The activity of PD-1 blockade in patients with sarcoma has been modest so far. Here, the authors report the results of a pilot clinical trial to assess the efficacy and safety of bempegaldesleukin, a CD122-preferential interleukin-2 (IL-2) pathway agonist, in combination with the PD1 blockade (nivolumab) in patients with locally advanced or metastatic high-grade sarcoma.
