Recently, a study for the treatment of advanced EGFR-mutated and c-MET-positive lung cancer showed good results with the cutting-edge ADC drug teliso-V in combination with the EGFR generation-targeted drug troche (i.e. erlotinib).

Many elderly people have high blood pressure themselves, but refuse to stick to their antihypertensive medication, thinking that taking it for a long time will have many side effects.

With more and more new cutting-edge drugs emerging, the standard treatment paradigm for breast cancer is now rapidly changing, and the future is looking brighter for patients.

A three-drug combination regimen significantly prolongs survival in patients with HPV-positive cancers, new data from a clinical trial shows. For patients who had not been treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors, it resulted in significant tumour shrinkage in 88% of patients, and even in patients who failed immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment, 63% had significant tumour shrinkage.

Many lung cancer patients will be detected by genetic testing to carry an EGFR mutation, and these patients can often control their tumours with EGFR-targeted drugs. Although targeted drugs are effective and have fewer side effects than chemotherapy, resistance to them inevitably occurs, after which they no longer work.

Bile duct cancer is a rare but highly malignant tumour that occurs in the human bile duct system and has long had a poor prognosis. Now, researchers at University College London and University College London Hospitals, in an international multi-centre trial, have identified potentially good treatments that may radically improve the lives of some patients with bile duct cancer.

Targeted drug Selpercatinib has received accelerated approval from the FDA. It is cancer-independent and may benefit any solid tumour with a positive RET gene fusion. It is up to 84% effective in selected patients with non-small cell lung cancer!

Recently, the US FDA has granted orphan drug status to two new therapeutics in a row. One is a small molecule inhibitor, PCLX-001, for the treatment of acute myeloid leukaemia; the other is a T-cell therapy, ET140203, for the treatment of hepatoblastoma. Both therapies are currently in relevant trials.

Recently, the frontier drug INT230-6 showed good tumour killing effects in the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma in the single arm phase 1/2 open-label clinical trial IT-01 (NCT03058289), and the drug showed good responses whether injected inside the tumour alone or in combination with the CTLA-4 immune checkpoint inhibitor ipilimumab.
