COI: trial PInejm.org/doi/full/10.10…Image
2/In HRR-def #mCRPC: adding talazoparib to enza as 1L improved rPFS(HR=0.45), #PSA-progression, time to chemo, RR, could ⬆️OS (HR=0.69, immature) from Ph 3 #TALAPRO-2 trial. Presented #GU23 @ASCO

5/More therapeutic option for #nccRCC! Results from phase 2 trial #KEYNOTEB61 support the use of Pembro+Lenvatinib as 1L therapy for patents with previously untreated advanced #nccRCC

@AlbigesL @ChungHanLee3 @TheLancetOncol @myESMO

6/For patients with high-risk biochemical recurrent #PC: phase 3 #EMBARK shows that enzalutamide plus leuprolide and enzalutamide monotherapy were superior to leuprolide alone in term of metastasis-free survival!

@SFreedlandMD @nealshore @NEJM

7/ Encouraging prelim findings from #AMG-509(xaluritamig): T cell engager targeting #STEAP1 immunotherapy in patients with #mCRPC improves clinical outcomes. Phase I safe and tolerable.

8/This phase 2 trial demonstrated that #NAC in high-grade #UTUC was tolerated, and lead to ⬆️PFS and OS of responders compared to non responders. Kudos to the exceptional team @MSKCancerCenter GU Center @DrRosenbergMSK

@JCO_ASCO @bbmdmsk #Coleman #Bajorin

9/More on #RCC from#CONTACT-03 led by @montypal : 1st trial assessing #rechallenging with #ICI in #RCC with #anti-PDL1 didn’t show improvement of PFS and OS , w/ ⬆️toxicity.

@montypal @tompowles1 @TheLancet @ASCO @AlbigesL presented #ASCO23 @ASCO

10/Promising data from this phase1 trial evaluating☢️ radioligand therapy with #ICI in patients with #mCRPC:a single priming dose of #LuPSMA followed by pembro maintenance was safe with confirmed OR.

END OF YEAR TOP ALL CANCER TRIALS in 2024!

JUST in on 1 JAN 2025:

Paper 1:

#neoadjuvant checkpoint inhibitor Phase 3 trial in melanoma! #NADINA trial shows ipi+nivo significantly improves EFS vs. adjuvant nivo alone (HR 0.32, p<0.0001). #ASCO24 plenary #Melanoma @ASCO @ProfCUBlankNKI

nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…Image
Image
Paper 2:

The #TRANSMET study shows liver transplantation + chemo improves 5-year survival (56.6%) vs chemo alone (12.6%) for unresectable colorectal liver metastases. A potential game-changer in colorectal liver metastases! @TheLancetOncol



@GelliMaximilia1 @CHBPaulBrousse @GustaveRoussythelancet.com/journals/lance…Image
Paper 3:

The #TOPGEAR trial in @NEJM reveals: Adding preoperative chemoradiotherapy to perioperative chemo in resectable gastric cancer doubled pathological complete responses (17% vs 8%) but did not boost overall survival.

A step forward in understanding optimal strategies for gastric cancer treatment!

And now, onto the Top 10 Translational GU Papers of 20-23. Again, not an exhaustive list, with some our @DanaFarber @DanaFarber_GU being involved in.

Let us start! Image
1/#RCC histological subtypes display diverse epigenetic configurations. Allelic imbalances play a role in modifying TF binding sites, especially through candidate SNPs.

Potential targets for future investigations and therapeutic strategies?

1/ #ARASENS phase 3 trial shows ⬆️OS with darolutamide in combination with docetaxel and ADT in #mHSPC (vs docetaxel + ADT alone) with similar AE profile, leading to @US_FDA approval.

Now that #ASCO22 abstracts are released, more insights into Top 10 #GUOnc abstracts (still many LBAs):

@DanaFarber_GU @OncoAlert @ASCO @ASCOPost

1/LBA| Chris Ryan @OHSUKnight=>The long awaited EVEREST study with adjuvant everolimus in RCC: stay tuned!
2/Interesting relationship between DepOR and clinical outcomes in CM-9ER! Greater proportions of pts receiving Nivo+Cabo had deeper responses vs SUN. This translated into better PFS/OS

Dr. Cristina Súarez @vallhebron Image
3/Better HEQOL baseline scores were associated with significantly reduced death on Checkmate-214. Pts with improved/stable 6mo-HRQoL had a 52% reduction in risk of death compared to pts who had worsened.

2/ MRI with targeted & standard biopsy in men with MRI suggestive of prostate cancer (PC) was noninferior to standard biopsy for detecting clinically significant PC &resulted in less detection of clinically insignificant cancer @NEJM @TobiasNordstrom
