ImmunityBio (NASDAQ: IBRX) presented positive long-term overall survival data for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients at the World Conference on Lung Cancer. The Phase 2 QUILT 3.055 trial showed extended survival of 14 months to five years for advanced NSCLC patients treated with ANKTIVA in combination with checkpoint inhibitors like KEYTRUDA or OPDIVO. Key findings include:

- 57% overall survival at 12 months
- 34% overall survival at 18 months
- Survival independent of PDL1 tumor status and line of therapy
- Efficacy in patients who progressed on previous checkpoint inhibitor treatments

Based on these results, ImmunityBio plans to launch global Phase 3 randomized control ResQ trials of ANKTIVA plus KEYTRUDA or OPDIVO in 1st and 2nd line NSCLC (ResQ301 and ResQ302) versus standard of care.

ImmunityBio (NASDAQ: IBRX) has made significant progress in market access for ANKTIVA®, its FDA-approved treatment for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer with carcinoma in situ (CIS). Within three months of approval, ANKTIVA® is now covered by over a dozen insurance plans, representing more than 100 million lives. The company is expanding its bladder cancer program globally, initiating the filing process with the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for EU approval and launching a BCG naïve trial (QUILT-2.005) in India.

ImmunityBio has also held an FDA meeting regarding ANKTIVA's potential in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) following positive overall survival results in a completed trial. The company is preparing additional study information for a potential NSCLC pivotal trial. These developments mark significant steps in expanding ANKTIVA's reach and potential applications in cancer treatment.

ImmunityBio (NASDAQ: IBRX) has announced a new clinical trial, QUILT 502, to study ANKTIVA® in combination with the AdHER2DC vaccine for endometrial cancer. This Phase 1/2 study, sponsored by the National Cancer Institute, will enroll 60 participants with HER2-positive endometrial cancer. The trial combines ANKTIVA, recently FDA-approved for bladder cancer, with the investigational AdHER2DC vaccine and FDA-approved drugs pembrolizumab and lenvatinib.

The study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this combination therapy in controlling endometrial cancer, which affects over 65,000 women annually in the U.S. and has treatment options after second-line therapy. The AdHER2DC vaccine targets the HER2 protein, elevated in 30% of endometrial cancer cases. The trial is expected to be completed in 2026 and represents a potential breakthrough in immunotherapy for gynecological cancers.
