The FDA granted fast track designation to cesalatamig, a PD-1/VEGF bispecific antibody by OncoC4, for treating non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has progressed after PD-(L)1 immunotherapy and platinum-based chemotherapy. This supports expedited development and phase 3 trials in the US and China.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Biotech, and 2 sources have reported it between 16 Sep 2026 and 17 Sep 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You can accelerate plans in immuno-oncology by factoring in FDA fast track to shorten cesalatamig's market entry. For biotech founders, this clearance signals a clearer pathway to speed clinical development in refractory lung cancer.
