ASCO GI: Final Results and New Xerna™ TME Panel Biomarker Data from Ph 2 Trial of Bavituximab + Pembrolizumab in 1L HCC Patients announced
David Hsieh, M.D., Assistant Professor at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and lead investigator of the Phase 2 trial, commented, “Our newly reported clinical data in front-line liver cancer show a near doubling of response rate in the subset of patients classified as biomarker-positive by the Xerna TME Panel. The high response rate seen in these patients is rarely achieved in this challenging disease. Moreover, our patients are potentially more reflective of typical U.S.-based patients compared to those included in recent large, pivotal trials that enrolled the majority of their patients at sites outside of the U.S. We are therefore excited by the prospect of using this panel to optimize the care of patients with liver cancer.”
