As quoted in the press release:

“In the third quarter of 2018, we announced positive interim safety and efficacy data from our ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trial of CK-101, a third-generation EGFR inhibitor being evaluated in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which was a significant milestone for the company,” said James F. Oliviero, President and Chief Executive Officer of Checkpoint. “Our plans remain on-track for the rest of the year as we continue enrollment to establish the optimal dose of CK-101, after which we plan to initiate a Phase 3 trial in 2019 in treatment-naïve EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC patients. We also look forward to reporting early next year interim data from the expansion cohort phase of our Phase 1 clinical trial of CK-301, a fully human anti-PD-L1 antibody, in selected recurrent or metastatic cancers.”
