Pancreatic cancer is known to be a highly fatal and incurable type of cancer known as the "king of cancers". Currently, the only possible cure for pancreatic cancer is the complete surgical removal of the tumour tissue. Once the cancer has spread beyond the pancreatic organ, the patient's treatment options are very limited.

According to data from an ongoing Phase I/Ib clinical trial (NCT04374877), an innovative IL-27 inhibitor called SRF388 has shown promising results in the treatment of locally advanced or advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which undoubtedly brings new hope for the treatment of lung cancer patients in general!

A new clinical trial update shows that oxitinib (known as Teresa, or 9291) nearly doubled disease-free survival and halved post-operative recurrence rates in lung cancer patients carrying an early stage EGFR mutation!

The results of a new study recently showed that Olutasidenib monotherapy in patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukaemia carrying the IDH1 mutation elicited high rates of complete remission with manageable toxicity.

Data from a study recently published by the Royal Marsden Cancer Centre showed promising data for the combination of Avutometinib + Defactinib in the treatment of ovarian cancer, resulting in significant tumour shrinkage in 28% of patients and disease control in 93% of patients.

With more and more new cutting-edge drugs emerging, the standard treatment paradigm for breast cancer is now rapidly changing, and the future is looking brighter for patients.

The impact of AlphaFold on protein structure prediction has been transformative.

The US FDA has accelerated the approval of the new drug Pirtobrutinib for the treatment of relapsed or refractory set of cell lymphomas. The drug led to substantial tumour disappearance in 50% of patients, with 13% of them having complete tumour disappearance.

The results of a new study show that Ubamatamab, a bispecific antibody drug, has shown excellent results and a good safety profile in patients with ovarian cancer.
