Combining Immunotherapy with Docetaxel?

I'm a novice here am trying to learn about emerging treatments bringing therapies forward in the disease lifetime. The PEACE trial seemed to suggest combining therapies has benefits. I was talking to a doctor friend on this who mentioned there is promising work underway to combine an immunotherapy (maybe Keytruda?) with docetaxel. He heard the yet unpublished results are very good. Anyone heard of this or know about this?

Thanks very much to all who post.

Here's the promising results of Phase 2 trials I've seen so far combining docetaxel with immune checkpoint inhibitors:

Every time I see or hear the word Keytruda.... my ears perk up like a Male dog who spots a bitch in heat.... Keytruda worked for me on my Lung Melanoma.

God Bless our past and active military service personnel.

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
