So I was listening to some music videos on YouTube this morning and an advertisement started playing for a drug named KeyTruda. It is apparently an FDA approved form of immunotherapy known as checkpoint inhibition. As with most drug commercials there was a listing of potential side effects with the most serious being "your immune system attacking normal organs". A quick look at the web page for the drug repeated this warning prominently in many locations. Perhaps Cytosorb use as a rescue therapy may be more wide-spread than as previously mentioned for CAR T-Cell treatment.

From the Keytruda site:

KEYTRUDA is a type of immunotherapy that works by blocking the PD-1 pathway and to help prevent cancer cells from hiding. KEYTRUDA helps the immune system do what it was meant to do: detect and fight cancer cells.

KEYTRUDA can cause your immune system to attack normal organs and tissues in any area of your body and can affect the way they work. These problems can sometimes become serious or life-threatening and can lead to death.
