This episode covers the latest FDA approvals from May 29 to Jun 2, 2023. Here are the key highlights:

Pfizer's RSV vaccine, Abrysvo, has received FDA approval for use in adults aged 60 years or older, aimed at preventing lower respiratory tract disease caused by the RSV virus, based on results from the Phase 3 RENOIR clinical trial.

Given Memorial day on May 29, it was a light week at the FDA, so we included dome reporting from this week's ASCO annual meeting: 

The KEYNOTE-671 Phase 3 study presented at ASCO showed that adding pembrolizumab to neoadjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy, followed by adjuvant therapy after surgery, improved event-free survival in patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer, providing strong support for using PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in the neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings.

The DUO-O Phase 3 trial at ASCO revealed that a combination therapy of bevacizumab, durvalumab, and olaparib showed significantly better progression-free survival compared to bevacizumab monotherapy in newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer patients without BRCA mutations.

The NATALEE Phase 3 study presented at ASCO found that combining ribociclib, a CDK4/6 inhibitor, with endocrine therapy improved invasive disease-free survival in patients with stage IIB or III HR-positive/HER2-negative early breast cancer compared to endocrine therapy alone.
