ICI and Response in Autoimmunity

Overview

About this study

The primary aims of this study are to determine the immunopathology and molecular mechanisms of clinically-used PD-1 and PDL1 blockade mediated autoimmune diseases, and to investigate how dysregulation of PD-1 signaling contributes to IA-irAE and seronegative RA in human subjects.
