260 T cell infiltrating repertoire diversity is associated with enhanced survival following neoadjuvant therapy in patients with resectable pancreatic cancer
Abstract:BackgroundPancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly lethal malignancy, characterized by a desmoplastic stromal reaction and an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME)1. The metabolic stress within the PDAC TME promotes autophagy, a form of programmed cell survival associated with chemotherapeutic resistance and immune evasion.2, 3MethodsWe conducted a randomized phase II study of preoperative gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel with or without autophagy inhibition with oral hydroxychloroquine (HCQ)… Show more
