“The FDA’s clearance for R-5780 is a testament to the innovation and dedication of our team at Rise Therapeutics driving novel immunotherapies forward into human proof-of-concept” states Christian Furlan Freguia, Senior Vice President of Research at Rise Therapeutics. “R-5780 represents a pioneering approach that leverages the power of gut-regulated immune pathways to enhance the effectiveness of immune checkpoint inhibitors… We believe R-5780 has the potential to expand responses in patients that become refractory to immune checkpoint inhibitors and increase responsiveness in tumors initially unresponsive to these medications”.
