Dr. Gordon will present data from three rare cases of chemotherapy-resistant advanced soft tissue sarcomas (STS) which achieved durable partial responses and disease control with SNK01 plus an immune checkpoint inhibitor. NKGen believes the data from these three cases support the potential combination of SNK01 and an immune checkpoint inhibitor in controlling tumor growth with manageable toxicity.
