Concomitant medications can influence ICI outcomes & represent a modifiable prognostic factor. Now, Young & colleagues explore immunomodulatory effects of common drugs + supplements & propose strategies to integrate this knowledge into clinical care.
The impact of concomitant medications on treatment outcomes in patients with cancer receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors - Nature Reviews Cancer
Concomitant medications are emerging as a modifiable prognostic factor for immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment outcomes. This Review by Stone et al. highlights the potential immunomodulatory interactions of commonly prescribed medications and supplements, and proposes strategies to make better use of this information to guide clinical care.

Why do IBD patients face higher clot risk? And could Rac1 inhibitors be powerful therapeutics for IBD? Aaron Petrey's lab uncovered a novel mechanism of platelet regulation. To find out more: ashpublications.org/blood/articl...
Layilin inhibits integrin activation, and its loss results in platelet hyperactivation via Rac1 in inflammatory bowel disease
Key Points. The endothelial glycocalyx component hyaluronan regulates PAR-agonist induced platelet activation through the C-type lectin layilinReduced Layi
