Welcome to OncLive News Network! I’m Gina Mauro.
In the phase 2 PANAMA trial, the addition of panitumumab to 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin significantly improved progression-free survival as a maintenance treatment over 5-FU/leucovorin alone in patients with RAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer.
Tisagenlecleucel led to a high response rate that proved durable, along with a favorable safety profile, in patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma following treatment with at least 2 prior regimens, as seen in the interim findings from the phase 2 ELARA trial.
The novel BCL-2 inhibitor lisaftoclax elicited encouraging responses with acceptable tolerability in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma and other hematologic cancers, according to data from a first-in-human phase 1 trial.
Phase 2 findings demonstrated that pembrolizumab in combination with gemcitabine and concurrent hypofractionated radiotherapy appears to be a promising and efficacious, bladder-sparing regimen for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer MIBC.
In 3.5-year follow-up of the KEYNOTE-426 trial, the frontline combination of pembrolizumab plus axitinib continued to show a survival benefit over single-agent sunitinib in patients with renal cell carcinoma.
In uterine cancer, the combination of pertuzumab and trastuzumab elicited a 37% disease control rate in patients with ERBB2/ERBB3-expressed, mutated, or -amplified uterine cancer, according to results from ASCO’s TAPUR study.
