Q & A Highlights
Q: What are Innate Pharma's expectations for IPH 6,501 in the non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) market, considering the underperformance of recent CD-19 targeted therapies? A: Sonia Quaratino, Chief Medical Officer, explained that while the NHL space is crowded, they expect efficacy from IPH 6,501 based on pre-clinical data. CD20, unlike CD19, is not downregulated in the disease, and the anticipated benign safety profile could differentiate it from other therapies. Currently, the focus is on monotherapy, but combination with standard care is not excluded.
