Sigvotatug Vedotin in Previously Treated Metastatic Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: Topline Results from the Phase 3 SigVie-002 Study

The first patient (FIP) has been dosed in a Phase 1 clinical trial combining IDE849 (also known as SHR-4849), a potential first-in-class delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3)-targeting  Topoisomerase I (Topo-I-) payload antibody drug conjugate (ADC), with IDE161, a potential first-in-class poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) inhibitor. Both drugs are being developed by IDEAYA Biosciences. The Phase 1 combination study will be evaluated in DLL3 upregulated solid tumor indications, including small cell lung cancer (SCLC), neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs), and melanoma.
