 study to evaluate a combination therapy of IO102 and KEYTRUDA®. We sponsored the clinical trial and MSDIG provided KEYTRUDA® to be used in the clinical trial free of charge. We and MSDIG were responsible for our own internal costs and expenses to support the study and we bore all other costs associated with conducting the study, including costs of providing IO102 for use in the study. The rights to the data from the clinical trial were shared by us and MSDIG and we maintain global commercial rights to IO102.  In September 2021, we entered into a clinical collaboration with MSDIG and MSD International Business GmbH (“MSDIB”), another affiliate of Merck (collectively, “MSD”) to evaluate IO102-IO103 in combination with KEYTRUDA® versus KEYTRUDA® alone in treatment of patients with metastatic (advanced) melanoma. Under the terms of the collaboration with MSD, we are conducting an international Phase 3 study to evaluate a combination therapy of IO102-IO103 and KEYTRUDA®. We are the sponsor of the clinical trial and MSD is providing KEYTRUDA® to be used in the clinical trial free of charge. We and MSD are responsible for our own internal costs and expenses to support the study and bear all other costs associated with conducting the study, including costs of providing IO102-IO103 for use in the study. The rights to the data from the clinical trial are shared by us and MSD and we maintain global commercial rights to IO102-IO103.  In December 2021, we entered into a clinical collaboration with MSD to evaluate IO102-IO103 in combination with KEYTRUDA® in previously untreated patients with three different tumor types— metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”), squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (“SCCHN”), and urothelial bladder cancer (“UBC”). Under the terms of the collaboration with MSD, we are conducting an international Phase 2 study to evaluate a combination therapy of IO102-IO103 and KEYTRUDA®. We are the sponsor of the clinical trial and MSD is providing KEYTRUDA® to be used in the clinical trial free of charge. We and MSD are responsible for our own internal costs and expenses to support the study and we bear all other costs associated with conducting the study, including costs of providing IO102-IO103 for use in the study.
