First patient enrolled in Ph 1b/2a study of BI-1607 in combination with ipilimumab and KEYTRUDA in patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma
“The early data delivered so far by our BI-1607 program have been highly promising and we are very pleased to be advancing the asset’s development with this new study,” said Martin Welschof, Chief Executive Officer of BioInvent. “We have shown BI-1607 to be safe and well tolerated with signs of early clinical activity in Phase 1 evaluation in combination with trastuzumab. Additionally, our preclinical data also indicate that a regimen including BI-1607 could allow the use of lower doses of ipilimumab, potentially achieving increased tolerability and higher efficacy. We are looking forward to exploring the huge potential of this combination further and preliminary data from the study expected next year.”
