January 9th 2025Panelists discuss the INSEMA trial, comparing no axillary surgery versus axillary sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in patients with early invasive breast cancer, exploring the implications for treatment decisions and patient outcomes.
SEQUOIA Trial: Updates from ASH 2024
December 21st 2024Experts review the 5-year results of the phase 3 SEQUOIA trial evaluating treatment options for previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma at the 66th American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting and Exposition 2024.
Venetoclax Combination: IDH1 Inhibitor Plus 7+3 Leads to Higher Remission and MRD
December 18th 2024With the Oncology Brothers, Uma Borate, MD, discusses how the combination of venetoclax with an IDH1 inhibitor and 7+3 chemotherapy leads to higher remission rates and MRD negativity in IDH1-mutated AML, offering a promising treatment option for these patients.
CPX-351 vs 7+3: AML-MR Mutations Drive the Benefit of CPX-351 Over 7+3
December 18th 2024With the Oncology Brothers, Uma Borate, MD, discusses how CPX-351 demonstrates superior efficacy over 7+3 chemotherapy in treating acute myeloid leukemia with mutations in measurable residual disease (AML-MR) by specifically targeting the genetic mutations driving the disease, leading to improved patient outcomes.
Overview of KOMET-007: Ziftomenib Use in NPM-1m or KMT2A-r AML
December 18th 2024With the Oncology Brothers, Uma Borate, MD, discusses how ziftomenib is showing promising results as a targeted therapy for NPM1-mutated and KMT2A-rearranged acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in the ongoing KOMET-007 trial, offering potential new treatment options for this challenging patient population.
Elacestrant: Clinical Pearls for Adverse Effect Management
November 25th 2024Along with the Oncology Brothers, Paolo Tarantino, MD, discusses what has been learned about the safety profile of elacestrant and shares clinical pearls for adverse event management, aimed at helping patients remain on therapy while maximizing their quality of life.
EMERALD subgroup analysis: Elacestrant in endocrine-sensitive disease
November 25th 2024Along with the Oncology Brothers, Paolo Tarantino, MD, discusses the post -hoc subgroup analysis from the EMERALD study (SABCS 2023), which examined outcomes in patients with ESR1 mutations (ESR1m) who had been on CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) plus endocrine therapy for 12 months or longer, and shares her his perspectives on how these findings may influence the use of elacestrant in ER+/HER2–- metastatic breast cancer (MBC) and impact clinical practice for community oncologists.
Elacestrant as second-line therapy for ESR1-mutated, endocrine-sensitive disease
November 25th 2024Along with the Oncology Brothers, Paolo Tarantino, MD, elaborates on results from an analysis of data from the EMERALD study that were reported at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS) 2022. This analysis identified duration of prior CDK4/6 inhibitor therapy as a potential surrogate marker for endocrine sensitivity, and discusses how these findings could help guide patient selection for elacestrant.
Episode 2: Incidence of ESR1 mutations and best practices for testing
November 25th 2024Along with the Oncology Brothers, Paolo Tarantino, MD, discusses how ESR1 mutations are commonly observed in hormone receptor-positive breast cancer after prolonged endocrine therapy, and emphasizes the importance of molecular testing for ESR1 mutations at both the initial diagnosis of MBC and at each subsequent progression using liquid biopsy assays.
Co-occurrence of ESR1 mutations with other alterations
November 25th 2024Along with the Oncology Brothers, Paolo Tarantino, MD, explores how ESR1 mutations frequently co-occur with other molecular alterations and the importance of maximizing endocrine-based therapy before moving on to antibody-drug conjugates or chemotherapy.
Overview of phase 3 EMERALD study of elacestrant for ER+, HER2- MBC
November 22nd 2024Along with the Oncology Brothers, Paolo Tarantino, MD, provides an overview of the phase 3 EMERALD study that evaluated the efficacy of elacestrant as a second-line treatment for ER+, HER2- MBC, particularly in patients with tumors harboring an ESR1 mutation.
Key Highlights on POD1UM-303 Presented at ESMO 2024
October 10th 2024Panelists discuss how updates from the POD1UM-303/InterAACT2 trial presented at European Society for Medical Oncology Congress (ESMO) 2024 shed light on retifanlimab’s potential role in advancing treatment options for anal cancer patients.
