Botulism cases linked to Botox injections under investigation in Massachusetts
Massachusetts health officials are investigating four recent cases of suspected botulism connected to cosmetic injections of Botox. The outbreak on the South Shore prompted the Department of Public Health to warn health care providers to be alert about symptoms. consistent with botulism occurring after botulinum toxin injections. Botox is widely used for cosmetic purposes to reduce wrinkles and fine lines. 'While generally safe when administered by trained professionals, improper dosing, administration technique, or use of non-FDA-approved products may increase the risk of systemic botulism symptoms,' the DPH advisory said. Botulism, though rare, can be fatal. It occurs when botulinum toxin enters the bloodstream and can produce effects far from the injection site, according to the advisory. Initial botulism symptoms include double or blurred vision, drooping eyelids, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing and breathing problems, according to state health officials. These symptoms may progress to muscle weakness that worsens over hours to days. Anybody who is experiencing any symptoms should go to an emergency room. 'This is very rare,' South Shore Hospital infectious disease specialist Dr. Todd Ellerin told WCVB. 'We call it iatrogenic botulism, which means you get it as a complication of an injection. It is very rare.' The DPH has not released details about the condition of the four individuals involved in the South Shore cases or information about the provider or facility where they received their injections.

Costco goes bananas to protect members from tariffs
As a general rule, it's a good idea for retailers to offer outstanding customer service. But Costco takes that concept a step further than most. Costco is known not only for its extremely competitive prices, but also for one of the most flexible return policies in all of retail. Buy something you don't like or whose quality isn't up to par, and with very few exceptions, you can bring it back for a full refund at any time. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Costco does other things to offer great value to members. It keeps a close eye on its inventory, while aiming to introduce new products from which customers can benefit. Related: Costco plans new checkout option members should love And you can bet that Costco keeps tabs on prices, too. The warehouse club giant prides itself on offering unbeatable deals. Those extend to everything from groceries to household essentials to electronics. Even though the tariff situation is still evolving, it has retailers spooked across the board. Many retailers rely on foreign trade partners to source goods. And they know that if tariffs drive the cost of goods upward, they're going to have to pass at least some of that increase onto consumers. Related: Costco quietly drops popular product, saddens fans Unfortunately, consumers can't afford to be paying more at the register at a time when inflation is still a problem. So it's a tough situation overall. Recently, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon acknowledged that the company might have to raise prices in response to tariffs. Even though he noted that Walmart would do its best to avoid tariff-related increases, he owned up to the fact that the company probably would not be able to absorb all of the extra costs on its own. If a giant like Walmart is sounding tariff warnings, you can bet that smaller retailers will be looking at raising prices, too. They may simply have no choice. While many retailers are sounding alarms on tariffs, Costco is doing the opposite. During the company's most recent earnings call, the Costco leadership team reassured investors that it had the tariff situation under control. "We're remaining agile as a situation with tariffs evolves," CEO Ron Vachris said. "As an example of this, during the third quarter, we rerouted many goods sourced from countries with large tariff exposure to our non-U.S. markets." Related: Costco brings back food court favorite, but members aren't happy In addition to moving goods strategically, Costco also intentionally held prices steady on key grocery items, even if that meant eating into profits. During that same last earnings call, CFO Gary Millerchip called out two such items – pineapples and bananas. "We felt it was important to really eliminate the impact there for the member," Millerchip explained. "We essentially held the price on those to make sure that we're protecting the member." In addition to keeping prices steady on key produce items, Costco also lowered prices on essential items like butter, eggs, and olive oil, Millerchip said. More Retail: Walmart CEO sounds alarm on a big problem for customersTarget makes a change that might scare Walmart, CostcoTop investor takes firm stance on troubled retail brandWalmart and Costco making major change affecting all customers To be fair, Costco isn't just holding and lowering prices out of the goodness of its heart. The company relies on membership fees for a huge chunk of its revenue. So Costco is invested in making members happy by keeping prices as stable as possible. But regardless of the company's motives for keeping prices low, Costco members still benefit. And at a time when so many retailers may be looking at price increases, Costco's commitment to shielding members from tariffs can't be overlooked. Maurie Backman owns shares of Costco.

