Jessica J. Lin, MD, Mass General Brigham Cancer Institute, presents data from the ALKOVE-1 study, which is looking at the investigational ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) neladalkib among patients with ALK-positive non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); Dr. Lin discusses the first analyses of phase II TKI-pretreated patients and preliminary data in TKI-naive patients (Abstract 8503).
Atish Choudhury, MD, PhD, of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, talks about findings from the phase II A-DREAM/Alliance A032101 trial, which explored the possibility of androgen-deprivation (ADT) interruption in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer who had an exceptional response to androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs) (Abstract 5004).
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.
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).
Angimar Uriepero-Palma, MD, of Jefferson Einstein Philadelphia Hospital, discusses a study that showed use of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors was associated with longer 3-year overall survival and a lower risk of cytopenias and infections among diabetic patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) receiving Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitors (Abstract 7051).
Peter Schmid, MD, PhD, FRCP, of Queen Mary University of London, shares more data from the phase III lidERA BC clinical trial. This analysis focused on the efficacy and safety of giredestrant in patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer, looking at both premenopausal and postmenopausal populations (Abstract 502).
