BI-1206 is a Potential Treatment for non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and Solid Tumors
BioInvent International AB ("BioInvent") (Nasdaq Stockholm: BINV), a biotech company focused on the discovery and development of novel and first-in-class immune-modulatory antibodies for cancer immunotherapy, today announced that it will host a key opinion leader (KOL) webinar on BI-1206, a potential treatment for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and solid tumors, on Friday, December 17, 2021 at 1:00pmET/7:00pmCET.
The webcast will feature KOL Michael Wang, M.D., from the MD Anderson Cancer Center, who will discuss the current treatment landscape and unmet medical need in treating patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL).
BioInvent's management team will provide an update on the ongoing BI-1206 clinical studies for the treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and solid tumors, including an overview of the NHL data presented at ASH on December 11.
BI-1206 is BioInvent's lead drug candidate and is currently being investigated in two trials. One is evaluating the BI-1206 combination with rituximab for the treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma; and the other evaluates BI-1206 in combination with anti-PD1 therapy Keytruda® (pembrolizumab) in solid tumors.
BI-1206 is a monoclonal antibody that selectivity binds to FcγRIIB (CD32B). By blocking FcγRIIB, BI-1206 can recover and enhance the activity of rituximab or other anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies in the treatment of NHL. In addition, BI-1206 has the potential to reduce resistance to PD-1 immune checkpoint blockade, providing a new way to enhance anti-tumor immune responses in patients with solid tumors.

Professional Services Firms Bet Big on AI but Skills Gaps Are Holding Them Back, General Assembly Survey Finds24.3.2026 14:00:00 CET | Press release
Most firms have had to abandon at least one AI initiative due to a lack of skills in the past year NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / March 24, 2026 / Most professional services firms (61%) have had to abandon at least one AI initiative in the past year due to a lack of internal skills, with more than a third (35%) abandoning multiple initiatives, according to new research from General Assembly, the global leader in practical AI skills training and an LHH company. "Professional services firms face a capability paradox," said Ash Khanna, Head of Professional Services at General Assembly. "AI can accelerate output, but it can't replace the judgment that comes from doing the hard work. We're seeing junior talent generate recommendations faster than ever, but struggle to defend the reasoning behind them. Firms must invest in the durable human skills that make AI output credible and defensible. Upskilling can't be an afterthought; it has to be as central to a firm's AI strategy as the technol
