“We believe the rationale for the NEO-PV-01 NT-003 study is very interesting and could lead to improved responses. There is scientific evidence that CD40 agonists enhance antigen presentation, and preclinical and clinical work have demonstrating that CTLA-4 antagonism enhances immune responses and increases T cell infiltration into the tumor. The timing of this study is as expected. There is no change to our outlook.”
