The clinical trial focusing on ovarian cancer and immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) naïve and refractory microsatellite stable (MSS)/microsatellite instability-low (MSI-L) colorectal cancer (CRC) has demonstrated significant clinical activity in these challenging cancer types. The findings were relayed by Dr. Emese Zsiros, M.D., Ph.D., Associate Professor of Oncology and Chair of the Department of Gynecologic Oncology at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center (ovarian), and Dr. Eric S. Christenson, M.D., Assistant Professor of Oncology at Johns Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center (CRC).
"The combinatory therapy of NC410 and pembrolizumab continues to show clinical effectiveness against ovarian cancer as well as MSS/MSI-L CRC, which are particularly resistant to immunotherapy. In both cancer types, study participants who experienced partial response or stable disease showed a durability of response that is meaningful for these groups of patients," stated Dr. Udayan Guha, M.D., Ph.D., Senior Vice President, Clinical and Translational Development at NextCure. "Our team will keep monitoring the participants who are still under study and we anticipate providing an update later in the year."
