Innovent announced that it has entered into a clinical trial collaboration and supply agreement with Merck for a combination therapy of IBI351 (GFH925) with cetuximab (ERBITUX®). Innovent says the therapy is a potential treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) which will be tested in a phase Ib clinical trial in Chinese patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC harbouring KRASG12C mutation.
In October last year, Merck entered a clinical trial collaboration with Jacobio Pharma to investigate a combination therapy of JAB-21822 (KRAS G12C inhibitor) with ERBITUX® to treat KRAS G12C-mutated colorectal cancer.
