Thrombocytopenia is a condition characterized by a lower-than-normal platelet count, increasing risk of bruising and bleeding. Causes include decreased production, increased destruction, splenic sequestration, medications, infections, and systemic disease.
AbbVie will present new lung cancer data at WCLC 2026, including Phase 1b results for ABBV-1480 showing high response rates in NSCLC and safety updates for ABBV-706 in SCLC. The company also reported progress in dermatology, obesity, and Crohn's disease programs.
Keros Therapeutics plans a phase II DMD trial of rinvatercept in Q1 2026 and regulatory talks for ALS in H2 2026. Cash stands at $383 million with runway into H1 2028.
Epcoritamab plus lenalidomide cut progression risk by 60% in R/R DLBCL in a phase 3 trial. Five-year AUGMENT follow-up supports R2 in indolent NHL; a phase 2 penpulimab-lenalidomide-R-GemOx trial showed activity in DLBCL.
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.
Telix said Part 1 of the ProstACT Global Phase 3 study met its primary objectives for TLX591-Tx in mCRPC. The company reported acceptable safety, no new safety signals and progression plans for Part 2.
Ruxolitinib remains the standard frontline therapy for intermediate-2 and high-risk myelofibrosis, with phase 3 and real-world data showing spleen and symptom benefits. Cytopenias, transfusion needs and resistance after 2 to 3 years continue to drive interest in new combinations.
Cabozantinib plus metronomic temozolomide showed a 15% response rate and 28.5-month median progression-free survival in a phase 2 NET study. A separate analysis found cabozantinib cost-effective for pancreatic NETs, but not extrapancreatic NETs, in China and the U.S.
The myelofibrosis therapeutic pipeline now includes over 40 candidates from more than 35 companies, with recent developments including Orphan Drug Designation for CK0804 and multiple Phase III trial initiations. Key clinical milestones include completed enrollment in Karyopharm's SENTRY trial and upcoming Phase I data from Incyte's combination therapy studies.
Phase 2 trial data show lisocabtagene maraleucel achieved a 95% overall response rate in patients with relapsed or refractory marginal zone lymphoma, with a manageable safety profile and no new safety signals.
The FDA has approved Filkri (filgrastim-laha), a biosimilar to Neupogen, for cancer patients at risk of infection due to chemotherapy and other indications. The approval marks Accord BioPharma's sixth biosimilar product.
