Researchers at the Tisch Cancer Institute at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have now identified a new treatment that promises to help cancer patients with bone marrow transplants manage side effects better than current standard therapies, making the treatment more effective and safer.
Research suggests that gender-related differences in lung cancer survival are largely determined by known prognostic factors, suggesting an opportunity to explore gender differences in treatment preference, choice and accessibility.
According to researchers at the Tisch Cancer Institute at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, a new treatment that helps the immune system kill multiple myeloma cancer cells has benefited up to 73% of patients in 2 clinical trials!
Recently, the European Commission has approved cemiplimab-rwlc (Libtayo), manufactured by US-based Regeneron, as a monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer whose disease has progressed during or after platinum-containing chemotherapy. The results of the trial showed that this therapy significantly improved patient survival and had a good safety profile.
The US FDA has approved a new leukaemia drug, Olutasidenib, which has been shown to be effective and has a controlled safety profile, resulting in the complete disappearance of cancer cells in 35% of patients enrolled, with efficacy lasting up to 25.9 months.
According to an announcement from Caribou Biosciences, the FDA has granted advanced therapy designation in regenerative medicine for the cutting-edge CAR-T therapy CB-010 for the treatment of relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma and fast track designation for the treatment of relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
The trial is testing the effectiveness of two chemotherapy drugs, oxaliplatin and gemcitabine, in combination with radiotherapy, an approach that has been used to treat other aggressive tumours
According to data from an ongoing Phase I/Ib clinical trial (NCT04374877), an innovative IL-27 inhibitor called SRF388 has shown promising results in the treatment of locally advanced or advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which undoubtedly brings new hope for the treatment of lung cancer patients in general!
Recently, a study for the treatment of advanced EGFR-mutated and c-MET-positive lung cancer showed good results with the cutting-edge ADC drug teliso-V in combination with the EGFR generation-targeted drug troche (i.e. erlotinib).
As medicine continues to advance, there are many good drugs and options to fight cancer. Just recently, a study showed that the NALIRIFOX regimen significantly improved the overall survival of patients with advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma who had not received previous treatment.
