Updated Interim Ph 1/1b Data of Ficerafusp Alfa (BCA101) in 1L HPV-negative Recurrent/Metastatic HNSCC reported
“Data from our ongoing Phase 1/1b clinical trial reflected a substantial increase over the historical 19% ORR observed in a Phase 3 trial with pembrolizumab monotherapy, the current standard of care in R/M HNSCC,” said David Raben, M.D., chief medical officer of Bicara Therapeutics. “Now with at least a year of follow-up on this cohort, it is encouraging to see a number of patients experience durable responses with the CR and mPFS data that have emerged. We believe these data indicate that ficerafusp alfa in combination with pembrolizumab may become a new chemotherapy-free standard of care treatment for HPV-negative first-line R/M HNSCC.”
