Social Analysis

  • 17 LinkedIn posts, 5 Facebook posts, 1 Instagram post and 2 tweets collectively highlighted that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted and granted priority review to a supplemental biologics license application (sBLA) for sacituzumab govitecan-hziy (Trodelvy) for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer.

This sBLA is based on data from the registrational phase 3 TROPiCS-02 clinical trial (NCT03901339), which met its primary endpoint of progression-free      survival (PFS) and key secondary endpoint of overall survival (OS) compared to physician’s choice of chemotherapy.

  • 2 LinkedIn posts, 1 Facebook, 1 Instagram post and 1 tweet discussed the second interim analysis results of OlympiA clinical trial (NCT02032823) and mentioned that, with 3.5 years of median follow-up, OlympiA demonstrated statistically significant improvement in overall survival (OS) with adjuvant olaparib compared with placebo for patients with pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in germline BRCA1 or BRCA2 and high-risk, HER2-negative early breast cancer. The findings were published in the Annals of Oncology journal on 10th October 2022
  • 10 tweets, 2 LinkedIn posts and 2 Facebook posts collectively highlighted the results from ELAINE- 2 clinical trial (NCT04432454) and stated that lasofoxifene, when combined with abemaciclib (Verzenio), a CDK 4/6 inhibitor, demonstrated promising clinical activity and had a favorable risk-to-benefit ratio for the treatment of pre- and postmenopausal patients with ER-positive/HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer who harbor an ESR1 mutation and whose disease had progressed on prior therapies
  • 3 LinkedIn posts, 3 Facebook posts, 1 Reddit post and 1 tweet collectively highlighted the announcement by Atossa Therapeutics and mentioned that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has lifted the clinical hold and authorized initiation of the phase 2 neoadjuvant clinical study of (Z)-endoxifen in premenopausal women with early-stage estrogen receptor positive (ER+) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) breast cancer. This is the first study of Atossa’s proprietary (Z)-endoxifen in the United States
  • 3 LinkedIn posts, 1 Facebook post and 1 Instagram post discussed the positive high-level results from the CAPItello-291 Phase III trial and mentioned that AstraZeneca’s capivasertib (AZD5363) in combination with fulvestrant (Faslodex) showed statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) compared with placebo plus fulvestrant in patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-low or negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer, following recurrence or progression on or after endocrine therapy
