edit

A phase II THIO-101 clinical trial of THIO sequenced with cemiplimab to treat advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The trial is a multicentre, open-label, dose-finding trial designed to assess anti-tumour activity followed by PD-L1 inhibition. The study population was patients with advanced NSCLC who did not respond or developed resistance to first-line treatments using another checkpoint inhibitor. The trial's primary objectives are to assess tolerability, safety, and clinical efficacy using overall response rate (ORR) as the primary endpoint.[5]
