HONG KONG, Sep. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Akeso, Inc. (9926.HK) ("Akeso" or the "Company") today announced that the first patient has been enrolled in COMPASSION-37 (AK104-311), a global, multicenter Phase III head-to-head trial evaluating cadonilimab, Akeso's first-in-class PD-1/CTLA-4 bispecific antibody, in combination with chemotherapy versus chemotherapy with or without nivolumab as first-line treatment for patients with HER2-negative, previously untreated, unresectable or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction (G/GEJ) adenocarcinoma.
The study is designed to further evaluate the efficacy and safety of cadonilimab as first-line therapy for advanced gastric cancer across geographically and ethnically diverse patient populations worldwide, and to investigate whether dual PD-1/CTLA-4 immune checkpoint blockade can further improve outcomes beyond the current standard of care.
