Checkpoint inhibitors such as pembrolizumab (Keytruda) and nivolumab (Opdivo) have transformed the treatment landscape for lung cancer. However, ImmunityBio Inc. (NASDAQ:IBRX) said that clinical benefit is often transient, and effective treatment options remain limited once patients progress following standard-of-care chemo-radiation and checkpoint inhibition.

ImmunityBio Inc. (NASDAQ:IBRX) said that detailed results from both studies are being prepared for peer-review publication and future scientific presentations and serve as foundational safety and efficacy data demonstrating meaningful clinical benefit in patients with NSCLC who have failed all standards of care including checkpoint inhibitors.
