Adjuvant treatment with the combination of atezolizumab (Tecentriq) and bevacizumab (Avastin) resulted in a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in recurrence-free survival vs active surveillance in patients with a high risk of hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence following curative-intent resection or ablation.

First-line cemiplimab monotherapy or in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy conferred long-term clinical benefit to patients with unresectable, locally advanced non–­small cell lung cancer who were ineligible for concurrent chemoradiation.

Adagrasib induced high overall response rates in patients with KRAS G12C–mutated non–small cell lung cancer who achieved at least 90% mutation allele frequency clearance.

Data for adjuvant atezolizumab following neoadjuvant atezolizumab and resection demonstrated an improvement in disease-free survival and a trend toward improved overall survival in patients with resectable stage IB to IIIB non–small cell lung cancer compared with those who did not receive adjuvant atezolizumab.

Treatment with eftilagimod alpha plus pembrolizumab resulted in tumor shrinkage and a tolerable safety profile in patients with anti–PD-1/PD-L1–resistant non–small cell lung cancer.

Second-line atezolizumab plus cabozantinib did not generate a clinical benefit over standard-of-care docetaxel in patients with metastatic non–small cell lung cancer previously treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors and chemotherapy.

The combination of tusamitamab ravtansine and pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy generated responses and was well tolerated when used as first-line treatment for patients with CEACAM5-positive nonsquamous non–small cell lung cancer.

Frontline cemiplimab plus chemotherapy improved overall survival and progression-free survival compared with investigator’s choice of chemotherapy for patients with PD-L1–positive non–small cell lung cancer that has metastasized to the brain.

The use of 4 cycles of chemotherapy plus durvalumab with or without tremelimumab-actl was associated with improved or sustained response and similar toxicity compared with chemotherapy alone as frontline therapy in patients with metastatic non–small cell lung cancer, according to post hoc exploratory findings from the phase 3 POSEIDON trial.

Taletrectinib continued to demonstrate meaningful efficacy in the form of a durable objective response rate and a high intracranial ORR with acceptable tolerability in both TKI-naïve and crizotinib-pretreated patients with ROS1-positive non–small cell lung cancer.

Meghan K. Berkenstock, MD, discusses common ocular toxicities associated with the use of novel antibody-drug conjugates, and the subsequent development of mitigation strategies for these treatment-related adverse effects in gynecologic cancers.

Ursula A. Matulonis, MD, discusses common toxicities associated with mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx, and how to properly manage these treatment-related adverse effects for patients with folate receptor alpha-high ovarian cancer.

The addition of cemiplimab to platinum-doublet chemotherapy continued to provide a clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvement in clinical benefit over chemotherapy alone in patients with advanced non–small cell lung cancer, irrespective of histology or PD-L1 expression level.

Neoadjuvant nivolumab plus chemotherapy produced a long-term event-free survival benefit vs chemotherapy alone in patients with resectable non–small cell lung cancer, independent of whether patients underwent minimally invasive surgery or thoracotomy or complete or partial resection of the lung.

Cara A. Mathews, MD, discusses 7-year overall survival data from the phase 3 SOLO-1 trial in patients with ovarian cancer.

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.
