Tumor-agnostic US Food and Drug Administration approvals are transforming oncology. They include larotrectinib/entrectinib/repotrectinib (NTRK fusions), selpercatinib (RET fusions), dabrafenib/trametinib (BRAF mutations), pembrolizumab/dostarlimab (microsatellite instability), pembrolizumab (high tumor mutational burden), and trastuzumab deruxtecan (HER2 3+ expression) (all solid cancers). Pemigatinib is approved for FGFR1-rearranged myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms.

The accelerated approval (AA) pathway was established by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to provide earlier access to therapies for patients with serious medical conditions and unmet medical needs. Since its inception, the AA pathway has been used for novel treatments across different therapeutic areas, but most prominently in oncology, including the immune checkpoint inhibitor class. This review article describes the history of regulatory approvals for pembrolizumab, an immunotherapy agent targeting programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1), and use of the AA pathway and the corresponding regulatory decisions made by the FDA.

Recent advancements in oncology have led to the development of histology-agnostic therapies, which target genetic alterations irrespective of the tumor's tissue of origin. This review aimed to provide a comprehensive update on the current state of histology-agnostic drug development, focusing on key therapies, including pembrolizumab, larotrectinib, entrectinib, dostarlimab, dabrafenib plus trametinib, selpercatinib, trastuzumab deruxtecan, and reprotrectinib. We performed a detailed analysis of each therapy's mechanism of action, clinical trial outcomes, and associated biomarkers.

Precision oncology and tumor-agnostic drug development provide hope for enhancing outcomes among patients with pancreatic cancer. Tumor-agnostic therapies have emerged across various tumor types, driven by insights into shared biomarkers. In the case of pancreatic cancer, the prevalence of the KRAS gene mutation is noteworthy.
