Absolutely stunning progress in #lcsm! 🫁 📈 Each month of 2024 has brought incredible advancements—remarkable strides in lung cancer treatment! 💉 ✨ Here's another perspective on this impressive journey. Just Ah-mazing! @oncodaily.bsky.social @n8pennell.bsky.social @jackwestmd.bsky.social
Phase I Results AMG 193, PRMT5 inhibitor targeting MTAP-deleted solid tumors: @AnnalsOncology • 📊 ORR: 21.4% across 8 tumor types (incl. NSCLC, pancreatic & biliary) • 🛡️ Safety: minimal myelosuppression; nausea & fatigue • 🎯 MoA: Synthetic lethality in MTAP-deleted cells! @oncoalert.bsky.social
📢 Breaking news in #SCLC treatment! Durvalumab is now FDA-approved for limited-stage SCLC based on the ADRIATIC trial. Adding 2 years of durvalumab after chemoradiation improves both PFS and OS (HR 0.73). This approval marks an important step forward for patients with limited-stage SCLC! 💪
Just an amazing episode! Kudos @drcamidge.bsky.social, so touching! Dr. Camidge puts it so beautifully “Patients are people who happen to be patients and not patients who happen to be people, if you see what I mean.” Must listen 🎧
