Nectin Therapeutics and Merck to test Anti-PVR Antibody NTX1088 + KEYTRUDA® in Patients with Locally Advanced and Metastatic Solid Tumors

“We are very pleased to partner with Merck to explore the therapeutic potential of NTX1088 in combination with KEYTRUDA®. This collaboration represents an important milestone for Nectin, and a promising new therapy for cancer patients,” said Dr. Keren Paz, Chief Development Officer of Nectin Therapeutics. “Our preclinical studies have shown that PVR blockade by NTX1088, as a monotherapy, and in combination with PD1 inhibitors, can significantly enhance antitumor immunity. We look forward to advancing the clinical trials for NTX1088, as we pursue the development of new treatment options for patients who do not respond to existing therapies.”
