“We are delighted to enter this collaboration in our mission to bring forward new, impactful treatments for cancer,” said Howard Kaufman, M.D., president and chief executive officer. “We have designed our ANK-101 immunotherapy candidate to increase the therapeutic window of IL-12, a potent cytokine, while also aiming to ensure patient tolerability. Patients with lung cancer need new effective treatments with fewer side effects, and we hope to meet this need in the future.”
