However, the subsequent death of another patient thrust Denys into a contentious trial. Despite the high costs, researchers in Kyoto generated enough cultured platelets in 2022 to transfuse a 55-year-old woman for an initial human trial. The results of the trial are expected at the end of 2024. Data from Rousseau G.F.

Utilising engineered peptides for immunotherapy

Drug Target Review

The combination of P1 with antiPD1 more efficiently activated innate and adaptive immune responses than either P1 or antiPD1 alone by re-energising T cell effector functions, thus providing the remarkable reduction of tumour growth in solid tumours and extended survival period.
