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 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.
