Colton Jones, MD, of The University of Texas at San Antonio, talks about the results of a global, multicenter analysis that sought to determine the safety and efficacy of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) for the primary prevention of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in a pan-etiology high-risk cohort (Abstract 10522).
Lillian L. Siu, MD, of Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, discusses the clinical utility of liquid biopsy testing for common KRAS variants to facilitate matching patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma to appropriate early-phase trials (Abstract 3049).
Jame Abraham, MD, FACP, of Cleveland Clinic, provides an update on the DESTINY-Breast05 trial, which is an ongoing phase III trial investigating postneoadjuvant trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) as compared with trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer with residual invasive disease and node-positive disease at surgery or inoperable disease at diagnosis. Dr. Abraham makes special note of rates of interstitial lung disease seen in the trial and methods of management.
Dai Chihara, MD, of The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, reviews results from an open-label, single-arm, phase II trial that investigated the combination of epcoritamab with R-miniCVP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, prednisone) in patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) classified as unfit or frail per geriatric assessment or not eligible for anthracycline chemotherapy due to reduced ejection function or prior exposure (Abstract 7002).
Adam Kibel, MD, of Brigham and Women's Hospital, discusses findings from the phase III PROTEUS trial, which evaluated perioperative (neoadjuvant and adjuvant) apalutamide and androgen deprivation therapy vs placebo and ADT with radical prostatectomy in patients with high-risk localized or locally advanced prostate cancer. Dr. Kibel talks about how the regimen of apalutamide and ADT affects both the surgical procedure itself as well as patient outcomes postprocedure (Abstract LBA1).
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).
