Metrics & Benchmarks

The FDA has approved Eli Lilly’s Inluriyo (imlunestrant), the first oral estrogen receptor antagonist for adults with ER-positive, HER2-negative, ESR1-mutated advanced or metastatic breast cancer, based on Phase III EMBER-3 results showing a 38% reduction in risk of progression or death versus endocrine therapy.

Based on Phase III DESTINY-Breast09 results showing a 44% reduction in risk of progression or death versus standard therapy, AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo’s Enhertu-pertuzumab combination could mark the first major advance in this treatment setting in over a decade.

In Stage 1 of the Phase II LANTIC study, Ipsen’s novel recombinant molecule IPN10200 met its primary endpoint with significant improvement at week 4 versus placebo and showed longer duration of effect versus Dysport, with most patients maintaining meaningful response at week 24.

Real-world data from more than 58,000 older adults with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease demonstrate that semaglutide lowers the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events, reinforcing its differentiated profile among GLP-1 receptor agonists.

An interim analysis of the TULIP-SC trial found that weekly subcutaneous delivery of Saphnelo significantly reduced disease activity in patients with moderate to severe SLE, offering a more convenient option with a safety profile consistent with IV administration.

Full patient enrollment in REVEAL-1 (NCT06812325) and REVEAL-2 (NCT06625398) trials mark a key milestone for VRDN-003, Viridian’s promising new therapy for thyroid eye disease.

Preliminary Phase IV trial results show that Moderna’s 2025–2026 Spikevax formula boosted neutralizing antibodies more than eight-fold in high-risk adults and older populations against COVID-19.

The Phase II trial (NCT07145229) will evaluate the safety, efficacy, and pharmacodynamics of ABP-745 compared with placebo and standard colchicine therapy in over 200 patients with acute gout flares.

The IDeate-Lung01 trial showed a 48% confirmed response rate with Merck’s B7-H3 directed antibody-drug conjugate in previously treated extensive-stage small cell lung cancer, with durable benefit observed across second- and later-line patients, including those with brain metastases.

Interim results from the ongoing Phase IV LOTUS trial showed that Daybue delivered sustained behavioral improvements and manageable gastrointestinal outcomes in Rett syndrome patients over one year.

Results from the Phase III STRIDE-13 trial (NCT06177912) showed that Merck’s Capvaxive was noninferior to PPSV23 in children and adolescents aged 2 to <18 years who are at increased risk of pneumococcal disease due to chronic medical conditions.

The FDA-approved therapy is now included in National Comprehensive Cancer Network clinical guidelines as a treatment option for both pediatric and adult patients with aggressive H3 K27M-mutant diffuse gliomas, offering a new standard of care for recurrent disease.

Results from the two-year AVONELLE-X extension study (NCT04777201) and the Phase IIIb/IV SALWEEN trial showed that Roche’s Vabysmo demonstrated durable vision improvements, extended dosing potential, and reliable safety treating wet age-related macular degeneration and polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy.

The pivotal trial showed Eli Lilly’s non-covalent BTK inhibitor pirtobrutinib significantly improved progression-free survival over bendamustine plus rituximab in untreated CLL/SLL patients, with overall survival trending in favor of Jaypirca.

Results from a Phase II trial (NCT06449209) showed that BioNTech’s and Bristol Myers Squibb’s pumitamig in combination with standard chemotherapy demonstrated encouraging anti-tumor activity in patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer.

Five-year results from the Phase III EMPOWER-Lung 3 trial show Libtayo combined with chemotherapy achieved a 19.4% overall survival rate versus 8.8% with chemotherapy alone, with notable benefit in squamous NSCLC patients reaching a median overall survival of 22.3 months.

Results from the Phase III ASCEND trial (NCT05882877) showed rocatinlimab maintained long-term efficacy with a favorable safety profile, offering potential for extended dosing intervals in adults with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis.

Results from the Phase III FLAUR2 trial (NCT04035486) showed that Tagrisso combined with pemetrexed and platinum-based chemotherapy achieved a median overall survival of 47.5 months in patients with locally advanced or metastatic EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer.

Results from the Phase III HARMONi trial (NCT06396065) showed that ivonescimab demonstrated a median overall survival rate of 16.8 months in patients with EGFR-mutated, locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer.

Results from a Phase III trial (NCT07069309) demonstrated that the LP.8.1-adapted Comirnaty vaccine generated a robust fourfold increase in neutralizing antibodies of COVID-19.

Phase IIa trial (NCT06413537) results show SPG601 improves neurophysiological and cognitive measures in patients with Fragile X syndrome.

Results from the Phase II EPCORE NHL-6 trial (NCT05451810) showed that Epkinly demonstrated an overall response rate of 64.3% in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Designation supports the potential of olomorasib plus Keytruda to address unmet needs in the first-line treatment of patients with KRAS G12C-mutant non-small lung cancer with high PD-L1 expression.

Results from the Phase IV V-DIFFERENCE trial (NCT05192941) found that 85% of patients on Leqvio reached guideline-recommended LDL-C targets versus 31% on placebo at 90 days.
