AstraZeneca Gets CDSCO Panel Nod to Study anticancer drug Volrustomig
New Delhi: The drug major AstraZeneca has got approval from the Subject Expert Committee (SEC) functional under the Central Drug Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) to conduct the Phase III clinical trial of the Monoclonal Antibody Volrustomig.
This came after the drug major AstraZeneca presented Phase III clinical trial protocol No. D798AC00001.
The above study is a global study of Volrustomig plus chemotherapy versus Pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy for Participants With Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer. (eVOLVE-Lung02)
The purpose of the study is to test the efficacy and measure the safety of volrustomig in combination with chemotherapy compared with pembrolizumab in combination with chemotherapy as 1L treatment in participants with mNSCLC in PD-L1 < 50%.
Volrustomig is a bispecific antibody that targets programmed death 1 (PD-1) and cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4). This dual-targeting bispecific antibody has the potential to enhance the therapeutic benefit and decrease the risk of toxicity which is typically associated with CTLA-4 inhibitors.
