Substantiation

Er is enkel een inidrecte vergelijking met avelumab mogelijk. De PODIUM 201 trial liet een ORR van 52% zien voor retifanlimab. Avelumab liet een ORR van 40% zien. Daarnaast was er een complete respons % 18.5 (retifanlimab) versus16,4 (avelumab). Dit ging om chemo-naïeve MCC patienten. Het bijwerkingenprofiel van retifanlimab is vergelijkbaar met andere anti PD (L)-1's. Een voordeel is daarnaast dat retifanlimab minder frequent toegediend hoeft te worden.
