AI summary
What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting
Nearly four years of follow-up on Libtayo (cemiplimab) shows a further reduction in death risk for patients initially treated with the drug, even as 88% of placebo patients crossover after recurrence. The durability of the survival benefit could bolster Regeneron's immuno-oncology strategy and support valuation of the Libtayo franchise, though crossovers complicate the interpretation of OS advantage.
