COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - Danish biotechnology firm Genmab said on Wednesday its cancer drug HuMax-CD4 (fully human monoclonal anti-CD4 antibody) used to treat cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) had achieved long lasting results in a phase II trial.
The company said cutaneous T-cell lymphoma patients had shown an average response duration of more than 6.6 months before disease progression.
“These phase II data show the potential to provide a benefit to patients at a variety of disease stages,” said Genmab Chief Executive Lisa N. Drakeman.
