A phase II trial of TAK-007 CAR-NK therapy in R/R B-cell NHL showed a 60.9% overall response rate. Preclinical CAR-NKT therapy eliminated endometrial tumors in models. Optimized costimulatory domains (2B4-DAP12) boosted CAR-NK tumor killing.
The FDA approved Bristol Myers Squibb’s Breyanzi for adults with relapsed or refractory marginal zone lymphoma after at least two prior systemic therapies. In TRANSCEND FL, the CAR T therapy showed a 95.5% overall response rate and 62.1% complete response rate.
New antibody-based approaches demonstrate clinical benefits across multiple cancer types, including improved survival in triple-negative breast cancer, enhanced tumor detection via PET imaging, and activity in relapsed mantle cell lymphoma.
Recent studies demonstrate zanubrutinib delivers higher response rates, longer treatment persistence, and lower healthcare costs compared to acalabrutinib and ibrutinib across multiple B-cell malignancies, with particularly strong benefits in high-risk populations.
Recent studies demonstrate PD-1 antibody combinations improve survival in natural killer/T-cell lymphoma and show activity in previously treated advanced non-small cell lung cancer, with manageable safety profiles across treatment settings.
The FDA approved Tecvayli plus Darzalex Faspro for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma in March 2026, and Darzalex Faspro-based quadruplet D-VRd for newly diagnosed transplant-ineligible patients in January 2026.
The 2026 ASCO GU Symposium featured significant trial results in renal cell carcinoma, urothelial carcinoma, and prostate cancer, including data from LITESPARK-022, KEYNOTE-B15, SunRISE-2, and PEACE-3 studies.
ImmunityBio completed enrollment of 366 patients in its Phase 2 trial of ANKTIVA plus BCG versus BCG alone for BCG-naïve bladder cancer. Interim analysis showed statistically significant improvement in duration of complete response, with the company anticipating a BLA submission by Q4 2026.
AIM ImmunoTech outlined key milestones for its Phase 2 DURIPANC trial evaluating Ampligen combined with durvalumab in metastatic pancreatic cancer, with primary endpoint evaluation expected in December 2026.
Two clinical trials demonstrate efficacy of talimogene laherparepvec (T-VEC) oncolytic virus therapy in HER2-negative breast cancer and nonmelanoma skin cancers, with favorable safety profiles and durable responses in subset of patients.
