Overview

This is a combination therapy consisting of compound kushen injection (CKI), a traditional Chinese medicine formulation, and pembrolizumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor. CKI is derived from the roots of Sophora flavescens (Kushen) and has demonstrated anti-cancer properties through various mechanisms including immunomodulation. Pembrolizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that blocks the interaction between PD-1 and its ligands, enhancing T-cell immune responses against cancer cells. The combination may potentially offer synergistic effects by combining CKI's immunomodulatory and anti-tumor properties with pembrolizumab's immune checkpoint inhibition.
