Elahere, the first antibody-coupled drug (ADC) for refractory ovarian cancer, has received accelerated approval from the FDA, resulting in substantial tumour shrinkage in 31.7% of patients and complete tumour disappearance in 4.8%.

The FDA has granted accelerated approval to Adagrasib for the treatment of patients with KRAS G12C mutations in non-small cell lung cancer. In the trial, the drug resulted in disease control in 80% of patients, of which, 43% had substantial tumour shrinkage.

In recommendations released on 2 February 2023, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) recommends that doctors consider neratinib for patients with HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer, regardless of their estrogen receptor status.
