FDA grants priority review to repotrectinib for locally advanced or metastatic ROS1-positive NSCLC

FDA approved Padcev (enfortumab vedotin-ejfv), a Nectin-4 directed antibody-drug conjugate, plus the PD-1 inhibitor Keytruda (pembrolizumab) or Keytruda QLEX (pembrolizumab and berahyaluronidase alfa-pmph), as neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatment for adult patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer, regardless of cisplatin eligibility. 

FDA approved Revtorpyk (gedatolisib) for the treatment of patients with hormone receptor positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer without a PIK3CA mutation detected following progression on or after treatment with at least one line of endocrine therapy in the metastatic setting. Revtorpyk is the only inhibitor of class I PI3K isoforms (α, β, δ, γ) and mTOR complexes mTORC1 and mTORC2 to receive FDA approval.

FDA approved PD‑L1 IHC 28‑8 pharmDx assay as a companion diagnostic to identify patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, gastric, gastroesophageal junction, and esophageal adenocarcinoma who may be eligible for treatment with Opdivo (nivolumab) or Opdivo Qvantig (nivolumab and hyaluronidase‑nvhy), Bristol Myers Squibb’s PD‑1‑targeted immunotherapeutic agents. PD-L1 IHC 28-8 pharmDx is approved for exclusive use with the Agilent Autostainer Link 48 advanced staining solution.
