Shilpa Gupta, MD, of Taussig Cancer Institute, discusses findings from the phase III MAIN-CAV study (Alliance A032001) of maintenance cabozantinib and avelumab vs avelumab after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced/metastatic urothelial cancer (Abstract 4514).
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).
Dai Chihara, MD, of The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, reviews results from an open-label, single-arm, phase II trial that investigated the combination of epcoritamab with R-miniCVP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, prednisone) in patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) classified as unfit or frail per geriatric assessment or not eligible for anthracycline chemotherapy due to reduced ejection function or prior exposure (Abstract 7002).
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).
Jessica J. Lin, MD, Mass General Brigham Cancer Institute, presents data from the ALKOVE-1 study, which is looking at the investigational ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) neladalkib among patients with ALK-positive non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); Dr. Lin discusses the first analyses of phase II TKI-pretreated patients and preliminary data in TKI-naive patients (Abstract 8503).
William G. Wierda, MD, PhD, of The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, presents pooled results from the BRUIN CLL-313 and BRUIN CLL-314 trials. BRUIN CLL-313 is comparing pirtobrutinib to bendamustine plus rituximab in treatment-naive patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL); BRUIN CLL-314 is comparing pirtobrutinib to ibrutinib in the same patient population (Abstract 7044).
