PDCD1 and gastric cancer: PD-1 inhibition is thought to work synergistically with HER2 inhibition increasing ADCC (antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity), and this concept has been investigated in the Keynote-811 trial, where treatment naive patients with HER2-positive GC or GOJ adenocarcinoma were randomized to receive pembrolizumab or placebo plus trastuzumab and investigator’s choice of fluorouracil/cisplatin or capecitabine/oxaliplatin.
