Rapid Readouts

Four-year follow-up results from the Phase 3 CheckMate 9DW trial show that nivolumab plus ipilimumab continues to provide sustained overall survival and durable response benefits versus lenvatinib or sorafenib as first-line therapy for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. The combination demonstrated higher long-term survival rates and a higher complete response rate, with no new safety signals reported.

In this real-world retrospective study of patients with CLL/SLL treated at UCSF, outcomes with next-generation BTK inhibitors zanubrutinib and acalabrutinib were compared using adjusted analyses of time to next treatment and overall survival. Despite patients receiving zanubrutinib having more high-risk features and comorbidities, zanubrutinib was associated with a lower risk of starting subsequent therapy and a trend toward improved survival compared with acalabrutinib.

The RRO highlights that isatuximab combined with RVd as induction therapy produced deep and rapid responses in transplant-eligible patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. The regimen was generally well tolerated with a favorable safety profile, and early molecular responses were observed in a meaningful proportion of patients.

Using data from the ALPINE trial, this analysis demonstrates that worsening patient-reported symptoms, particularly fatigue, insomnia, and nausea/vomiting, is significantly associated with increased risk of disease progression in patients with relapsed/refractory CLL/SLL.

Constantine S. Tam, MD, presents a modeled analysis estimating the number needed to treat (NNT) to prevent one progression or death when using zanubrutinib versus other covalent Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKis) in patients with high-risk relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (R/R CLL).

The presentation highlights results from the OptimUM-01 study evaluating darovasertib + crizotinib as first-line treatment for metastatic uveal melanoma, showing improved median overall survival (21.1 months) and higher response rates compared with historical standard therapies. The combination demonstrated a manageable safety profile, supporting its continued evaluation in the ongoing registrational OptimUM-02 trial.

Summarize long-term results from the phase 2 EDGE-Gastric Arm A1 study evaluating domvanalimab (anti-TIGIT) + zimberelimab (anti-PD-1) + FOLFOX as first-line therapy for advanced HER2-negative gastric, GEJ, or esophageal adenocarcinoma. Key data shown include ORR, PFS, OS, and safety outcomes, demonstrating encouraging clinical activity and manageable toxicity, along with context regarding the ongoing phase 3 STAR-221 trial.
