⭐️A fantastic, balanced, and comprehensive editorial from Roberto Ferrara & colleagues - they do an elegant job dissecting many of my concerns with the state of IO clinical trial development. KEY POINTS: 1️⃣ Not all ICIs are equivalent & bind to varied epitopes. While single

Great post by Fabio Salomone Antonio Nuccio Roberto Ferrara Nice graph with PR, AR and the complex Immune Features. Despite 10 years of the ICI and the long tails of some trials we have very poor patient selection. #Oncology #LCSM #LungCancer #LungCancerResearch
