To gain access to its primary experimental medication for a rare blood cancer and complement Blenrep, currently indicated as a treatment for patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who received at least four prior therapies, the company decided to purchase American pharmaceutical company Sierra Oncology in April.

In this phase 2 double-blind trial, adults with treatment-resistant depression were randomly assigned to receive psychological support and a single dose of a proprietary, synthetic form of psilocybin at a dose of 25 mg, 10 mg, or 1 mg (control). The Montgomery-Sberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total score change from baseline to week three was the main outcome measure.

The 100-μg dose of the ERBB2 ICD plasmid-based vaccine was associated with the generation of ERBB2-specific type 1 T cells in the majority of patients with ERBB2-expressing breast cancer in this phase 1 nonrandomized clinical trial, and it is currently being assessed in randomized phase 2 trials.

The CRc rate was higher with GIL + AZA than with AZA in FLT3mut+ AML patients who were not suitable for intensive chemotherapy. In addition, OS did not differ significantly between GIL + AZA and AZA in FLT3mut+ AML patients who were not suitable for intensive chemotherapy.

Neoadjuvant nivolumab plus chemotherapy improved event-free survival and increased the proportion of patients who had a pathological complete response in patients with resectable NSCLC compared to chemotherapy alone. Nivolumab was added to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, but neither the incidence of side effects nor the viability of surgery was affected.
