The 2026 Gastrointestinal (GI) Cancers Symposium (ASCO GI) concluded on January 10 following 3 days of data-driven discussions highlighting the continued refinement of biomarker-directed strategies, evolving roles for immunotherapy, and growing interest in systemic approaches across GI malignancies.
Against this backdrop, OncLive® spoke with the following experts to identify the most practice-informing studies and cross-cutting themes to emerge from the meeting:
First results from the phase 2 AZUR-1 trial showed sustained clinical complete responses with dostarlimab alone, sparing most patients chemoradiation and surgery.
Pooled phase 1/2 data support 10 mg/kg every 3 weeks as the provisional pivotal dose of the PD-1/VEGF bispecific antibody cesalatamig in previously treated NSCLC.
