Abstract
Targeting checkpoints for immune cell activation has been acknowledged known as one of the most effective way to activate anti-tumor immune responses. Among them, drugs targeting cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) are approved for clinical treatment though several more are in advanced stages of development, which demonstrated durable response rates and manageable safety profile. However, its therapy efficacy is unsatisfactory in pancreatic cancer (PC), which can be limited by the overall condition of patients, the pathological type of PC, the expression level of tumor related genes, etc. To improve clinical efficiency, various researches have been conducted, and the efficacy of combination therapy showed significantly improvement compared to monotherapy. This review analyzed current strategies based on anti-CTLA-4 combination immunotherapy, providing totally new idea for future research.
靶向检查点激活免疫细胞已被公认为激活抗肿瘤免疫反应的最有效方法之一。其中,以细胞毒性 T 淋巴细胞相关蛋白 4(CTLA-4)为靶点的药物已被批准用于临床治疗,还有几种药物正处于开发的后期阶段,这些药物显示出持久的应答率和可控的安全性。然而,其对胰腺癌(PC)的疗效并不理想,这可能受到患者整体情况、PC 病理类型、肿瘤相关基因表达水平等因素的限制。为了提高临床疗效,人们开展了各种研究,与单药治疗相比,联合治疗的疗效显著提高。本综述分析了目前基于抗CTLA-4联合免疫疗法的策略,为今后的研究提供了全新的思路。
