Updated phase 2 IOV-LUN-202 data show Iovance’s TIL cell therapy lifileucel produced a 24.6% response rate in previously treated non-squamous metastatic NSCLC, rising to 52.0% in KRAS and HER2 wild-type patients, as the company launches a biomarker-enriched registrational cohort.

The proposed FDA guidance would let sponsors add patient-specific gene editing variants to approved BLAs via in vitro data, with comments due November 27, 2026.

In the 80-week phase 3 TRANSCEND-T2D-2 trial in adults with type 2 diabetes, Eli Lilly’s GIP/GLP-1/glucagon triple agonist retatrutide lowered A1C by 2.2% and body weight by up to 20.9%, compared with 1.8% and 9.4% with Ozempic 2 mg.

Genmab’s petosemtamab plus pembrolizumab cuts the risk of death by 50% in phase 3 head and neck cancer, AbbVie submits a BLA for etentamig in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, and Benitec reports interim data for BB-301 gene therapy in OPMD-related dysphagia.

Direct-to-Biology workflows move crude reaction mixtures straight into assays, giving hit-to-lead teams earlier data to guide series selection.

The EGFR×LGR5 bispecific antibody met both primary endpoints, overall survival and objective response rate, at the first interim analysis of LiGeR-HN1 in first-line PD-L1-positive recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer.

Catalent Pharma Solutions's Dr Karunakar Sukuru explains how peptide potency, dose, and patient needs guide the choice between softgel and sublingual dosage forms.

Long-term phase 2 data presented at ESMO 2026 show 3SBio’s tivunatamig plus chemotherapy extended progression-free survival vs tislelizumab plus chemotherapy in squamous and non-squamous NSCLC.

All 9 patients treated with BB-301 gene therapy met formal response criteria for improved swallowing in an ongoing OPMD trial.

Etentamig cut the risk of progression or death by 60% vs standard therapies in the phase 3 CERVINO trial of triple-class exposed myeloma.

Anurag Rathore, PhD, professor of chemical engineering at IIT Delhi, explains how his team cuts monoclonal antibody costs without cutting purification steps, and why the $10-per-gram target could make antibodies viable for infectious disease and global access.

Adalvo’s purchase of Enzene’s Nplate biosimilar program extends it into biologics and moves Enzene toward a CDMO-only model.

At AAPS PharmSci 360, Thermo Fisher Scientific scientists described how predictive modeling guides technology selection for poorly soluble drugs, and outlined plans to bring solvent-free KinetiSol technology to commercial scale in 2027.

Speaking at AAPS PharmSci 360, Dr Stephanie Johnson, a principal formulation scientist at Pfizer, details how platform formulations save time before commitment, shift risk downstream, and what AI tools need to earn trust.

BMS and SystImmune’s bispecific ADC iza-bren nearly doubles progression-free survival in EGFR-mutated lung cancer, GSK and Hansoh’s B7-H3 ADC Ris-Rez extends progression-free survival in relapsed osteosarcoma, and Immatics’ TCR bispecific IMA402 posts a 32% response rate in PRAME-high tumors.
