Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/013763
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention provides a novel and effective cancer immunotherapeutic agent exhibiting a therapeutic effect against refractory cancers, particularly against cancers for which immune checkpoint inhibitors used as a monotherapy or in combination with another drug are ineffective. Specifically, the present invention provides a cancer treatment agent obtained by combining an immune checkpoint inhibitor, interleukin-18 (IL-18), and a T-cell growth factor (e.g., interleukin-2 (IL-2)).
