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.

Omid Hamid, MD, on Cutaneous Melanoma: Update on a Bispecific Protein Under Study

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).

Thierry Facon, MD, on Multiple Myeloma: Results From the IMROZ Study on Isatuximab, Bortezomib, Lenalidomide, and Dexamethasone

Thierry Facon, MD, of the University of Lille and Lille University Hospital, discusses phase III findings showing for the first time that isatuximab, an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, when given with the standard of care (bortezomib, lenalidomide, dexamethasone, or VRd) to patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are transplant-ineligible, may reduce the risk of disease progression or death by 40.4% vs VRd alone (Abstract 7500).

Christos Kyriakopoulos, MD, on Prostate Cancer: CHAARTED2 Trial Results on Cabazitaxel and Abiraterone

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).

Claudio Cerchione, MD, PhD, on Staging Multiple Myeloma: New Findings on FDG PET/CT Scans and Whole-Body MRI

Claudio Cerchione, MD, PhD, of Italy’s Istituto Scientifico Romagnolo per lo Studio e la Cura dei Tumori, discusses preliminary findings from a prospective trial suggesting that by adding whole-body MRI to fludeoxyglucose-18 (FDG) PET/CT scans, clinicians may detect bone lesions earlier and more accurately in patients with either newly diagnosed or relapsed multiple myeloma, thus translating into potentially better outcomes (Abstract 7512).

Minesh P. Mehta, MD, on NSCLC: Tumor Treating Fields for Brain Metastases

Minesh P. Mehta, MD, of Miami Cancer Institute, part of Baptist Health South Florida, discusses results from the METIS (EF-25) trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of tumor treating fields therapy following stereotactic radiosurgery in patients with mutation-negative non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and brain metastases. Tumor treating fields therapy prolongs time to intracranial disease progression and may postpone whole-brain radiation therapy without declines in quality of life and cognition (Abstract 2008).
