International Congress on Targeted Therapies in Cancer® October 2022

William Wierda, MD, PhD, explored the emergence of small molecule-inhibitor targeted therapies during the “Workup of CLL in the Era of Small Molecules,” presentation at the 10th Annual Meeting of the Society of Hematologic Oncology.

In an interview with Targeted Oncology, Naval G. Daver, MD, discussed the approved and investigational CD47 monoclonal antibodies for patients with acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome and where research is taking this space.

The humanized monoclonal antibody JSP191 showed an 100% complete donor chimerism and resulted in no treatment-related adverse events when administered to patients with Fanconi anemia.

Chemotherapy added to 1500 mg of MEDI5752, a PD-1/CTLA-4 bispecific monoclonal antibody, led to a doubling in duration of response compared with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy in patients with treatment-naïve nonsquamous non–small cell lung cancer.
