Influence of intestinal microbial metabolites on the abscopal effect after radiation therapy combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors

CONCLUSION: We did not find a significant impact of combinatory ABx on the AE. Experimental application of the IFN-I-inducing metabolites DAT or ICA did not boost the AE after combined RIT. Additional studies are important to further investigate whether the intestinal microbiota or specific microbiota-derived metabolites modulate the …
