WOBURN, Mass., May 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Replimune Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: REPL), a clinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering the development of novel oncolytic immunotherapies, today presented 3-year landmark overall survival data from the IGNYTE clinical trial of RP1 plus nivolumab in patients with anti-PD-1 failed melanoma during an oral session at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology annual meeting.
“The overall survival analysis from IGNYTE shows that nearly half of all treated patients in the study were alive at three years, including 83.5% of responders to RP1 plus nivolumab,” said Kostas Xynos, MD, PhD, MBA, Chief Medical Officer of Replimune. “This represents a durable benefit that is rarely seen in anti-PD-1-failed melanoma, a setting with historically limited treatment options.”
Key findings are detailed below.
Oral Presentation: A 3-year landmark overall survival analysis of RP1 plus nivolumab in patients with anti-PD-1-failed melanoma from the IGNYTE clinical trial; Date/Time: May 30, 2026, 5:30 PM CDT; Location: E451; Abstract: 9518; Presenter: Michael Wong, MD, PhD
RP1 (vusolimogene oderparepvec) plus nivolumab achieved a median overall survival (mOS) of 32.9 months in patients with anti–PD-1–failed advanced melanoma, a population with limited treatment options.
At 3 years, 47.8% of all treated patients remained alive, rising to 83.5% among responders, underscoring the depth and durability of the treatment’s benefit.
The objective response rate (ORR) was 33.6%, with a median duration of response (DOR) of 24.8 months; 44.8% of responders maintained their response at 3 years.
Meaningful survival benefit was observed across all key patient subgroups, including those with varying disease stage, PD-L1 expression status, prior anti–CTLA-4 therapy, and primary or secondary anti–PD-1 resistance.
The combination continued to demonstrate a favorable and manageable safety profile over long-term follow-up, with predominantly Grade 1–2 constitutional side effects, no Grade 5 events, and no new safety signals identified.
