Genetic Testing and Molecular Profiling in AML
Panelists discuss the importance of genetic testing, particularly for KMT2A and NPM1 mutations, in identifying patients who would benefit from revumenib, the role of molecular profiling in identifying high-risk acute monocytic leukemia (AML) patients, approaches to KMT2A testing, and when to recommend RNA over DNA testing, along with guidance for institutions lacking standardized diagnostic testing protocols.

DESTINY-Breast05 Safety Analysis Clarifies ILD and Radiation Risks With T-DXd in HER2+ Breast Cancer
Charles E. Geyer, MD, discusses data from the DESTINY-Breast05 safety analysis evaluating ILD and radiation pneumonitis outcomes in HER2+ breast cancer.

The FDA approved daraxonrasib for pancreatic cancer, cleared zanidatamab-based regimens for HER2-positive gastric cancer, and more.

The selective ROCK2 inhibitor TDI01 generated organ-wide responses in previously treated moderate-to-severe chronic graft-versus-host disease, with the 400-mg dose performing best.

Patient-reported QOL and symptom outcomes were similar between belzutifan plus lenvatinib and cabozantinib in previously treated RCC.

The phase 3 DAWN-303 trial is evaluating the oral KRAS G12D inhibitor INCB161734 in previously untreated, KRAS G12D–mutated metastatic PDAC.
