Ibrutinib Delivers 10-Year Survival Benefit and Durable Disease Control in High-Risk CLL

Ten-year follow-up data from the phase 2 NCT01500733 trial showed that continuous treatment with Ibrutinib provides long-term disease control for patients with high-risk chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), including those with TP53 abnormalities. Among 84 patients, median progression-free survival reached 7.2 years, while median overall survival was not yet reached. The 10-year progression-free survival rate was […]

Nadunolimab Combination Shows Early Complete Remissions in High-Risk MDS

An ongoing phase 1b/2a clinical trial is showing encouraging early results for Nadunolimab combined with azacitidine in patients with high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), and with azacitidine plus Venetoclax in relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The investigator-initiated study, conducted at MD Anderson Cancer Center, has completed its phase 1b dose-escalation stage without any dose-limiting

Lutetium Lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetan Improves PSA Responses in Metastatic Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer in Phase 3 Trial

The phase 3 PSMAddition trial showed that adding Lutetium Lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetan to standard androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) plus an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) significantly improved prostate-specific antigen (PSA) responses in patients with PSMA-positive metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). The study included 1,144 patients, most with high tumor burden and bone metastases. Researchers previously

Mogamulizumab-kpkc Shows Strong Blood Response in Advanced CTCL

Treatment for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is increasingly tailored to disease stage and location. Early-stage skin-only disease is often treated with phototherapy, while advanced disease may require systemic therapies such as romidepsin, pralatrexate, or Brentuximab vedotin. A key option for advanced CTCL is Mogamulizumab-kpkc, particularly for patients with high blood involvement or Sezary syndrome. In

Long-Term Japanese Study Confirms Safety and Effectiveness of Darbepoetin Alfa in MDS Anemia

A large real-world study in Japan has confirmed the long-term safety and effectiveness of Darbepoetin Alfa for treating anemia in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). The 5-year post-marketing surveillance study followed 1,834 patients across 460 medical centers, providing much broader evidence than the original 2014 approval trial, which included only 52 patients. Researchers found that

New Immunotherapy and Targeted Drug Strategies Transform Bladder Cancer Treatment

Muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) treatment is undergoing major changes after nearly two decades of limited progress. Traditional treatment relied on surgery or radiation combined with cisplatin-based chemotherapy, but newer immunotherapies and targeted drugs are improving outcomes and reshaping care. Clinical trials have shown strong benefits from immune checkpoint inhibitors such as Nivolumab, Pembrolizumab, and Durvalumab.

EHMT2 inhibition Restores Chemotherapy Sensitivity in Colorectal Cancer by Reversing 5-FU Resistance

A study published in Nature has identified a key epigenetic mechanism that drives resistance to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in colorectal cancer. Researchers found that increased activity of the enzyme EHMT2 leads to suppression of a tumor-suppressor gene called PPM1B, allowing cancer cells to survive chemotherapy and continue growing. The study showed that EHMT2 modifies gene expression

Sacituzumab Tirumotecan Improves Survival in Advanced Endometrial Cancer Phase 3 Trial

The global phase 3 TroFuse-005 trial evaluated Sacituzumab Tirumotecan in 776 patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer or carcinosarcoma whose disease had progressed after platinum-based chemotherapy and anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy. The study compared the drug with physician’s choice chemotherapy, including doxorubicin or paclitaxel. Researchers reported that Sacituzumab Tirumotecan significantly improved both overall survival and progression-free

Enzalutamide Plus Radium-223 Shows Delayed Survival Benefit in mCRPC Trial

An analysis of reconstructed individual patient data from the phase 3 EORTC 1333/PEACE-3 trial found that combining Enzalutamide with Radium-223 produced a delayed but meaningful long-term survival benefit in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Researchers reported that the combination showed little survival advantage during the first 18 months of active treatment, but benefits

Annamycin Combination Shows Encouraging Remission Rates in Relapsed AML Trial

Blinded results from Part A of the phase 2b/3 MIRACLE trial showed encouraging activity for Annamycin combined with Cytarabine in patients with relapsed or refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia receiving second-line treatment. The study compared the combination with cytarabine plus placebo in patients aged 18 to 80. Among 45 evaluable patients, the pooled composite complete remission
