    Fc-enhanced anti-CTLA-4, anti-PD-1, doxorubicin, and ultrasound-mediated BBB opening: A novel combinatorial immunotherapy regimen for gliomas. (PubMed, Neuro Oncol)
    Our findings demonstrate that FcE-aCTLA-4 promotes robust immunomodulatory and anti-tumor effects in murine gliomas and is significantly enhanced when combined with anti-PD-1, doxorubicin, and LIPU/MB. We are currently investigating this combinatory strategy in a clinical trial (clinicaltrials.gov NCT05864534).
