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).
Lorenza Rimassa, MD, of IRCCS Humanitas Research Hospital, and David James Pinato, MD, PhD, of Imperial College London, discuss positive phase III findings in intermediate-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with immunotherapy-based combinations with TACE, second-line data from IMbrave251, and novel targeted and bispecific antibody therapies.
Richard Cathomas, MD, of Cantonal Hospital Graubünden, reviews results from the primary analysis of SAKK 06/19, an open-label single arm phase II trial, which found that the combination of intravesical recombinant bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) with atezolizumab, cisplatin, and gemcitabine was feasible and safe without unexpected toxicities and demonstrates promising efficacy in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) (Abstract 4503).
Jame Abraham, MD, FACP, of Cleveland Clinic, provides an update on the DESTINY-Breast05 trial, which is an ongoing phase III trial investigating postneoadjuvant trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) as compared with trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer with residual invasive disease and node-positive disease at surgery or inoperable disease at diagnosis. Dr. Abraham makes special note of rates of interstitial lung disease seen in the trial and methods of management.
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).
Siddhartha Yadav, MBBS, MD, of Mayo Clinic Rochester, talks about a real-world evaluation of germline pathogenic variants in cancer predisposition genes in unselected South Asian women with breast or ovarian cancer (Abstract 10513).
