A new targeted cancer drug, DB-1310, is showing early signs of effectiveness in patients with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments, particularly those with EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer, according to results from an international clinical trial led by Aaron Lisberg at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Research has shown that delivering tumor profiling results to cancer patients prior to initiation of treatment and connecting patients harboring an actionable oncogenic mutation with the right targeted therapy can deliver superior patient outcomes. To fulfill this promise of precision medicine, we need to ensure more targeted therapies are available to patients who need them. Fortunately, this work is well underway. xxx:more
