Sino Biopharmaceutical won Chinese approval for a new indication for benmelstobart as maintenance therapy in unresectable stage III NSCLC after chemoradiotherapy. Phase III R-ALPS data showed significantly prolonged progression-free survival versus placebo and a manageable safety profile.
Early results from stage I of the phase 3 PRESERVE-003 trial showed gotistobart improved overall survival versus docetaxel in previously treated metastatic squamous NSCLC. Objective response rate and duration of response also favored gotistobart, while progression-free survival did not differ significantly.
