Description

Draganov and colleagues reported in 2021 that ivermectin could turn cold breast tumors hot. Their npj Breast Cancer paper claimed synergy with immune checkpoint blockade. The journal's editors have now pinned an Editorial Expression of Concern to that article. The notice signals unresolved questions about the paper's reliability.

Expressions of concern alert readers while editors weigh evidence and possible further action. The paper put forward combining ivermectin with checkpoint immunotherapy for breast cancer. No verdict on the findings accompanies this notice. Readers are directed to treat the original results with caution pending resolution.
