“We believe the FDA warning against CPI usage in the first-line setting last month, and the long DOR by CPI treatment in the second-line setting presented at ASCO this weekend, may result in a delay in EV-201 trial enrollment and primary study completion initially planned in 2020. Last month, the FDA issued a warning against single-agent checkpoint inhibition for frontline PDL1-low patients, based on a recent data monitoring committee (DMC) assessment for the phase 3 KEYNOTE-361 study (pembrolizumab, Merck, MRK; not rated) and the phase 3 IMvigor130 study (atezolizumab, Genentech, DNA; not rated) results.”
