Oncology Breakthroughs Could Impact Dentistry


Taiho Oncology, Inc., a company developing and commercializing novel treatments for hematologic malignancies and solid tumors, announced that it will present new data from five studies, including two oral presentations, at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, to be held May 30 through June 3 at McCormick Place in Chicago.

The oral presentations will feature data regarding ASTX727 (oral decitabine-cedazuridine), an agent approved for myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), paired with venetoclax for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and the novel investigational drug candidate zipalertinib for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations.

The company will also share data on three real-world studies of two FDA-approved therapies: trifluridine and tipiracil paired with bevacizumab for the later-line treatment of adult patients with metastatic colorectal cancer, and futibatinib for the treatment of adult patients with previously treated, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

“ASCO provides an invaluable opportunity to bring together the leading minds in oncology and discuss emerging new therapies and our understanding of real-world outcomes of existing therapies,” said Harold Keer, MD, PhD, Chief Medical Officer, Taiho Oncology. “Our data at ASCO will continue to demonstrate our unwavering commitment to meaningful innovation that can potentially improve the lives of patients with cancer, their families, and their caregivers.”
