The FDA has approved three new targeted therapies for different stages of advanced prostate cancer: Truqap for PTEN-deficient tumors, rucaparib for BRCA-mutated castration-resistant disease, and Akeega for BRCA2-mutated castration-sensitive cancer.
At the ADA Scientific Sessions, Novo Nordisk's Wegovy pill surpassed 3 million prescriptions within five months, while Structure Therapeutics and AstraZeneca shared mid-stage GLP-1 data targeting a 2029 launch. The US FDA approved TRUQAP as the first targeted treatment for PTEN-deficient metastatic prostate cancer, reducing disease progression risk by 19% in the CAPItello-281 trial. Meanwhile, two major genomic atlas projects—a 4,098-genome infant gut bacteria catalog and Basecamp Research's Trillion Gene Atlas—aim to advance precision probiotics and AI-driven drug discovery, respectively.
