Clinical Pearls:
- Developing immunotherapy agents in this space is a work in progress
- Investigators at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have been looking at an autologous cell-based vaccine
- Antigen-specific vaccines are also in development for pancreatic cancer
- There is a need to “make room†for immunotherapies and determine their optimal use, especially with regard to immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4
