Nanomedicine-based chemotherapeutic formulations can induce immunogenic cell death, which enhances the effectiveness of combination chemoimmunotherapy. The combination of these formulations with immunoactivating agents is a promising strategy for clinical cancer treatment.
Chemotherapeutic nanoformulations, which can induce the immunogenic death of tumor cells, have attracted in-creasing attention for their abilities to enable and potentiate combination chemoimmunotherapy. Immunogenic cell death (ICD) causes the release of tumor-associated antigens, tumor-specific antigens, danger-associated mo-lecular patterns, and pro-inflammatory cytokines, which trigger adaptive immune cells to elicit an antitumor immune response. The combination of ICD-inducing nanomedicines and immunoactivators represents a promising strategy for enhancing chemoimmunotherapy in clinical applications. In this review, we provide an overview of the latest advances in chemotherapeutic nanoformulation-mediated immune activation and the combination strategies with various immunoactivating agents, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors, indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase inhibitors, cytokines, and Toll-like receptor agonists, and predict their potential to contribute significantly to clinical cancer chemoimmunotherapy.
