Podcasts about monotherapy

BUFFALO, NY - June 11, 2025 – A new #research paper was #published in Volume 16 of Oncotarget on May 29, 2025, titled “Durable complete response in leptomeningeal disease of EGFR mutated non-small cell lung cancer to amivantamab, an EGFR-MET receptor bispecific antibody, after progressing on osimertinib.” A team led by first author Jinah Kim, from the University of Vermont Medical Center, and corresponding author Young Kwang Chae, from the Feinberg School of Medicine, reports a clinical case in which a patient with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) carrying rare EGFR mutations responded remarkably to amivantamab after other treatments had failed. The patient experienced a complete resolution of brain and spinal fluid metastases, suggesting that amivantamab may be a viable option for patients with uncommon genetic profiles and limited therapy options. Lung cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Patients with NSCLC who have rare mutations in the EGFR gene often face limited treatment options and poor outcomes, especially when the disease spreads to the brain or spinal fluid. This case involved a 67-year-old man diagnosed with NSCLC who had two rare EGFR mutations—G719A and A289V. After disease progression on osimertinib and other therapies, the patient began amivantamab monotherapy. Within six weeks, his lung tumor shrank by over 30 percent. By six months, imaging confirmed the disappearance of brain metastases and leptomeningeal disease, a serious condition affecting the membranes of the brain and spinal cord. Blood tests showed no detectable cancer-related mutations, and the patient, previously wheelchair-bound, regained the ability to walk and perform daily activities. This response has been sustained for more than 19 months. “Treatment produced a durable response over 19 months, including a 32.2% reduction in tumor size at six weeks, and complete resolution of brain metastases and LMD by six months.” Amivantamab is a bispecific antibody that targets EGFR and MET, two key drivers of tumor growth. While it is approved in combination regimens for common EGFR mutations, its effectiveness as a single agent in rare mutations or in treating brain metastases remains largely unproven. This case challenges the assumption that large antibody drugs cannot cross the blood-brain barrier and suggests that amivantamab may have potential in managing central nervous system involvement. Further research is needed to clarify how the drug achieves these effects and to explore its broader use in patients with rare EGFR mutations and limited treatment options. This case highlights three key findings: amivantamab may be effective against rare EGFR mutations, can be used as monotherapy, and may overcome the challenges of the blood-brain barrier. Although based on a single patient, the results provide encouraging evidence to support further investigation of amivantamab in treating difficult-to-manage forms of NSCLC.

In today's episode, supported by Takeda, we had the pleasure of speaking with Ibrahim T. Aldoss, MD, and Elias Jabbour, MD, about the use of ponatinib (Iclusig) monotherapy after combination chemotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome–positive (Ph)–positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Dr Aldoss is an associate professor in the Division of Leukemia in the Department of Hematology & Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation at City of Hope in Duarte, California. Jabbour is a professor in the Department of Leukemia in the Division of Cancer Medicine at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. In our exclusive interview, Drs Aldoss and Jabbour discussed findings from a post hoc subgroup analysis of the phase 3 PhALLCON trial (NCT03589326) that support the use of ponatinib monotherapy following combination treatment with a TKI plus chemotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed Ph-positive ALL, safety considerations when using ponatinib in this patient population, and how findings from this subgroup analysis may affect transplantation rates in this disease.

Attendees will also explore emerging data that could influence future treatment guidelines, patient case examples, and insights from international faculty to develop region-specific therapeutic strategies aligned with NCCN recommendations.

In this episode, Dr. Valentin Fuster discusses the ASSURE DES trial, which compared aspirin monotherapy to withholding antiplatelet therapy in stable patients with drug-eluting stents undergoing non-cardiac surgery. The trial found no significant difference in major adverse outcomes between the two strategies, though minor bleeding was more common in the aspirin group, leading to a recommendation to continue aspirin therapy for most patients undergoing low-to-intermediate risk surgery, with exceptions for those at high bleeding risk.

In this episode, Dr. Valentin Fuster reviews two pivotal phase three trials from China assessing the efficacy of the new monoclonal antibody, Katisha, for treating non-familial hypercholesterolemia. With significant reductions in LDL cholesterol and a long-acting, flexible dosing regimen, these studies promise a novel therapeutic option for patients struggling with cholesterol management and adherence to traditional treatments.

