ASCO 2026
Marlana M. Orloff, MD, of Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, reviews primary results from the OptimUM-02 trial, which investigated the doublet of darovasertib plus crizotinib vs investgator’s choice for first-line therapy among patients with HLA-A2–negative metastatic uveal melanoma (Abstract LBA9503).

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).

Noelle Cloven, MD, of Texas Oncology, discusses the actively recruiting RAINFOL-03 (ENGOT-EN-31/GOG-3128) study, a global, phase III, open-label, randomized study of rinatabart sesutecan vs investigator’s choice of chemotherapy in patients with endometrial cancer after receipt of platinum-based chemotherapy and PD-L1 inhibition (Abstract TPS5646).
