Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University. "Pelareorep and pembrolizumab added to chemotherapy was safe and well-tolerated and demonstrated encouraging efficacy results," said Dr. Mahalingam. "This study also highlighted the potential utility of several pre-treatment and on-treatment biomarkers for pelareorep therapy, which are currently being explored in our ongoing phase two study."
