Having the cake and eating it? Clofazimine boosts immunotherapy while limiting side effects. Academic Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • Combined immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) for cancer exhibits good efficacy in a subset of patients but also associates with immune-related adverse events. Xue et al. use an elegant drug screening strategy to identify the antimicrobial drug clofazimine as an agent that both potentiates ICB efficacy and decreases immune-related adverse events.
