Agenus Inc. (NASDAQ: AGEN) generates a steady stream of news centered on its immuno-oncology pipeline, with particular focus on the botensilimab (BOT) and balstilimab (BAL) combination. As a Lexington, Massachusetts-based biological products manufacturer focused on cancer immunotherapy, the company’s updates frequently highlight progress in clinical trials, early-access frameworks and strategic collaborations.
Many recent headlines relate to BOT+BAL’s performance in advanced solid tumors. Agenus reports data from the C-800-01 Phase 1b trial, which evaluates the combination across multiple refractory cancers, and from the global BATTMAN CO.33 Phase 3 trial in microsatellite-stable colorectal cancer conducted with the Canadian Cancer Trials Group and international academic partners. News coverage also includes peer-reviewed publications, such as results in treatment-refractory ovarian cancer, and presentations at major oncology congresses.
Another major theme in Agenus news is patient access. The company has announced that France’s medicines agency authorized a national Autorisation d’Accès Compassionnel (AAC) protocol for BOT+BAL, enabling fully reimbursed hospital-based access for eligible patients with microsatellite-stable metastatic colorectal cancer, certain ovarian cancers and soft-tissue sarcomas. Additional stories describe named-patient and early-access programs in other geographies where regulations allow.
Strategic and corporate developments also feature prominently. Agenus has disclosed a collaboration with Zydus Lifesciences involving the sale of biologics manufacturing facilities in California, an equity investment in Agenus, and an exclusive license for BOT and BAL in India and Sri Lanka, along with the creation of Zylidac Bio LLC to house the acquired U.S. manufacturing assets.
