Oncology pharmacist discusses recent clinical trial data and what it could mean for patient outcomes.

Certain populations have been found to have differing prognoses, such as African American patients, who have an earlier onset of disease with a higher likelihood of an aggressive tumor type and shorter survival.

The implementation of genetic testing for patients prescribed medications associated with progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy is likely to improve safety outcomes.

Ribociclib plus endocrine therapy demonstrates a reduction in the risk of disease recurrence in patients with HR+/HER2- early breast cancer.

Drugs such as pembrolizumab, sacituzumab govitecan, and datopotamab deruxtecan all have growing bodies of evidence illustrating which patients with cancer are most likely to benefit and in which settings.

3D biofabrication models reflect increasing global awareness of the ethics of preclinical studies and an increased need for determining therapeutic efficacy differences.
