Novartis Ph1b PORTIA Results Presented at Virtual AACR II
Here is a brief preview of this blast: On Monday, June 23, Novartis presented (Ulrich Jaeger et al, June 2020) updated clinical data from the Kymriah + pembrolizumab (pembro, a PD-1 inhibitor) Ph1 PORTIA study in ≥3L R/R DLBCL. Below, FENIX provides thoughts on the significance of this data, and particularly how it compares to recent CAR-T + checkpoint inhibitor data from Gilead (Yescarta), BMS (Liso-cel), and Autolus (AUTO3).
