The trial included expansion groups for microsatellite stable-colorectal cancer, or MSS CRC, recurrent platinum refractory/resistant ovarian, sarcoma, and PD-(L)1 relapsed/refractory non-small cell lung cancer, or NSCLC, the company said.
Data show that overall response rates ranged from 22% in MSS-CRC to 60% in PD-(L)1 refractory NSCLC and that botensilimab was well tolerated during the study, the company said.
Agenus also said that it has started phase 2 trials of botensilimab in advanced MSS-CRC and advanced melanoma.
The company's shares rose nearly 18% in recent trading activity.
