Showing A1 (chunk 2 of 2): th single agent anti-PD1 antibody.
Moreover, the combination of PORT-7 and anti-PD1 was superior to treatment with either anti-PD1 or PORT-7 alone.
Immunohistochemistry of the tumors revealed the formation of tertiary lymphoid structures in the mice receiving the combination. This indication of a favorable immune response was accompanied by increases in immune effector cells in mice treated with the combination.
Mesothelioma is an aggressive cancer with limited treatment options in need of novel approaches to overcome immune resistance. Portage is making preparations to commence a first-in-human clinical trial with PORT-7.

BRIEF_SUMMARY[Portage Biotech has shown explosive growth in stock price over recent months, with performance metrics indicating over a 100% increase in both short- and mid-term. Despite this, the company's high short float suggests significant market skepticism, possibly due to negative ROI and ROE figures and no reported Y/Y sales growth. High insider ownership contrasts with minimal institutional backing, suggesting deep insider commitment albeit with limited external confidence.]
