Abstract generation in progress

Incyte has announced that the European Commission (EC) has approved Zynyz (retifanlimab) in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel for the first-line treatment of advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal (SCAC). This approval is based on results from the Phase 3 POD1UM-303/InterAACT2 trial, which showed a statistically significant improvement in progression-free survival for patients receiving the Zynyz combination compared to chemotherapy alone. Zynyz is the first PD-1 immunotherapy approved in Europe for this indication in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy.