The British Medical Journal Publishes Study Results on Sacituzumab Tirumotecan for Previously Treated EGFR-Mutant Advanced NSCLC
CHENGDU, China, June 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sichuan Kelun-Biotech Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd. ("Kelun-Biotech", today announced that results from its registrational study (OptiTROP-Lung03) evaluating sacituzumab tirumotecan (sac-TMT) versus docetaxel in patients with previously treated advanced EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have been published in The British Medical Journal (impact factor: 93.6). These data were also presented as an oral presentation in the Lung Cancer—Non–Small Cell Metastatic session (Abstract #8507) at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting. Based on the encouraging data from this study, sac-TMT was approved for marketing by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) for the treatment of adult patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutant-positive locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC following progression on EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy and platinum-based chemotherapy in March 2025. This marks the first global approval of a TROP2 ADC for a lung cancer indication. The published results are based on OptiTROP-Lung03, an open-label, randomized, multicenter registrational study evaluating the efficacy and safety profile of sac-TMT monotherapy versus docetaxel for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic EGFR-mutant NSCLC who have failed after treatment with an EGFR-TKI and platinum-based chemotherapy. A total of 137 patients with advanced EGFR-mutant NSCLC who had progressed after EGFR-TKI and platinum-based chemotherapy were randomized (2:1) to receive sac-TMT (5 mg/kg once every 2 weeks) or docetaxel (75 mg/m2 once every 3 weeks) until disease progression, intolerable toxicity or other reason for discontinuation, with a median follow-up time of 12.2 months (Data cutoff date: December 31, 2024). Sac-TMT achieved statistically significant and clinically meaningful outcomes compared to docetaxel: Confirmed objective response rate (ORR) (As assessed by blinded independent review committee (BIRC): 45% (95% CI, 35-56) vs 16% (95% CI, 7-30). Median progression-free survival (PFS) (As assessed by BIRC: 6.9 months [sac-TMT; 95% CI, 5.4-8.2] vs 2.8 months [docetaxel; 95% CI, 1.6-4.1], hazard ratio (HR)= 0.30 [range, 0.20 -0.46], one-sided p<0.0001; as assessed by investigator (INV): 7.9 months [sac-TMT; 95% CI, 6.2-9.5] vs 2.8 months [docetaxel; 95% CI, 1.5-3.8], HR=0.23 [95% CI, 0.15-0.36], one-sided p<0.0001). With 36.4% of patients in docetaxel group crossing over to receive sac-TMT, median overall survival (OS) was not reached (NR) for both groups (HR=0.49; 95% CI, 0.27-0.88; one-sided p=0.007). The median OS analysed by pre-specified rank-preserving structural failure time (RPSFT) model adjusted for crossover was 9.3 months for docetaxel and NR for sac-TMT (HR=0.36; 95% CI, 0.20-0.66). Efficacy benefit favored patients with sac-TMT over docetaxel across all pre-specified subgroups, including prior EGFR-TKI therapy, brain metastases, EGFR mutation type, etc. Grade ≥ 3 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurred in 56.0% of patients in sac-TMT group vs 71.7% in docetaxel group. The results demonstrated that sac-TMT monotherapy achieved statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) compared to docetaxel, with a manageable safety profile. Sac-TMT is being extensively studied in the NSCLC field. Covering treatment settings from later-line therapy to early-stage postoperative adjuvant therapy, including both monotherapy and combination regimens. Currently, five company-led registrational clinical studies for sac-TMT in NSCLC are underway in China. Meanwhile, Merck Sharp & Dohme（the tradename of Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA）is also conducting five global Phase III clinical trials of sac-TMT for NSCLC in regions where it has exclusive rights. Professor Li Zhang, National Lead Principal Investigator, Medical Oncologist and Deputy Director of the Lung Cancer Research Centre at Sun Yat-Sen University, stated: "EGFR mutation is the most common driver alteration in NSCLC. The prevalence of EGFR mutations reaches 28.2% among NSCLC patients in China. Although