Last Week in Biomedicine | May 30 – Jun 5 | Part 2 of 2: Talzenna Prostate Combo, IgG4 Disease First

From a prostate cancer combo that uses your tumor's own broken DNA-repair against it, to the first drug ever to succeed in a rare autoimmune disease called IgG4-related disease — Part 2 of our weekly biomedicine recap covers three more major readouts from the week of May 30 – June 5, 2026. In Part 2 we cover:4. Pfizer — Talazoparib plus enzalutamide for metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer with DNA-repair mutations (Phase 3)5. Zenas BioPharma — Obexelimab for IgG4-related disease (Phase 3)6. Karyopharm Therapeutics — Selinexor plus ruxolitinib for myelofibrosis (Phase 3)The IgG4-RD result may be the most quietly historic of the week: IgG4-related disease is a rare autoimmune condition where misbehaving B cells form fibrotic masses in organs throughout the body, and there has never been an approved therapy — patients rely on steroids long-term. Obexelimab, a clever 'bifunctional' antibody that calms B cells without killing them, cut the risk of disease flare by 56% in a 52-week Phase 3 trial — the first positive Phase 3 ever in this disease, published in the New England Journal of Medicine. We explain what makes the antibody design unusual and why a positive trial here could change rare-disease drug development more broadly.Catch Part 1 if you missed it.
