Cemiplimab monotherapy for first-line treatment of advanced non-small- by Ahmet Sezer, Saadettin Kilickap et al

Abstract Background: We aimed to examine cemiplimab, a programmed cell death 1 inhibitor, in the first-line treatment of advanced non-small-cell lung cancer with programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) of at least 50%. Methods: In EMPOWER-Lung 1, a multicentre, open-label, global, phase 3 study, eligible patients recruited in 138 clinics from 24 countries (aged ≥18 years with histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced non-small-cell lung cancer, an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0–1; never-smokers were ineligible) were randomly assigned (1:1) to cemiplimab 350 mg every 3 weeks or platinum-doublet chemotherapy. Crossover from chemotherapy to cemiplimab was allowed following disease progression. Primary endpoints were overall survival and progression-free survival per masked independent review committee. Primary endpoints were assessed in the intention-to-treat population and in a prespecified PD-L1 of at least 50% population (per US Food and Drug

Targeted Drug Yields Durable Responses in Rare Blood Neoplasm

email article Three-quarters of patients with the rare blood disorder advanced systemic mastocytosis responded to treatment with avapritinib (Ayvakit), an interim analysis of a phase II trial found. Among 32 patients treated with daily avapritinib in the PATHFINDER study, 19% had a complete remission (CR) with partial hematologic recovery, 31% had a partial response, and 25% achieved stable disease, with responses observed in all disease subtypes, reported Daniel DeAngelo, MD, PhD, of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. Avapritinib at a starting dose of 200 mg induced rapid, durable, and improving responses, DeAngelo said during his presentation at the American Association for Cancer Research virtual meeting. Reductions were seen in disease burden based on bone marrow mast cells, reduction in serum tryptase,
