EU Approves Anktiva Plus BCG for Hard-to-Treat Bladder Cancer

The European Commission has granted conditional marketing approval to Anktiva in combination with BCG for adults with high-grade, BCG-unresponsive non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Until now, patients in Europe whose cancer did not respond to BCG often had very limited options and frequently needed radical cystectomy, the surgical removal of the bladder. The decision is […]

Study Finds Vaccine Structure Dramatically Boosts Cancer-Fighting Immune Response

Researchers have shown that in cancer vaccines, how the ingredients are arranged can be just as important as what they are made of. A new study demonstrates structural nanomedicine, a field focused on nanoscale vaccine design. Scientists discovered that simply changing how a cancer-targeting peptide is positioned on a nanoparticle can greatly strengthen the immune

Matrix Stiffness Drives Pancreatic Cancer Growth and Chemotherapy Resistance via DCLK1 Pathway

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) tumors are extremely stiff, and new research shows that this stiffness directly drives tumor growth and chemotherapy resistance. Clinical data from 63 patients using EUS elastography revealed that stiffer tumors (high strain ratio) are associated with advanced tumor stage, more lymph node involvement, and higher rates of metastasis. The study identified

Liquid Biopsy Using cfDNA Methylation Shows Promise for Early Detection and Monitoring of Ovarian Cancer

Ovarian cancer is one of the deadliest gynecological cancers, partly because early detection is difficult. Traditional blood markers like CA125 and HE4 often miss early-stage disease, and tissue biopsies cannot capture the full complexity of tumors. cfDNA methylation liquid biopsy is emerging as a non-invasive and highly sensitive alternative for diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring treatment.

FES-PET/CT Offers Superior Detection and Hormone Therapy Guidance for Lobular Breast Cancer

Traditional imaging often misses lobular breast cancer because these cells do not form solid tumors and float freely, making them hard to detect with scans that rely on tumor size or glucose metabolism. FES-PET/CT offers a better alternative by targeting estrogen receptors (ER), which lobular cancer cells depend on. Compared with standard FDG-PET/CT, which uses

New Study Shows Zanubrutinib Improves PFS Over Other BTK Inhibitors in R/R CLL

A recent study suggests that Brukinsa (zanubrutinib) provides better progression-free survival than other BTK inhibitors in patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The study compared zanubrutinib with Calquence (acalabrutinib) and Imbruvica (ibrutinib) by adjusting data from three major Phase 3 trials—ALPINE, ELEVATE-RR, and ASCEND—to make fair comparisons. The results showed that zanubrutinib reduced

FDA Accepts Iberdomide NDA and Grants Breakthrough Designation for Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has accepted a New Drug Application for iberdomide, an oral CELMoD, to be used with Darzalex (daratumumab) and dexamethasone for patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. The combination, known as IberDd, has received Breakthrough Therapy Designation. The application is based on interim results from the Phase 3 EXCALIBER-RRMM

BREAKWATER Trial Shows Encorafenib Triplet Significantly Improves Outcomes in First-Line BRAF V600E–Mutant mCRC

Top results from Cohort 3 of the Phase 3 BREAKWATER trial show that combining Braftovi (encorafenib), Erbitux (cetuximab), and FOLFIRI significantly improves outcomes for patients with previously untreated BRAF V600E–mutant metastatic colorectal cancer. The study compared this targeted triplet with standard FOLFIRI chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab. The confirmed overall response rate was 64.4% with

FDA Accepts Velexbru (Tirabrutinib) NDA for Relapsed/Refractory Primary CNS Lymphoma

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has accepted the New Drug Application for Velexbru (tirabrutinib), a BTK inhibitor, to treat relapsed or refractory primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). PCNSL is a rare and aggressive type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that affects the brain and central nervous system. The application is based on results from the Phase

FDA Approves Once-Monthly Rybrevant Faspro Plus Lazertinib for First-Line EGFR-Mutated NSCLC

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved a simpler once-monthly (every 4 weeks) dosing schedule for Rybrevant Faspro (subcutaneous amivantamab with hyaluronidase) combined with lazertinib as first-line treatment for advanced EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients can switch to the monthly schedule as early as Week 5, reducing the need for frequent clinic
