SYNC’s chair commented: “The data which will be presented at ESMO further underlines the strong safety and tolerability profile of ANV419, demonstrating potential differentiation from other IL-2 therapies. We are encouraged by the NSCLC patient who has demonstrated a durable response and now await the full efficacy read-out in the ongoing monotherapy trial in melanoma at the recommended Phase II dose.”
