The TLR7/8 agonist R848 remodels tumor and host responses to promote survival in pancreatic cancer

In the treatment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), comorbidities such as cachexia limit quality of life and survival. Here, the authors show TLR7/8 agonist R848 remodels host and tumour immune responses, promoting survival and attenuating cachexia in murine models of PDAC.
