Ribociclib and Inavolisib Approvals Highlight Advances in Breast Cancer Care

At the 2024 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, experts discussed FDA approvals for ribociclib and inavolisib in HR+/HER2- BC, emphasizing treatment optimization, clinical trial design, and addressing ovarian/reproductive toxicities. Ribociclib's approval was based on NATALEE trial data showing improved invasive disease-free survival (iDFS) with safety concerns. Inavolisib, targeting PIK3CA mutations, showed improved progression-free survival (PFS) with post-marketing commitments for further evaluation. The session highlighted the need for comprehensive data analysis and monitoring of fertility impacts.

Tryptase Inhibitor Did Not Significantly Affect Time to Asthma Exacerbation

An 1800 mg dose of MTPS9579A, an anti-tryptase antibody, did not inhibit high tryptase levels in bronchial lining fluid (BLF) in uncontrolled asthma patients, according to studies published in *Allergy*. The phase 2a study, conducted from October 2019 to May 2022, did not achieve its primary endpoint of reducing exacerbation events. The phase 1c trial found MTPS9579A concentrations in BLF were 6.8-fold lower than in nasal lining fluid (NLF), and no correlations were found between NLF and BLF samples for active or total tryptase. The researchers concluded that tryptase remains an important target for asthma treatment despite the negative results.
