The trial, which involves 60 patients with advanced solid tumors, reported a 14% overall response rate in patients resistant to PD-(L)1 inhibitors, a notable achievement given the typical response rates for such patients. Among the significant findings was a durable complete response in a Merkel Cell Carcinoma patient who has been tumor-free for over 42 weeks. Additionally, partial responses were observed in another Merkel Cell Carcinoma patient and a microsatellite instability-high Colorectal Cancer patient. The therapy has been well-tolerated, with most adverse events being mild and manageable.

The firm highlighted the 62% disease control rate and the ongoing response in patients as positive indicators for the therapy’s potential.
