EnteroBiotix Completes Enrollment for Microbiome Therapy in Stem Cell Transplants

EnteroBiotix has completed patient enrollment for its Phase 2a MAST trial, testing the oral microbiome therapy EBX-102-02 in patients undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplants. The therapy is given as a single dose before chemotherapy to protect the gut microbiome, which is often damaged during transplant and linked to complications like Graft-vs-Host Disease (GVHD) and infections. […]

Next-Generation CELMoDs Offer Faster, Stronger Treatment for Multiple Myeloma

Researchers are reporting a major advance in multiple myeloma treatment with a new class of drugs called CELMoDs (cereblon E3 ligase modulators), including iberdomide and mezigdomide. These drugs are stronger than traditional IMiDs like Revlimid, killing cancer cells directly while also boosting the immune system by activating T-cells and Natural Killer cells. They also tend

PSA Levels and PSMA Scans May Tell Different Stories in Prostate Cancer

A recent study highlights a mismatch between PSA blood tests and PSMA-PET scans in tracking prostate cancer. While patients taking enzalutamide saw PSA levels drop dramatically—sometimes to 0 ng/mL—their PSMA scans often showed remaining tumor or even slight increases in tumor volume. This suggests that the two measures do not always align. Experts warn that

Venetoclax-Based Transplant Strategy Shows Promise for High-Risk MDS and AML

A phase 1 trial shows that a venetoclax-based transplant regimen is safe and effective for high-risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome and Acute Myeloid Leukemia patients. The study focused on older patients with poor-risk features, including TP53 mutations, using a reduced-intensity conditioning of venetoclax with fludarabine and busulfan, followed by post-transplant maintenance with venetoclax and oral decitabine/cedazuridine. Results

Early Trial Shows TLX591-Tx Safe in Advanced Prostate Cancer Combination Therapy

The first part of the global ProstACT study has shown that the radiopharmaceutical TLX591-Tx (Lutetium-177 rosopatamab tetraxetan) is safe and tolerable when combined with standard therapies for advanced prostate cancer. The trial involved 36 patients with PSMA-positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who had already progressed on a first androgen receptor pathway inhibitor. Each patient received

Prostate Cancer Treatment Shifts Toward Personalization and Less Aggressive Therapy

New research highlights a growing shift toward more personalized and less aggressive treatment for Prostate Cancer, with a strong focus on improving patients’ quality of life. Doctors are moving away from a one-size-fits-all approach and using new data to identify which patients truly need intensive therapy and which may safely avoid certain treatments. Results from

Blood Vessel Barrier Found to Block Immune Attack in Small Cell Lung Cancer

Scientists have discovered a key reason why Small Cell Lung Cancer often resists immunotherapy. Their research shows that the tiny blood vessels around the tumor act like a barrier, preventing immune cells from entering the cancer and attacking it. In theory, these tumors should be vulnerable to attack by Natural Killer cells because many small

New Drug Combination Shows Promise for Heavily Treated HER2-Positive Breast Cancer

New research suggests that combining the experimental drug evorpacept with the HER2-targeted therapy zanidatamab may help patients with heavily treated HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. Evorpacept works by blocking CD47, a signal cancer cells use to avoid being destroyed by the immune system. Researchers also found that patients whose tumors had higher CD47 levels responded better

ADCs Move Earlier in HER2-Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer Treatment

Treatment for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer is evolving as antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) move earlier in therapy. The long-standing first-line standard has been a taxane chemotherapy combined with trastuzumab and pertuzumab (THP), established by the CLEOPATRA trial. However, the DESTINY-Breast09 trial reported that trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) plus pertuzumab significantly improved outcomes, with progression-free survival reaching 40.7

Biomarkers May Help Personalize Treatment for Stage III Colon Cancer

A new study suggests that treatment for Stage III Colon Cancer may need to be more personalized. Standard care usually includes surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy, such as CAPOX or Capecitabine, but about 30% of patients still experience cancer recurrence. Researchers analyzed 259 patients to identify biological markers that may predict which tumors will resist
