$GMABPress releaseOct 28, 2026, 9:40 AM ETRead the release

Genmab's Phase 3 LiGeR-HN1 trial of petosemtamab plus pembrolizumab in first-line PD-L1+ recurrent/metastatic head and neck cancer met both primary endpoints at the first interim analysis. The combination cut the risk of death by 50% (OS HR 0.50, p<0.0001) and improved ORR (odds ratio 3.17) versus pembrolizumab alone, regardless of HPV status, with no new safety signals. Genmab plans to engage global regulatory authorities and will submit full results for presentation at a future medical meeting; it will host an investor update at 5:00 p.m.
