ASCO 2026
Antonio Llombart-Cussac, MD, PhD, of Medica Scientia Innovation Research (MEDSIR), discusses the ongoing ADELA study, a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized phase III trial of elacestrant plus everolimus vs elacestrant plus placebo in patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive HER2-negative advanced breast cancer with ESR1-mutated tumors who experienced disease progression on endocrine therapy plus CDK4/6 inhibition (Abstract TPS1154).

Ramez N. Eskander, MD, of UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center, presents an updated overall survival analysis and examination of subsequent therapy in patients with endometrial cancer treated with pembrolizumab plus carboplatin/paclitaxel as compared to carboplatin/paclitaxel plus placebo in the NRG-GY018 trial (Abstract 5502).

Yashasvini Sampathkumar, MD, of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, presents data on Talking to Employers and Medical Staff about Work (TEAMWork), an English/Spanish intervention. The English/Spanish intervention, delivered as a booklet or mobile app, was developed to improve work outcomes among women undergoing breast cancer therapy. Dr. Sampathkumar discusses whether the digital vs print format was preferable among this population (Abstract 11060).

Samuel J. Klempner, MD, FASCO, of Mass General Brigham Cancer Institute, discusses a single-arm phase II study—which is currently open and enrolling (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT07070466)—evaluating ivonescimab in combination with FOLFOX as front-line therapy in locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic HER2-negative gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (Abstract TPS4246).

François-Clément Bidard, MD, PhD, of Institut Curie, presents final progression-free survival 2 findings from the phase III SERENA-6 trial, which investigated the efficacy of camizestrant, a selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD), vs continued aromatase inhibition in patients with advanced breast cancer with emergent ESR1 mutations. Earlier reports from the trial showed improved progression-free survival with the SERD (Abstract LBA1007).
