"Patient"

According to researchers at the Tisch Cancer Institute at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, a new treatment that helps the immune system kill multiple myeloma cancer cells has benefited up to 73% of patients in 2 clinical trials!

Many patients with diabetes are painless when their blood sugar is high, and retinopathy is also silent and imperceptible. Therefore, the majority of diabetes patients should be reminded that after the diagnosis of diabetes, they must regularly screen the sugar network, and early diagnosis and treatment is the key. Early detection, early treatment and regular reexamination can avoid more than 90% of severe visual impairment.

According to data from an ongoing Phase I/Ib clinical trial (NCT04374877), an innovative IL-27 inhibitor called SRF388 has shown promising results in the treatment of locally advanced or advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which undoubtedly brings new hope for the treatment of lung cancer patients in general!

Stroke is the main cause of disability in Americans. More than 6.5 million Americans survive stroke every year, and most of them cannot fully recover their walking ability. Experts said that because of the difficulty in walking, these patients would not even go out to the store to buy things, but they were inactive for a long time, which led to other health problems and a spiral decline in their quality of life.

Research suggests that gender-related differences in lung cancer survival are largely determined by known prognostic factors, suggesting an opportunity to explore gender differences in treatment preference, choice and accessibility.

The US FDA has approved pemigatinib, the first targeted drug to date for patients with specific mutated blood tumours, and the results of the study show that the drug made tumours disappear completely in 79% of patients!

The European Union has recently approved Roctavian, the first gene therapy for haemophilia A. The therapy has led to a significant reduction in the average number of annual bleeds and the average number of annual clotting factor VIII transfusions in patients with this severe bleeding disorder, and has a good safety profile.

The FDA granted priority review status to Enhertu (DS-8201) for the treatment of patients with HR-positive, low HER2-expressing breast cancer, and Enhertu has enabled these patients to remain disease-free for an average of 10.1 months, with an average overall survival time of nearly two years. A decision on approval is expected to be made in the fourth quarter of this year.
