BeiGene OK'd to Start US Trial of PD-1 Cancer Drug

BeiGene, a Beijing novel cancer drug company, will start a US Phase Ia/b clinical trial of BGB-A317, the company's humanized mAb that targets the immune checkpoint receptor PD-1. BeiGene expects to develop the molecule as a monotherapy and in combination with other cancer drugs to treat solid-organ and blood-borne cancers.

The trials are enrolling patients with relapsed or refractory solid tumors. More details.... Share this with colleagues: // //
