Patients with advanced-stage classic Hodgkin lymphoma had a longer progression-free survival rate with Opdivo plus AVD, a chemotherapy regimen, compared with Adcetris plus AVD.

Jemperli plus carboplatin and paclitaxel also helped patients with early endometrial cancer maintain their health-related quality of life throughout follow-up.

Patients with ER-positive, triple-negative metastatic breast cancer treated with a HER3-direct antibody drug conjugate obtained clinical responses with a positive safety profile.

After a median follow-up of four years, the survival benefit, including progression-free survival persisted in patients with advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma treated with Lenvima plus Keytruda compared with those treated with Sutent.
