TP53 was found to be the only gene with a germline de novo pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant in pediatric patients with osteosarcoma.

Allyson Ocean, MD, discussed the importance of clinical trials and how they should not be viewed as a last resort for patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.

Anna Giuliano, PhD, discusses the work efforts to advance the reach of preventive vaccines and cancers, and the challenges researchers are facing in the process.

SpringWorks Therapeutics’ investigational gamma secretase inhibitor, nirogacestat is slated to be evaluated in combination with Janssen Biotech, Inc.’s BCMA- and CD3-targeted bispecific antibody, teclistamab in a phase 1 study in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Tazemetostat demonstrated durable responses and sustained safety in patients with epithelioid sarcoma and relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma.

Women with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer who achieved a pathologic complete response to neoadjuvant HER2-directed therapy experienced prolonged event-free survival and overall survival versus those who did not.

Ronan J. Kelly, MD, MBA, explains how the results of the KEYNOTE-407 trial have positioned pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy as the frontline standard of care in this setting.

The combination of bavituximab and pembrolizumab demonstrated synergistic antitumor activity and was well tolerated in patients with pretreated advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer.

The survival outcomes of patients with high-grade surface osteosarcoma is poor, despite the use of contemporary treatment with surgery and chemotherapy.

Although chemotherapy remains the benchmark for drug development in pancreatic cancer, signals seen with selective KRAS-targeted agents, PARP inhibitors, and metabolic agents suggest that novel approaches do have the ability to prolong survival in the advanced setting.

Brigatinib demonstrated sustained improvements in overall and intracranial progression-free survival and health-related quality of life compared with crizotinib in patients with ALK-positive advanced non–small cell lung cancer.

Thomas Herzog, MD, discusses the data that have cast PARP inhibitors into the forefront of treatment in the up-front management of patients with advanced ovarian cancer.

Andre Goy, MD, MS, discusses how matching the right treatment with the right patient resides at the heart of precision medicine, but with continued interest in pursuing the molecular milieu of cancers, precision medicine has the potential to better inform pre- and post-cancer interventions as well.

Jonathan Dowell, MD, discusses the data that support the use of chemoimmunotherapy in the frontline setting of nonsquamous NSCLC.

Efforts to leverage targeted therapy and immunotherapy, which have been approved modalities in advanced non–small cell lung cancer, are leading to improved survival in patients with advanced and earlier-stage disease.

The triplet regimen of atezolizumab, obinutuzumab, and venetoclax demonstrated encouraging activity and safety in heavily pretreated patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Emerging evidence suggests that clinical variables should not be the only consideration in prognostic and risk stratification scoring systems; genomically informed tools carry equal, if not refined, insights regarding patient outcomes.

Continuous administration of the novel tubulin inhibitor VERU-111 proved to be safe and demonstrated antitumor activity, evidenced by prostate-specific antigen reductions, objective tumor responses, and durable activity, in men with previously treated metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Cemiplimab-rwlc monotherapy led to a significant improvement in overall survival and progression-free survival versus platinum-doublet chemotherapy as first-line therapy in patients with advanced non–small cell lung cancer with PD-L1 expression on at least 50% of their tumor cell.

The combination of amivantamab and lazertinib demonstrated high response rates and was well tolerated in treatment-naïve and osimertinib-resistant patients with advanced EGFR-mutant non–small cell lung cancer.

The addition of abemaciclib to endocrine therapy led to a significant reduction in the risk of invasive disease versus endocrine therapy alone in patients with high-risk early hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative breast cancer.

The addition of ipatasertib to paclitaxel failed to improve progression-free survival and objective response rates versus placebo plus paclitaxel in patients with PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN-altered hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer.

Hemigland high-intensity focused ultrasound ablation of the prostate was found to be a safe and effective primary treatment for men with localized prostate cancer, leading to continence preservation and suitable short-term disease control.

The open-label arm of the 3-part phase 3 SYMPATICO trial is evaluating the combination of ibrutinib and venetoclax in previously untreated patients with mantle cell lymphoma.

Sawsan Rashdan, MD, discusses the current treatment paradigm of patients with resectable and metastatic EGFR-mutant NSCLC.

Luciano J. Costa, MD, PhD, discusses emerging data regarding the use of BCMA-directed bispecific antibodies and antibody-drug conjugates in multiple myeloma.

The addition of enzalutamide to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) led to maintained health-related quality of life and low symptom burden versus placebo and ADT in men with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer.

Patricia Pautier, MD, discusses the rationale for the phase 2 LMS-02 trial, the importance of histologic stratification, and ongoing challenges in soft tissue sarcoma.

Benoit You, MD, PhD, discusses the need for novel and well-tolerated agents in chemotherapy-resistant gestational trophoblastic tumors and ongoing research efforts designed to bring avelumab to the forefront of the treatment paradigm.
