These data suggest that treatment with the semaphorin 4D (SEMA4D) blocking antibody, pepinemab, may reverse immunosuppression to promote the infiltration and activation of dendritic cells and CD8+ cells into the TME, rendering “cold” tumors “hot” and leading to enhanced efficacy of ICIs such as avelumab.”
