FRANKFURT, Sept 14 (Reuters) – BioNTech said on Monday that a late-stage trial showed its drug candidate gotistobart led to a clinically meaningful overall survival benefit in a certain form of lung cancer compared with standard treatment.
It added that results from the PRESERVE-003 Phase 3 clinical trial involved patients with squamous non-small cell lung cancer whose disease had progressed despite prior immunotherapy and chemotherapy.
Gotistobart nearly doubled survival compared with standard-of-care chemotherapy, the biotech firm said.
