The poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) inhibitor talazoparib has shown antitumor activity in patients with advanced breast cancer and germline mutations BRCA1 BRCA2 ( BRCA1/2).We conducted a randomized, open-label, phase 3 trial which BRCA1/2 mutation were assigned, 2:1 ratio, to receive (1 mg once daily) or standard single-agent therapy of the physician's choice (capecitabine, eribulin, gemcitabine, vinorelbine continuous 21-day cycles). primary end point was progression-free survival,...

In EMBRACA, talazoparib prolonged progression-free survival versus chemotherapy (hazard ratio [HR] 0.542 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.413-0.711]; P < 0.0001) and improved patient-reported outcomes (PRO) in germline BRCA1/2 (gBRCA1/2)-mutated advanced breast cancer (ABC). We report final overall (OS).This randomized phase III trial enrolled patients with gBRCA1/2-mutated HER2-negative ABC. Patients received or physician's choice of chemotherapy. OS was analyzed using stratified HR log-rank...

Abstract First-line cemiplimab (anti-programmed cell death-1 (PD-1)) monotherapy has previously shown significant improvement in overall survival (OS) and progression-free (PFS) versus chemotherapy patients with advanced non-small lung cancer (aNSCLC) PD-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression ≥50%. EMPOWER-Lung 3 ( NCT03409614 ), a double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase study, examined plus platinum-doublet as first-line treatment for aNSCLC, irrespective of PD-L1 or histology. In this 466 stage...

EMPOWER-Lung 3 part 2 (NCT03409614), a double-blind, placebo-controlled phase study, investigated cemiplimab (antiprogrammed cell death protein 1) plus chemotherapy versus placebo in patients with advanced NSCLC without EGFR, ALK, or ROS1 aberrations, either squamous nonsquamous histology, irrespective of programmed death-ligand 1 levels. At primary analysis, after 16.4 months follow-up, improved median overall survival (OS) alone (21.9 13.0 mo, hazard ratio [HR] = 0.71, 95% confidence...

In the EMBRACA phase III trial, talazoparib (1 mg daily, orally) demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in PFS versus physician's choice of chemotherapy (PCT; capecitabine, eribulin, gemcitabine, or vinorelbine) patients with HER2-negative advanced breast cancer carrying germline BRCA1/2 mutation; we evaluated patient-reported outcomes (PROs).Patients were randomized 2 : 1 to receive PCT. PROs assessed at day (baseline), start each treatment cycle (every 3 weeks), and end...

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and follicular (FL) treatments have been rapidly evolving for patients treated in later lines of therapy (LoT). Country-specific cancer registry data the US Western Europe (WE) were combined with physician survey results to project incidence, prevalence, number DLBCL FL eligible by LoT between 2020 2025. The total incidents prevalent cases is expected increase 2025 WE. 56% 53% third line plus (3L+) 60% 55% initiated treatment WE, respectively. Further...

Abstract Background In the EMBRACA phase III study (NCT01945775), talazoparib was associated with a significantly prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) compared physician's choice of chemotherapy (PCT) in germline BRCA1/2-mutated HER2-negative advanced breast cancer (ABC). Herein, safety profile is explored detail. Materials and Methods Overall, 412 patients received ≥1 dose (n = 286) or PCT 126). Adverse events (AEs) were evaluated, including timing, duration, potential overlap selected...

ABSTRACT Background The value of lipoprotein(a) (Lp[a]) for predicting cardiovascular disease ( CVD ) across low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol LDL ‐C) is uncertain. Hypothesis In older high‐risk adults, higher and Lp(a) combined would be associated with risk more healthcare costs.
