High blood pressure in childhood and premature cardiovascular disease mortality

JAMA

2025-09-07
(Press-News.org) About The Study: In a large sample of U.S. children born between 1959 and 1966, higher blood pressure (BP) at age 7 was associated with greater risk of premature cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. These findings build upon prior research that linked childhood systolic BP with fatal CVD in young adulthood, but that sample had a follow-up duration through a mean age of only 46 years. This study extends that work with follow-up into the mid-50s and demonstrated consistency in the magnitude of the associations within siblings, which mitigates concerns regarding unmeasured confounding due to shared family or lifestyle characteristics.

Zidesamtinib shows durable responses in ROS1 TKI pre-treated NSCLC, including patients with CNS disease and ROS1 G2032R mutations

2025-09-07
(Barcelona, Spain September 7, 2025, 10:45 a.m. CEST / UTC +2 ) — Zidesamtinib, an investigational next-generation ROS1 tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) designed to be highly selective, brain-penetrant, and TRK-sparing, demonstrated clinically meaningful activity and durability in patients with ROS1-positive (ROS1+) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who had progressed on prior TKI therapy.  ROS1-positive NSCLC occurs in approximately 1–2% of all NSCLC cases. The results from the Phase ...

Crizotinib fails to improve disease-free survival in resected early-stage ALK+ NSCLC

2025-09-07
(Barcelona, Spain September 7, 2025, 10:45 a.m. CEST / UTC +2 ) — Crizotinib, an approved treatment for advanced ALK-positive (ALK+) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), did not improve disease-free survival (DFS) when given as adjuvant therapy in patients with surgically resected early-stage ALK+ NSCLC, according to results from the Phase 3 E4512 trial presented at the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) 2025 World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC). The trial, conducted within the ALCHEMIST clinical trials program, ...

Ivonescimab plus chemotherapy improves progression-free survival in patients with EGFR+ NSCLC following 3rd-generation EGFR-TKI therapy

2025-09-07
Ivonescimab Plus Chemotherapy Improves Progression-Free Survival in Patients with EGFR+ NSCLC Following 3rd-Generation EGFR-TKI Therapy (Barcelona, Spain September 7, 2025, 10:45 a.m. CEST / UTC +2) — Adding ivonescimab, a first-in-class bispecific antibody targeting both PD-1 and VEGF, to chemotherapy significantly prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) compared to chemotherapy alone in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring EGFR mutations whose disease progressed on third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Results from the global Phase 3 HARMONi trial were presented today by Jonathan ...

FLAURA2 trial shows osimertinib plus chemotherapy improves overall survival in eGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC

2025-09-07
(Barcelona, Spain September 7, 2025, 10:45 a.m. CEST / UTC +2) Final overall survival (OS) results from the Phase III FLAURA2 trial demonstrate that first-line osimertinib plus chemotherapy significantly improves OS compared to osimertinib monotherapy in patients with EGFR-mutated (EGFRm) advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). These findings, presented today at the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) 2025 World Conference on Lung Cancer, support osimertinib plus chemotherapy as a new standard-of-care ...

Aumolertinib plus chemotherapy improves progression-free survival in NSCLC with EGFR and concomitant tumor suppressor genes: ACROSS 2 phase III study

Contact: Chris Martin, MPH IASLC Media Relations cmartin@davidjamesgroup.com (Barcelona, Spain September 7, 2025, 10:45 a.m. CEST / UTC +2) – New results from the ACROSS 2 Phase III trial demonstrate that aumolertinib combined with platinum-pemetrexed chemotherapy significantly improves progression-free survival compared to aumolertinib monotherapy in patients with advanced/metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring EGFR sensitizing mutations and concomitant tumor suppressor gene mutations. The results were presented by Dr. Jie Wang, National Cancer Center, ...
