Breakthrough Cancer Drugs Extend Survival in Key Trials
Recent studies presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology meeting showcase promising results of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) in breast cancer treatment. Trials reveal significantly delayed disease progression and enhanced survival rates. Innovative blood tests potentially set new protocols for administering chemotherapy in colon and bladder cancers, optimizing patient outcomes.
A new class of cancer drugs known as antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) is making headlines by significantly delaying disease progression and extending survival in breast cancer patients, according to recent research presented at a major European oncology meeting.
At the ESMO meeting, the ASCENT-03 trial highlighted the effectiveness of Gilead Sciences' ADC Trodelvy, wherein researchers reported a median progression-free survival of 9.7 months in aggressive triple-negative breast cancer patients, compared to 6.9 months with standard chemotherapy.
In addition, innovative blood tests indicating circulating tumor DNA levels could alter chemotherapy protocols in colon and bladder cancers, reducing side effects and optimizing treatment intensity, as suggested by related studies reported in Nature Medicine and The New England Journal of Medicine.
