$ANABPress releaseOct 19, 2026, 2:18 PM ETRead the release

GSK received FDA approval for Jemperli (dostarlimab) as the first and only immunotherapy for adults with MSI-H/dMMR locally advanced rectal cancer -- a new indication for the antibody discovered by AnaptysBio. AnaptysBio holds royalty rights to Jemperli, so each approval expands the product's addressable market and ANAB's future royalty stream, even though GSK books the sales.
