The PR headline is a false implication:

“4:13a ET 9/10/2022 - Globe Newswire
Adagene Presents Interim Monotherapy Data at ESMO 2022 Showing Compelling Safety, Anti-Tumor Activity and Pharmacokinetics of Masked, Anti-CTLA-4 SAFEbody(R) ADG126 in Patients with Advanced Tumors”

Yes technically a couple of patients had anti-tumor activity, but the headline can easily be misconstrued and read at first glance to infer that all patients had that positive reaction. The headline should be clear, naming the exact number of patients who experienced tumor reduction out of the total number of patients, if they want to claim that a build up of ADG in the tumors is anti-tumor activity then that is different “activity” than tumor reduction, if I paint mayonnaise every day on non-reducing tumors of a patient over the course of 6 months, mayonnaise would also safely show up in trial results accumulating in the area.
