    Overcoming immune checkpoint blockade resistance in solid tumors with intermittent ITK inhibition

    Cytotoxic CD8 + T cell (CTL) exhaustion is driven by chronic antigen stimulation. Reversing CTL exhaustion with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has provided clinical benefits in different types of cancer. We,...
