“…24,26 MSC-1 monotherapy decreased tumor growth and drove reprogramming of the TME from an immunosuppressive M2-like state to an immunostimulatory M1-like state, while decreasing regulatory T cells and increasing T-effector cells and natural killer cells. [24][25][26] Combination therapy with MSC-1 and a PD-1 inhibitor induced durable slowing of tumor growth more than PD-1 inhibitor monotherapy in these tumor models, suggesting a synergistic mechanism of action. 26 It is hypothesized that in patients with advanced solid tumors, MSC-1 could effectively block LIF signaling, activate immune-mediated antitumor effects, and inhibit cancer stem cells.…”
