Executive Summary
YM BioSciences' experimental EGFR-targeted humanised monoclonal antibody drug nimotuzumab (YMB1000-015) will not progress to a pivotal trial in colorectal cancer at this time, but the Canadian company instead proposes to advance it into two other pivotal trials this year, including one in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which it believes could result in faster marketing approval.
