Abstract
A new study published in Nature reports results from the phase I/IIa study GDFATHER, showing synergistic effects of the neutralizing anti-GDF15 antibody visugromab in combination with the anti-PD1 antibody nivolumab in patients with urothelial cancer.
This trial builds on results in preclinical models showing that GDF15 blockade enhanced the efficacy of PD1-mediated immunotherapy, indicating the potential of anti-GDF15 antibodies in mitigating immunotherapy resistance.
