Alicia K. Morgans, MD, MPH, from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute indicates that patients with non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer are able to stay on treatment for long periods of time with darolutamide vs enzalutamide and apalutamide.

Data from the phase 2 KEYNOTE-B61 trial indicate that pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib’s safety profile in the first-line treatment of patients with non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma is safe and manageable.

Findings from the phase 3 SWOG S1011 trial highlight no significant differences between extended lymphadenectomy vs standard lymphadenectomy in terms of disease-free survival in patients with muscle-invasive breast cancer.

Pembrolizumab plus axitinib also improves the overall response rate vs sunitinib alone among patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma in the phase 3 KEYNOTE-426 trial.

Data from the phase 3 CONTACT-03 trial highlight the necessity of randomized, prospective assessment of re-challenge with checkpoint inhibitors in renal cell carcinoma, according to an expert from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

Pembrolizumab in combination with enfortumab vedotin-ejfv demonstrates a manageable safety profile in the treatment of metastatic urothelial carcinoma in the EV-103 trial.

Lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab generates no new safety signals among patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma in the phase 3 CLEAR study.

The overall survival benefit of erdafitinib supports molecular testing of FGFR in all patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma, according to an expert from University Paris-Saclay in France.

Talazoparib plus enzalutamide appears to improve the objective response rate vs enzalutamide plus placebo among patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer harboring homologous recombination repair mutations in the phase 3 TALAPRO-2 study.

Germline and somatic BRCA1/2 alterations correlate with worse survival in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer in the CAPTURE trial.

Patients with renal cell carcinoma with variant histologies appear to benefit from treatment with a triplet regimen of cabozantinib, nivolumab, and ipilimumab.

According to an expert from Johns Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center, radium-223 shows positive efficacy and safety findings for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

The combination is also associated with a manageable toxicity profile in the second and subsequent treatment lines for patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma.

A recent phase 3 trial of the combination included a total of 398 patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, unselected for homologous recombination repair gene alterations, in the safety cohort.

The treatment discontinuation rate was 30.4% for darolutamide, 40.8% for enzalutamide, and 46.0% for apalutamide among patients with nonmetastatic prostate cancer, according to a recent analysis.

Tanya Dorff, MD, spoke about how CAR T-cell therapy could be a potential new addition to the prostate cancer treatment paradigm based on data from ongoing studies.
