Revolution Medicines\u2019 experimental pancreatic cancer drug\u00a0has been the star of the oncology field in recent weeks, with new data showing the medicine produced unprecedented outcomes for patients, but its next act \u2014 this time as a co-lead \u2014 was just revealed, STAT<\/a> points out. Tango Therapeutics said that in an early-stage clinical trial, a combination of its drug vopimetostat and Revolution\u2019s daraxonrasib led to durable responses in the large majority of pancreatic cancer patients who received both medicines.\u00a0Tango\u2019s strategy of testing the two targeted drugs is notable because combination approaches in pancreatic cancer often include chemotherapy.

Lilly previously said that in one late-stage study, retatrutide helped people with diabetes lower blood sugar and lose a significant amount of weight, which is notable since those who have diabetes tend to lose less weight on treatment than those who do not. New data showed seven out of the 403 participants who received retatrutide experienced arrhythmias, and three treated participants experienced major cardiovascular complications, compared with none in the placebo group.<\/p>\n
