Cancer combinatorial immunotherapy using anti-OX40 agonist and anti-PD-L1 antagonist: a patent evaluation of US2018256711A1.

: OX40 is checkpoint inhibitor in cancer that coordinates the downregulation of the proliferation of antigen-specific lymphocytes. There is a great need to discover and develop new therapies focused on inhibiting the action of OX40 and consequently improving the immune response in the various types of cancer. Authors of patent US2018256711A1 propose a method to eradicate cancer that utilizes anti-OX40 agonist antibody in combination with anti-PD-L1 antagonist antibody. : Patent US2018256711A1 describes a method of cancer combinatorial treatment consisting of the utilization of a pharmaceutical cocktail containing anti-OX40 and an anti-PD-L1 antibody. : The results of the clinical trials only support trials regarding the tolerability of combinatorial therapy, even when the objectives of determining the safety and pharmacokinetics of the treatment are proposed.
