Phase 2 study highlights flexible dosing options for tarlatamab in relapsed SCLC

Sat, 09/12/2026 - 07:49
Extended-interval dosing regimens of tarlatamab demonstrated efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetic profiles generally consistent with the established every-two-week regimen in patients with previously treated for small cell lung cancer (SCLC), according to results from the randomized Phase 2 DeLLphi-309 study presented at the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) 2026 World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC).

MD Anderson trial challenges local consolidative therapy paradigm in NSCLC

Sat, 09/12/2026 - 07:46
Adding local consolidative therapy (LCT) after induction treatment with nivolumab plus ipilimumab did not improve overall survival or progression-free survival in patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), including those with oligometastatic disease, according to results presented at the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) 2026 World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC).

Neoadjuvant atezolizumab addition quadruples pathological responses in resectable lung tumors

Sat, 09/12/2026 - 07:38
Patients with resectable stage II–IIIB non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with perioperative atezolizumab plus platinum-based chemotherapy experienced a median event-free survival of 62.8 months compared with 34.9 months for patients receiving chemotherapy alone, according to final results from the Phase 3 IMpower030 trial.

Low discontinuation rates confirm manageable safety of iza-bren

Sat, 09/12/2026 - 07:35
An investigational EGFR x HER3 antibody-drug conjugate demonstrated promising efficacy with a tolerable safety profile in patients with previously treated EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), supporting selection of the 2.5 mg/kg dose for evaluation in the global Phase 3 IZABRIGHT-Lung01 registrational study.

Tumor DNA clearance reaches 39% in novel immunomodulator and ADC combination

Sat, 09/12/2026 - 07:31
The investigational combination of pumitamig and elfetabart drozuntecan (elfe-D) demonstrated a manageable safety profile and encouraging early antitumor activity in patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC), according to first clinical data from the ongoing Phase 1b/2 BNT324-01 trial presented at the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) 2026 World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC).

Stricter glucose control may affect quality of life in people living with diabetes

Fri, 09/11/2026 - 20:33
New research to be presented at the Annual Meeting of The European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Milan, Italy (Sept 28 – Oct 2) shows that, in people living with diabetes (type 1 or 2) using data from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices paired with daily quality-of-life ratings, days with more widely fluctuating glucose readings (while still within safe limits) are followed by days with a better quality life compared to days with more stricter control– suggesting the burden of that stricter control could be preventing those individuals with stricter control from enjoying various activities.

Distinct EFEMP1 variants cause different forms of vision loss

Fri, 09/11/2026 - 20:26
Scientists identified a new vision condition linked to a gene already connected to a different vision-loss disease. While the previously identified disease causes loss of central vision, the new condition affects peripheral and night vision.

Rare cortical neurons actively promote the transition into sleep

Fri, 09/11/2026 - 20:22
What makes the brain fall asleep? For nearly a century, scientists have looked to structures deep within the brain for the answer.

New dendritic constrictions reveal hidden complexity in neuronal signaling

Fri, 09/11/2026 - 20:12
Neurons receive thousands of signals via tree-like extensions called dendrites. Until now, these dendrites were thought to be relatively smooth cables that conduct electrical signals to the cell body.

Obesity suppresses natural protection against breast cancer growth

Fri, 09/11/2026 - 19:48
A research team at Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah (the U) has found that obesity prevents a biological process that kills cancerous cells, revealing a possible reason why obesity is a risk factor for breast cancer.

Lupus-linked genetic variants may boost antiviral immunity

Fri, 09/11/2026 - 19:46
Why do genetic variants that increase the risk of autoimmune disease remain so common in the population?

Study links heritability and polygenicity across complex human traits

Fri, 09/11/2026 - 10:24
Researchers at the University of Oslo have mapped which parts of our DNA carry the inherited differences behind complex traits and disorders.

Scientists discover tiny protein region that shapes tooth enamel

Fri, 09/11/2026 - 10:17
Tooth enamel looks simple from the outside and consists of a hard, smooth surface built to withstand years of wear.

Study shows mRNA vaccines trigger more diverse flu antibody responses

Fri, 09/11/2026 - 09:21
Influenza remains a major global health challenge as continual antigenic drift can limit the breadth and durability of vaccine-induced antibody responses, requiring frequent vaccine updates.

Risk factors for cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic disease can be identified in young children

Fri, 09/11/2026 - 09:15
Risk factors for cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic disease, a health condition made up of heart disease, kidney disease, diabetes, and obesity, can be identified in children as young as 8, UTHealth Houston researchers discovered.

Giant-nucleus cells form the foundation of early-stage cancer

Fri, 09/11/2026 - 09:15
Iron is an essential micronutrient, but excess iron can damage cells and increase cancer risk. While many cells die from iron-induced oxidative stress, a subset survives and may become cancerous.

Finnish study finds working from home increases sedentary behavior

Fri, 09/11/2026 - 08:59
According to a Finnish study, people sleep slightly longer when they work from home. However, they also sit more and are less physically active than on days when they work in the office.

Early treatment significantly reduces joint damage in rheumatoid arthritis

Fri, 09/11/2026 - 08:55
Early and consistently managed treatment can have a decisive impact on the course of rheumatoid arthritis and prevent permanent joint damage.

Neighborhood environments impact long-term health of 9/11 responders

Fri, 09/11/2026 - 08:51
Twenty-five years after the September 11 terrorist attacks, researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have found that environmental conditions where World Trade Center responders live may influence their long-term physical and mental health.
