Substantiation De behandeling lijkt wel een positief effect te kunnen hebben. Op dit moment is het product nog lastig te duiden. Het is namelijk niet vergelijkbaar met andere immunotherapie. Uit de klinische studie blijkt dat LI immunotherapie niet leidt tot extra veiligheidsrisico's. Een vroege LI respons verlaagde de mortaliteit. Er werd een winst in overall survival gevonden wanneer LI + SOC gegeven werd in plaats van enkel SOC 0.68 HR.
Duration of treatment Average 3 week / weeks
Frequency of administration 1 times a day
References NCT01265849
