Maha H.A. Hussain, MD, of the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center, Northwestern University, discusses phase II findings from the BRCAAway trial. This study showed that in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer with BRCA1/2 or ATM alterations, abiraterone and prednisone plus olaparib was well tolerated and resulted in a longer progression-free survival than either agent alone or sequentially.

Michiel S. Van Der Heijden, MD, PhD, on Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma: Phase III Trial Data on Enfortumab Vedotin Plus Pembrolizumab vs Chemotherapy

Michiel S. Van Der Heijden, MD, PhD, of the Netherlands Cancer Institute, discusses phase III results from the global EV-302 study, showing that enfortumab vedotin-ejfv plus pembrolizumab improves outcomes in patients with previously untreated locally advanced metastatic urothelial carcinoma compared with chemotherapy. Overall survival benefit was observed across select prespecified subgroups. According to Dr. Van Der Heijden, this immunotherapy combination is a potential new standard of care for first-line locally advanced metastatic urothelial carcinoma (Abstract LBA530).

Rohit K. Jain, MD, MPH, of the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute, discusses a novel phase II trial of pembrolizumab plus cabozantinib. The study showed this combination may be efficacious as first-line therapy for patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma, including those who are ineligible for cisplatin. Further investigation with a focus on predictive biomarkers is ongoing (Abstract 539).

Umang Swami, MD, on Prostate Cancer: Differences in Genomic, Transcriptomic, and Immune Landscape Based on Site of Metastasis

Umang Swami, MD, of Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah, describes the molecular and immunologic mechanisms of metastatic tropism in advanced prostate cancer, data that may facilitate future drug development. In patients with metastatic disease, specific sites are associated with differential overall survival, but the biological reasons have not been fully explored (Abstract 21).

Enrique Grande, MD, on Adrenocortical Carcinoma: Phase II Results on Cabozantinib Plus Atezolizumab

Enrique Grande, MD, of MD Anderson Cancer Center Madrid, discusses findings from the CABATEN/GETNE-T1914 study, in which cabozantinib plus atezolizumab showed modest activity in patients with locally advanced or metastatic adrenocortical carcinoma, a rare malignancy with a poor prognosis and limited therapeutic options. According to Dr. Grande, the existence of long-lasting responders makes it worthwhile to continue investigating predictive factors that may help to select patients for this combination therapy (Abstract 1).
