François-Clément Bidard, MD, PhD, on Advanced Breast Cancer With Emergent ESR1 Mutations: First-Line Option
ASCO 2026
François-Clément Bidard, MD, PhD, of Institut Curie, presents final progression-free survival 2 findings from the phase III SERENA-6 trial, which investigated the efficacy of camizestrant, a selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD), vs continued aromatase inhibition in patients with advanced breast cancer with emergent ESR1 mutations. Earlier reports from the trial showed improved progression-free survival with the SERD (Abstract LBA1007).

Jonathan W. Goldman, MD, of the University of California, Los Angeles, presents event-free survival data from the primary analysis of the phase III LIBRETTO-432 trial, which investigated the efficacy of the kinase inhibitor selpercatinib in patients with stage IB–IIIA RET fusion–positive non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (Abstract LBA3).
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).

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).
Elizabeth Smyth, MD, of Oxford NIHR Biomedical Research Centre, Churchill Hospital, discusses three major studies presented at this year’s meeting: the antibody-drug conjugate izalontamab brengitecan in recurrent or metasatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (Abstract 4008); the ATTRACTION-6 study of chemoimmunotherapy in HER2-negative advanced gastric/gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer (Abstract 4006); and an investigational EP4 antagonist in combination with chemoimmunotherapy as a first-line strategy for HER2-negative gastric/GEJ cancer (Abstract 4007).

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).
