Ivosidenib plus venetoclax with or without azacitidine showed an expected and tolerable safety profile with durable responses and a prolonged survival rate across acute myeloid leukemia disease groups.
Oral decitabine plus cedazuridine added to oral venetoclax demonstrated promising overall response rates in patients with acute myeloid leukemia who received the combination as a first-line treatment or after relapsing on prior therapies.

Belantamab mafodotin plus lenalidomide and dexamethasone showed durable responses in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.
Treatment with rusfertide generated sustained hematocrit control at levels below 45% in patients with polycythemia vera, leading to a reduced need for repeated phlebotomy and eliminating this need in some patients, according to findings from 2 phase 2 clinical trials.
Ivosidenib plus azacitidine displayed favorable event-free survival, overall survival, and clinical responses compared with placebo plus azacitidine in patients with newly diagnosed, IDH1-mutated acute myeloid leukemia, according to findings from the phase 3 AGILE study.
Alpelisib 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.
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.
The combination of lenvatinib and pembrolizumab was found to induce high response rates, including long-lasting remissions, and have acceptable safety in patients with metastasized anaplastic thyroid carcinoma and poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma.
OncLive® will be LIVE with OncLive® News Network: On Location at the 2022 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.
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.
Adagrasib monotherapy and in combination with cetuximab generated encouraging responses in patients with advanced colorectal cancer harboring KRAS G12C mutations.
