diseases (NCT) Heidelberg, the first author of this article, shared about the study on LinkedIn, adding:

“Hot off the press!  What an amazing early birthday gift.

Thrilled to share an incredible collaboration with some of the world’s leading institutions: Harvard University, Johns Hopkins University,  University of Chicago and Heidelberg University

Immune checkpoint blockade has revolutionized cancer treatment, offering the potential for durable responses. However, a significant challenge remains: many patients experience immune-related adverse events, which can necessitate treatment pauses or even discontinuation.

If you’re curious about the diverse mechanisms behind immunotherapy-induced toxicities and how personalized medicine can help treat them, this is a must-read!”
