Preclinical studies reveal that fructose promotes metastasis in ovarian cancer by reducing cell adhesion, while brigatinib enhances PARP inhibitor efficacy by blocking an early adaptive resistance mechanism. The findings suggest dietary modifications and repurposing a lung cancer drug could improve outcomes for high-grade serous ovarian cancer patients.
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.
AstraZeneca terminated its Phase I/IIa trial of AZD0022 for KRASG12D-mutant cancers, withdrew a planned saruparib ovarian cancer platform study, and completed a real-world non-small cell lung cancer treatment review.
The FDA has granted fast track designation to ART6043 plus olaparib for germline BRCA-mutated HER2-negative breast cancer and to BriaCell's Bria-IMT plus immune checkpoint inhibitor for metastatic breast cancer, both addressing significant unmet medical needs.