34th ESC 2024: Ticagrelor monotherapy vs. dual antiplatelet therapy

Welcome to the NeurologyLive® Mind Moments® podcast. Tune in to hear leaders in neurology sound off on topics that impact your clinical practice. In this episode, Daniel Ontaneda, MD, PhD, a staff member of the Cleveland Clinic Mellen Center for Multiple Sclerosis, provided an in-depth overview on the newly announced McDonald criteria to diagnose multiple sclerosis (MS). Ontaneda, who also serves as an assistant professor of neurology, discussed the most notable changes to the criteria and how it may help towards improving rates of misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis. He spoke on the incorporation of new biomarkers, such as central vein sign and paramagnetic rim lesions, and the ability to diagnose MS in stages before clinical presentation shows. Furthermore, Ontaneda gave some perspective on the areas of the new criteria that will take some time to adjust to, as well as how these criteria may change the philosophical perspective of the disease as a whole.  Looking for more Multiple sclerosis discussion?

The JHLT Digital Media Editors explore two manuscripts from the August issue of The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation—the first on immunosuppression in pediatric heart transplantation, and the second TA-NRP in DCD lung transplantation. Digital Media Editor Van-Khue Ton, MD, heart failure and transplant cardiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital, hosts this episode.   First, hear from senior author Steven C. Greenway, MSc, MD, on his team's study “Single-drug immunosuppression is associated with noninferior medium-term survival in pediatric heart transplant recipients.” Dr. Greenway shares his journey from enzyme biochemistry in mollusks, snails, and frogs to pediatric cardiology, then outlines the results of the paper.   The study queried the Pediatric Heart Transplant Society's registry to determine the efficacy and safety of monotherapy immunosuppression. The results showed better graft survival and less coronary allograft vasculopathy in the monotherapy group, even after adjusted for age at transplant, sex, neonatal transplant, infection, PTLD, and etiology of cardiomyopathy. Dr. Greenway and the digital media editors discuss the burning questions that obviously arise from the study's findings, the limitations of the paper, and what follow-up studies might start generating the answers that might eventually change clinical practice.   Next, the editors welcome first author Jad Malas, MD, to discuss the paper “The impact of thoracoabdominal normothermic regional perfusion on early outcomes in donation after circulatory death lung transplantation.” This study utilized the United Network of Organ Sharing (UNOS) database to identify DCD donors whose heart was procured in order to evaluate lung utilization rates and early post-lung transplant outcomes. Lung utilization was similar between the groups—14.9% for the NRP group and 13.8% for direct procurement. Post-lung transplant rates of ECMO and mechanical ventilation at 72 hours were not statistically different, and 6-month survival was equivalent.   Dr. Malas and the Digital Media Editors discuss the study's findings and implications, including exploring the background of NRP's relationship to lung allografts, differences in assessment or procurement techniques, and what might be needed to further evaluate this procurement technique for lung allografts.   Follow along at www.jhltonline.org/current, or, if you're an ISHLT member, log in at ishlt.org/journal-of-heart-lung-transplantation.  Don't already get the Journal and want to read along?

Acne might just be unmatched as an aesthetic concern for how visible and traumatizing it can be for patients. Yet truly significant improvements in acne treatments have been hard to come by. As Cutera SVP Steve Kreider notes in this interview with Dr. Grant Stevens, "I've been selling acne products for 17 years, and the standard of care hasn't fundamentally changed."Except that Cutera itself has now changed the game with AviClear, a laser treatment that offers a safe, prescription-free solution for acne. In addition to reducing existing acne, clinical trials show that future breakout episodes are shorter, less intense, and more infrequent following the AviClear procedure. Further, acne clearance results continue to improve over time, demonstrating the long-term efficacy of this novel treatment. Join us as Dr. Stevens explores all the details of this groundbreaking laser device, along with breaking news about a recent FDA clearance for AviClear, all on the latest episode of The Technology of Beauty.Show Notes:00:00 Intro00:27 Background06:53 Arrival at Cutera08:50 Treating acne with light-based technology09:47 Breaking news!11:54 Monotherapy vs. multi-factoral treatments13:24 Procedure description, patient comfort, recovery16:07 Off-face?
