Lauren Averett Byers, MD, of The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, describes data on ABBV-706—an investigational antibody-drug conjugate targeting SEZ6—alone or in combination with the anti–PD-1 monoclonal antibody budigalimab in patients with relapsed or refractory small cell lung cancer (SCLC) (Abstract 8008).
Nicholas C. Turner, MD, PhD, of the Royal Marsden Hospital, Institute of Cancer Research, discusses results from the primary analysis of the persevERA BC trial, which investigated giredestrant plus palbociclib vs letrozole plus palbociclib as first-line therapy in patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, HER2-negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer (Abstract LBA1006).
Kevin Kalinsky, MD, MS, FASCO, of Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University, provides an update focusing on progression-free survival after next line of treatment and subsequent therapies among patients enrolled in the ASCENT-04 trial. The study compared sacituzumab govitecan plus pembrolizumab vs chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab in patients with previously untreated PD-L1–positive metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (Abstract LBA1000).
Elizabeth Smyth, MD, of Oxford NIHR Biomedical Research Centre, Churchill Hospital, discusses three major studies presented at this year’s meeting: the antibody-drug conjugate izalontamab brengitecan in recurrent or metasatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (Abstract 4008); the ATTRACTION-6 study of chemoimmunotherapy in HER2-negative advanced gastric/gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer (Abstract 4006); and an investigational EP4 antagonist in combination with chemoimmunotherapy as a first-line strategy for HER2-negative gastric/GEJ cancer (Abstract 4007).
Martine J. Piccart-Gebhart, MD, PhD, of Jules Bordet Institute, Université Libre de Bruxelles, reviews multiple abstracts discussing avenues of personalized treatment for patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer, including genomic testing and systemic therapy.
Dor Abelman, BS, of the University of Toronto, reviews results of a comparison of two minimally invasive measurable residual disease (MRD) assays—BM-informed cfDNA whole-genome sequencing (cfWGS) and plasma proteomic MRD (EasyM)—in patients with multiple myeloma (Abstract 7546).
