The results of the Phase III portion of the study will be presented on October 17 at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) annual meeting in Berlin, Germany.

The combination therapy of fruquintinib and sintilimab has been conditionally approved in China for patients with advanced mismatch repair proficient (pMMR) endometrial cancer who have failed previous systemic anti-tumor therapy and are unsuitable for curative surgical treatment or radical radiotherapy
