ESMO 2023: Experts Preview Anticipated Data Spanning Tumor Types
The 2023 ESMO Congress, which is taking place in Madrid, Spain, and will continue to be accessible online via a virtual platform, is gearing up to kick off, and the oncology community is ready to learn more about the latest data across malignancies.
Alpelisib Displays Clinical Benefit in Pediatric PIK3CA-Related Overgrowth Spectrum Disease
September 21st 2022Alpelisib decreased the need for surgery and led to improvements in performance status and disease-related signs and symptoms in pediatric patients with PIK3CA-related overgrowth spectrum disease who received treatment with the PI3K inhibitor under compassionate use.
Niraparib Maintenance Provides Durable Long-term Remission in High-Risk Advanced Ovarian Cancer
Maintenance treatment with niraparib produced a sustained and durable progression-free survival benefit in patients with primary advanced ovarian cancer who responded to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy, spanning biomarker subgroups.
The decline of prostate-specific antigen following treatment with lutetium Lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetan plus standard of care was linked with prolonged radiographic progression-free survival and overall survival in patients with progressive prostate-specific membrane antigen–positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
PRMT5 Inhibitor Exhibits Efficacy and Tolerability in NHL, Advanced Solid Tumors
GSK3326595, a PRMT5 inhibitor, displayed modest efficacy and safety signals that were consistent with those that were previously reported with the agent among patients with advanced solid tumors.
HRQOL Outcomes in TNBC Are Not Negatively Affected by Pembrolizumab
September 12th 2022An analysis of patient-reported outcomes from the phase 2 KEYNOTE-522 trial demonstrated that pembrolizumab was not associated with effects on health-related quality of life in patients with triple-negative breast cancer.
ctDNA Could Serve as a Prognostic Tool in China for Predicting Outcomes in DLBCL
Results from a retrospective analysis presented during the 2022 ESMO Congress indicated that circulating tumor DNA could potentially be leveraged as a prognostic factor and a tumor-specific biomarker for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in China.
Orelabrutinib Plus R-CHOP Demonstrates Impressive ORR, PFS Rates in Non-GCB DLBCL
The combination of orelabrutinib and R-CHOP elicited a favorable overall response rate and progression-free response rate in patients with previously untreated non–germinal center B-cell–like diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with extranodal disease.
Pembrolizumab/Olaparib Combo Fails to Improve rPFS, OS Vs Novel Hormonal Agents in mCRPC
September 12th 2022The combination of pembrolizumab and olaparib did not significantly improve radiographic progression-free survival and overall survival compared with novel hormonal agents in patients with molecularly unselected, previously treated metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
Enfortumab Vedotin Plus Pembrolizumab Produces Encouraging Responses in Metastatic Urothelial Cancer
September 12th 2022The combination of enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab elicited a high overall response rate and a manageable safety profile in patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer.
Tucatinib Plus Trastuzumab Elicits Responses in Crossover Cohort in HER2+ mCRC
September 12th 2022Tucatinib plus trastuzumab improved radiographic response rates in patients with metastatic HER2-positive colorectal cancer initially treated with tucatinib monotherapy who later crossed over to receive doublet therapy.
Trastuzumab Deruxtecan at Reduced Dose Maintains Efficacy in HER2-Mutated NSCLC
September 12th 2022The clinical benefit and tolerable safety profile of trastuzumab deruxtecan was maintained at 5.4 kg/mg vs 6.4 kg/mg in patients with HER2-mutated non–small cell lung cancer, confirming the benefit-risk ratio of the FDA-approved dose.
Sotorasib Significantly Improves PFS Vs Docetaxel for KRAS G12C–Mutated NSCLC
Sotorasib doubled the rate of progression-free survival at 12 months and reduced the risk of progression or death by 34% compared with docetaxel for patients with previously treated non–small cell lung cancer with KRAS G12C mutations.
Updated ADAURA Data Reinforce Adjuvant Osimertinib as SOC for EGFR-Mutated, Stage IB-IIIA NSCLC
Adjuvant osimertinib resulted in a 77% reduction in the risk of disease recurrence or death in patients with EGFR-mutated, stage II to IIIA non–small cell lung cancer, with a disease-free survival improvement observed irrespective of prior adjuvant chemotherapy or disease stage.
