Low socioeconomic status was associated with greater in-hospital mortality and decreased use of advanced therapeutic options.

In recent decades, clinical trials have grown increasingly restrictive and exclusive, which has impacted the inclusivity and diversity of selected trial participants.

Guidelines for HER2-low expressed cancer could define who and how patient recieve drugs, said expert live from San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium 2022.

At 3 and 6 months, rivaroxaban was found to be as effective and safe as apixaban in the composite outcome of recurrent venous thromboembolism or bleeding-related hospitalization.

The phase 3 clinical trial shows that the 5-year OS for patients with HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer in the abemaciclib plus fulvestrant group was 41.2% vs 29.2% for the placebo arm.

OP-1250 and palbociclib showed “enhanced suppression of tumor growth” in preclinical mouse model studies, according to expert who presented his findings in a poster at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium 2022.

Expert sits with Pharmacy Times to share the promising results of a study that evaluated the safety of a new antibody drug conjugate with radiation therapy.

Results from the phase 3 CAPItello-291 clinical trial show that the combination doubled the median progression-free survival compared with the placebo in patients with HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer.

BYLieve clinical trial data indicate long-term and very-long-term data disease control was observed in 25.6% and 16.5% of patients, respectively, with PFS at 24.8 and 29.4 months in patients with HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer.

Efficacy and safety profile in combination with alpelisib is comparable to that reported in the BYLieve and SOLAR-1 clinical trials, according to a poster presentation at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium.

Clinical trial results found that second-line treatment with trastuzumab deruxtecan led to significantly longer overall survival compared with trastuzumab emtansine.

DESTINY-Breast02 clinical trial results show trastuzumab deruxtecan demonstrated a clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvement in progression-free and overall survival.
