Promising Data from Ongoing Ph 2a study for BI-1808 with KEYTRUDA in Recurrent Ovarian Cancer Reported
“Recurrent ovarian cancer has few options after platinum failure and a history of unsuccessful attempts to develop chemotherapy-free immunotherapy approaches,” said Martin Welschof, Chief Executive Officer of BioInvent. “Pembrolizumab has shown meaningful benefit only when combined with chemotherapy, while monotherapy in the KEYNOTE-100 study achieved an ORR of 8%. Against this backdrop, observing a 24% response rate and a 65% disease control rate with BI-1808 in combination with pembrolizumab is highly encouraging and has led us to expand this cohort to better qualify this signal. These results suggest that our combination could deliver a new immuno-oncology option for patients who urgently need better alternatives, and we look forward to reporting more data going forward.”
