Axatilimab Plus Ruxolitinib Shows Promising Safety as First-Line cGVHD Treatment

Interim results show that combining axatilimab with ruxolitinib appears safe and well tolerated as a first-line treatment for moderate-to-severe chronic graft-versus-host disease. The study tested this combination because the two drugs work in different ways. Axatilimab targets immune cells that drive fibrosis, while ruxolitinib reduces inflammation by blocking cytokine signaling. Patients were assigned to receive […]

Adagrasib Shows Strong Benefit in Fit Elderly but Limited Survival in Frail NSCLC Patients

Updated results show that adagrasib works differently in patients with KRAS G12C–mutated non–small cell lung cancer depending on their overall health and functional status. In older patients who were still in good condition (performance status 0–1), the drug showed meaningful benefits. About 31% of patients responded to treatment, with cancer controlled for a median of

Relugolix Shows Strong Adherence, Safety, and Quality of Life in Real-World Prostate Cancer Study

Results show that relugolix works well and is safe for patients with advanced prostate cancer in real-world use, whether taken alone or with other treatments. In the first six months, patients maintained a stable quality of life, with no major decline reported in both single-drug and combination therapy groups. Most patients followed their treatment closely,

Radiation Boosts Survival in EGFR-Mutant Lung Cancer When Added to Osimertinib

A new analysis shows that adding local consolidative therapy (LCT), such as radiation, to osimertinib can significantly improve outcomes for patients with EGFR-mutated non–small cell lung cancer. Patients who received both LCT and osimertinib had longer disease control, with progression-free survival reaching 25.3 months compared with 17.5 months for those on osimertinib alone. Higher-dose radiation

Venetoclax Plus Ibrutinib Shows Durable Responses in Marginal Zone Lymphoma

A phase 2 study shows that combining venetoclax and ibrutinib can produce strong and lasting responses in patients with marginal zone lymphoma, including those newly diagnosed and those whose disease has returned or resisted treatment. In the study of 14 patients, 79% responded to the treatment within 16 weeks, and 29% achieved a complete response.

FDA Delays Decision on LNTH-2501 Imaging Agent for Neuroendocrine Tumors

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has delayed its decision on LNTH-2501, an imaging agent developed by Lantheus for detecting neuroendocrine tumors. The new decision date is June 29, 2026, about three months later than originally planned. The delay was requested to allow more time to review manufacturing details, not because of concerns about safety

FDA Updates Adstiladrin Label to Speed Up Bladder Cancer Gene Therapy Delivery

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has updated the label for nadofaragene firadenovec-vncg, a gene therapy used to treat high-risk non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer that no longer responds to standard BCG treatment. The update introduces a faster thawing process using a warm water bath, cutting preparation time to about 25 minutes. This makes it easier for

NCCN Adopts New 5-Factor Model to Personalize Bladder Cancer Treatment

The National Comprehensive Cancer Network has adopted a new risk model from the International Bladder Cancer Group to better classify patients with intermediate-risk non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Instead of treating all patients the same way, this approach helps doctors decide who needs more aggressive treatment and who can receive less intensive care. The model looks at

FDA Approves Relacorilant Plus Nab-Paclitaxel for Platinum-Resistant Ovarian Cancer

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved relacorilant in combination with nab-paclitaxel for adults with platinum-resistant ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who have already received one to three prior treatments, including bevacizumab. This approval is based on a phase 3 trial involving 381 patients, where the combination therapy was compared with nab-paclitaxel

Glofitamab Boosts CAR T-Cell Therapy Outcomes in Relapsed B-Cell Lymphoma Patients

A study shows that adding the bispecific antibody glofitamab to CAR T-cell therapy can improve outcomes for patients with relapsed or hard-to-treat B-cell lymphomas. CAR T-cell therapy is already widely used, but many patients relapse because cancer cells can hide from treatment, the CAR T-cells lose strength over time, or the tumor environment blocks the
