Tocilizumab for the management of immune mediated adverse events secondary to PD-1 blockade.

TL;DR: Tocilizumab may be a therapeutic option for the management of steroid refractory irAEs secondary to immune checkpoint blockade, however, randomized trials are needed to better elucidate the relative efficacy and safety of these agents.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antibiotic use and overall survival in lung cancer patients receiving nivolumab.

Journal ArticleDOI

Sequence of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy and immune checkpoint blockade in the treatment of metastatic lung cancer.

TL;DR: Monoclonal antibodies targeting immune checkpoint proteins have recently been shown to elicit robust and durable responses in patients with advanced lung cancer, but with res.e20665 this data indicates that these antibodies may also be applicable to other types of cancer.
