Jessica J. Lin, MD, on Neladalkib in Advanced ALK-Positive NSCLC
ASCO 2026
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).

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).

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).

Bjorn Henning Gronberg, MD, PhD, of St. Olav’s Hospital, discusses findings from a phase III trial of concurrent thoracic radiotherapy (TRT) plus platinum/etoposide chemotherapy and the PD-L1 inhibitor durvalumab in patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) (Abstract LBA8005).
Paolo Tarantino, MD, PhD, of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, reviews the results of a large clinicogenomic database study that looked at overall survival by genomic profile among patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. Patients with mutations in key DNA repair genes experienced a numerically worse prognosis, representing an unmet need for drug development, say researchers (Abstract 1045).

Manali Kamdar, MD, of the University of Colorado, discusses a rapid oral abstract session that highlighted three trends in the field of lymphomas: improving outcomes in frontline diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, continued development of cellular therapies, and expanding molecular profiling.
