- Atezolizumab (MPDL3280A; anti-PDL1), data showing the investigational cancer immunotherapy reduced the risk of death by half in advanced NSCLC [press release].
- Cobimetinib data showing the investigational MEK inhibitor helped people with advanced BRAF-mutated melanoma live for a year without disease progression [press release].
- Gazyva®(obinutuzumab) data showing the anti-CD20 antibody helped double the time before disease progression in people with indolent non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma who stopped responding to a standard of care [press release].
- Perjeta® (pertuzumab) data showing the medicine helped reduce the risk of disease progression, recurrence or death when used prior to surgery by people with HER2-positive early breast cancer. [press release].
Viewpoints from the cancer community on hot topics at ASCO, which are available at gene.com/topics/asco. There are patient perspectives on living with cancer, discussions of clinical trial trends, interactive tools on cancer immunotherapy, and much more.
