Preliminary data from a phase I study evaluating the novel antibody-drug conjugate M9140 demonstrated encouraging activity in heavily pretreated patients with advanced colorectal cancer. The study was presented by principal investigator Scott Kopetz, professor of gastrointestinal medical oncology and associate vice president for Translational Integration at MD Anderson, at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting.
In modern oncology, important insights from clinical trials often emerge years after initial publication. As new therapies extend survival and transition more patients into long-term remissions, clinicians and researchers are increasingly looking beyond initial response rates to understand durability, long-term safety, and even the possibility of a cure.
