Third Line Patients’ Preliminary Overall Response Rate (ORR) Shows Improvement. MAIA announced updated data from its THIO-101 trial. The trial enrolled patients with Stage 3 or 4 NSCLC who have progressive disease after treatment with checkpoint inhibitor therapy with or without standard of care chemotherapy. These advanced disease patients were treated with the combination of THIO and Libtayo (cemiplimab, an anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor from Regeneron). The data was from the first patients receiving treatment as third-line therapy that reached an evaluation timepoint by January 8, 2024.

ORR Greatly Exceeded Published Studies. New data was from patients who had received the THIO combination as third-line treatment. The overall response rate was 38%, with 3 out of 8 patients showing a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). This compares with response rates of about 6% in published studies.
