First Patient Dosed in STARt-002 Trial of Invikafusp Alfa in Combination with Trodelvy® in Metastatic Breast Cancer

Coupled with preclinical evidence of efficacy in breast cancer models, this combination with an ADC offers a promising and innovative approach to expanding immunotherapy options for patients with both HR+/HER2- and triple-negative breast cancers.”
