Material Changes and Clinical Results
The primary material event is the successful completion of the Phase 3 SIERRA trial for Iomab-B. Key clinical outcomes include:

- Overall Survival (OS): Patients receiving Iomab-B showed a 100% increase in 1-year OS and median OS compared to the control arm. Note: Statistics are confounded by the crossover arm design.
- Long-term Outcomes: Patients achieving 6-month dCR demonstrated 92% 1-year OS and 60% 2-year OS.