third-generation EGFR-TKIs have become the standard of care for advanced EGFR-mutant NSCLC and may significantly improve PFS, acquired resistance remains inevitable. Combining EGFR-TKIs with chemotherapy can offer additional survival benefits to some patients, but this approach is limited by safety concerns and may compromise future treatment options, posing significant clinical challenges. The publication of the OptiTROP-Lung03 study in the British Medical Journal marks a major milestone—not only highlighting international recognition of this study outcomes in lung cancer, but also demonstrating the global competitiveness of sac-TMT as a novel TROP2 ADC." Dr. Michael Ge, CEO of Kelun-Biotech, commented: "We are thrilled to see the OptiTROP-Lung03 study published in a top-tier journal. Currently, EGFR-TKIs and chemotherapy remain the standard of care for patients with EGFR-mutant advanced NSCLC, but the challenge of increasing efficacy with manageable tolerability. The results from OptiTROP-Lung03 highlight significant survival benefits with manageable safety profile and suggest that sac-TMT could emerge as a new standard of care for this population. We remain committed to working with our partners to establish sac-TMT as a new standard of care for this patient population and improve outcomes for lung cancer patients worldwide."

NSCLC expressing PD-L1 >50% pre-treated NSCLC with EGFR mutations or other genomic alterations EGFR-mutated, advanced non-squ NSCLC progressed on prior EGFR-TK metastatic sg NSCLC About sac-TMT Sac-TMT, a core product of the Company, is a novel human TROP2 ADC in which the Company has proprietary intellectual property rights, targeting advanced solid tumors such as NSCLC, BC, gastric cancer (GC), gynecological tumors, among others. Sac-TMT is developed with a novel linker to conjugate the payload, a belotecan-derivative topoisomerase I inhibitor with a drug-to-antibody-ratio (DAR) of 7.4. Sac-TMT specifically recognizes TROP2 on the surface of tumor cells by recombinant anti-TROP2 humanized monoclonal antibodies, which is then endocytosed by tumor cells and releases KL610023 intracellularly. KL610023, as a topoisomerase I inhibitor, induces DNA damage to tumor cells, which in turn leads to cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis. In addition, it also releases KL610023 in the tumor microenvironment. Given that KL610023 is membrane permeable, it can enable a bystander effect, or in other words kill adjacent tumor cells. In May 2022, the Company licensed the exclusive rights to MSD (the tradename of Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA) to develop, use, manufacture and commercialize sac-TMT in all territories outside of Greater China (includes Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan). To date, two indications for sac-TMT have been approved and marketed in China for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic TNBC who have received at least two prior systemic therapies (at least one of them for advanced or metastatic setting) based on the OptiTROP-Breast01 study and EGFR mutation-positive locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC following progression on EGFR-TKI therapy and platinum-based chemotherapy based on the OptiTROP-Lung03 study. Sac-TMT became the first domestic ADC with global intellectual property rights to be fully approved for marketing. It is also the world's first TROP2 ADC to be approved for marketing in a lung cancer indication. In addition, two new indication applications for sac-TMT for the treatment of adult patients with EGFR-mutant locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who progressed after treatment with EGFR-TKI therapy and with unresectable locally advanced, metastatic hormone receptor-positive (HR+) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) BC who have received prior endocrine therapy and other systemic treatments in the advanced or metastatic setting were accepted by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA), and were reviewed via the priority review and approval process. As of today, the Company has initiated 8 registrational clinical studies in China. MSD has initiated 14 ongoing Phase 3 global clinical studies of sac-TMT as a monotherapy or with pembrolizumab or other agents for several types of cancer. These studies are sponsored and led by MSD.
