Giannis S. Mountzios, MD, of Henry Dunant Hospital Center, reviews primary results from the phase III EVOKE-03/KEYNOTE D46 trial, which evaluated first-line sacituzumab govitecan in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with metastatic non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and a PD-L1 tumor proportion score of 50% or higher (Abstract PL02.06).
Chad G. Rusthoven, MD, of the University of Colorado School of Medicine, presents results from the international phase III SWOG S1827 MAVERICK trial, which showed that brain MRI surveillance alone improved cognitive failure–free survival compared with MRI surveillance plus prophylactic cranial irradiation in patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC). The findings support MRI surveillance alone as the standard of care for patients with SCLC (Abstract PL02.01).
Roy S. Herbst, MD, PhD, of Dartmouth Cancer Center, discusses 8-year overall survival data from the landmark ADAURA trial, which showed the sustained long-term benefit of adjuvant therapy with osimertinib for patients with completely resected, EGFR-mutated stage IB–IIIA non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (Abstract PL03.01).
Ricardo Sales dos Santos, MD, PhD, of the ProPulmão Institute, discusses data from the Third Brazilian Early Lung Cancer Trial (BRELT3). The study found low-dose computed tomography (CT) lung cancer screening using a mobile unit is feasible in socially vulnerable populations in resource-limited settings. Community-based recruitment, particularly through community health workers, improved the inclusion of high-risk and underserved groups, supporting the expansion of organized screening programs to promote equitable access and reduce lung cancer mortality (Abstract MO14.03).
Alberto A. Chiappori, MD, of Moffitt Cancer Center, discusses findings from a phase I trial looking at the safety and efficacy of LB2102, an autologous CAR-T cell therapy targeting DLL3 and armored with a dominant-negative TGF-beta receptor, in pretreated patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) (Abstract OA05.02).
Alexander Drilon, MD, of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, presents efficacy and safety data from a phase II cohort of the ARROS-1 trial, which included patients with locally advanced or metastatic ROS1-positive non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who were naive to tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy (Abstract PL03.06).
