MENLO PARK, Calif., FOSTER CITY, Calif. and HANGZHOU, China, Sept. 30, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Edison Oncology Holding Corp. (“Edison Oncology”), a company established to develop new therapies targeting the fight against cancer, and Apollomics Inc. (“Apollomics”), an innovative biopharmaceutical company committed to the discovery and development of mono- and combination oncology therapies, reported that the first patient was dosed with EO1001 (APL-122) in a Phase I/IIa clinical trial in patients with advanced solid tumors.
