Here's the Lynch syndrome paper from NCI.
The trial is supported by the Cancer Prevention—Clinical Trials Network (CP-CTNet), a grant-funded network from the National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) Division of Cancer Prevention (DCP) that performs early-phase cancer prevention clinical trials. This trial represents the first cross-network trial performed by all five grant recipients and their affiliated organizations, at a total of 16 study sites.
As stated by the authors:
"Our trial employs a vaccination strategy that addresses common reasons for vaccine failure by targeting multiple antigens, using a proven adenoviral delivery system, and studying an immune-competent high-risk population without active cancer."

Emerging NSCLC data are adding to the growing evidence that ANKTIVA and the broader $IBRX immune-restoration platform may be much more than a niche bladder cancer story.
Recent NSCLC data showed:
• Objective response rate improved to 56% vs 33% • Median overall survival improved to 34.7 months vs 20.2 months • Hazard ratio around 0.5 • No major increase in adverse events
Even more interesting, the mechanism may not simply be “tumor killing,” but immune restoration itself:
• reversal of lymphopenia • restoration of NK/T-cell activity • broader immune reactivation
ASCO26 data across bladder cancer, GBM, and NSCLC are starting to make the “one indication story” look increasingly outdated.
The emerging thesis may be far bigger:
not just oncology, but immune restoration across multiple disease settings involving immune dysfunction.
Great news for cancer patients and long-term $IBRX investors.
Thank you @DrPatrick and the entire ImmunityBio team for pushing this science forward.

📢 𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐈𝐍: $IBRX ImmunityBio Presents Economic Analysis Favoring 𝐀𝐍𝐊𝐓𝐈𝐕𝐀 + BCG
👉 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬:
➤ ImmunityBio presented new 𝐈𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐑 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 health economic analysis data.
➤ 𝐀𝐍𝐊𝐓𝐈𝐕𝐀 + BCG showed lower costs versus 𝐓𝐀𝐑-𝟐𝟎𝟎 treatment.
➤ Study focused on 𝐁𝐂𝐆-𝐮𝐧𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer patients.
➤ Cost savings per cystectomy avoided reached up to $𝟏𝟓𝟏,𝟒𝟑𝟖 at year two.
➤ Analysis showed savings per complete responder exceeding $𝟑𝟏𝟑,𝟕𝟕𝟓 at year one.
➤ Complete response rates were 𝟒𝟗.𝟔% for ANKTIVA versus 𝟒𝟓.𝟗% for TAR-200.
➤ Findings based on Medicare-focused 𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐭-𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 modeling over three years.
$IBRX Breaking at #ASCO26: Anktiva + BCG shows 47% complete response at 12 months vs 19% for Keytruda in BCG-unresponsive bladder cancer (nearly 3x better) in matched analysis.
Responses lasted ~10 months longer with a favorable safety trend.
Big win for Anktiva+BCG. Big hope for bladder cancer patients. 👍👍
#IBRX #Anktiva #ASCO26 #BladderCancer
$IBRX at #ASCO26:
First complete response in recurrent GBM with chemo-free regimen (NAI + PD-L1 t-haNK + bev).
Median OS not reached (6.75 mo f/u). No CRS/ICANS.
Big hope for brain cancer. 👍👍

The market is still valuing $IBRX as if it only treats a tiny tiny fraction of bladder cancer patients.
But the science is increasingly pointing toward something much bigger:
immune restoration,
NK/T-cell activation,
infectious disease,
severe inflammatory lung injury / ARDS,
immune exhaustion,
solid tumors,
and potentially broader applications over time.
Most people still see $IBRX as a niche bladder cancer stock.
Dr. PSS appears to be building an immune-platform company.
That disconnect may not last forever.
Congratulations to @DrPatrick, the entire @ImmunityBio team, patients, advocates, and long-term $IBRX investors.
After months of short-driven fear around a potential RTF, FDA has officially ACCEPTED the ANKTIVA + BCG label expansion sBLA and assigned a Jan. 6, 2027 PDUFA date.
A major regulatory milestone and an important step toward expanding treatment options for patients with papillary NMIBC. Now the focus shifts to approval.
Onward and upward.

Very interesting signal for $IBRX from the FDA bladder cancer workshop.
Thought leaders repeatedly emphasized:
• Papillary + CIS are biologically linked
• CIS is frequently missed in practice
• Doctors already treat papillary-only patients with CIS-approved therapies off-label
Most encouraging moment: FDA asking whether high-grade BCG-unresponsive NMIBC should be viewed as one disease entity rather than compartmentalized indications.
Hard not to see the relevance to ANKTIVA’s pending sBLA.
$IBRX , the ASCO 2026 embargo lifts Thursday, May 21, at 5:00 PM ET. This is the critical catalyst to prove Anktiva is a global solid-tumor platform:
Lung (QUILT-3.055): Watch for updated Median Overall Survival in NSCLC. Sustaining or exceeding the 21.1-month baseline triggers an immediate commercial re-rating.
GBM (QUILT-3.078): Updates on Anktiva + haNK crossing the blood-brain barrier. Survival past 15 months in recurrent glioblastoma cements neuro-oncology leadership.
HPV (IBRX-042): Look for "Total Viral Clearance" and CR rates. Reversing viral malignancies is a key focus for the newly restructured FDA leadership. Breast (QUILT-3.064): Focus on t-haNK combos targeting metastatic "Brachyury" in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer.
This four-pillar data drop represents the transition of ImmunityBio from a localized urology play to a diversified oncology giant.
The post details the ongoing US BCG shortage since 2012, controlled by Merck, which prevents patients with recurrent bladder cancer from accessing full FDA-approved $IBRX ANKTIVA therapy that requires BCG pairing, despite BCG being a decades-old immunotherapy standard.
ImmunityBio announced exclusive US rights to Japan’s Tokyo-172 BCG strain on May 16, 2026, supported by NCI-funded SWOG S1602 Phase 3 trial data showing non-inferior high-grade recurrence-free survival (64% vs 58% at 5 years) to the approved strain.
The deal removes a key supply barrier for ANKTIVA’s current use and planned first-line expansion, though FDA filing, data agreements, and approval remain pending steps.
Hopefully FDA will release the chokehold and let thousands of patients get access to the much needed BCG new strain.
