Corbus Pharmaceuticals shares fell about 9.6% pre-market after the release of updated phase‑1/2 data on CRB‑701. In squamous cell carcinomas of the oropharynx, CRB‑701 (3.6 mg/kg) showed a confirmed ORR of 42.9%, median duration of response 6.3 months and median PFS of 5.6 months; in cervical cancer the ORR was 34.4%, duration of response 8.0 months and PFS 4.3 months. The analysis (safety population n=317) showed an acceptable safety profile with 2.8% treatment‑related discontinuations and a planned start of a registration‑enabling randomized phase study (250 patients) in summer 2026 after broad alignment with the FDA. » Plus sur de.investing.com
