Rucaparib elicited a progression-free survival benefit and comparable overall survival (OS) vs chemotherapy in patients with BRCA1/2-mutated, relapsed ovarian cancer who were sensitive to platinum-based chemotherapy.

A lead-in dosing strategy for the combination of sotorasib in combination with either pembrolizumab or atezolizumab showed promising efficacy and relatively low rates of hepatotoxicity in patients with KRAS G12C–positive non–small cell lung cancer.

The combination of lasofoxifene and abemaciclib provided a meaningful progression-free survival benefit and elicited encouraging responses with an acceptable toxicity profile in patients with locally advanced or metastatic estrogen receptor–positive, HER2-negative breast cancer.

Twice-daily oral ruxolitinib plus carboplatin and paclitaxel given as frontline neoadjuvant and post-surgical treatment to patients with stage III or IV ovarian cancer was found to be feasible and to improve progression-free survival compared with chemotherapy alone.

Higher treatment discontinuation rates with abemaciclib were associated with factors including age of 65 year or older, enrollment in either North America or Europe, an ECOG performance status of 1, postmenopausal status, 1 to 3 positive lymph nodes, and 4 or more preexisting comorbidities in patients with hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative high-risk early breast cancer.

The addition of the MET inhibitor capmatinib to pembrolizumab failed to improve clinical outcomes in patients with treatment-naïve non–small cell lung cancer with PD-L1 expression of at least 50% vs pembrolizumab alone, according to an analysis of outcomes of patients in the MET unselected population treated in a phase 2 trial.

Induction therapy with the quadruplet regimen of daratumumab, carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone appears to be feasible in patients with high-risk, newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are eligible for transplant, displaying safety benefits and responses.

The addition of ramucirumab to pembrolizumab elicited significant response among patients with advanced non–small cell lung cancer who experienced disease progression following treatment with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors and platinum-based doublet chemotherapy.

Administration of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine resulted in heterogeneous immune response in patients with chronic graft-vs-host disease (cGVHD), further highlighting concerns about protection against infection or severe COVID-19 disease in this population

Navitoclax plus ruxolitinib produced an improvement in bone marrow fibrosis and a reduction in variant allele frequency in patients with myelofibrosis who progressed on or had suboptimal response with prior ruxolitinib monotherapy.

The T-cell attributes of axicabtagene ciloleucel impacted tumor burden, efficacy outcomes, peak levels of proinflammatory cytokines, and toxicities such as neurologic events and cytokine release syndrome in patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma.

Primo Nery Lara Jr, MD, provides an overview of the treatment landscape for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

The addition of darolutamide to androgen deprivation therapy and docetaxel generated better overall survival vs placebo with ADT and docetaxel in patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer.

Adagrasib monotherapy demonstrated encouraging clinical activity in patients with previously treated pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and other non–colorectal gastrointestinal tumors that harbor KRAS G12C mutations.

Comparative data from the phase 1 CARTITUDE-1 trial and the real-world LocoMMotion study demonstrated that ciltacabtagene autoleucel bested standard options for patients with triple-class exposed multiple myeloma.

The combination of daratumumab plus ixazomib, without dexamethasone, was found to have a favorable safety profile in very elderly frail patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma and high cytogenetic risk.

Safety and efficacy data from a pooled pooled analysis confirm that patients who are Black or Hispanic with hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative breast cancer can be treated with palbociclib plus endocrine therapy.

Imaging mass cytometry at the single-cell level showed potential as an immunotherapy response prediction tool in early triple-negative breast cancer.

Treatment with darolutamide was associated with statistically significant benefits in episodic memory by computerized cognitive assessment compared with enzalutamide in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

The combination of osimertinib plus pelcitoclax demonstrated an acceptable safety profile and preliminary efficacy at the recommended phase 2 dose in patients with EGFR-positive non–small cell lung cancer that is resistant to third-generation EGFR inhibitors or treatment naïve.

Mobocertinib improved patient-reported outcomes in those with previously treated non–small cell lung cancer whose tumors harbored EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations.

Daratumumab maintenance therapy yielded an increase in response following autologous stem cell transplant plus induction and consolidation therapy with bortezomib, thalidomide, and dexamethasone in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

Intensified induction therapy with daratumumab in addition to cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone and bortezomib-augmented autologous stem cell transplant yielded robust responses in patients with ultra¬ high–risk multiple myeloma or primary plasma cell leukemia

Subsequent systemic therapies were found to impact overall survival outcomes with lenvatinib plus everolimus versus sunitinib in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma who received treatment in the phase 3 CLEAR trial.

Frontline treatment with the combination of lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma led to similar health-related quality of life outcomes and disease-related symptom scores vs sunitinib.

Nivolumab and ipilimumab plus 2 cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy demonstrated durable survival benefit vs chemotherapy alone in patients with advanced non–small cell lung cancer.

Evidence from a population-based study on the incidence of human papillomavirus–related cancers indicate a marked decline in cervical carcinoma, potentially due to clear guidance regarding screening measures and HPV vaccination for vulnerable patient groups.

Atezolizumab elicited durable clinical activity irrespective of microsatellite instability status in patients with advanced solid tumors with a tumor mutational burden of more than 16 mutations per megabase.
