What does the STIMULUS program tell us about combination therapy with MBG453 in MDS?

The STIMULUS program represents a number of clinical trials that are evaluating the anti-TIM-3 checkpoint inhibitor, MBG453, for the treatment of myeloid malignancies. Alternative immune checkpoint inhibitors have demonstrated mixed results, and therefore the TIM-3 pathway is being investigated for therapeutic intervention.

In early phase clinical trials, MBG453 combination regimens exhibited promising clinical activity, prompting the further studies that now comprise the STIMULUS program.
