Cosibelimab Longer-Term Results Demonstrating Substantial Increases in Complete Response Rates in Advanced Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Mr. Oliviero continued, “Unlike PD-1 inhibitors, cosibelimab does not interrupt the body’s PD-1/PD-L2 pathway, which we believe results in cosibelimab’s low rates of autoimmunity. We believe cosibelimab’s favorable safety profile should position the product as the preferred immunotherapy of oncologists for the large number of high-risk cSCC patients, such as those with solid organ transplants or autoimmune disease, upon its potential launch early next year. If our Biologics License Application (“BLA”) is approved in the coming months, based on its unique mechanism of action and compelling efficacy and safety profile, we believe cosibelimab, as a differentiated and possibly best-in-class treatment, has the potential to become the market leading immunotherapy for patients with cSCC, which we estimate to be a $1.6 billion annual U.S. market opportunity.”
