Data from pivotal trials of sugemalimab, a PD-L1 inhibitor, and aumolertinib, a third-generation EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor, demonstrated the potential clinical benefit of these investigational medicines in non-small cell lung cancer and of sugemalimab in relapsed or refractory extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma.
Arjan Gower, a hematologist/oncologist at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, received a $950,000 grant from the National Comprehensive Cancer Network and Taiho Oncology Inc. to help launch a multi-institutional clinical trial to test zipalertinib, an investigational drug that targets specific EGFR mutations, including Exon 20 insertions, which are known to drive cancer growth and resist standard treatments.
