Patients with B-cell malignancies who were intolerant to treatment with acalabrutinib experienced clinically meaningful benefits when treated with zanubrutinib, suggesting zanubrutinib may be a viable treatment option for this population.

Detection of circulating tumor DNA with the Signatera assay was associated with disease recurrence in patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative, node-positive, high-risk early breast cancer at 24 months post-randomization to treatment with adjuvant abemaciclib and endocrine therapy.

Perioperative treatment with cemiplimab continued to produce signs of efficacy in patients with resectable stage II to IV cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.

Whole-genome sequencing of patients with multiple myeloma revealed that sequential immunotherapy was linked with antigen loss associated with treatment resistance and disease relapse.

The addition of acalabrutinib to bendamustine and rituximab demonstrated potent and durable responses despite a high incidence of grade 3/4 adverse effects in patients with previously untreated and relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma.

Combination treatment consisting of datopotamab deruxtecan and pembrolizumab with or without platinum-based chemotherapy generated responses as first- or second-line treatment for patients with advanced or metastatic non–small cell lung cancer.

The combination of talazoparib and enzalutamide resulted in a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in radiographic progression-free survival when used as a first-line therapy for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer harboring homologous recombination repair gene alterations.

The recommended phase 2 dose of IBI351 monotherapy had favorable safety and encouraging efficacy signals when administered to patients with advanced KRAS G12C–mutated non­–small cell lung cancer, according to updated data from a phase 1 dose-escalation study.

First-line cemiplimab monotherapy or in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy conferred long-term clinical benefit to patients with unresectable, locally advanced non–­small cell lung cancer who were ineligible for concurrent chemoradiation.

Dostarlimab plus standard-of-care chemotherapy generated a significant improvement in progression-free survival vs chemotherapy alone for patients with recurrent endometrial cancer, including those with mismatch repair–deficient, microsatellite instability–high tumors.

Maintenance niraparib did not produce a statistically significant overall survival benefit compared with placebo in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer, according to data from an updated exploratory OS analysis of the phase 3 ENGOT-OV16/NOVA study.

High initial complete remission with or without platelet recovery, as well as an improvement in durable complete remission was achieved with the use of Iomab-B-based conditioning prior to allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation compared with conventional care in older patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia.

Treatment with the cellular therapy Orca-T produced an improved graft-vs-host-disease and relapse-free survival rate in patients with high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome or acute leukemias.

Ruxolitinib induced clinically meaningful overall survival improvements by decreasing non-relapse mortality rates in patients with acute graft-vs-host-disease.

Blank-microsphere transarterial chemoembolization plus low-dose lenvatinib and sequential microwave ablation elicited responses and a tolerable safety profile in patients with large hepatocellular carcinoma.

During his career, David M. Gershenson, MD, has helped turn ovarian cancer treatment into an evidence-based field and built better therapies through an improved biological understanding of the disease.

Single-agent belantamab mafodotin continued to produce rapid, deep, and durable responses in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Compared with adjuvant pembrolizumab alone, the addition of neoadjuvant pembrolizumab significantly improved event-free survival outcomes for patients with stage III-IV melanoma with a hazard ratio of 0.58.

Tislelizumab monotherapy provided a clinically meaningful overall survival benefit that was noninferior to sorafenib and showcased a favorable toxicity profile when used as a frontline treatment for patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma.

The addition of isatuximab to pomalidomide and low-dose dexamethasone continued to demonstrate improved overall survival in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Treatment with standard-of-care isatuximab in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma is being evaluated in a real-world trial,

The combination use of first-line durvalumab plus tremelimumab for the treatment of patients with metastatic non–small cell lung cancer improved overall survival compared with standard-of-care chemotherapy.

The combination of lenvatinib and pembrolizumab produced similar efficacy and safety profiles in an East Asian subgroup of patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma.

Data from a longer follow-up analysis of the phase 1/2 CARTITUDE-1 trial demonstrated that all evaluated subgroups of patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma maintained durable responses with ciltacabtagene autoleucel.

Because standardized treatment approaches have not been established for patients with low-risk myelodysplastic syndromes and limited options are available to those with erythropoietin failure, the need for varied clinical trials is underscored.

In the first few years of their availability in the United States, axicabtagene ciloleucel and tisagenlecleucel have been used to mostly treat patients with diffuse large b-cell lymphoma in the outpatient setting who are receiving the CAR T-cell therapies prior to failure on 2 prior lines of therapy.

The combination of regorafenib plus pembrolizumab in the first-line setting for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma showed encouraging anti-tumor activity with a disease control rate of 91%, and did not display any new safety signals.

Evidence of tucatinib and its predominant metabolite, ONT-993, were detectable in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with leptomeningeal metastasis HER2+ positive breast cancer marking a first for tucatinib distribution into the CSF seen in this patient population.

February 10, 2021 - The JAK 1/2 inhibitor ruxolitinib, when given at a maximum dose of 10 mg peri-transplant, has been shown to be safe and feasible in patients with myelofibrosis.

December 11, 2020 - Gastrointestinal adverse events that occurred in patients with metastatic breast cancer who were treated with oral paclitaxel and encequidar can be managed by the use of 5- HT3 inhibitors and early intervention with loperamide.
