A study of using epigenetic modulators to enhance response to pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in microsatellite stable advanced colorectal cancer

Abstract Background Approximately 95% of advanced colorectal cancer patients (CRC) have mismatch repair MMR-proficient (MMRp) tumors, which do not respond to PD1 blockade alone. Preclinical studies have shown that combined histone deacetylases (HDAC) and/or DNA methyltransferases (DNMT) inhibition c...
