In a landmark development for personalized medicine, Moderna, Inc. and Merck (known as MSD outside the U.S. and Canada) announced today that their investigational mRNA-based [Read More…]
NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J., November 17, 2025 — Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) said today that it has reached a final deal to pay $3.05 billion [Read More…]
Results from the ASCENT-03 study reveal that Trodelvy (sacituzumab govitecan-hziy) significantly enhances outcomes for patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. The drug lowered the risk of disease progression or death by 38% and provided a longer duration of response compared to chemotherapy. This positions Trodelvy as a potential new standard of care for this aggressive form of breast cancer, offering hope to a patient population with limited treatment options.
A landmark clinical trial reveals a powerful new weapon against aggressive bladder cancer. The combination of PADCEV™ and KEYTRUDA®, administered before and after surgery, has been shown to significantly improve survival rates for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who are ineligible for cisplatin chemotherapy. These groundbreaking results could establish a new standard of care, offering profound hope for a patient population with previously limited options.
Eli Lilly and Company announced major findings from the seven-year monarchE trial. Their CDK4/6 inhibitor, Verzenio® (abemaciclib), is the first in its class to demonstrate a statistically significant overall survival benefit for patients with HR+, HER2-, high-risk early breast cancer when added to endocrine therapy.
A landmark study by Ohio State scientists reveals the underlying mechanism of cancer immunotherapy failure: a fatal “proteotoxic shock” or protein quality control collapse (TexPSR) in T-cells. This newly identified stress pathway overwhelms immune cells with misfolded proteins, disabling their tumor-fighting function. Crucially, blocking the TexPSR pathway in preclinical models restored T-cell function and made immunotherapy markedly more effective, offering an entirely new target for cancer treatment development.
AbbVie reaches a key milestone by submitting a Biologics License Application (BLA) to the FDA for Pivekimab sunirine (PVEK), an investigational Antibody-Drug Conjugate (ADC) designed to treat the rare and aggressive blood cancer, Blastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Neoplasm (BPDCN).
Roche’s Phase III evERA study for the investigational drug giredestrant has delivered positive results, showing a significant improvement in progression-free survival for patients with advanced ER-positive breast cancer. The all-oral combination therapy, which was well-tolerated, offers a new, promising treatment option for individuals whose disease has progressed after previous treatments.
AstraZeneca‘s supplemental biologics license application (sBLA) for Imfinzi (durvalumab) has been approved and given priority review in the U.S. FDA for the treatment of patients with [Read More…]
Pfizer and Astellas report groundbreaking Phase 3 EMBARK trial results showing XTANDI® (enzalutamide) plus leuprolide significantly improves overall survival in men with non-metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (nmHSPC) and high-risk biochemical recurrence. This marks the first time an androgen receptor inhibitor-based therapy has shown a definitive survival benefit in this specific patient population, offering new hope for extending lives through early and effective treatment.
