In context
“vance into Phase III trials as quickly as possible. We also continue to augment our solid tumor pipeline through investments in external innovation, including one with Castro Therapeutics, we recently began a Phase I study to evaluate a [indiscernible] inhibitor in advanced solid tumors harboring KRAS mutations. This next-generation inhibitor has the potential to provide an improved efficacy and safety profile based on increased potency and specificity against the most relevant KRAS mutations, while sparing H and NRAS [indiscernible]. Our strategy is to combine this pan KRAS inhibitor with Temab-A in pancreatic, lung and colorectal cancers. In hematologic oncology, our Phase III trial evaluating monotherapy [indiscernible] in third-line plus multiple myeloma is tracking ahead of schedule. We anticipate a response rate readout in the third quarter with potential to also see an interim analysis on progression-free survival. If this interim analysis is positive, regulatory submissions would occur later this year. Progress continues in earlier lines of therapy as well. The increasing use of anti-CD38 antibodies in earlier treatment setting is driving a need for CD38 free BCMA combinations, particularly those that can provide the convenience of monthly BCMA dosing combined with an oral agent. Plans are underway for a Phase III study evaluating [indiscernible] in combination with [indiscernible] in second line plus patients, including those that were exposed or refractory to a CD38 antibody or who lost response to a BCMA, CAR-T or ADC. Moving to other areas of our pipeline. In aesthetics, the FDA issued a complete response letter for our [indiscernible] application related to manufacturing questions. The CRL did”
