R/R MM: Insights Into Optimal Dosing for Bispecifics
December 3rd 2024Panelist discusses how bispecifics have had a major impact in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (R/R MM) because they provide a different way of attacking myeloma, allow oncologists an opportunity to care for patients who cannot have CAR T therapy, and allow oncologist to treat patients who have had an aggressive relapse. The panelist further discusses the importance of bispecifics dosing specifically to maintain a response with the drug but also to prevent the risk of patient infection.
Key Takeaways from the RELATIVITY-047 Trial: Managing Advanced Melanoma
December 2nd 2024Panelists discuss how the RELATIVITY-047 trial data highlights the efficacy of nivolumab plus relatlimab in managing advanced melanoma, offering improved progression-free survival with a favorable safety profile compared to with nivolumab alone.
Treatment Decisions in Metastatic Melanoma: Immunotherapy vs Targeted Therapy
December 2nd 2024Panelists discuss how treatment decisions in metastatic melanoma involve balancing the benefits of immunotherapy versus targeted therapy, taking into account factors such as tumor genetics, patient response, and tolerability.
INDIGO Trial: Examining IDH-Mutant Low-Grad Gliomas
December 2nd 2024Panelists discuss how the INDIGO trial results and vorasidenib's approval could shift treatment paradigms for IDH-mutant low-grade gliomas, weighing various clinical, molecular, and patient-specific factors when considering the integration of this novel targeted therapy into individualized treatment plans.
Panelists discuss how community centers can effectively implement bispecific antibody therapy for patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, addressing challenges such as staff training, patient monitoring, and managing potential adverse events in a non-academic setting.
Initial Impressions of the CEPHEUS Clinical Trial in Transplant Not-Preferred NDMM
November 26th 2024Panelists discuss how the CEPHEUS trial’s demonstration of improved progression-free survival with daratumumab-VRd versus VRd alone in transplant not-preferred NDMM provides compelling evidence for quadruplet therapy in this setting, though considerations of cost, toxicity management, and patient selection remain important factors in implementation.
Key Insights from the HER2CLIMB Trial
November 25th 2024Panelists discuss key data from the HER2CLIMB study, which evaluates the efficacy of tucatinib (Tukysa) in combination with trastuzumab (Herceptin) and capecitabine (Xeloda) for patients with advanced HER2+ breast cancer, highlighting outcomes across patient subgroups and the clinical significance of findings related to patients with measurable baseline intracranial disease.
Use of CAR T-cell Therapy in Earlier Lines in Relapsed Refractory Multiple Myeloma
Panelists discuss how the use of CAR T-cell therapy in earlier lines of treatment for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma could potentially improve long-term outcomes, considering factors such as patient selection, optimal timing, and the impact on subsequent treatment options.
Navigating Systemic Therapy Options in HER2+ Breast Cancer
November 25th 2024Panelists discuss a high-level overview of systemic therapies for advanced HER2+ breast cancer, outlining the roles of HER2-targeted monoclonal antibodies, tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) in treatment, as well as treatment strategies for patients with brain metastases. They also explore the shared decision-making process that informed the recommendation of the HER2CLIMB regimen.
IDH Inhibitors in the Treatment of Low-Grade Gliomas
November 25th 2024Panelists discuss how IDH inhibitors such as ivosidenib could potentially reshape the treatment approach for low-grade gliomas, while also exploring what further clinical evidence would be necessary to confidently integrate these novel agents into standard care protocols.
