Neoadjuvant nivolumab and chemotherapy followed by surgery and adjuvant nivolumab demonstrated improvements in event-free survival, pathologic complete response, and major pathologic response in non–small cell lung cancer.

While there was no significant difference in overall survival between the daratumumab and control groups, safety profile results and follow-up data support daratumumab’s continued evaluation in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Findings from a 3-year follow-up of the Checkmate-816 trial demonstrated promising results with nivolumab and platinum-based chemotherapy, including improvements in event-free survival.

Findings from the CheckMate-901 trial demonstrated improvements for the treatment of patients with urothelial carcinoma who received a combination of nivolumab and chemotherapy followed by nivolumab monotherapy.

A trial of intratumoral daromun and surgical resection for the treatment of patients with locally advanced, fully resectable melanoma, showed a clinically meaningful improvement compared with surgery alone.

Bexmarilimab shows encouraging results when combined with standard of care treatments for patients with acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes.

The CXCL 12 inhibitor delivered a 50% overall survival rate at 18 months in the GLORIA trial, and its manufacturer intends to seek FDA guidance on further trial design.
