First Lung Cancer Patient Dosed in Ph 1 Trial for BBP-398 in Combination with OPDIVO
“SHP2 has been shown to be a key regulator of both tumor and immune cell signaling. In KRAS mutant tumors, SHP2 promotes survival, proliferation and decreased immunogenicity by driving the active form of KRAS, while in immune cells, it associates with PD-1 which leads to immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment,” said Eli Wallace, Ph.D., chief scientific officer of oncology at BridgeBio. “By partnering with Bristol Myers Squibb on this trial, we hope to show that targeting PD-1 with a two-prong approach can unlock the potent benefits of immunotherapy against this cancer and provide new treatment options for patients who need them.”
