Strategies from the COVID-19 pandemic such as flexible, patient-focused approaches and telehealth may work to increase enrollment on clinical lung cancer trials by increasing accessibility.

Minimal residual disease negativity may predict outcomes for patients with multiple myeloma on maintenance therapy with lenalidomide who previously underwent autologous stem cell transplantation.

CancerNetwork® sat down with Alexander Spira, MD, PhD, FACP, at the 2021 World Conference on Lung Cancer to talk about KRAS as a therapy biomarker in lung cancer.

CancerNetwork® sat down with Larry Anderson, MD, PhD, at the 18th International Myeloma Workshop to talk about how the emergence of CAR T-cell therapies in multiple myeloma affects multidisciplinary clinicians.

Findings from a phase 1/2 study indicated that patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma who were treated with iberdomide plus dexamethasone and daratumumab/bortezomib or carfilzombib experienced promising efficacy and tolerable safety.

Patients with multiple myeloma with standard or high-risk cytogenic abnormalities who were treated with carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone plus autologous stem cell transplant experienced promising responses.

Updated results confirmed the safety and efficacy of the quadruplet regimen of fixed-dose isatuximab-irfcc in combination with bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma with no immediate intent for transplant.

The combination of daratumumab plus lenalidomide and dexamethasone demonstrated a significant overall survival benefit compared with lenalidomide and dexamethasone alone for patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

The phase 3 POSEIDON trial indicated that patients with metastatic non–small cell lung cancer who were treated with first-line durvalumab and chemotherapy with or without tremelimumab experienced a statistically significant survival benefit.

The use of onvansertib in combination with standard-of-care chemotherapy had an increase in the objective response rate and progression-free survival during the phase 1b/2 trial for metastatic colorectal cancer.

Patients with EGFR-mutated non–small cell lung cancer who were treated with ado-trastuzumab emtansine and osimertinib experienced minimal anti-tumor outcomes.

Previously platinum-treated patients with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation–positive non–small cell lung cancer saw clinical activity with mobocertinib regardless of prior PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor history.

The introduction of targeted therapies and immunotherapeutics may work to improve survival for patients with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

The anti-PD-1 antibody spartalizumab demonstrated promising responses in patients with recurrent/metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer.

In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma were more likely to be hospitalized or die from COVID-19 versus the overall population.

Durable efficacy and a manageable safety profile were observed with selpercatinib for Chinese patients with advanced, RET fusion–positive non–small cell lung cancer.

For patients with KRAS G12C–mutated non–small cell lung cancer and stable brain metastases who were previously treated with either radiation or surgery, robust anticancer activity was observed with intracranial complete responses and continued intracranial stabilization with sotorasib.

Patients with EGFR-positive non–small cell lung cancer whose disease is not suitable for standard EGFR TKI monotherapy had promising responses and experienced few dose-limiting toxicities with pelcitoclax plus osimertinib.

Patients with stage IIIB and stage IV advanced squamous non–small cell lung cancer experienced a clinically significant improvement in progression-free survival with tislelizumab plus chemotherapy in the first-line setting compared with standard of care chemotherapy.

Data from the ARROW study demonstrated safety and efficacy of pralsetinib in a cohort of Chinese patients with RET fusion–positive non–small cell lung cancer.

In a phase 1/2 trial, the selective targeting of EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations with mobocertinib in patients with previously treated non–small cell lung cancer resulted in superior patient-reported outcomes.

Clinical decision-making based on minimal residual disease may be associated with improved therapy satisfaction and optimized post-remission treatment for patients with intermediate-risk acute myeloid leukemia.

Findings from the phase 2 NRG-LU001 trial indicated that the addition of metformin to radiotherapy did not improve survival outcomes in patients with non–small cell lung cancer.

RenovoCath, which was granted a new 510(k) clearance by the FDA, distributes chemotherapy directly to solid tumors via the arteries, opening avenues for a more targeted treatment.

After implementing disparity and demographic reporting in acute leukemia clinical trials, investigators did not report an increase in diverse trial participants.

The combination of zanubrutinib and zandelisib for the treatment of B-cell malignancies may offer patients the opportunity to receive therapy that is not based around chemotherapy.

Patients have higher odds of experiencing rapid relapse in triple-negative breast cancer if they have Medicaid or no insurance, are single, are Black, and have not undergone surgery.

Patients taking teclistamab for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma saw durable response, and a well-tolerated toxicity profile.
