The trickle of Checkpoint inhibitor withdrawals in certain indications is definitely not a one-off for several BPs.
I think it does leave a gap, and agree with others this might intensify the need to utilize a safer and potentially more symbiotic therapy like autologous DCs.
Add to that rapid progression side effects from CIs and DCs are looking better and better.
Maybe then this explains why UCLA’s website specifically/currently lists “DCVax” as a promising immunotherapy but CIs in the same section does not mention “Keytruda,” nor is the latter referred to as promising.
Maybe it explains why the Combo rGBM trial uses a CI as a potential adjuvant to DCs, and not the other way around.
Maybe it even explains Perlmutter/Frazier getting out while the gettings good. They knew the status of those confirmatory trials when they announced their intent to leave.
Maybe it also puts into perspective LPs long stated theme that as these other (once) pillars of treatment fade away, forces are gravitating to autologous DCs.
