245 _aStemness as the engine of checkpoint durability

520 _aCheckpoint inhibitors have transformed cancer therapy, with 250,000 to 400,000 patients treated annually in the United States. By blocking programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) or its ligand (PD-L1), checkpoint inhibitors suppress inhibitory signals that restrain T-cell activation, thereby restoring antitumor immunity. Despite early and sometimes dramatic responses, clinical benefits often wane. Retrospective analyses of checkpoint-inhibitor rechallenge show lower response rates and diminished durability as compared with initial treatment. These observations lead to the question: can prolonged or intensified PD-1 or PD-L1 blockade paradoxically compromise the long-term immune fitness required for sustained tumor control? A recent study by Hor et al. suggests that it does and provides a mechanistic framework that may reshape how checkpoint inhibitors are deployed and their durability extended.
