- Daraxonrasib demonstrated a survival benefit by doubling the average lifespan of advanced pancreatic cancer patients from 6.7 to 13.2 months in a large clinical trial.
- The drug targets a common KRAS gene mutation that causes uncontrollable cancer cell growth in over 90% of pancreatic cancer cases.
- The FDA has fast-tracked daraxonrasib and approved expanded access for patients outside of clinical trials.
- Researchers are investigating daraxonrasib’s potential effectiveness against lung, colon, ovarian, and other KRAS-mutated cancers.
Now the floodgates open.— Dr. Brian Wolpin, who led research on daraxonrasib and directs the Hale Family Center for Pancreatic Cancer Research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, said this in the context of expanding treatment to other cancers.

- Jordan and Cian Adams completed their 32nd and final marathon in Dublin to support dementia research.
- Both brothers carry a gene with a 99.9% chance of developing frontotemporal dementia and honored 12 lost relatives.
- Their campaign drew nationwide support, raising €1.7 million for Alzheimer’s Ireland and the FTD Foundation.
- Government officials pledged increased funding for dementia services, including a national expert center and enhanced home care.
Now, what we need is better help for people who are caring for a loved one with dementia. So many people out there will feel alone and ignored through no fault of their own just for caring for a loved one.— Glenn Adams, father of the FTD brothers, speaking to RTÉ News after the Dublin finish, calling for better support for dementia carers

- The BA.3.2 variant, nicknamed 'Cicada,' was first detected in South Africa in November 2024 and has since appeared in 23 nations.
- This highly divergent lineage carries spike protein mutations that may affect transmissibility and immune evasion.
- Between November 2025 and January 2026, BA.3.2 represented about 30% of sequenced COVID-19 cases in Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands.
- Despite low UK case numbers, the variant is likely circulating domestically due to international travel and widespread European presence.
