Teclistamab extends OS, deepens remissions in landmark trial published in NEJM and presented at ASCO

Patients with relapsed multiple myeloma treated with the immunotherapy teclistamab (TECVALI) lived significantly longer and remained in remission far longer than those receiving standard therapies, according to results from a major international phase III clinical trial published in The New England Journal of Medicine and presented at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology annual meeting.

Adding a lower cutoff value for CA19-9 may identify additional high-risk cases of pancreatic cancer

A dual-threshold model for measuring the pancreatic tumor marker serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) identified patients with pancreatic cancer who had high-risk disease despite having low CA19-9 levels because of a genetic variation that impairs their ability to produce this biomarker.

AI model links tumor mutations to treatment response, UCSD study finds

An artificial intelligence model may be able to translate a tumor’s complex genetic profile into predictions about how that cancer may respond to treatment, according to a study conducted by researchers at University of California San Diego.

Imfinzi regimen reduced early disease recurrence in non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer, phase III trial POTOMAC shows

Exploratory analyses of the POTOMAC phase III trial showed adding one year of treatment with AstraZeneca’s Imfinzi (durvalumab) to BCG induction and maintenance therapy reduced the number of high-risk disease recurrences within the first year, with fewer BCG-unresponsive recurrences in patients with BCG-naïve, high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer compared to BCG treatment alone.
