Because patients with myeloma are at a high risk for financial hardship, study findings support the use of a financial navigation program to reduce financial toxicities of patients.

Zanubrutinib plus obinutuzumab and venetoclax appears to be well tolerated in patients with TP53-mutated mantle cell lymphoma, says Anita Kumar, MD.

Acalabrutinib on its own or in combination with obinutuzumab increases PFS and ORR in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia regardless of mutation status, according to follow-up data from the ELEVATE-TN trial.

Single-agent treatment with odronextamab continued to demonstrate encouraging clinical activity, along with a manageable safety profile, in patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Treatment with zanubrutinib also appears to improve overall survival compared with ibrutinib among patients with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma in the phase 3 ALPINE trial.

The use of teclistamab in the real-world phase 2 MajesTEC-1 analysis showed similar safety and efficacy for patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Data from the phase 3 TROPION-Breast01 trial support datopotamab deruxtecan as a potential treatment option for those with hormone receptor–positive breast cancer.

Treatment with nivolumab plus gemcitabine-cisplatin appears to confer rapid and enduring responses in patients with unresectable or metastatic urothelial carcinoma in the phase 3 CheckMate 901 trial.

Subgroup analyses in the phase 3 KEYNOTE-641 trial do not indicate an overall survival improvement with pembrolizumab plus enzalutamide in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Shannon N. Westin, MD, MPH, FACOG, presented results showing a progression-free survival response with combination durvalumab plus olaparib in newly diagnosed advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer.

Neoadjuvant nivolumab combination followed by surgery and adjuvant nivolumab show an improvement in event-free survival for patients with previously untreated resectable stage II to IIIB non-small cell lung cancer.

Atezolizumab plus platinum chemotherapy showed significant improvement in progression-free survival for patients with frontline advanced or recurrent endometrial carcinoma.

Event-free survival benefits with pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy in the phase 3 KEYNOTE-522 trial appear to be consistent in triple-negative breast cancer across subgroups based on nodal status, tumor size, and PD-L1 status.

Five-year data from the monarchE trial support adding adjuvant abemaciclib to endocrine therapy for patients with hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative breast cancer.

The results of the phase 3 LUNAR trial evaluating tumor treating fields plus standard-of-care therapies among patients with metastatic non–small cell lung cancer are “encouraging,” according to an expert from Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University.

The antitumor activity of niraparib maintenance therapy in patients with advanced ovarian cancer remains unclear among those with measurable residual disease at baseline in the phase 3 PRIME study.

Maintenance with niraparib also produces benefits in chemotherapy-free interval and time to first and second therapy among those with BRCA wild-type recurrent ovarian cancer in the phase 3 NOVA study.

With no standard treatment available, darolutamide shows potential activity among patients with androgen receptor–positive salivary gland cancer in the phase 2 DISCOVARY trial.

Sustained improvements in leukemia outcomes in low- and middle-income countries are feasible with cross border programs, according to an expert from the University of California, San Diego.

Data from the phase 3 ZIRCON trial evaluating 89Zr-DFO-girentuximab in patients with renal tumors may be practice changing, according to an expert from the University of California Los Angeles.
