Pembrolizumab Plus Chemo Does Not Significantly Improve Survival in TKI-resistant, EGFR+ NSCLC
The addition of pembrolizumab to pemetrexed and platinum-based chemotherapy resulted in a numerical, but not statistically significant, improvement in progression-free survival or overall survival vs chemotherapy plus placebo in patients with TKI-resistant, EGFR-mutated, metastatic nonsquamous non–small cell lung cancer.
Avutometinib Plus Defactinib Demonstrates Promising Activity in Recurrent LGSOC
June 6th 2023Treatment with avutometinib plus defactinib elicited high responses among patients with recurrent low grade serous ovarian cancer compared with avutometinib monotherapy, supporting the use of the combination in this patient population regardless of KRAS status, according to data from the RAMP 201 trial.
FDA Grants Priority Review to Dostarlimab Plus Chemo for dMMR/MSI-H Endometrial Cancer
The FDA has accepted and granted priority review to a supplemental biologics license application seeking the approval of dostarlimab plus chemotherapy for use in adult patients with mismatch repair–deficient/microsatellite instability–high primary advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer.
Extended Lymphadenectomy Does Not Lead to Survival Benefit in MIBC
June 6th 2023Extended lymphadenectomy at the time of radical cystectomy did not produce a significant improvement in disease-free survival (DFS) or overall survival (OS) vs standard lymphadenectomy for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
Fianlimab/Cemiplimab Demonstrates Early Clinical Activity and Safety in Advanced Melanoma
June 6th 2023The LAG-3 inhibitor fianlimab plus cemiplimab produced high and consistent tumor responses and a comparable toxicity profile to that of anti–PD-L1 monotherapies in patients with advanced melanoma who were PD-L1 inhibitor–naïve in the advanced setting, according to data from a phase 1 study.
ZUMA-7 Primary OS Analysis Supports Use of Axi-cel As Second-line SOC in R/R LBCL
June 6th 2023Second-line treatment with axicabtagene ciloleucel significantly improved overall survival compared with high-dose therapy plus autologous stem cell transplant in patients with early relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma.
Sintilimab Plus Chemoradiotherapy Improves EFS in Locally Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
June 6th 2023The addition of sintilimab to chemoradiotherapy demonstrated a significant reduction in the risk of disease recurrence or death, distant metastasis and locoregional recurrence compared with chemoradiotherapy alone as frontline therapy in patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma, according to findings from the phase 3 CONTINUUM trial.
Sacituzumab Govitecan Displays OS Benefit in Pretreated HR+/HER2– Breast Cancer
June 6th 2023Sacituzumab govitecan demonstrated an overall survival benefit vs physician's choice of treatment in patient with pretreated, endocrine-resistant, hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer.
Cabozantinib/Atezolizumab Combo Misses PFS, OS End Points in ICI-Treated, Advanced RCC
The addition of atezolizumab to cabozantinib did not improve progression-free survival or overall survival vs cabozantinib alone in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma who previously received treatment with an immune checkpoint inhibitor, missing the primary end points of the phase 3 CONTACT-03 trial.
ABBV-011 Showcases Early Tolerability, Antitumor Activity in Small Cell Lung Cancer
The SEZ6-targeted antibody-drug conjugate ABBV-011, when administered at 1 mg/kg every 3 weeks, was found to be well tolerated and to demonstrate early efficacy in patients with relapsed or refractory small cell lung cancer.
Cilta-cel Possesses Potential to Be New SOC for Lenalidomide-refractory Myeloma After First Relapse
Ciltacabtagene autoleucel significantly improved progression-free survival over standard-of-care pomalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone or daratumumab, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone in patients with lenalidomide-refractory multiple myeloma who received 1 to 3 prior lines of therapy.
Fruquintinib/BSC Demonstrates OS/PFS Benefit in Refractory mCRC, Irrespective of Prior Treatment
Treatment with fruquintinib plus best supportive care led to improved overall survival and progression-free survival vs placebo plus best supportive care in patients with refractory metastatic colorectal cancer, irrespective of number of prior lines of therapy or type of prior treatment.
Lasofoxifene/Abemaciclib Shows Clinically Meaningful Efficacy in ER+/HER2- ESR1-Mutant Breast Cancer
June 5th 2023Longer follow-up data from the phase 2 ELAINE-2 study demonstrated that treatment with lasofoxifene and abemaciclib resulted in clinically meaningful antitumor activity as well as continued tolerability with no new safety signals for patients with estrogen receptor-positive HER2-negative ESR1-mutated breast cancer who previously received CDK4/6 inhibitors.
Doxorubicin/Zalifrelimab/Balstilimab Generates Activity in Soft Tissue Sarcoma
June 5th 2023Treatment with doxorubicin plus zalifrelimab and balstilimab produced a favorable 6-month progression-free survival rate in patients with difficult-to-treat soft tissue sarcoma subtypes unlikely to respond to doxorubicin or immune checkpoint inhibitor monotherapy.
TAS-102 Plus Bevacizumab Fails to Extend OS in Unresectable mCRC
June 5th 2023The combination of trifluridine/tipiracil and bevacizumab did not demonstrate a significant overall survival benefit vs capecitabine plus bevacizumab in patients with unresectable, metastatic colorectal cancer ineligible for intensive chemotherapy.
Lenvatinib Plus Pembrolizumab Maintains Survival Benefit in Advanced RCC
June 5th 2023Lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab (Keytruda) showed a sustained overall survival and progression-free survival benefit vs sunitinib alone at a median follow-up of 4 years in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma.
HER3-DXd Elicits Responses and Safety in Heavily Pretreated ER+ Breast Cancer and TNBC
June 5th 2023Patritumab deruxtecan displayed manageable safety and produced responses in heavily pretreated patients with estrogen receptor–positive or triple-negative metastatic breast cancer with varying levels of HER3 expression, according to data from a phase 2 study presented at the 2023 ASCO Annual Meeting.
