Selpercatinib & More!

We now have a RET inhibitor, selpercatinib. This new drug for NSCLC and thyroid cancer is discussed as well as RET in general as a target. Then, we cover olaparib's latest approval for use in conjunction WITH bevacizumab for maintenance in HRD ovarian cancer based on PAOLA-1 (19:30). Finally, we run through IMBrave 150 (atezolizumab + bevacizumab) which may establish a new standard of care in HCC (22:20) and briefly discuss olanzapine for cancer-associated N/V and Ivosidenib for IDH1-mutated cholangiocarcninoma.
