ImmunityBio (IBRX) said Monday that it has received five United States patents covering the combination of its IL-15 receptor agonist ANKTIVA with Bacillus Calmette-Guerin, or BCG, to treat cancer.

The patents, which have validity until at least 2035, protect the ANKTIVA plus BCG product, the specific intravesical dosing regimen, the two-vial commercial kit, and methods of treating non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, including BCG-naive disease and bladder cancer, the company said.

The company said that the patents support its pending supplemental biologics license application for BCG-unresponsive papillary-only disease, and to advance a registrational trial evaluating ANKTIVA in combination with BCG compared with BCG alone in BCG-naive non-muscle invasive bladder cancer carcinoma in situ.

Shares of the company were up nearly 4% in Monday's premarket activity.
