Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This is a laboratory, non-treatment study. Immune checkpoint inhibitors are a type of immunotherapy that stimulates a patients immune system to fight their cancer. Immune checkpoint inhibitors are standard, FDA approved treatment for certain types of cancers such as melanoma, lung cancer, kidney cancer and bladder cancer. The laboratories of Dr. Jack Elias and Dr. Chun Geun Lee at Brown University are studying how immune checkpoint inhibitors work.Kintai Therapeutics is a biotech company in Cambridge Massachusetts that will focus on the molecules present in the GI tract, including the stomach, small intestine and colon.
