VHIO’s novel CAR T-cell therapy demonstrates efficacy and safety in preclinical models of HER2-positive solid tumors

One-third of HER2-positive tumors express the P95HER2 protein, which associates with an aggressive form of breast cancer with a poorer prognosis. Investigators of the Vall d’Hebron Institute of Oncology’s Growth Factors Group, in collaboration with researchers of the Cancer Research Program of Hospital del Mar Research Institute, Barcelona, have developed novel chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy that can produce a potent antitumor response against p95HER2-expressing cells.

FDA approves Ziihera for HER2+ biliary tract cancer

FDA accelerated approval of Ziihera (zanidatamab-hrii) 50mg/mL for injection for intravenous use for the treatment of adults with previously treated, unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive biliary tract cancer, as detected by an FDA-approved test. Ziihera was approved under accelerated approval based on a 52% objective response rate and a median duration of response of 14.9 months as determined by independent central review. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial. The phase III HERIZON-BTC-302 confirmatory trial is ongoing to evaluate zanidatamab in combination with standard-of-care therapy versus standard-of-care therapy alone in the first-line setting for patients with HER2-positive BTC.
