About Bemcentinib
Bemcentinib is a potentially first-in-class, potent and highly selective
inhibitor of the tyrosine kinase AXL. Extensive studies confirm the ability to
combine bemcentinib with immune checkpoint inhibitors, chemotherapies and
targeted therapies with the goal of improving a patient's immune response and
delaying the development of chemoresistance. Bemcentinib is currently being
investigated in combination with immune checkpoint inhibition and chemotherapy
in first line NSCLC patients harboring mutations in the STK11 gene, a known
prognostic factor of poor response to existing therapies.
