Ribociclib plus endorcrine therapy led to a statistically significant improvement in progression-free survival in patients with hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative unresectable or metastatic breast cancer with tumor progression following treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor, according to findings from the randomized phase 2 MAINTAIN trial.
Investigators Look to Enhance Outcomes for Unresectable ESCC With Chemoradiation Combination

Frontline Nivolumab/Ipilimumab Improves OS in Advanced NSCLC, Irrespective of Mutational Status
The dual immunotherapy combination comprised of nivolumab and ipilimumab improved overall survival vs chemotherapy in patients with advanced non–small cell lung cancer, irrespective of KRAS, TP53, or STK11 mutational status, according to data from exploratory analyses of part 1 of the CheckMate-227 trial.
The addition of veliparib to platinum-based chemotherapy in the frontline treatment of current smokers with advanced squamous non–small cell lung cancer did not significantly improve overall survival, but the LP52 signature may identify a subset of patients who will derive benefit from the combination.
