Abstract

T-cell costimulation and coinhibition can be respectively exploited by blocking and agonist mAbs. Both strategies can be synergistically combined in mouse models. Early clinical results from combinations of anti-PD-1 mAbs in conjunction with agonist anti-CD137 (4-1BB) mAbs show excellent safety and promising efficacy. <i>Clin Cancer Res; 23(18); 5326-8. ©2017 AACR</i><i>See related article by Tolcher et al., p. 5349</i>.
