“The second quarter was marked by significant progress as we reported our first set of clinical data from the Phase 1 arms of our ICONIC study, showing JTX-2011 to be well-tolerated in both the monotherapy setting and in combination with nivolumab. I am pleased to announce today that the combination portion of our Phase 2 study is now underway.
