⚠️ From press release on Skyscraper -06: Tira+Atezo +chemo INCREASED by 33% the risk of DEATH compared to Pembro +chemo 🤦🏻 Could ICI combos exert detrimental effect? More is NOT always better in IO and some ICI combos may have hetero-neutralizing impact on microenvironmental immune activation IMO we should abandon “chemo+Pembro+ “another ICI” trials in unselected populations and try to define molecularly selected subsets( co-mutations?) of pts who require combinatorial approaches #some #LCSM @OncoAlert @OncBrothers
