There was a clear progressive association between treatment with natalizumab and the development of PML. As a selective blocker of adhesion molecules, natalizumab prevents the migration of immunocompetent T-cells across biological barriers

(non-small cell lung cancer), with a large number of patients exhibiting resistant/refractory response to prior anti-PD-L1 exposure (NSCLC 82%, RCC 73%) and testing as PD-L1 negative (NSCLC 54%, RCC 95%). Significant Findings • Baseline tumor biopsies from the CPI-444 phase 1 trial demonstrate that CD73 is upregulated in anti-PD-1 naïve as compared to anti-PD-1 resistant/refractory tumors. Tumor cells adapt to overcome blockage of the PD-1 signaling using adenosine-mediated immunosuppression through
