Amivantamab continued to be tolerable and efficacious in patients with non–small cell lung cancer harboring EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations whose disease progressed on platinum-based chemotherapy.

Up-front treatment with osimertinib reduced the risk of brain progression-free survival but provided a comparable overall survival benefit compared with sequential treatment with gefitinib followed by osimertinib in patients with advanced non–small cell lung cancer harboring EGFR mutations.

Dimitrios Nasioudis, MD, discusses how the use of next-generation sequencing can help identify the unique molecular profile of endometroid ovarian cancer.

Lindsey K. Buckingham, MD, discusses an investigation into the use of patient-reported outcomes from the cancer-specific Geriatric Assessment (GA) to predict frailty in women with ovarian cancer, as well as planning the next steps for this research in other gynecologic cancers.

Brian M. Slomovitz, MD, discusses the evaluation of letrozole and ribociclib from the phase 2 GOG 3026 trial in recurrent low-grade serous ovarian carcinoma.

Shannon N. Westin, MD, MPH, FACOG, discusses the outcomes of the phase 1b SOLAR trial, which examined olaparib with selumetinib in patients with RAS-mutant gynecologic malignancies and other solid tumors.

Pamela T. Soliman, MD, MPH, discusses the use of circulating tumor DNA a clinical trial end point in endometrial cancer.

Neoadjuvant treatment with olaparib prior to surgical resection and adjuvant chemotherapy was well tolerated and led to a 100% optimal resection rate in patients with newly diagnosed, BRCA-mutant ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer.

Meghan K. Berkenstock, MD, discusses the management of antibody-drug conjugate-related ocular toxicities in gynecologic cancers.

Ramez N. Eskander, MD, discusses findings from the phase 3 NRG GY018 trial of pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy in patients with endometrial cancer.

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.

Pembrolizumab plus standard-of-care chemotherapy, followed by maintenance pembrolizumab, reduced the risk of disease progression or death vs chemotherapy alone in patients with mismatch repair–deficient and mismatch repair–proficient advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer.

Bruno B. Bockorny, MD, discusses findings from a phase 1a/b trial with the combination of botensilimab and balstilimab in patients with recurrent platinum-refractory or platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.
