Number 4: Studies of single-agent immune checkpoint inhibitors in ovarian cancer have shown limited activity, but combination therapy with bevacizumab may hold promise.
Number 3: Researchers report that an unfolding microneedle injector could be a feasible delivery device for biologic drugs like insulin.
Number 2: A new study from the Nordic region shows similar retention rates for patients who start treatment with reference or biosimilar infliximab or etanercept.
Number 1: Data presented during the European Society for Medical Oncology Asia Congress 2019, held last week in Singapore, support the biosimilarity of HLX02 and Herceptin.
