ImmunityBio’s hAd5 T-Cell COVID-19 Vaccine Candidate Shows Complete Protection of Airways in Non-Human Primates

The Pharma Data

The vaccine targeted both the inner nucleocapsid (N) and the outer spike (S) proteins of the virus to maximize the immune response. The study showed this broad immune response led to the complete clearance of the virus in a matter of days after infection of previously-vaccinated primates.

Opdivo (nivolumab) Plus Yervoy (ipilimumab) for the Treatment of Mismatch Repair Deficient or Microsatellite Instability–High Metastatic Colorectal Cancer After Prior Chemotherapy

The Pharma Data

Opdivo is a programmed death-1 (PD-1) immune checkpoint inhibitor that is designed to uniquely harness the body’s own immune system to help restore anti-tumor immune response. By harnessing the body’s own immune system to fight cancer, Opdivo has become an important treatment option across multiple cancers.
