The results reinforce previous data suggesting COM701 mediated anti-tumor activity in patients typically not responding to immunotherapy.

Key Points: 
  • The results reinforce previous data suggesting COM701 mediated anti-tumor activity in patients typically not responding to immunotherapy.
  • "We were delighted to present at SITC clinical data which reinforces data previously presented, suggesting that COM701 mediated anti-tumor activity in patients typically not responding to immunotherapy", said Anat Cohen-Dayag, Ph.D., President, and CEO of Compugen.
  • In addition, we presented data in metastatic breast cancer, another indication in which patients who typically do not respond to immunotherapy, derived clinical benefit from COM701 combinations."
  • I look forward to the results of the ongoing proof-of-concept study evaluating the combination of COM701, COM902 and pembrolizumab in platinum resistant ovarian cancer patients."

In addition to the data in the abstract, the Friday oral presentation will include new translational data from a number of platinum resistant ovarian cancer patients treated with COM701 monotherapy and from the fully enrolled MSS-CRC COM701 and nivolumab cohort.

Key Points: 
  • In addition to the data in the abstract, the Friday oral presentation will include new translational data from a number of platinum resistant ovarian cancer patients treated with COM701 monotherapy and from the fully enrolled MSS-CRC COM701 and nivolumab cohort.
  • "I believe the data we will present at SITC support the potential of PVRIG to open new possibilities in cancer immunotherapy," said Dr. Eran Ophir.
  • "The translational data are exciting because they support the anti-tumor activity we have shown with COM701 in combination with nivolumab in patients with MSS-CRC typically not responsive to approved checkpoint inhibitors.
  • Peripheral immune modulation was also seen with COM701 alone in a platinum resistant ovarian cancer patient with a partial response."
