Zipalertinib was safe and effective for heavily pretreated patients NSCLC harboring EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations who progressed on or after amivantamab.

Amivantamab plus chemotherapy delivered promising OS trends compared with chemotherapy in EGFR-mutant advanced non-small cell lung cancer after disease progression on osimertinib.

The Food and Drug Administration approved ribociclib plus an aromatase inhibitor for hormone receptor (HR)–positive, HER2-negative stage II and III early breast cancer that has a high risk of recurrence.

While none of the experimental combinations met efficacy targets, durvalumab with monalizumab and ceralasertib showed promising long-term benefits in patients with advanced NSCLC.

The duo of TAR-200 and cetrelimab was safe and efficacious in the neoadjuvant setting for certain patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

Adding relatlimab to nivolumab and chemotherapy improved efficacy but did not increase safety concerns in advanced-stage lung cancer.

For patients with early breast cancer, hypofractionated radiation was noninferior to normofractionated radiation regarding lymphedema risk.

Presurgical durvalumab plus chemotherapy, followed by adjuvant durvalumab, led to improved survival in patients with cisplatin-eligible muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC).

Patients with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer tended to have improved survival with neoadjuvant pembrolizumab plus chemo followed by adjuvant pembrolizumab.

Patients with Claudin-6–positive advanced solid tumors, including platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, tended to respond to therapy with TORL-1-23

While adjuvant pembrolizumab and chemotherapy with or without radiation did not boost DFS in the overall high-risk endometrial cancer population, but showed a trend toward improved DFS in one patient subgroup.

Retifanlimab plus carboplatin and paclitaxel boosted PFS for certain patients with recurrent or metastatic SCAC.

The addition of radium-223 to enzalutamide led to significant rPFS and OS benefits compared to enzalutamide alone in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Lenvatinib, pembrolizumab, and TACE outperformed placebo plus TACE in progression-free survival for intermediate-stage hepatocellular carcinoma.

Pembrolizumab plus chemoradiotherapy improved survival in patients with previously untreated, high-risk locally advanced cervical cancer.

The addition of BMS-986012 to frontline nivolumab and chemotherapy led to promising outcomes in patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer.

Consolidation durvalumab improved survival across subgroups of patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer based on factors associated with prior prophylactic cranial irradiation and concurrent chemoradiotherapy use.

Study findings support tivozanib monotherapy for second-line treatment of certain patients with metastatic RCC, an expert said.

DESTINY-Breast12 results showed that T-DXd led to overall and intracranial activity in patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer.

Belzutifan improved progression-free survival and objective response rate compared to everolimus in previously treated advanced renal cell carcinoma.

A group of oncology advanced practice providers discussed the use of BCMA-targeted bispecific antibodies for patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Adjuvant durvalumab failed to improve disease-free survival in resected EGFR- or ALK-negative non-small cell lung cancer.

Both community and academic nurses must know what to expect and how to react to adverse events from bispecific antibody treatment in myeloma; however, Donna Catamero, ANP-BC, OCN, CCRC, notes this can be predictable for providers.

The agency approved the subcutaneous injection of atezolizumab and hyaluronidase-tqjs for all of the adult indications as the intravenous formulation of atezolizumab.

The US Oncology Network (The Network) has developed one of the most comprehensive programs in the nation to support the professional development and retention of new oncology nurses.

The use of ruxolitinib presented improved rates of skin/joint responses, cGVHD responses, patient-reports, low NRM, and high FFS in patients with refractory sclerotic cGVHD.

Oncology nurses at local and specialized centers can work together to create a pathway for patients throughout CAR T-cell therapy treatment.
