IO Biotech and Merck to Evaluate Neoadjuvant and Adjuvant IO102-IO103 With KEYTRUDA in Ph 2 Trial in Patients with Resectable Tumors
“We are pleased to extend our collaboration with Merck into this new exploration of IO102-IO103 in combination with pembrolizumab in earlier, neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings,” said Mai-Britt Zocca, Ph.D., President and CEO of IO Biotech. “IO102-IO103 has shown promising early clinical activity with a positive safety profile in melanoma thus far and, as highlighted in our Key Opinion Leader webinar this past spring, a compelling need remains among patients with advanced melanoma for effective treatments with reduced toxicity. We believe that the novel biology of IO102-IO103 represents a potential paradigm shift in the management of additional cancer types beyond melanoma, and we look forward to expanding our dataset to evaluate our medicine in combination with pembrolizumab in earlier neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings.”
