Continuing our quick look at published trials for novel therapy alternatives to radical cystectomy for BCG-unresponsive non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. 4. Intravesical portuzumab monatox-qqrs (Vicinium) Vicinium is a recombinant fusion protein that blocks protein synthesis in order to mediate tumour cell death. The FDA denied approval for its use in BCG-unresponsive non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer following a review of the results of a phase 3 single-arm clinical trial. The 3-month complete response rate was 40%, and 52% of patients who responded remained disease-free for 12 months after treatment.

🚀 FDA Approval Alert! 🚀 FDA approved durvalumab (Imfinzi, AstraZeneca) for adults with limited-stage small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC) whose disease has not progressed following concurrent platinum-based chemotherapy and radiation therapy. This approval is based on the ADRIATIC trial, which demonstrated a significant improvement in overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) for patients treated with durvalumab compared to placebo. This is a major advancement in the treatment of LS-SCLC. 🔗 Read more about the approval #FDAApproval #Imfinzi #CancerTreatment #Oncology #HealthcareInnovation #MedicalResearch #LungCancer #ClinicalTrials #PharmaNews #Safevig solutions sandeep laveti Sneha Akkangire .

Merck Group & Kelun LifeSciences (Pvt)Ltd’s TROP-2 ADC could be a ray of hope post Phase III data readout highlighting its efficacy in the most aggressive breast cancer type, TNBC. Sacituzumab tirumotecan, known as SKB264, has demonstrated outstanding potential in the treatment of advanced triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), substantially lowering the risk of disease progression or mortality while maintaining an acceptable safety profile. An interim analysis conducted on June 21, 2023, indicated that patients treated with SKB264 experienced a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 5.7 months, which is more than twice the 2.3 months observed in patients who received standard chemotherapy. The 6-month PFS rates further highlighted the difference, with SKB264 achieving a rate of 43.4% compared to 11.1% for chemotherapy. In patients exhibiting high TROP2 expression, the median PFS for SKB264 was 5.8 months, significantly longer than the 1.9 months for those on chemotherapy.
