Sara A. Hurvitz, MD, of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, University of Washington, discusses phase III findings of the HER2CLIMB-02 study, which showed the combination of tucatinib and trastuzumab emtansine improved progression-free survival in patients with previously treated, HER2-positive, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer (including those with brain metastases) (Abstract GS01-10).

Cynthia X. Ma, MD, PhD, of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, discusses phase I findings showing the safety and tolerability of copanlisib and fulvestrant in combination with continuous or intermittent abemaciclib in patients with estrogen receptor–positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer. Preliminary antitumor activity, which was observed, will be further examined in the phase II trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT03939897) (Abstract PS17-06).
