Katharina C. Kaehler, MD, of University Hospital (UKSH), Campus Kiel, presents an update on the primary outcome and sensitivity analyses from the PIVOTAL phase III trial of daromun, a combination of two fibronectin-targeting immunocytokines (L19IL2 and L19TNF), as a neoadjuvant intralesional therapy in patients with resectable, locally advanced stage III melanoma (Abstract LBA9517).
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).

Sara A. Hurvitz, MD, FACP, of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, provides an update focusing on progression-free survival after next line of treatment and subsequent therapies among patients enrolled in the ASCENT-03 trial. The study compared sacituzumab govitecan vs chemotherapy in patients with previously untreated metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (Abstract 1001).

Peter Schmid, MD, PhD, FRCP, of Queen Mary University of London, shares more data from the phase III lidERA BC clinical trial. This analysis focused on the efficacy and safety of giredestrant in patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer, looking at both premenopausal and postmenopausal populations (Abstract 502).
