Mural to nemvaleukin plus pembrolizumab in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer
In the pre-specified interim analysis conducted by the independent data monitoring committee, nemvaleukin in combination with pembrolizumab did not achieve a statistically significant improvement in overall survival versus investigator’s choice chemotherapy alone and the company believes the study is highly unlikely to achieve success at the final analysis. Median overall survival was 10.1 months for patients treated with nemvaleukin in combination with pembrolizumab and 9.8 months for patients treated with investigator’s choice chemotherapy (hazard ratio: 0.98). Nemvaleukin has a well characterized and favorable safety profile, both as a monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab, with over 800 patients treated across the broader clinical program. In the interim analysis of ARTISTRY-7, the safety profile was generally consistent with previously reported data. Nemvaleukin is currently being evaluated in a potentially registrational, phase 2 trial, ARTISTRY-6, cohort 2 in mucosal melanoma, with a topline data readout expected in Q2 2025. Preliminary data readouts for less-frequent intravenous dosing of nemvaleukin in patients with cutaneous melanoma are expected in the second quarter of 2025 for cohort 3 of ARTISTRY-6 (monotherapy) and the second half of 2025 for cohort 4 of ARTISTRY-6 (combination therapy), subject to patient enrollment.
