Even though older adults were prescribed second-line therapies less frequently than younger adults, patients had similar overall survival outcomes across age subgroups.
Previous genomic profiling studies have identified potentially targetable alterations in IDH1 and FGFR2 in primary tumor specimens of some patients with IHCC.
The FDA has granted accelerated approval to Tazverik™ (tazemetostat tablets; Epizyme) for the treatment of adults and pediatric patients aged 16 years and older with metastatic or locally advanced epithelioid sarcoma not eligible for complete resection.

Pegvorhyaluronidase alfa is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronan, thought to be a contributor to the structure of the tumor microenvironment in some pancreatic cancers.
Promising results from an earlier-phase study of FOLFOX plus pegilodecakin in metastatic PDAC refractory to gemcitabine provided a rationale for this study.
The FDA has granted Priority Review to the Biologics License Application (BLA) of belantamab mafodotin (GSK2857916; GlaxoSmithKline) for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma whose prior therapy included an immunomodulatory agent, a proteasome inhibitor and an anti-CD38 antibody.
