Studies on immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy found pretreatment biomarkers strongly predicted checkpoint inhibitor-associated autoimmune diabetes, while hyperglycemia during treatment was common and did not worsen disease progression.
The FDA approved once-monthly subcutaneous amivantamab with lazertinib for first-line EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC. PALOMA-2 showed high response rates and no new safety signals.
New research reveals significant advances in blood-based biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease, including a pTau 217 assay showing 93% agreement with amyloid PET imaging and identification of interferon gamma as a diagnostic signal linked to genetic risk. These developments address challenges in early diagnosis and monitoring while requiring substantially less plasma than previous tests.
New research demonstrates machine learning can optimize drug dosing, identifies biomarkers of treatment response, and validates prognostic criteria for long-term kidney survival in pediatric lupus nephritis patients.
The FDA has placed a partial hold on U.S. enrollment in a Phase 2 trial of del-desiran for myotonic dystrophy type 1, citing preclinical mouse data showing blood pressure drops not seen in humans, following a serious adverse event in earlier testing.
