A second late-breaking abstract featuring IMLYGIC will be presented in a poster discussion session, highlighting three-year follow-up data of a Phase 2 trial with IMLYGIC in combination with YERVOY^® (ipilimumab) for advanced melanoma.

“The data being presented at ESMO demonstrate how Amgen is advancing the next frontier of innovation in the treatment of cancers,” said David M. Reese, M.D., executive vice president of Research and Development at Amgen. “In addition to the responses seen in non-small cell lung cancer patients with KRAS G12C-mutant tumors, we will report the first responses in advanced colorectal and appendiceal cancers at the upcoming congress.”
