Antoni Ribas, MD, PhD, the director of the Tumor Immunology Program Area at UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, discusses preliminary results of an ongoing trial investigating the anti-PD-1 antibody lambrolizumab in patients with advanced melanoma.
Clinically meaningful activity was observed in a substantial number of patients in the trial, Ribas explains. The overall response rate by RECIST criteria was 38% with 90% of patients experiencing durable responses. At the highest dose, response was 52%.
