Lucy Gilbert, MD, on Overall Survival by Prior Taxane Use in the Phase III ROSELLA Trial
ASCO 2026
Lucy Gilbert, MD, of McGill University Health Centre, discusses subgroup analyses from the ROSELLA study. Relacorilant plus nab-paclitaxel demonstrated a statistically and clinically significant overall survival benefit in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer compared to a weekly taxane; subgroup analyses for overall survival showed a consistent benefit favoring the addition of relacorilant to nab-paclitaxel irrespective of prior taxane use (Abstract 5503).

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).

Ronald C. Chen, MD, MPH, FASCO, of the University of Kansas Medical Center, presents health-related quality of life (HRQoL) data from the AMBASSADOR trial, which showed that in patients with high-risk muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma after radical surgery, adjuvant pembrolizumab for 1 year approximately doubled disease-free survival, causes fatigue and dyspnea which modestly impacted physical function and ability to perform certain roles (such as work and hobbies), without impact on overall quality of life (Abstract 4513).

Alicia K. Morgans, MD, FASCO, of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, discusses data from the phase II ARACOG (AFT-47) randomized clinical trial, which compared the two androgen receptor pathway inhibitors’ effects on cognitive function in patients with advanced prostate cancer (Abstract 5005).

Shailender Bhatia, MD, of the University of Washington and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, presents data from the phase III ADAM trial, a multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study of the anti–PD-L1 antibody avelumab in patients with Merkel cell carcinoma and lymph node metastases (Abstract LBA9504).

Yelena Y. Janjigian, MD, FASCO, of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, discusses safety results for DESTINY-Gastric03 Part 2 (arms D and F) and Part 4. The trial evaluated first-line fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki–based regimens in advanced HER2-expressing gastric cancer, gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma, and esophageal carcinoma (Abstract 4002).
