Suneel Kamath, MD, of Cleveland Clinic, discusses a study that found tissue tumor mutation burden (TMB) was a stronger predictor of immunotherapy outcomes than blood-based circulating tumor DNA testing, with high tissue TMB associated with a longer time to treatment failure (Abstract 2580).

Westin, MD, FASCO, of The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, provides an update on the safety and efficacy data from the phase III SUNMO trial, which compared mosunetuzumab and polatuzumab vedotin vs rituximab, gemcitabine, and oxaliplatin in patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) (Abstract 7007).
John M. Burke, MD, of SCRI at Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers I The US Oncology Network, presents findings from the phase III frontMIND trial, which evaluated tafasitamab plus lenalidomide and R-CHOP in patients newly diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (Abstract LBA7000).
Thomas A. Jandl, MD, PhD, of Stony Brook University Hospital, discusses data from part 1B of the OLYMPIA-3 trial, which showed that among patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the safety profile of the first-line combination of odronextamab and CHOP chemotherapy was generally manageable and preliminary efficacy was encouraging, with no meaningful differences between regimens. Additionally, combination with odronextamab did not impact the delivery of CHOP (Abstract 7009).
Nicholas C. Turner, MD, PhD, of the Royal Marsden Hospital, Institute of Cancer Research, discusses results from the primary analysis of the persevERA BC trial, which investigated giredestrant plus palbociclib vs letrozole plus palbociclib as first-line therapy in patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, HER2-negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer (Abstract LBA1006).
