Main explanation of the "short" report is absence of the effect-Lymphocyte level increase after NK-214 v IL-2 , 30-50% for NK-214 versus +200% peak for IL-2. Hoover, from ASCO presentation, SL51/52 ( nektar.com ) paint different picture for NK-214/Nivo combination. Significant difference in blood proTeffect v proTreg cell count, favoring CD8+ proTcells.

There is visible improvement in NK214 performance (mechanistically) when it is combined with anti-PD1 therapy, most notably in cancer biopsy markers.

In all, "short" have good point relative to current NK-214 results. Only way to oppose short hypothesis is real world bio-marker data and tumor response results.

At SITC NKTR will present full melanoma cohort, so it may be turning point. Have no idea what to expect,.... too many Qs from disappointing ASCO presentations.
