“The 82% disease control rate observed so far with this combination is highly encouraging, especially in the heavily pre-treated population with previous immune CPI resistance, where typically the Disease Control Rates are in the 25-35% range. This preliminary data aligns with our pre-clinical data which showed that THIO, followed by an immune checkpoint inhibitor, greatly slowed and reduced tumor progression when compared to treatment with CPI alone. We look forward to continue the monitoring of these patients and evaluate disease control rates on a longer time frame with the next response assessment phases,” said Vlad Vitoc, MAIA’s Chief Executive Officer.
