Pantginis wrote:
“We believe, with these initial results, the company has begun to demonstrate the validity of its overall approach in patients and we are excited to follow the upcoming data updates at ASCO and the performance of GEN-009 moving forward. With positive data the company is planning to proceed with Parts B and C which are expected to be run in parallel and, as discussed below, could begin as early as mid-2019 with data expected in mid-2020. We believe that Parts B and C of the study may effectively target a high unmet medical need represented by therapy resistant tumors. Additional data on Part A could be presented at other prominent conferences (we think, possibly ESMO in September 2019).”
