BioCentury This Week Ep. 122 - ASCO's Advances & Fixes for FDA's AdComms
Stellar ASCO data for Enhertu show how there’s “massive ground” that can still be covered and improved upon by applying new modalities against older targets, said Editor in Chief Simone Fishburn on the latest edition of BioCentury This Week. Fishburn and the BioCentury podcast team dig into the data for antibody-drug conjugate Enhertu from AstraZeneca and partner Daiichi Sankyo for previously treated HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer patients. They also assess how new modalities are breathing fresh life into HER3 and explore the themes raised by Fishburn in her conversation with Richard Pazdur, and some of his FDA colleagues at the American Society of Clinical Oncology conference in Chicago. The team also discusses the latest cut of data for tofersen from Biogen in SOD1-mutant amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
