75% disease control achieved with NUC-7738 + pembrolizumab in metastatic melanoma resistant to PD-1 therapies, surpassing typical progression-free survival.

NuCana plc reported positive results from its Phase 2 NuTide:701 study at the ESMO Congress, showing that NUC-7738 combined with pembrolizumab achieved disease control in 75% of patients with metastatic melanoma resistant to prior PD-1 therapies. Notably, seven patients had over five months of progression-free survival, surpassing the typical 2-3 months seen with current treatments. The combination also demonstrated a favorable safety profile. NuCana plans to outline future development for NUC-7738 soon.
