Hannah L. Kenny, MD, and Joseph M. Curry, MD, both of Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, discuss results of a phase II trial of neoadjuvant cemiplimab-rwlc in patients with hedgehog inhibitor–naive basal cell carcinoma (BCC) of the head and neck (Abstract 9515).
Gopa Iyer, MD, of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, presents initial results from the phase I NEXUS-01 study, which evaluated LY4052031, an antibody-drug conjugate targeting Nectin-4, in patients with advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (Abstract 4508).
Shubham Pant, MD, MBBS, of The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, discusses the practice-changing results of the phase III RASolute 302 study, which showed that daraxonrasib doubled median overall survival compared with standard chemotherapy in pretreated metastatic pancreatic cancer (Abstract LBA5).
Laura Alder, MD, of Duke University Medical Center, highlights emerging data discussed in the meeting’s oral abstract session on small cell lung cancer, including increased toxicity without efficacy benefit from concurrent chemoradiation and immunotherapy, the intracranial activity of tarlatamab-dlle, and early data for a SEZ6-targeting antibody-drug conjugate.
Tony S.K. Mok, MD, FRCPC, FASCO, of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, presents long-term findings from the CROWN trial, which evaluated lorlatinib vs crizotinib in patients with advanced ALK-positive non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). At 5 years, median progression-free survival was not reached with lorlatinib in this population, representing the longest progression-free survival ever reported in advanced NSCLC (Abstract 8502).
Jamie E. Chaft, MD, FASCO, of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, discusses findings from ECOG-ACRIN EA5142/ALCHEMIST, a phase III randomized trial that evaluated the efficacy of adjuvant nivolumab after standard-of-care adjuvant therapy in patients with resected lung adenocarcinoma without sensitizing EGFR and ALK alterations and squamous cell carcinoma (Abstract 8000).
