Ciara C. O’Sullivan, MD, MBBCh, of Mayo Clinic, discusses three studies of treatment for patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer and their clinical implications: the EMERALD trial of eribulin and taxane; the Patricia Cohort C trial of palbociclib plus trastuzumab and endocrine therapy; and DB07 on trastuzumab deruxtecan with or without palbociclib.

Laurence Albiges, MD, PhD, on Renal Cell Carcinoma: Biomarker Analysis of the IMmotion010 Study

Laurence Albiges, MD, PhD, of Gustave Roussy, Université Paris-Saclay, discusses phase III findings showing that high baseline serum KIM-1 levels were associated with poorer prognosis but improved clinical outcomes with atezolizumab vs placebo in patients with renal cell carcinoma at increased risk of recurrence after resection. Increased post-treatment KIM-1 levels were found to be associated with worse disease-free survival (Abstract 4506).

Peter Riedell, MD, on DLBCL: Expert Commentary on the DEB Study

Peter Riedell, MD, of The University of Chicago, discusses phase III results on the use of tucidinostat plus R-CHOP in patients with previously untreated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with double expression of MYC and BCL2. The regimen appeared to improve event-free survival and complete response rates vs R-CHOP in the front-line setting. As this is an interim analysis, longer-term follow-up will be needed to better understand its impact, says Dr. Riedell.

Heather Wakelee, MD, on NSCLC: IMpower010 Survival Results After Long-Term Follow-up of Atezolizumab vs Best Supportive Care

Heather Wakelee, MD, of Stanford University Medical Center, discusses phase III findings showing that the disease-free survival benefit with adjuvant atezolizumab continues to translate into a positive overall survival trend vs best supportive care in patients with stage II–IIIA non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). These results further support the use of adjuvant atezolizumab in PD-L1–selected populations, according to Dr. Wakelee (LBA8035).

Narjust Florez, MD, of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and Suresh S. Ramalingam, MD, of Emory University School of Medicine, Winship Cancer Institute, discuss potentially practice-changing phase III results from the LAURA study. This trial showed that osimertinib after definitive chemoradiation therapy improved progression-free survival for patients with unresectable stage III EGFR-mutated non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), suggesting this agent may represent a new standard of care in this setting (LBA4).
