Neoadjuvant Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab for Early HER2-Positive Breast Cancer: A Real World Experience

Benjamin James Hall et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the real-world efficacy and toxicity of neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with dual HER2 directed therapy for HER2-positive breast cancer patients in a UK tertiary referral cancer center. The results showed that this combined treatment can effectively reduce tumor burden in patients, but the pCR rate is lower in ER and PgR-positive breast cancer.

Cancer Therapy Approval Timings, Review Speed, and Publication of Pivotal Registration Trials in the US and Europe, 2010-2019

Mark P. Lythgoe et al.

Summary: This study compared the market authorization dates for new oncology therapies approved in the US and Europe over the past decade, and examined and contrasted the regulatory activities of the FDA and EMA in the approval of new cancer medicines. The results showed that the US approved oncology therapies earlier than Europe, with the FDA receiving licensing applications sooner and having shorter review times.

Palbociclib in combination with aromatase inhibitors in patients ≥ 75 years with oestrogen receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative advanced breast cancer: A real-world multicentre UK study

Salma El Badri et al.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the tolerability and efficacy of palbociclib + AI in treating advanced breast cancer in patients over 75 years old, showing that the treatment is effective and well-tolerated in the older population. The clinical benefit rate was high, and dose reductions and delays did not affect survival outcomes. Geriatric and frailty assessments can help guide treatment decisions in these patients.

Assessment of Coverage in England of Cancer Drugs Qualifying for US Food and Drug Administration Accelerated Approval

Avi Cherla et al.

Summary: This study compared FDA accelerated approval decisions for cancer drugs with NICE coverage decisions, revealing that 30 cancer drug indications granted accelerated approval by the FDA were not subsequently reviewed by European regulators or NICE, and 12 drugs were denied authorization or coverage due to insufficient safety, clinical efficacy, or cost-effectiveness. Coverage of cancer drugs by the National Health Service commonly required additional price concessions, restrictions to approved indications, or review of additional data.
