First Patient Dosed in STARt-002 Trial of Invikafusp Alfa in Combination with Trodelvy® in Metastatic Breast Cancer
“The growing body of evidence supporting combinations of ADCs and immunotherapies is encouraging, including the recent success of the ASCENT-04 trial combining sacituzumab govitecan with pembrolizumab in metastatic TNBC,” said Steven Isakoff, M.D., Ph.D., Medical Oncologist and Director of Breast Cancer Clinical Research at Massachusetts General Hospital. “Invikafusp alfa is a novel bi-specific immunotherapy designed as a dual T cell agonist, and the recent AACR presentation highlighting its single-agent activity in PD-1 resistant tumors is particularly compelling. Coupled with preclinical evidence of efficacy in breast cancer models, this combination with an ADC offers a promising and innovative approach to expanding immunotherapy options for patients with both HR+/HER2- and triple-negative breast cancers.”
