Treatment with the combination of epcoritamab, rituximab, and lenalidomide led to responses and durable remissions in patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma.

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.

Treatment with lisocabtagene maraleucel elicited encouraging responses regardless of prior progression on BTK inhibition or absence of clinical benefit with venetoclax in patients with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma, meeting the primary end point of the phase 1/2 TRANSCEND CLL 004 trial.

The combination of mRNA-4157 and pembrolizumab reduced the risk of developing distant metastasis or death by approximately 65% compared with pembrolizumab alone as adjuvant therapy in patients with resected melanoma at high risk of recurrence, according to findings from the phase 2 KEYNOTE-942 trial.

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 novel irreversible EGFR exon 20 insertion inhibitor sunvozertinib demonstrated significant clinical activity and similar safety to prior reports in Chinese patients with non–small cell lung cancer harboring EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations who progressed on prior platinum-based chemotherapy, according to results from the phase 2 WO-KONH6 study.

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.

Katherine B. Peters, MD, PhD, discusses findings from the phase 3 INDIGO trial of vorasidenib in patients with recurrent or residual grade 2 glioma harboring an IDH1 or IDH2 mutation and how these results support the addition of vorasidenib to the treatment armamentarium.
