An update of phase 1 data from the CTMX-2051-101 study is expected to be available by the first quarter of 2026.

Immunocompromised individuals face ongoing COVID-19 risks despite vaccination, highlighting the need for tailored public health strategies and innovative therapies.

Geraldine O’Sullivan Coyne, MD, MRCPI, PhD, shares how a new position presents a “good opportunity” to improve community-based clinical trial access.

The development of nonnarcotic pain medication after GI surgery may help relieve chronic pain without the risk of opioid dependence.

Ronald Bleday, MD, stated that before standardizing a stepwise approach to treating surgical pain, providers might have overtreated patients with opioids.

Conducting trials safely within a community setting lies at the heart of a successful collaboration between Northwell Health and START.

The expertise of START's network may streamline the availability of clinical trial enrollment and novel treatment options among patients with cancer.

A new START center in New York may give patients with advanced malignancies an opportunity to access novel therapies in the community setting.

START is the largest early-phase oncology network in the community-based setting, according to Geraldine O’Sullivan Coyne, MD, PhD, MRCPI.

The 2025 National ICE-T Symposium gave oncology experts an opportunity to share ideas regarding the administration of cellular therapies.

The intravenous formulation of tocilizumab-anoh for CRS is expected to launch in the US on August 31, 2025.

Epistemic closure, broad-scale distribution, and insurance companies are the 3 largest obstacles to implementing new peritoneal surface malignancy care guidelines into practice.

“This is something where this is written by the trainees, for the trainees, and, of course, for all the other clinicians who take care of patients,” said Kiran Turaga, MD, MPH.

These new guidelines aim to alleviate some of the problems caused by patients with peritoneal metastases being diagnosed with the disease in late stages.

A recently published study showed that a multicancer early detection blood test was able to identify cancer 3 or more years before a diagnosis.

The 2025 ASCO Annual Meeting showcased groundbreaking oncology research and treatments, fostering collaboration among leading experts in the field.

The new guidelines relied on trainees to bring new energy and ideas to advance the landscape of care for peritoneal surface malignancies.

EU approval of the agent is based on results from the phase 2b ReNeu trial, which met its primary end point of confirmed objective response rate in NF1-PN.

Investigators are evaluating ZEN-3694 in combination with abemaciclib or cisplatin/etoposide across 2 clinical trials in NUT carcinoma.

“Developments that take high-dimensional data and come up with interpretable insights…are going to play an increasing role,” says Smita Krishnaswamy, PhD.

The 2 denosumab biosimilars previously received FDA approval for select patients with multiple myeloma, solid tumor bone metastases, and osteoporosis.

Investigators of the phase 2 PEVOsq trial identify PD-L1 positivity and HPV positivity as predictive biomarkers of response to the pembrolizumab regimen.

Final data from the phase 3 ENLIVEN trial demonstrate long-term tumor responses and a consistent safety profile with pexidartinib.

Among 287 patients across multiple solid tumor indications, YL201 had an objective response rate of 40.8%, with a disease control rate of 83.6%.
