“This clinical trial sponsored by BeiGene could provide proof of concept clinical data in multiple solid tumor types that are not in our current outlook. In addition, it will be a source of additional data for how sitravatinib combines with a checkpoint inhibitor. The collaboration can provide up to $133 million in milestones to Mirati. We are not making any changes to our outlook at this time.”
