Breelyn Wilky, MD The activity generated by the combination of doxorubicin, zalifrelimab (AGEN1884), and balstilimab (AGEN2034) in patients with advanced/metastatic soft tissue sarcoma indicated a potential pathway for the use of immunotherapy in this patient population, which has historically been associated with immunologically cold tumors, according to Breelyn Wilky, MD. Data from a single-arm, open-label […]
Cardiovascular and metabolic health was a major theme at the 12th International AIDS Society Conference on HIV Science (IAS 2023) which took place in Brisbane in July.
