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).
Julie R. Gralow, MD, FACP, FASCO, Chief Medical Officer and Executive Vice President of ASCO, provides an overview of the highlights of this year’s meeting, including practice-changing data included in the Plenary Session.
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).
Supriya Gupta, MD, of the University of Minnesota, presents data on azercabtagene zapreleucel, an investigational anti-CD19 allogeneic chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, in combination with low-dose interleukin-2 in patients with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) (Abstract 7012).
Rami Manochakian, MD, FASCO, of Mayo Clinic Florida, summarizes an educational session at ASCO that reviewed the state of the field of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) treatment. After decades of limited treatment progress, advances are being seen in immunotherapies, radiation therapy, bispecific T-cell engagers, antibody-drug conjugates, and radionuclide therapies.
Julie R. Brahmer, MD, FASCO, of the Bloomberg–Kimmel Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy, Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, provides expert commentary on the overall survival results from the phase III HARMONi-6 trial presented in this year’s Plenary Session. The study compared ivonescimab plus chemotherapy vs tislelizumab plus chemotherapy in previously untreated patients with advanced squamous non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (Abstract LBA4).
