Patients were administered either 8mg/kg or 10 mg/Kg of TRC105 weekly four doses and then 15 mg/kg dose every two weeks, in combination with Opdivo of 240 mg.
The combination, according to the company, was well-tolerated without the development of dose limiting toxicity in six patients who were treated as part of dose escalation.
The company said it is currently enrolling in two parallel, 12-patient expansion cohorts, with one cohort testing who have relapsed following prior PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint inhibition treatment, and the other consisting of patients who have not received prior PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint inhibition treatment.
