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).
Tony S.K. Mok, MD, FRCPC, FASCO, of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, presents long-term findings from the CROWN trial, which evaluated lorlatinib vs crizotinib in patients with advanced ALK-positive non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). At 5 years, median progression-free survival was not reached with lorlatinib in this population, representing the longest progression-free survival ever reported in advanced NSCLC (Abstract 8502).
Elizabeth McDonald, MD, PhD, of the University of Pennsylvania, discusses results from a retrospective cohort study that showed that the use of GLP-1 treatment was associated with a significantly lower incidence of breast cancer, after accounting for age, race, ethnicity, BMI, breast density, and type 2 diabetes status (Abstract 10506).
Mazyar Shadman, MD, of the University of Washington and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, describes the safety and efficacy results of the all-oral first-line combination regimen of sonrotoclax and zanubrutinib for patients with treatment-naive chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL), as well as the doublet’s effect on measurable residual disease (Abstract 7043). He also discusses the phase III BGB-11417-304/CELESTIAL-TNCLL-2 trial; this ongoing study is evaluating sonrotoclax plus zanubrutinib vs venetoclax and acalabrutinib in treatment-naive patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) (Abstract TPS7099).
Ramaswamy Govindan, MD, FASCO, of Alvin J. Siteman Cancer Center at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, presents the final overall survival results from the randomized phase III Alliance A081105 trial, which evaluated adjuvant erlotinib vs observation after complete resection of EGFR-mutant non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (Abstract 8001).
Mohammed Al-Jumayli, MD, of H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute, discusses the effects of the use of a multimodal, digitally supported prehabilitation program among adults aged 65 years and older undergoing surgery for hepatobiliary cancer; the model was associated with favorable short-term functional performance signals and high levels of engagement (Abstract 12039).
