Camizestrant plus CDK4/6 inhibition improved PFS vs standard care in patients with ER+/HER2– advanced breast cancer and emergent ESR1 mutations.

NIVOPOSTOP trial data demonstrate a reduction in the risk of recurrence or death with adjuvant nivolumab combined with cisplatin/radiotherapy in LA-SCCHN.

Atezolizumab plus chemotherapy reduced risk of death or recurrence by 50% compared with chemotherapy alone for patients with stage III dMMR colon cancer.

Patients with stage III resected colon cancer had lower risk of death with less inflammatory diets and more regular physical activity.

Sacituzumab govitecan/pembrolizumab in the first line lengthened PFS vs chemotherapy/pembrolizumab in PD-L1+ metastatic triple-negative breast cancer.

T-DXd led to improvements in OS, PFS, ORR, and DOR compared with ramucirumab/paclitaxel in the second line for HER2-positive gastric and GEJ cancer.

Patients with ESR1-mutated, ER-positive, HER2-negative, advanced breast cancer experienced an increase in PFS with vepdegestrant compared with fulvestrant.

Encorafenib and cetuximab plus mFOLFOX6 increased progression-free survival for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer harboring BRAF V600E mutations.

First-line maintenance therapy with lurbinectedin plus atezolizumab has the potential to become a new standard of care in extensive-stage small cell lung cancer.

The phase 3 INAVO120 trial showed that overall survival significantly improved with the addition of inavolisib to palbociclib and fulvestrant in PIK3CA-mutant, hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative, endocrine-resistant advanced breast cancer.

Docetaxel was associated with lower rates of peripheral neuropathy compared with paclitaxel for Black patients with breast cancer.

Durable complete responses were observed in patients with TP52-mutated mantle cell lymphoma treated with ibrutinib plus venetoclax.

Adding brentuximab vedotin to lenalidomide/rituximab results in a stronger overall survival benefit compared with lenalidomide/rituximab alone in relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Three-year findings from the TRANSFORM trial provide further evidence that liso-cel should be considered as the new standard of care along with other CAR T-cell therapies for patients with primary refractory or relapsed LBCL, an expert said.

Compared with epoetin alfa, treatment with luspatercept improved erythroid response rates and the duration of transfusion independence for lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes.
