Combining zanzalintinib, a targeted therapy drug, and atezolizumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor, helped patients with metastatic colorectal cancer live longer and control their disease better than with the standard treatment drug regorafenib, according to a study led by UCLA investigators.
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.
