Jason R. Westin, MD, FASC, on Updated Safety and Efficacy From the SUNMO Trial in LBCL
ASCO 2026
Jason R. 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).

Veronica Diermayr, PhD, of EDCC and A*STAR, discusses the use of artificial intelligence (AI) driven strategy called H&E 2.0 in gastric and esophageal cancer. Researchers tested the feasibility of training deep-learning models on hematoxylin and eosin images of gastroesophageal carcinomas and their ability to predict EBC-129 antigen expression directly from these images. EBC-129 is an experimental antibody-drug conjugate that targets N256-glycosylated CEACAM5/6, which is highly expressed on solid tumors, including gastroesophageal cancers (Abstract 4018).
