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 trial showed a 27% Objective Response Rate (ORR) and a 33% Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR) with a median Progression-Free Survival (PFS) of 57 weeks. The regimen was well-tolerated, with no serious immune-related adverse events. The study, nearing completion, will enroll three more patients. The results suggest LYMPHIR may enhance the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors like pembrolizumab. The trial's promising outcomes support expanding research into a Phase II study to evaluate the combination's benefits across a broader range of solid tumors.
