In the treatment of patients with rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis, a 6-month oral regimen consisting of bedaquiline, pretomanid, linezolid, and moxifloxacin (BPaLM) is safe and efficacious and compares favourably with standard of care, as shown in the final data from the phase IIB-III TB-PRACTECAL study.

A recent study has demonstrated the feasibility of molecular-based targeted therapy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)/hepato-cholangiocarcinoma (H-CCK) that progressed while under treatment with atezolizumab/bevacizumab.

Both mepolizumab and benralizumab are effective in improving the clinical outcomes of patients with severe eosinophilic asthma, as shown in a recent study. However, treatment with benralizumab appears to be better than mepolizumab in reducing exacerbations, improving forced expiratory volume, and depleting blood eosinophils.

In the treatment of patients with acute ischaemic stroke, treatment with exenatide does not appear to have any beneficial effect on neurological function at 7 days but is safe and substantially decreases the frequency of hyperglycaemic events, without leading to hypoglycaemia, according to the results of the phase II TEXAIS trial.

Updates from two MARIPOSA trials presented at ESMO Asia 2023 underpin the potential of amivantamab-based regimens for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (EGFRm NSCLC) in Asian subgroups.

In a study evaluating heavily pretreated patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (R/R MM), the combination of mezigdomide and dexamethasone showed promising preliminary efficacy, with myelosuppression and infection as primary toxicities.
