Patients not presenting any of the previous events will be censored at the date of last assessment. RFS will be summarized using the Kaplan-Meier method and displayed graphically where appropriate. The Cox proportional hazards model will be fitted to compute the hazard ratios on potential stratified groups if applicable. RFS will be calculated as median / mean (95% CI) for each cohort and RFS rate for different timepoints as applicable.The primary endpoint will be assessed locally and centrally. Central assessment will be prioritized for the primary endpoint.

PrednisoneDRUGPrednisone is administered orally and taken about the same time each day. Prednisone will be pulsed for Cycles 1-6 and continued to be pulsed or dose reduced for Cycles 7+. For Cycles 1-6: 40 mg dose will be administered the day before each cycle (Day -1 or Day 21) and Days 1-3, 20mg dose Days 4-6, and 10mg dose Days 7-20. For Cycles 7+: Dose will be administered pulsed as Cycles 1-6 or 10mg daily
SirolimusDRUGSirolimus will be taken orally once daily at dose prescribed to achieve a goal trough level of 4-6 ng/mL. It should be taken around the same time daily. Sirolimus will be administered daily throughout each cycle.
Cetuximab (EGFR inhibitor)DRUGCetuximab may be administered according to standard of care (SOC).
NeuroBlate® Laser Ablation Laser Interstitial Thermal TherapyDEVICELiTT, or magnetic resource imaging (MRI)-guided laser ablation, is a minimally invasive surgery approved for cytoreductive treatment of brain tumors. It employs a small incision in the scalp and skull, through which a thin laser probe is inserted and guided by MRI imaging to the core of a tumor mass where it delivers hyperthermic ablation from the core to the rim.

Frequently asked questions about Cemiplimab

What is Cemiplimab used for?

Cemiplimab is an investigational oncology drug being studied for epithelial ovarian cancer, advanced malignancies, non-small-cell lung carcinoma, pleural mesotheliomas, cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, and in kidney transplant recipients. It is a small molecule PDCD1 inhibitor being developed by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (REGN).

What does Cemiplimab target?

Cemiplimab targets PDCD1, also known as programmed cell death protein 1, and acts as an inhibitor of this target. By inhibiting PDCD1, the drug is designed to modulate immune responses in oncology settings. This mechanism is being evaluated across multiple cancer types including melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, and pleural mesothelioma.

Who makes Cemiplimab?

Cemiplimab is developed by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company traded on NASDAQ under the ticker REGN. The company is conducting clinical trials of cemiplimab both as a monotherapy and in combination with fianlimab across various oncology indications.

What phase is Cemiplimab in?

Cemiplimab is in Phase 1 clinical development overall, though individual trials range from Phase 2 to Phase 3. A Phase 3 trial in cervical cancer is completed, while active Phase 2 trials are studying the drug in melanoma and clear cell renal cell carcinoma. The drug remains investigational and is not approved.

What clinical trials is Cemiplimab in?

Cemiplimab is being studied in four clinical trials. NCT03257267 is a completed Phase 3 trial in cervical cancer. NCT06190951 is an active Phase 2 trial in melanoma. NCT07223541 is a recruiting Phase 2 trial in clear cell renal cell carcinoma. NCT07234058 is a not-yet-recruiting Phase 2 trial in pleural mesothelioma.

Is Cemiplimab the same as cemiplimab plus fianlimab?

Cemiplimab is also known as cemiplimab plus fianlimab in fixed-dose combination form, and as cemiplimab 350 MG intravenous solution. The drug is studied both alone and combined with fianlimab, depending on the trial. Alternative names include cemiplimab+fianlimab and cemiplimab plus gemcitabine.
