At a time when resistance to checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) has become a major clinical challenge, the Phase I study evaluating ATG-037 in combination with CPIs has already demonstrated promising potency into reversing CPI resistance. Beyond validating the synergistic potential of these two innovative drugs, this collaboration aims to advance the efficacy of existing immunotherapies and extend the overall survival (OS) of cancer patients through a "triple-axis" approach that incorporates immune checkpoint signalling, anti-angiogenesis, and the alleviation of adenosine-mediated ...
