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.”
