Ciara C. O’Sullivan, MD, MBBCh, on HER2-Positive Breast Cancer: Expert Commentary on Treatments Under Study
2024 ASCO Annual Meeting
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.

Tony S.K. Mok, MD, of The Chinese University of Hong Kong, discusses phase III findings from the KRYSTAL-12 study, which showed that adagrasib improved progression-free survival and overall response rate over docetaxel in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non–small cell lung cancer harboring a KRAS G12C mutation who had previously received a platinum-based chemotherapy with anti–PD-(L)1 treatment.

Xavier P. Leleu, MD, PhD, of France’s Université de Poitiers and Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Poitiers, discusses phase III findings showing that isatuximab in combination with bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone deepened responses and increased the rate of measurable residual disease negativity vs isatuximab with lenalidomide and dexamethasone in patients with newly diagnosed transplant-ineligible multiple myeloma (Abstract 7501).

Omid Hamid, MD, of The Angeles Clinic and Research Institute, a Cedars-Sinai affiliate, discusses updated data on IMC-F106C, a novel bispecific protein that, in a phase I safety and efficacy study, exhibited clinical activity in patients with unresectable or metastatic cutaneous melanoma who were pretreated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. A phase III trial of IMC-F106C with nivolumab in the first-line setting of metastatic disease has been initiated (NCT06112314; Abstract 9507).

Yukio Suzuki, MD, PhD, of Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, discusses data showing that reproductive-age patients with early-stage endometrial cancer who use fertility-preserving hormonal therapy seemed to have good overall survival after a 10-year follow-up (Abstract 5508).

Christos Kyriakopoulos, MD, of the University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center, discusses data suggesting that adding cabazitaxel to abiraterone and prednisone improves progression-free survival in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who previously received chemohormonal therapy with docetaxel for hormone-sensitive disease compared with abiraterone plus prednisone alone (Abstract LBA5000).
