This might be related with the case of Richard Scolyer, the Australian pathologist diagnosed with Glioblastoma. He was receiving some kind of experimental treatment for it.

I believe he got just got either Ipilimumab and Nivolumab as a combo therapy or Pembrolizumab. He's a researcher who focuses on neo-adjuvant (use therapy before resection) therapy in melanomas. It was a good gamble to try the same paradigm in Glioblastomas

Ipi/nivo/relatlimab and then a peptide vaccine that they haven't written up yet.

Thanks for the link to the paper. I notice that the abstract has a link to the page for the upcoming trial:

It will be interesting to follow its progress.

In news announced a few minutes ago, Richard Scolyer's cancer has come back and the prognosis is a few months to live.
