Citius Pharmaceuticals and Citius Oncology announced preliminary results from a Phase I trial evaluating the combination of pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®) and LYMPHIR™ in patients with recurrent solid tumors, focusing on gynecological cancers like ovarian, endometrial, and cervical.

The regimen was well-tolerated, with no serious immune-related adverse events. The study, nearing completion, will enroll three more patients.
