Genmab's Phase 3 LiGeR-HN1 trial met both co-primary endpoints at the first interim analysis, with petosemtamab plus pembrolizumab cutting the risk of death by 50% (OS HR 0.50, p<0.0001) in first-line PD-L1+ recurrent/metastatic head and neck cancer. Objective response rate also improved significantly (odds ratio 3.17, p<0.0001), regardless of HPV status, and no new safety signals were identified.
