Neoadjuvant treatment with nivolumab plus chemotherapy followed by surgery and adjuvant nivolumab resulted in a statistically significant improvement in event-free survival vs placebo plus chemotherapy, in patients with previously untreated resectable stage II to IIIB non-small cell lung cancer, according to data from the phase 3 CheckMate 77T trial.

Atezolizumab plus standard-of-care platinum-based chemotherapy, followed by maintenance therapy with atezolizumab monotherapy, improved progression-free survival vs chemotherapy plus placebo, followed by placebo maintenance therapy, in the frontline treatment of patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial carcinoma particularly in those with mismatch repair–deficient disease.

Treatment with neoadjuvant pembrolizumab in combination with platinum-containing chemotherapy and followed by adjuvant pembrolizumab improved event-free survival compared with neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone in patients with high-risk triple-negative breast cancer.

Treatment with repotrectinib in patients with ROS1-positive non–small cell lung cancer, specifically those who were tyrosine kinase inhibitor-naïve or -pretreated, continued to demonstrate durable clinical activity, as well as durable intracranial responses.

Ziftomenib demonstrated clinical activity and a tolerable safety profile in heavily pretreated patients with relapsed/refractory NPM1-mutant acute myeloid leukemia.

Daratumumab maintenance therapy with or without pomalidomide provided a tolerable and feasible treatment option after salvage hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in patients with relapsed multiple myeloma.

The addition of tumor treating fields to standard-of-care immunotherapy or chemotherapy regimens elicited an improvement in overall survival vs SOC therapies alone in patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer following progression on or after platinum-based chemotherapy, according to data from the phase 3 LUNAR trial.

The use of maintenance niraparib enhanced antitumor activity and led to a clinically meaningful increase in progression-free survival vs placebo for patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer who displayed measurable residual disease after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy, according to findings from a post hoc subgroup analysis of the phase 3 PRIME study.

Second-line maintenance therapy with niraparib improved overall survival vs active surveillance in patients with recurrent BRCA wild-type ovarian cancer.
