Ok...Honeymoon is over & now time to dissect the exciting new data presented @ #ESMO2020 for #GEC #KN590 #CM649 #ATTRCN4 #CM577
1st, thank you to all the pts who participated!
& 2nd, congrats to all the investigators involved!
It's fantastic to have +ve studies! Lets dive deep:
*Caution
I think the facts are accurate - please correct if not. (seeking the truth here)
My opinions are my opinions.

No CME offered unfortunately 😒😉
Enjoy...
Background:
IO monotx effective in a subgroup of GEC pts in 1L+:
1. MSI-H
2. High PDL1 (cut-off at least CPS 10 22C3)
3. low tumor burden
4. PS0
5. Asian > Western pts
6. SCC > AC
7. GC > EGJ
Outside of above, most pts are better-served w chemo based on crossing #yinyang curves

It will be important to look at the data closely, particularly by histology. Merck’s KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) in Combination W Chemo Significantly Improved OS and PFS Compared W Chemo in 1L Metastatic Esophageal Cancer | Business Wire businesswire.com/news/home/2020…
We must recall that a ~500 pt study of the exact same regimen KN062 was recently statistically negative (HR0.85 p=0.046) in CPS>0 in adeno. Now the same regimen in KN590 N=749, in all-comers irrespective of PDL1 but including SCC, is +ve. What could be driving this difference?🤔
Let’s see the data: the make-up by histology (& PDL1!) & the benefit magnitude diffs (as might be expected) b/w them before we jump to conclusions on both CM577 and KN590, and also CM649. Let’s not make press releases drive the science! #esmo2020 is going to be a doozy for #GEA!!
