Robin Reschke: Extracorporeal photopheresis for managing immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced toxicities

Robin Reschke, Physician scientist at the University Hospital Heidelberg, shared a post on LinkedIn about a paper hw co-authored with colleagues published in Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy:

“New research highlight!

We covered an exciting Cancer cell study by Robert Zeiser, Lukas Braun and et al. on extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) as a novel way to manage immune-related adverse events (irAEs) caused by immune checkpoint inhibitors – without compromising anti-tumor effects!

ECP modulates the immune system by:

  • Reducing harmful T cell and neutrophil activity
  • Promoting anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages via adiponectin
  • Preserving tumor-fighting T cells

In preclinical models and a phase 1b/2 trial, ECP showed impressive results

This could be a game changer for patients with steroid-refractory toxicities. No more compromising between efficacy and safety!

Check out the full highlight.”
