ctDNA Helps Predict Recurrence in Real-World Analysis of Patients With Resected CRC
Stacey A. Cohen, MD, discusses the results of real-world analysis of patients with resected stage I-III colorectal cancer, how circulating tumor DNA status correlated with recurrence rates, and how these real-world data compared with previous observational studies.
A Newly Identified Genetic Mutation May Be Key to Developing Thymic Cancer Treatment
Recent developments in cancers of the thymus, a small organ located in the mediastinum above the heart, have shined a light on a malignancy that only affects about 400 Americans annually.
Futibatinib Approval Expands Options for Patients With FGFR2+ Cholangiocarcinoma
October 19th 2022The accelerated approval of the FGFR inhibitor futibatinib on September 30, 2022, has expanded options for previously treated adult patients with unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma FGFR2 fusions or rearrangements.1
Targeted Therapy Combinations Provide Multiple Treatment Options in BRAF-Mutated Melanoma
Jeff Yorio, MD, discussed the decision-making process for treating patients with BRAF-mutant melanoma, the use of immunotherapy in melanoma, and the management of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma.
Gilteritinib Induces Encouraging Responses in Newly Diagnosed FLT3-Mutated AML
Gilteritinib, in combination with induction and consolidation chemotherapy, generated responses in patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia, including those with FLT3 mutations, according to data from a phase 1 trial.
Increasingly Sensitive Genetic Testing Advances GI Cancer Diagnosis and Management
October 8th 2022John Lindsay Marshall, MD, discusses past, present, and future developments in molecular testing, as well as the unique offerings of tissue and blood tests and the ways in which these precise approaches will ultimately make cancer diagnosis and treatment more efficient and effective.
Sapanisertib Gets FDA Fast Track Status for Pretreated NRF2-Mutated Squamous NSCLC
The FDA has granted a fast track designation to sapanisertib as a potential therapeutic option in patients with unresected or metastatic squamous non–small cell lung cancer whose tumors harbor an NRF2 mutation and who have previously received platinum-based chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibition.
FDA Approves Futibatinib for FGFR2+ Cholangiocarcinoma
The FDA has granted an accelerated approval to futibatinib (Lytgobi) for adult patients with previously treated, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma harboring FGFR2 gene fusions or other rearrangements.
FDA Greenlights Companion Diagnostic for Selpercatinib in RET+ NSCLC and Thyroid Cancers
The FDA has approved the Oncomine Dx Target Test as a companion diagnostic to select patients with RET fusion–positive locally advanced or metastatic non–small cell lung cancer, advanced or metastatic thyroid cancer, and advanced or metastatic medullary thyroid cancer who could be candidates to receive selpercatinib.
FDA Approves Selpercatinib for Locally Advanced or Metastatic RET Fusion+ Solid Tumors
The FDA has granted accelerated approval to selpercatinib for adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors harboring a RET gene fusion that have progressed on or after previous systemic treatment or who have no satisfactory alternative treatment options.
FDA Grants Regular Approval to Selpercatinib for Locally Advanced or Metastatic RET+ NSCLC
The FDA has granted a regular approval to selpercatinib (Retevmo) for adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic non–small cell lung cancer harboring a RET gene fusion, as detected by an FDA-approved test.
Alpelisib Displays Clinical Benefit in Pediatric PIK3CA-Related Overgrowth Spectrum Disease
September 21st 2022Alpelisib decreased the need for surgery and led to improvements in performance status and disease-related signs and symptoms in pediatric patients with PIK3CA-related overgrowth spectrum disease who received treatment with the PI3K inhibitor under compassionate use.
ctDNA Could Serve as a Prognostic Tool in China for Predicting Outcomes in DLBCL
Results from a retrospective analysis presented during the 2022 ESMO Congress indicated that circulating tumor DNA could potentially be leveraged as a prognostic factor and a tumor-specific biomarker for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in China.
ADP-A2M4CD8 Shows Promising Activity Across MAGE-A4+ Unresectable or Metastatic Tumor Types
September 10th 2022An updated analysis of the phase 1 SURPASS trial showed that ADP-A2M4CD8, a next-generational autologous T-cell receptor designed to patients with solid tumors, may be an effective therapy in MAGE-A4-positive disease.
