Stimulation of CD40 on dendritic cells to expand and activate tumor-specific T cells and
generate anticancer immunity is an attractive therapeutic approach. Since CD40 agonists
exert their effects upstream of checkpoint inhibitors, including PD-1 or PD-L1 antagonists,
they are ideal candidates for combination regimens.
