NRG-GY018 Study Demonstrates Significantly Improved PFS Outcomes for Women with Endometrial Cancer with the Addition of Pembrolizumab to Chemotherapy
“Patients with advanced stage or recurrent endometrial cancer, the most common type of gynecologic cancer in the U.S., face a poor prognosis with limited treatment options. This is particularly notable in patients who progress after prior platinum-based adjuvant therapy with disease not amenable to curative surgery or radiation,” stated Ramez Eskander, MD, of the University of California San Diego Moores Cancer Center and the Principal Investigator of the NRG-GY018 trial. “In this study, pembrolizumab in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel resulted in a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in PFS in both the dMMR and pMMR study populations.We look forward to presenting these exciting findings at an upcoming scientific congress.”

“In the first reported data from the clinical combinations of our PRMT5 inhibitor vopimetostat and RAS(ON) inhibitors, we saw extremely encouraging early results, with 92% of patients with PDAC in the vopimetostat plus daraxonrasib arm achieving an objective response, supporting the preclinical data showing synergistic activity of PRMT5 + RAS
“Non-small cell lung cancer is the most prevalent lung disease with more than 8,000 patients in the U.S. diagnosed each year with KRAS G12D-mutations. Receiving Fast Track designation for VS-7375 reinforces both the significant unmet need and the potential of VS-7375 to improve outcomes for patients with KRAS G12D-mutated lung
“KRAS has notoriously been considered an undruggable target and patients with KRAS-driven cancers continue to face limited treatment options with survival measured in months, not years,” said John Reed, M.D., Ph.D., Executive Vice President, Innovative Medicine, Research & Development, Johnson & Johnson. “We believe the proprietary Firelink™ platform will overcome
