Earlier this week, SELLAS Life Sciences and China-based biopharmaceutical company 3D Medicines Inc. said they have entered into an exclusive license agreement.

SELLAS is slated to present finalized data from the National Cancer Institute-sponsored phase II trial of Nelipepimut-S in combination with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in women with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast, at the 2020 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium on Friday, December 11.
