Research Reflections: Subbiah Reviews Striking ASCO 2022 Data Across Oncology

Author(s):

Dr Subbiah discusses research from the 2022 ASCO Annual Meeting, including phase 2 data (NCT04165772) in mismatch repair–deficient, locally advanced rectal cancer; findings from DESTINY-Breast04 (NCT03734029) in HER2-low unresectable and/or metastatic breast cancer; a first-in-human study (NCT04585750) in TP53-mutant advanced solid tumors; and data from LIBRETTO-001 (NCT03157128) in RET fusion–positive solid tumors.

Welcome to OncLive On Air®! I’m your host today, Caroline Seymour.

OncLive On Air® is a podcast from OncLive®, which provides oncology professionals with the resources and information they need to provide the best patient care. In both digital and print formats, OncLive® covers every angle of oncology practice, from new technology to treatment advances to important regulatory decisions.

In today’s episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Vivek Subbiah, MD, about data presented at the 2022 ASCO Annual Meeting that caught his attention. Dr Subbiah is an associate professor in the Investigational Cancer Therapeutics Department and the center clinical medical director of the Clinical Center for Targeted Therapy, Cancer Medicine Division, at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

In our exclusive interview, Dr Subbiah discussed findings from 4 presentations that stood out to him: phase 2 data (NCT04165772) demonstrating a 100% complete response rate in 12 patients with mismatch repair–deficient, locally advanced rectal cancer who received dostarlimab (Jemperli); DESTINY-Breast04 (NCT03734029), results he called “important and practice changing” for patients with HER2-low unresectable and/or metastatic breast cancer; a first-in-human study (NCT04585750) of PC14586, a novel agent targeting mutated TP53 in advanced solid tumors; and the LIBRETTO-001 trial (NCT03157128), which demonstrated that selpercatinib (Retevmo) can target RET-positive fusions in solid tumors.
