ASCO 2026
Joel W. Neal, MD, PhD, of Stanford Cancer Institute, discusses updated overall survival data from cohort C of the CHRYSALIS-2 trial, which looked at first-line amivantamab plus lazertinib in previously untreated patients with atypical EGFR-mutated advanced non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (Abstract 8501).

Richard Cathomas, MD, of Cantonal Hospital Graubünden, reviews results from the primary analysis of SAKK 06/19, an open-label single arm phase II trial, which found that the combination of intravesical recombinant bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) with atezolizumab, cisplatin, and gemcitabine was feasible and safe without unexpected toxicities and demonstrates promising efficacy in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) (Abstract 4503).

Ronald C. Chen, MD, MPH, FASCO, of the University of Kansas Medical Center, presents health-related quality of life (HRQoL) data from the AMBASSADOR trial, which showed that in patients with high-risk muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma after radical surgery, adjuvant pembrolizumab for 1 year approximately doubled disease-free survival, causes fatigue and dyspnea which modestly impacted physical function and ability to perform certain roles (such as work and hobbies), without impact on overall quality of life (Abstract 4513).
