"Patient"

Scientists from MIT designed a microfluidic device to capture and count circulating plasma cells in small samples of blood. This technique can only be carried out through routine blood drawing, which is expected to reduce the pain of patients' myeloma testing.

With more and more new cutting-edge drugs emerging, the standard treatment paradigm for breast cancer is now rapidly changing, and the future is looking brighter for patients.

Biopharmaceutical company Airway has announced that the first patient will be administered AT-100 (rhSP-D) in a phase 1b randomised trial to prevent the risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in very preterm infants. The novel prophylactic AT-100 reduces the incidence and severity of the severe respiratory disease BPD and may improve the prognosis of very preterm infants.

According to an announcement from Caribou Biosciences, the FDA has granted advanced therapy designation in regenerative medicine for the cutting-edge CAR-T therapy CB-010 for the treatment of relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma and fast track designation for the treatment of relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Recent findings show that the use of cutting-edge immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy (referred to as immunotherapy in this article) has increased rapidly over the past decade in the population of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but the survival benefit is more pronounced in younger people than in older people, who have limited survival benefit with this therapy.

A dendritic cell vaccine has shown excellent results in the treatment of glioblastoma, significantly extending the survival of patients with a good safety profile, according to new data from a global clinical trial. To date, patients who have benefited for the longest time have survived for more than eight years.

The US FDA has approved a new leukaemia drug, Olutasidenib, which has been shown to be effective and has a controlled safety profile, resulting in the complete disappearance of cancer cells in 35% of patients enrolled, with efficacy lasting up to 25.9 months.

There are many ways to treat prostate cancer and radiation therapy is a common treatment for prostate cancer, but many prostate cancer patients want to know what the side effects of radiation therapy are.

The US FDA has approved Elacestrant, the first oral selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD), for the treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic breast cancer who are estrogen receptor positive, HER2 negative and have an ESR1 mutation. Results of the trial showed that patients treated with Elacestrant had a 45% reduction in the risk of disease progression or death.

Recently, a study for the treatment of advanced EGFR-mutated and c-MET-positive lung cancer showed good results with the cutting-edge ADC drug teliso-V in combination with the EGFR generation-targeted drug troche (i.e. erlotinib).
