Promising new antibodies

      Hi all,

      I have heard about new antibodies that could probably become the next generation after Anti-Pd1. Phase 1 trials seem to be underway or starting.

      Anti-GITR
      http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01239134?term=gitr&rank=2

      Anti-LAG3:
      http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01968109?term=anti+lag3&rank=2

      Q: Is there anybody who knows more about that topic than I do? Anybody in the Anti-GITR trial or having those trials on their list as promising options?

      Just asking as it seems to me that everybody still is in Anti-PD1 fever which is great but still I am hoping that reponse and survival rates will improve with every new generation of antibodies and their combinations!

          Also noticed that  Cellidex stock jumped 3 dollars Wednesday after it announced a partnership with BMS to phase 1/2 test  CDX 1127- a new promising molecule together with Yervoy to treat melanoma and other cancers.. Also , there seemed so much promise for IDO inhibitors, I think INCYTE was the leader on this pipeline drug…hopefully when the dust clears at ASCO the future generation drugs will  be somewhat  better defined.
