IO Biotech president and CEO Mai-Britt Zocca said: “The Phase I/II data of IO102-IO103 in combination with a PD-1 inhibitor in patients with first-line advanced melanoma demonstrated approximately double the effect than would have been expected with PD-1 inhibitor monotherapy in this patient population – with 80% of patients achieving a response, 50% of patients achieving a complete response, and no additional systemic toxicity than that typically seen with a PD-1 inhibitor alone.
“Completion of enrolment in this pivotal Phase III trial marks a significant milestone for our company and is a testament to the enthusiasm for this study among our investigators and the patient community.”
