Surufatinib plus serplulimab and cisplatin/etoposide produced a 69.8% ORR in advanced extrapulmonary neuroendocrine carcinoma.

Efficacy outcomes in KEYNOTE-905 were consistent with a contribution of both enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab in cisplatin-ineligible MIBC.

Patient-reported outcomes from the phase 3 lidERA trial show preserved functioning and less frequent joint pain with giredestrant vs standard endocrine therapy.

Arcotatug tavatecan improved PFS and OS vs physician’s choice in previously treated, CLDN18.2-positive advanced gastric and GEJ cancer.

Exploratory subgroup analyses of the phase 2 DOVACC trial suggested a possible signal with the triplet in HRD-negative and PARP inhibitor–naive disease.

Perioperative nivolumab plus neoadjuvant chemotherapy did not significantly improve pCR rate or event-free survival in MIBC.

A protein called MPP8 helps drive chemotherapy resistance in the most-aggressive subtype of breast cancer, and suppressing its expression has the potential to improve treatment outcomes.
