Five years ago, Ward Thrasher was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer. In December 2022 he was the first person in the world to be given Dragonfly’s EGFR TriNKET. It’s the fifth time Mr. Thrasher has participated in a clinical trial; he received the lowest starting dose of our EGFR-targeting TriNKET, and is experiencing good quality of life, no side effects, and some tumor shrinkage. Our hope for Mr. Thrasher and other patients on our EGFR trial as we approach our targeted dose is to see ever-increasing patient benefits. We admire and thank patients like Mr. Thrasher for their courage in participating in clinical trials critical to advancing life-saving therapies. https://lnkd.in/eNzf7jHt
