Agenus Inc. (NASDAQ: AGEN) reported earlier this year that it has entered into a clinical collaboration with Nelum Corp. to evaluate the safety and efficacy of zalifrelimab, Agenus' anti-CTLA-4 antibody, in combination with NLM-001, Nelum's small molecule hedgehog inhibitor, and chemotherapy for first-line advanced pancreatic cancer. "This collaboration with Nelum is an exciting next step in our partnership strategy to broaden combinations and indications with our late-stage checkpoint antibodies," said Julie DeSander, Vice President of Business Development and Alliance Management. "Zalifrelimab, our first generation anti-CTLA-4 antibody, shows promising results alone and in combination with balstilimab, our anti-PD-1 antibody, and offers the potential to expand therapeutic benefit in novel combinations."
