Gerhardt Attard, MD, PhD, on a Novel Regimen for Metastatic Castration-Sensitive Prostate Cancer With HRR Alterations
2025 ASCO Annual Meeting
Gerhardt Attard, MD, PhD, of the Cancer Institute, University College London, presents findings from the phase III AMPLITUDE trial, which looked at the combination of niraparib and abiraterone acetate plus prednisone for patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer with alterations in homologous recombination repair (HRR) genes (Abstract LBA5006).

Giuseppe Curigliano, MD, PhD, of Istituto Europeo di Oncologia, IRCCS, University of Milano, discusses patient-reported outcomes from the phase III EMBER-3 trial, which investigated treatment with imlunestrant, investigator’s choice of standard endocrine therapy, or imlunestrant plus abemaciclib in patients with ER-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer (Abstract 1001).
The ASCO Post Staff
Elena Elez, MD, PhD, of Vall d’Hebron Institute of Oncology, presents updated overall survival data as well as progression-free survival data from the BREAKWATER trial of the first-line use of encorafenib, cetuximab, and mFOLFOX6 in BRAF V600E–mutant metastatic colorectal cancer (LBA3500).

Mazyar Shadman, MD, PhD, of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center and the University of Washington, presents results from arm D of the SEQUOIA trial, which evaluated the combination of zanubrutinib and venetoclax in treatment-naive patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (Abstract 7009).

Erika Hamilton, MD, Director, Breast Cancer Research at Sarah Cannon Research Institute, reviews data from the global, randomized, phase III VERITAC-2 study, which compared vepdegestrant, an oral PROTAC (PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera) estrogen receptor degrader, to fulvestrant among patients with ER-positive HER2-negative advanced breast cancer. Vepdegestrant is the first PROTAC to be evaluated in a phase III trial (Abstract LBA1000).

Raffaele Califano, MD, of the Christie NHS Foundation Trust and the University of Manchester, discusses outcomes by osimertinib resistance mechanisms in MARIPOSA-2, a study that evaluated the efficacy of the bispecific antibody amivantamab-vmjw plus chemotherapy vs chemotherapy in patients with EGFR-mutant advanced NSCLC after disease progression on osimertinib (Abstract 8639).
