Checkpoint inhibitors in a marriage: consented or arranged?

Abstract

There is currently a strong development of therapeutic combinations with checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs). The most promising combinations with CPIs concern anti-angiogenic agents and BRAF/MEK inhibitors. The timing of the initiation of the combination should be particularly well investigated for chemotherapy. Combinations between CPIs raise questions about risk/benefit ratio and overall clinical activity.
