The RET inhibitor TPX-0046 demonstrated encouraging preliminary activity, which included objective responses, and an acceptable toxicity profile when used in patients with RET-driven advanced solid tumors.

Data from the phase 3 CheckMate-9ER trial has not only confirmed the advantage of cabozantinib plus nivolumab in terms of progression-free survival, overall survival, and responses vs sunitinib in the frontline treatment of patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma, but it has served as additional incentive to push the needle even further with research aimed at evaluating triplet regimens in the frontline setting and response-guided sequencing strategies.

The combination of pembrolizumab and lenvatinib improved progression-free and overall survival, as well as response rates, compared with chemotherapy in patients with advanced endometrial cancer who received prior platinum-based chemotherapy, irrespective of mismatch repair status, according to phase 3 findings of the Study-309/KEYNOTE-775 trial.
