Welcome to our dedicated page for Immunitybio news (Ticker: IBRX), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on Immunitybio stock.
ImmunityBio, Inc. (NASDAQ: IBRX) generates frequent news as a commercial-stage biotechnology company centered on IL‑15–based immunotherapies and cell therapies. Its updates often highlight clinical data, regulatory milestones, and commercial performance for ANKTIVA, an IL‑15 receptor agonist fusion complex that the company describes as a key component of its BioShield platform.
News coverage commonly focuses on bladder cancer and non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). For non‑muscle invasive bladder cancer, ImmunityBio reports results from the QUILT‑3.032 trial of ANKTIVA plus BCG in BCG‑unresponsive disease, including data on disease‑specific survival, progression‑free survival, and cystectomy avoidance. For NSCLC, press releases describe findings from QUILT‑2.023 and QUILT‑3.055, where ANKTIVA combined with checkpoint inhibitors has been associated with immune restoration, measured by absolute lymphocyte count, and linked to survival outcomes in checkpoint‑experienced patients.
Regulatory developments are another major news theme. Recent announcements include a conditional marketing authorization recommendation from the European Medicines Agency for ANKTIVA plus BCG in BCG‑unresponsive NMIBC CIS, as well as Saudi Food and Drug Authority approvals for ANKTIVA plus BCG in NMIBC CIS and for ANKTIVA in combination with checkpoint inhibitors in metastatic NSCLC, including the first approval for subcutaneous administration. These items illustrate how ImmunityBio’s news flow tracks the global expansion of ANKTIVA‑based regimens.
Investors and observers can also expect news on financial results and product revenue, particularly net product revenue and unit growth for ANKTIVA, along with cash position and capital‑raising activities disclosed in earnings releases and related Form 8‑K filings. Additional stories cover early data in glioblastoma using ANKTIVA plus NK cell therapy and the Optune Gio device, initiatives in non‑Hodgkin lymphoma and other cancers, and participation in forums such as the U.S.–Saudi Biotech Alliance Summit.
By following ImmunityBio’s news page, readers can track clinical trial progress, new approvals, and commercial trends that shape the outlook for IBRX and its IL‑15–based immunotherapy programs.
ImmunityBio (NASDAQ: IBRX) held a Type B End-of-Phase meeting with the U.S. FDA about a supplemental BLA for ANKTIVA in BCG-unresponsive papillary NMIBC. The FDA recommended submission of additional information to support a potential resubmission of the sBLA; ImmunityBio compiled the requested materials and will submit them within 30 days. Long-term data in papillary patients (N=80) show ~96% bladder cancer-specific survival at 36 months, >80% bladder preservation at three years, and median survival not yet reached. ANKTIVA is commercially launched for NMIBC CIS in the U.S. and has approvals in the UK and Saudi Arabia and conditional approval in the EU.
ImmunityBio (NASDAQ: IBRX) reported updated QUILT-106 results showing durable complete responses with an off-the-shelf CD19 CAR-NK plus rituximab in Waldenström Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Four enrolled patients achieved 100% disease control to date; two evaluable patients have ongoing complete responses at 7 months and 15 months after completing eight outpatient doses (four cycles) with no lymphodepletion or further therapy.
ImmunityBio (NASDAQ: IBRX) reported that enrollment in its randomized registrational trial QUILT-2.005 for BCG‑naïve non‑muscle‑invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) has exceeded expectations and is over 85% complete, with full enrollment anticipated by Q2 2026. Based on the current trajectory, the company anticipates submitting a BLA to FDA by year‑end 2026. An FDA‑requested interim analysis showed that ANKTIVA + BCG significantly prolonged duration of complete response versus BCG alone: 6‑month CR 85% vs 57%, 9‑month CR 84% vs 52%, with the 9‑month difference reaching statistical significance (p=0.0455). The company noted an Expanded Access Program for recombinant BCG is proceeding and has requested FDA consultation on recombinant BCG as an alternative supply.
ImmunityBio (NASDAQ: IBRX) reported strong commercial momentum for ANKTIVA with preliminary full-year net product revenue of ~$113.0M, a ~700% year‑over‑year increase.

The company held an estimated $242.8M in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at Dec 31, 2025. Regulatory progress includes SFDA approvals for ANKTIVA plus checkpoint inhibitors in metastatic NSCLC (first global approval for this indication and first subcutaneous authorization) and for ANKTIVA plus BCG in BCG‑unresponsive NMIBC CIS. Phase 2b QUILT‑2.005 enrollment is ahead of expectations with full enrollment expected in H1 2026.
ImmunityBio (NASDAQ: IBRX) said the Saudi Food and Drug Authority granted accelerated approval for ANKTIVA® (nogapendekin alfa inbakicept) plus BCG to treat adult patients with BCG‑unresponsive non‑muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) with carcinoma in situ, with or without papillary disease, based on QUILT‑3.032 data.
This approval joins existing U.S. and U.K. approvals and a conditional EU approval. ImmunityBio plans a regional office in Saudi Arabia and named Biopharma Cigalah as its commercial partner for the Middle East and North Africa. The randomized QUILT‑2.005 trial in BCG‑naïve NMIBC is ahead of schedule, with full enrollment expected by Q2 2026 and a potential BLA submission targeted by year‑end 2026.
ImmunityBio (NASDAQ: IBRX) announced that the Saudi Food and Drug Authority granted accelerated approval to ANKTIVA (nogapendekin alfa inbakicept) in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors for adult patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer whose disease progressed after standard‑of‑care therapy.
This is the company's first global approval and the first subcutaneous IL‑15 receptor superagonist approval. Approval was based on QUILT‑3.055 and QUILT‑2.023 data showing lymphocyte recovery (ALC) associated with improved survival; a confirmatory randomized trial (ResQ 201A) is ongoing. ImmunityBio plans a Saudi regional office and a commercial partnership with Biopharma Cigalah.
ImmunityBio (NASDAQ: IBRX) reported positive clinical results showing ANKTIVA® (nogapendekin alfa inbakicept) acts as a lymphocyte-stimulating agent when combined with checkpoint inhibitors in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Across 151 patients in two trials (QUILT-2.023 first-line; QUILT-3.055 second-/later-line), ANKTIVA plus CPI produced a statistically significant ALC rise versus CPI alone (p=0.0065) and restored/maintained ALC ≥1.0×10³/µL in 77% of patients. Responders had longer median overall survival (16.2 vs 11.8 months; HR 0.52; p=0.0369); patients with ALC ≥1.2×10³/µL had median OS 21.1 months (HR 0.33; p=0.0009), independent of PD-L1.
