Krishnan R. Patel, MD, of the National Cancer Institute, discusses a combined analysis of the NRG/RTOG 9202, 9413, 9902, and 0521 trials that looked at using clinico-transcriptomic risk stratification to guide abiraterone treatment intensification among patients with high-risk prostate cancer (Abstract 5000).
Evan T. Hall, MD, of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, discusses findings from the randomized phase II MATRiX trial, which evaluated the efficacy of the ATR inhibitor tuvusertib with or without avelumab in patients with anti–PD-(L)1–refractory Merkel cell carcinoma (Abstract LBA9514).
Supriya Gupta, MD, of the University of Minnesota, presents data on azercabtagene zapreleucel, an investigational anti-CD19 allogeneic chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, in combination with low-dose interleukin-2 in patients with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) (Abstract 7012).
Mary-Ellen Taplin, MD, FASCO, of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, presents the final analysis of the phase III PROTEUS study, which looked at perioperative (neoadjuvant and adjuvant) apalutamide plus androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) vs placebo and ADT with radical prostatectomy in patients with high-risk localized or locally advanced prostate cancer (Abstract LBA1).
Mark A. Dickson, MD, of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, presents findings from SARC041, a phase III randomized double-blind study of abemaciclib vs placebo in patients with dedifferentiated liposarcoma; patients who received abemaciclib experienced a statistically significant improvement in progression-free survival (Abstract LBA2).
Thomas A. Jandl, MD, PhD, of Stony Brook University Hospital, discusses data from part 1B of the OLYMPIA-3 trial, which showed that among patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the safety profile of the first-line combination of odronextamab and CHOP chemotherapy was generally manageable and preliminary efficacy was encouraging, with no meaningful differences between regimens. Additionally, combination with odronextamab did not impact the delivery of CHOP (Abstract 7009).
