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.
Researchers hypothesized that because prior studies have demonstrated that common drugs can affect the microbiome, these medications could also impact IO efficacy in HCC.
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.
