Daraxonrasib Nearly Doubles Survival in Previously Treated Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer

Daraxonrasib (RMC-6236) delivered breakthrough results in the phase 3 RASolute 302 trial offering a major advance for patients with previously treated metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. The study enrolled 500 patients whose cancer had progressed after one prior chemotherapy regimen and compared oral daraxonrasib with standard chemotherapy options. Patients treated with daraxonrasib achieved a median overall […]

TMC-I Regimen Extends Survival in Advanced Head and Neck Cancer at Lower Cost

A phase 3 trial showed that the TMC-I regimen significantly improved survival in patients with platinum-sensitive, advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma receiving first-line palliative treatment. Conducted at the Tata Memorial Centre in India, the study compared TMC-I—an oral combination of methotrexate, erlotinib, and celecoxib plus ultra-low-dose nivolumab—with standard paclitaxel-carboplatin chemotherapy in 422 patients.

Study Identifies MEX3D Cellular “Switch” That Drives Sperm Development and Cancer Growth

Scientists have identified a newly discovered cellular recycling system that helps cells rapidly switch which proteins they produce, with important roles in both sperm development and cancer. The study shows that cells often store “silent” messenger RNAs (mRNAs) that are not immediately translated into proteins. A protein called MEX3D acts as a master switch that

PEAK Trial: Bezuclastinib Plus Sunitinib Halves Progression Risk in Advanced GIST

The phase 3 PEAK trial showed that combining bezuclastinib, a selective oral KIT inhibitor, with sunitinib significantly improves outcomes in patients with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) who have progressed after first-line therapy. The combination reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 50%, with median progression-free survival of 16.5 months versus 9.2 months

BLUESTAR Trial: Puxitatug Samrotecan Shows Strong Activity in Advanced Endometrial and Ovarian Cancer

The Phase 1/2a BLUESTAR trial showed promising results for puxitatug samrotecan (Puxi-Sam), a B7-H4-targeting antibody-drug conjugate developed for advanced gynecologic cancers. The drug delivers a topoisomerase 1 inhibitor directly to tumor cells expressing B7-H4, a protein commonly found in endometrial and ovarian cancers. At the recommended 2.4 mg/kg dose, Puxi-Sam achieved an objective response rate

NEXUS-01 Trial: LY4052031 Shows Activity in Metastatic Urothelial Cancer After Enfortumab Vedotin Failure

The phase 1 NEXUS-01 trial demonstrated encouraging activity for LY4052031, a next-generation Nectin-4-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) for metastatic urothelial carcinoma. Designed to overcome resistance to enfortumab vedotin (EV), LY4052031 uses a novel topoisomerase 1 inhibitor payload. Among heavily pretreated patients previously exposed to EV, the drug achieved an objective response rate (ORR) of 33% and

RAMPART Trial: Durvalumab–Tremelimumab Reduces Recurrence Risk After Kidney Cancer Surgery

The phase 3 RAMPART trial found that adjuvant immunotherapy with durvalumab plus tremelimumab significantly reduced the risk of recurrence in patients with high-risk renal cell carcinoma following surgery. After a median follow-up of 3.5 years, the combination achieved a 3-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate of 80%, compared with 72% for active monitoring, translating to a

SUCCESSOR-2 Trial: Mezigdomide Triplet Doubles Progression-Free Survival in Relapsed Multiple Myeloma

The phase 3 SUCCESSOR-2 trial showed that adding mezigdomide, an oral CELMoD, to carfilzomib and dexamethasone significantly improved outcomes for patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. The triplet regimen doubled median progression-free survival to 18.0 months compared with 8.3 months for carfilzomib and dexamethasone alone, reducing the risk of disease progression or death by

ROSELLA Trial Confirms Survival Benefit of Relacorilant in Platinum-Resistant Ovarian Cancer

New subgroup data from the phase 3 ROSELLA trial show that adding relacorilant (Lifyorli) to nab-paclitaxel significantly improves survival for patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, regardless of prior taxane treatment history. With a median follow-up of 24.8 months, patients receiving the combination therapy achieved a median overall survival of 16.0 months, compared with 11.9 months
