• First study of agenT-797, botensilimab (BOT) and balstilimab (BAL) in gastroesophageal cancer shows disease control rate (DCR) in 77% of patients and long-term survival beyond 20 months in a subset of patients
  • Induction strategy linked to improvement in PFS (HR 0.19; p=0,015) and survival rates at 12 and 18 months supported by evidence of immune activation and tumor immune reprogramming
