Is Rhee any indication that this will be tested on folks whose tumors are not MSI-High? Am I conflating the irrelevant? Is this not a checkpoint inhibitor study? Truly interested, and my ignorance was, unfortunately, not entirely assuaged by the articles.

Seems like the new drug is a way to heat up the colid tumor i.e. immuno effects. I'm thinking this will be good for MSS patients. I hope!!
