First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This expanded access program offers balstilimab, alone or with zalifrelimab, to cancer patients who previously received these drugs in a clinical trial and saw benefit. The goal is to allow continued treatment for those who wish to stay on therapy. Only patients who completed the earlier study and meet eligibility criteria can participate.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

balstilimab (alone or with zalifrelimab)

What this could lead to

If successful, this expanded access program could allow patients who previously responded to these drugs to continue treatment, potentially maintaining disease control.

What could go wrong

This is an expanded access program, not a formal trial, so it does not prove safety or efficacy. Benefits seen in earlier studies may not persist, and side effects from immunotherapy (e.g., immune-related inflammation) remain possible.
