Mayer, MD, MPH, of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, presents the key secondary endpoint of overall survival in the PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN-altered population of CAPItello-291, the phase 3 trial of capivasertib plus fulvestrant in hormone receptor positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative advanced breast cancer.
Erica L. Mayer, MD, MPH, of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, explains the statistical framework behind the final overall survival analysis of CAPItello-291, the phase 3 trial of capivasertib plus fulvestrant in hormone receptor positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative advanced breast cancer.
Erica L. Mayer, MD, MPH, of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, recaps the primary analysis of CAPItello-291 in hormone receptor positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative advanced breast cancer, in which capivasertib plus fulvestrant improved progression-free survival from 3.1 to 7.3 months (hazard ratio, 0.50) in the PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN-altered population and from 3.6 to 7.2 months (hazard ratio, 0.60) overall, with benefit regardless of ESR1 alteration or prior cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitor exposure, findings that supported the original approval.
Erica L. Mayer, MD, MPH, of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, reviews the design of CAPItello-291, a phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in hormone receptor positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative advanced breast cancer after endocrine progression, allowing up to 2 prior endocrine lines and 1 prior chemotherapy, requiring a majority of patients to have received a prior cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitor, permitting hemoglobin A1c up to 8%, and enrolling without biomarker selection.

The faculty discuss how to individualize the choice between chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy and bispecific antibodies in relapsed multiple myeloma.
This opening segment introduces a discussion on ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel) in multiple myeloma and frames the questions the program sets out to answer: how chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy should be sequenced among the available options, and how care can be coordinated across a network spread between referring practices and treating centers.
Dr. Mikhael begins the scientific foundation by asking Dr. Richardson to define CELMoDs and explain how they engage the cereblon E3 ubiquitin ligase complex to promote targeted degradation of Ikaros and Aiolos, key transcription factors involved in myeloma-cell biology.
Erica L. Mayer, MD, MPH, of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, reviews the rationale for capivasertib in hormone receptor positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative advanced breast cancer, noting phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathway alterations in nearly half of patients, activation through PIK3CA or AKT alterations or PTEN loss, and guideline recommendations for capivasertib plus fulvestrant in altered disease after endocrine progression.
