In an interview with Targeted Oncology, Thomas Powles, MD, MBBS, MRCP, discussed the impressive performance of enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma, as seen in the EV-302 trial.

Binod Dhakal, MD, MS, discusses the safety data from the phase 2 IMPEDE study of isatuximab, pomalidomide, elotuzumab, and dexamethasone for the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

By expediting referral processes, enhancing information quality, and boosting patient satisfaction, these systems are reshaping healthcare experiences for both providers and patients.

The investigational new drug application for OriCAR-017 has been cleared by the FDA for the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

If approved, trastuzumab deruxtecan would be the first HER2-directed antibody-drug conjugate for a tumor-agnostic indication.

Matthew Matasar, MD, discussed the rationale and findings of the doublet consisting of ibrutinib and venetoclax for the treatment of mantle cell lymphoma.

Bruno R. Bastos, MD, discusses findings from a study which assessed the pharmacodynamic and radiographic changes among patients with renal cell carcinoma who were treated with the combination of nivolumab and TPST-1120.

In an interview with Targeted Oncology, Mark Dybul, MD, discussed a breakthrough method of immunotherapy in solid tumors.

Subcutaneous nivolumab coformulated with rHuPH20 showed noninferiority of PK exposures compared with intravenous nivolumab in metastatic ccRCC.

Adjuvant pembrolizumab treatment significantly improved overall survival vs placebo in patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

In the phase 3 CheckMate 914 trial, the use of nivolumab did not meet the primary endpoint of disease-free survival when compared to a placebo in patients with localized renal cell carcinoma at a heightened risk of relapse following nephrectomy.

Real-world, retrospective data showed that morphologic renal cell carcinoma types and tumor-stages helps to inform recurrence and prognosis.

Pembrolizumab with lenvatinib continued to demonstrate antitumor activity and led to longer survival rates vs historical controls in patients with advanced non–clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

First-line lenvatinib and pembrolizumab showed similar overall survival rates and improved progression-free survival and response rates vs global standard-of-care immunotherapies among patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma.

Martin H. Voss, MD, discusses what community oncologists should takeaway from the the extended follow-up data of the phase 2 KEYNOTE-B61 study which assessed first-line pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib for patients with non-clear cell renal carcinomas.

The phase 3 AMBASSADOR Alliance A031501 trial of adjuvant pembrolizumab in muscle-invasive and locally advanced urothelial carcinoma successfully achieved its primary end point. However, the interim analysis did not meet the overall survival end point.

The phase 3 EV-302/KEYNOTE-A39 trial, which includes prespecified subgroup analyses, revealed favorable outcomes compared with chemotherapy. The findings pertain to patients with previously untreated locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma.

Pembrolizumab and cabozantinib showed promising results as first-line treatment for advanced urothelial carcinoma, including those who were ineligible for cisplatin.

In patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer unresponsive to BCG who underwent nadofaragene firadenovec (Adstiladrin) treatment, those who achieved urinary minimal residual disease (uMRD)-negative status showed no recurrences.

Chakra Chaulagain, MD, discusses the context of an analysis which assessed autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation refusal rates among patients with multiple myeloma.

Joseph M. Jacob, MD, discusses the key takeaways from the SunRISe-1 study and data presented at the 2024 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium.

The combination of pembrolizumab and lenvatinib appears to be effective in for the treatment of patients with endometrial cancer, regardless of biomarker status.

Individuals diagnosed with HRR gene-mutated metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) receiving olaparib face a critical requirement for timely and consistent genetic testing to enhance treatment outcomes.

In an interview with Targeted Oncology, Randeep Sangha, MD, discussed the background of the phase 1 study and the rationale for studying zelenirstat for the treatment of solid tumors and hematologic malignancies.

The combination of olaparib and abiraterone acetate resulted in a postponement of disease progression and enhanced outcomes for individuals with mutations in BRCA, ATM, and CDK12 in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

A post hoc sensitivity analysis that counted use of subsequent therapies in patients censored from primary overall survival follow-up favored darolutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy and docetaxel in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.

Regarding safety, the investigators did not observe any grade 3 or 4 adverse events during the study.

A higher dose of radiation therapy led to longer progression-free, cancer-specific, and overall survival, compared with the standard dose, in combination with long-term ADT in patients with high-risk prostate cancer.
