Featuring matured data from the non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and urothelial cancer (UC) cohorts, as well as novel, early data for the hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cohort and an additional biomarker cohort, the presentation highlighted that treatment with a combination of CatalYm's lead candidate, visugromab, combined with the anti-PD-1 antibody nivolumab achieves compelling deep and durable anti-tumoral activity in anti-PD-1/PD-L1 relapsed/refractory patients as defined by strict criteria. The combination of visugromab and nivolumab further demonstrates an excellent safety and tolerability profile. Visugromab is a monoclonal antibody designed to neutralize the tumor-produced Growth Differentiation Factor-15 (GDF-15), a central mediator of immune resistance to cancer therapies.
