The second-generation BTK* inhibitor zanubrutinib was superior to the standard-of-care ibrutinib in improving progression-free survival (PFS) among patients with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (R/R CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), according to results of the phase III ALPINE trial presented at ASH 2022.

Etanercept biosimilar demonstrates long-term safety, efficacy in rheumatoid arthritis

14 Jan 2023

YLB113, a biosimilar of the reference product etanercept, appears to be safe for long-term treatment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, with efficacy sustained for up to 96 weeks, according to a study. Notably, the biosimilar is associated with fewer cases of injection-site reactions and injection-site erythema compared with the reference.
