This study is an open-label, 2-part, Phase 2, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic profiles of botensilimab as monotherapy and in combination with balstilimab in participants with advanced cutaneous melanoma refractory to checkpoint inhibitor therapy.
Phase 2 trials begin testing efficacy in a larger patient group (100–300). This is often where biotech binary events occur — positive Phase 2 data can significantly advance a company's pipeline narrative, while failures can be terminal for a program.
Enrollment is complete. The trial is in its follow-up or data collection phase — a readout may occur on or near the primary completion date.
Agenus Inc (AGEN) is the sponsoring company for this trial. BiotechSign currently grades this company C (59/100) based on composite catalyst signals across its full pipeline. This trial is one data point in that overall catalyst picture.
