AstraZeneca's Imfinzi sBLA for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) receives FDA priority review, with decision expected Q2 2025. Based on phase III NIAGARA study, Imfinzi showed reduced risk of disease progression/recurrence and death in MIBC patients.

Stefano Romeo's research identifies two types of steatotic liver disease: one aggressive, affecting the liver, and another linked to cardio-renal-metabolic syndrome. Genetic tests reveal 27 new variants, enabling risk score determination for tailored treatments. Parallel studies using unsupervised clustering confirm these findings, advancing precision medicine.

The phase III IMROZ trial found that adding isatuximab to bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (VRd) significantly reduced disease progression or death by 40% and doubled sustained MRD negativity rates in transplant-ineligible newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients ≤ 80 years old, establishing isatuximab/VRd as a new standard of care.
