Our results indicate that animals receiving anti-PD-1 + TIGIT exhibited a superior anti-tumour response, with 90% of the treatment group exhibiting an objective response, compared to 60%, 20% and 40% for the standard-of-care anti-PD-1 + CTLA-4, single-agent anti-PD-1 and cisplatin/pemetrexed treatment groups, respectively. This evidence concerns the gene PDCD1 and neoplasm.
