Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. and Gritstone Oncology announced that the companies have entered into a clinical trial collaboration to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Gritstone’s personalized neoantigen immunotherapy, GRANITE-001, which comprises sequential delivery of neoantigens to patients within an adenovirus-basedvector (prime) and a self-replicating RNA-based vector (boost), in combination with Opdivo (nivolumab), and Opdivo plus Yervoy (ipilimumab), in patients with advanced solid tumors.
