Viralytics — Looking towards pivotal Cavatak combo studies

Viralytics continues to report impressive preliminary data for Cavatak in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), whether administered intravenously (iv) or by intra-tumoural injection.

It has announced plans to initiate four Phase I studies in additional indications and has commenced planning for a potential pivotal study of Cavatak plus Yervoy in melanoma patients who had failed prior single-agent, anti-PD1 ICI therapy, a serious unmet medical need.
