Saby George, MD, of Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, discusses pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and safety results from CheckMate 67T, a phase III trial comparing the use of subcutaneous vs intravenous nivolumab in patients with advanced or metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma who have received prior systemic therapy (Abstract LBA360).

Maha H.A. Hussain, MD, on Prostate Cancer: New Data on Abiraterone and Prednisone Plus Olaparib

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.

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).

Neeraj Agarwal, MD, on Prostate Cancer: Phase III Trial Update on Cabozantinib, Atezolizumab, and Hormonal Therapy

Neeraj Agarwal, MD, of Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah, discusses results of the CONTACT-2 trial, which showed cabozantinib plus atezolizumab improved radiographic progression–free survival of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer vs a second novel hormonal therapy (NHT) in patients who had experienced disease progression on a prior NHT and have extrapelvic nodal or visceral disease. The benefits were more pronounced in patients with liver metastasis and in those who previously received docetaxel (Abstract 18).
