OncLive® will be LIVE with OncLive® News Network: On Location at the 2023 ESMO Congress. Each day, we will broadcast a series of interviews with top thought leaders, to learn their thoughts and reactions to data presented across oncology during the conference.
Patients with recurrent ovarian cancer did not experience a statistically significant improvement in clinical outcomes such as progression-free survival and objective response rate with the addition of atezolizumab to chemotherapy and niraparib maintenance therapy.
Neoadjuvant pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy followed by adjuvant pembrolizumab plus endocrine therapy generated a statistically significant increase in pathologic complete response vs neoadjuvant placebo plus chemotherapy followed by adjuvant pembrolizumab and endocrine therapy in patients with high-risk, early-stage, estrogen receptor–positive, HER2-negative breast cancer.
The addition of pembrolizumab to external beam radiotherapy and concurrent chemotherapy, followed by brachytherapy, resulted in statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in progression-free survival when compared with placebo plus EBRT/chemoradiotherapy/brachytherapy in patients with newly diagnosed, previously untreated, high-risk locally advanced cervical cancer.
Dostarlimab plus chemotherapy elicited a higher objective response rate and showcased a numerical improvement in overall survival compared with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy in patients with treatment-naïve, nonsquamous non–small cell lung cancer.
Treatment with the combination of lutetium Lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetan and enzalutamide led to an improvement in prostate-specific antigen progression-free survival vs enzalutamide alone in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
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.
The addition of pembrolizumab to combination of trastuzumab and chemotherapy led to an improvement in progression-free survival vs placebo plus trastuzumab and chemotherapy in the first-line treatment of patients with metastatic HER2-positive gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer, particularly in those whose tumors had a PD-L1 combined positive score.
Concurrent adagrasib and pembrolizumab generated early signals of efficacy in patients with treatment-naïve, advanced non–small cell lung cancer harboring KRAS G12C mutations, particularly in those who had a PD-L1 tumor proportion score of at least 50%.
Maintenance therapy consisting of single-agent senaparib reduced the risk of progression or death vs placebo in patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer, irrespective of BRCA mutation status.
The addition of durvalumab to 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and docetaxel produced statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in pathological complete response rates vs placebo plus FLOT in patients with resectable gastric cancer or gastroesophageal junction cancer.
Treatment with the bispecific T-cell engager tarlatamab demonstrated antitumor activity and favorable safety outcomes in patients with previously treated small cell lung cancer.
Adjuvant treatment with the combination of abemaciclib and endocrine therapy (ET) maintained a benefit in invasive disease-free survival and distant relapse–free survival compared with ET alone in patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative, node-positive, high-risk early breast cancer.
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.
Lyudmila A. Bazhenova, MD, discusses the 2023 Bridging the Gaps in Lung Cancer meeting, emphasizing the importance of collaborative efforts when approaching gaps in lung cancer care.
The phase 3 BRUIN CLL-314 trial evaluating the selective noncovalent BTK inhibitor pirtobrutinib vs the potent covalent BTK inhibitor ibrutinib is currently enrolling patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma who previously received treatment with non-BTK inhibitor therapy.
Ravi Salgia, MD, PhD, discusses the 2023 Bridging the Gaps in Lung Cancer meeting, highlighting unmet needs that remain regarding treatment-related toxicities that can arise with commonly used agents in patients with lung cancer.
Erminia Massarelli, MD, PhD, MS, discusses clinical gaps in lung cancer care that were highlighted at the 2023 Bridging the Gaps in Lung Cancer meeting, emphasizing the importance of molecular testing in patients with small cell lung cancer and collaborations between health care networks in this treatment arena.
Sandip P. Patel, MD, discusses the 2023 Bridging the Gaps in Lung Cancer meeting, highlighting the similarities and differences between treating lung cancer in community oncology settings vs academic medical center settings.
Elisa Krill-Jackson, MD, highlights the practice-changing effects of fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki in metastatic, HER2-positive breast cancer, as well as whether there is still a role for trastuzumab emtansine in this setting.
Patients with treatment-naïve chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic leukemia without 17p deletions experienced superior efficacy following treatment with acalabrutinib plus obinutuzumab compared with zanubrutinib monotherapy.
Danielle M. Brander, MD, discusses the primary analysis of the phase 1/2 TRANSCEND CLL 004 trial in patients with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma.
Catherine C. Coombs, MD, discusses the feasibility of switching from treatment with a covalent BTK inhibitor to a BCL-2 inhibitor vs a different covalent BTK inhibitor in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma treated in a real-world setting.
Administration of acalabrutinib to patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia with or without cardiovascular disorders at baseline results in a numerically decreased incidence of overall treatment-related cardiac toxicities and a comparable safety profile vs comparator CLL therapies such as ibrutinib.
Treatment with single-agent venetoclax led to prolonged disease response in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia who had relapsed or become refractory to prior B-cell receptor inhibitors including ibrutinib and idelalisib, according to findings from a phase 2 study.
The undetectable minimal residual disease ate achieved with bendamustine followed by obinutuzumab, acalabrutinib, and venetoclax increased as the regimen was continued as maintenance treatment in patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Treatment with subcutaneous epcoritamab-bysp elicited rapid and durable responses, including an encouraging complete response rate, and manageable safety in high-risk patients with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Patients with chronic lymphoctyic leukemia treated with pirtobrutinib monotherapy experienced comparable objective response rates regardless of acquired BTK mutation and a decrease or clearance of BTK cysteine 481 clones despite the emergence of non-C481 clones or other less common mutations during or near the time of progression.
Patients with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia achieved sustained progression-free survival and overall survival benefit after treatment with fixed-duration venetoclax plus rituximab vs bendamustine plus rituximab, according to data from the phase 3 MURANO trial.
