T-DXd Regimen Improves pCR in Early HER2+ Breast Cancer
T-DXd followed by THP improved pCR in high-risk, early-stage HER2+ breast cancer in the phase 3 DESTINY-Breast11 trial.
FDA Approves First and Only Systemic Therapy for NRG1+ Lung, Pancreatic Cancers
Zenocutuzumab received accelerated approval from the FDA for the agent to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) harboring an NRG1 gene fusion.
Disease Progression May Be More Common in Lower-Risk Myelofibrosis
Most patients with lower-risk myelofibrosis, over a 4-year period, experienced disease progression, as demonstrated by the prospective MOST study.
Apalutamide/ADT Confers 100% Recurrence-Free Survival in High-Risk Prostate Cancer
Patients with high-risk prostate cancer treated with apalutamide with androgen deprivation therapy following radical prostatectomy had a recurrence-free survival rate of 100% after 2 years.
Pembrolizumab/Chemo Misses DFS Primary End Point in Endometrial Cancer
Pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy did not improve disease-free survival in patients with newly diagnosed, high-risk endometrial cancer, missing the primary end point of the phase 3 KEYNOTE-B21 study.
Acalabrutinib Plus Chemoimmunotherapy Improves PFS in Mantle Cell Lymphoma
Patients with untreated mantle cell lymphoma treated with acalabrutinib plus bendamustine and rituximab had significant improvements in progression-free survival compared with bendamustine and rituximab alone.
Nadofaragene Firadenovec Produces Sustained, Durable Responses in NMIBC
Patients with high-risk BCG-unresponsive non-muscle invasive bladder cancer treated with nadofaragene firadenovec experienced lasting responses to the therapy for up to 3 years.
Tovorafenib Gets Accelerated Approval for Pediatric Low-Grade Glioma
The FDA approved tovorafenib for certain patients with relapsed or refractory pediatric low-grade glioma.
