Heat Biologics' shares closed up 6.54% on Tuesday with nearly 5.3 million shares traded. It was yesterday that the biopharma company revealed that it had been granted a Type C meeting with the FDA. The meeting is to discuss the registrational pathway for Heat Biologics' non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) trial with HS-110 in combination with Bristol Myers-Squibb's Opdivo® based upon the company's maturing Phase 2 data. CEO Jeff Wolf commented, "We are looking forward to discussing our proposed HS-110 registrational pathway and development plan for the treatment of advanced NSCLC. We are encouraged by the positive safety and efficacy signals that have been previously reported, which support the hypothesis that tumor-specific T-cell activation enhances the clinical activity of checkpoint inhibitor therapy. We are adapting to the changing landscape of cancer immunotherapy by incorporating novel combinations, and very much look forward to progressing our study."
