Combining Gemcitabine With CXCR4, PD-1 Inhibitors for Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma [Video]

Gulam Abbas Manji, MD, PhD, expands on the combination treatment of CXCR4 and PD-1 inhibitors for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and how recent research in lab mice has pointed to its potential benefit.

He describes the CXCL12-CXCR4 chemokine axis and how its disruption can lead to increased activation of CD8+ T cells.
