NL-201 Demonstrates Robust Single-Agent Activity in Multiple Tumor Models 1) NL-201 was administered QWx2 when tumors reached ~100mm3. Tumor growth inhibition (TGI) is reported in each graph vs. control. 2) NL-201 treatment inhibited tumor growth in all models: NL-201 significantly inhibited tumor growth in models that are typically refractory to anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitors.
