The CAR T-cell therapies axicabtagene ciloleucel, tisagenlecleucel, and lisocabtagene maraleucel evoked responses without increased risk of cytokine release syndrome or immune effector cell–associated neurotoxicity syndrome in patients with primary or secondary central nervous system large B-cell lymphoma.
Ciltacabtagene autoleucel generated deep responses and demonstrated manageable safety in patients with progressive multiple myeloma who were refractory to lenalidomide.
Axicabtagene ciloleucel continued to elicit high response rates and durable activity in patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma and marginal zone lymphoma, according to updated findings from the phase 2 ZUMA-5 trial.
The CAR T-cell therapy axicabtagene ciloleucel produced encouraging responses when used in the first-line treatment of patients with high-risk large B-cell lymphoma.
The utilization of lisocabtagene maraleucel in patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphomas produced durable outcomes at a 2 years follow-up.
Belimumab could be a potential treatment used to prevent chronic graft-vs-host-disease in patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic transplantation by inhibiting BAFF and limiting the survival of aforeactive B cells.
Axicabtagene ciloleucel resulted in a longer overall survival benefit in patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma who did not have event-free survival events at months 12 and 24 vs those who experienced events at these time points.
Investigators have explored the potential of KRAS inhibition in patients with colorectal cancer, and early results have established the pathway as a prime target for drug development.
The addition of durvalumab and tremelimumab to chemotherapy led to encouraging responses and a suitable safety profile as neoadjuvant therapy in patients with advanced ovarian cancer, according to findings from the phase 2 KGOG 3046.
The addition of adebrelimab to chemotherapy elicited improved overall survival compared with chemotherapy and placebo in patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer.
The addition of the selective oncolytic adenovirus CG0070 to pembrolizumab showed encouraging activity and safety in Bacillus Calmette-Guerin–unresponsive non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, according to early data from the phase 2 CORE1 trial.
The addition of canakinumab to frontline pembrolizumab and chemotherapy did not improve survival in previously untreated patients with locally advanced or metastatic non–small cell lung cancer. However, signals of activity were seen in patients with a baseline inflammatory biomarker high sensitivity-C-reactive protein.
The combination of the CD40 agonist antibody sotigalimab and pembrolizumab demonstrated a favorable safety profile and led to immunologic changes that correlated with clinical response in patients with unresectable stage III or IV metastatic melanoma.
The addition of the investigational anti-CD39 antibody TTX-030 to frontline treatment with the PD-L1 inhibitor budigalimab and mFOLFOX6 was determined to be safe and tolerable in patients with locally advanced or metastatic HER2-negative gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.
The combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in progression-free survival vs ipilimumab alone as second-line therapy in previously treated patients with stage III unresectable or stage IV melanoma.
The addition of BO-112 to pembrolizumab demonstrated efficacy and safety in patients with advanced melanoma who were resistant to anti–PD-1 therapies, according to final results from the phase 2 SPOTLIGHT203 trial.
Stéphane Champiat MD, PhD, discusses early efficacy seen with the combination of SOT101 and pembrolizumab in solid tumors.
MEDI5752 treatment led to a dose-dependent increase in peripheral T-cell proliferation and encouraging antitumor activity in patients with advanced solid tumors.
The combination of the novel adenoviral vector NG-641 and nivolumab is being investigated in patients in the phase 1a/b NEBULA trial in patients with previously treated metastatic or advanced epithelial tumors.
Resistance to CD19-directed CAR T-cell therapy was associated with molecular characteristics identified in pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Scott T. Tagawa, MD, MS, FACP, discusses the investigation of 225Ac-J591 and 177Lu-PSMA-I&T in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer in a phase 1/2 trial.
The investigational Wee1 inhibitor ZN-c3 was found to be safe and to produce a disease control rate of 90.9% and an objective response rate of 27.3% in patients with advanced or recurrent uterine serous carcinoma.
The combination of ibrutinib and venetoclax administered for a fixed duration elicited durable responses and sustained progression-free survival in previously untreated, high-risk patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma, according to data from the phase 2 CAPTIVATE trial.
High genomic loss of heterozygosity scores may serve as a predictive marker for response to treatment with talazoparib in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
The novel KRAS G12C inhibitor, JDQ443, demonstrated early efficacy signals and a tolerable safety profile in initial data from the dose-escalation portion of the phase 1b/2 KontRASt-01 trial.
Durvalumab plus either oleclumab, monalizumab, or damvatirsen led to an improvement in major pathologic response vs durvalumab alone as neoadjuvant therapy in patients with resectable, early-stage non–small cell lung cancer, according to findings from the phase 2 NeoCOAST clinical trial.
The combination of nivolumab plus platinum-doublet chemotherapy led to a significant improvement in event-free survival compared with chemotherapy alone as neoadjuvant treatment in patients with resectable non–small cell lung cancer, according to findings from the phase 3 CheckMate 816 trial.
