Switching from FOLFIRI plus cetuximab to FOLFIRI plus bevacizumab leads to acceptable survival outcomes and a reduction in severe dermatological toxicities in patients with RAS wild-type (RASwt) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), according to the results of a single-arm phase II HYBRID trial.

Post hoc analysis of the phase III PAOLA-1/ENGOT-ov25 trial reports respective 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates of 72 percent vs 28 percent and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates of 88 percent vs 61 percent for maintenance olaparib plus bevacizumab vs bevacizumab alone in lower-risk homologous recombination deficiency (HRD)–positive patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer.

Treatment with nivolumab plus chemotherapy before surgery followed by nivolumab after surgery yields superior outcomes for patients with resectable nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as compared with placebo plus chemotherapy, regardless of the number of completed neoadjuvant cycles, according to an exploratory analysis of the CHECKMATE 77T trial.

Nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with high PD-L1 expression appear to show a strong preference for receiving atezolizumab subcutaneously rather than intravenously.

Use of anlotinib combined with etoposide and carboplatin (EC; chemotherapy) as first-line therapy for patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) yields a significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) as well as overall survival (OS) benefits when compared with chemotherapy, according to data from the phase III ETER701 trial presented at ELCC 2024.

Treatment with amivantamab (ami) in combination with chemotherapy (chemo) results in substantially longer time to treatment discontinuation (TTD), time to subsequent therapy (TTST), and progression-free survival (PFS) after first subsequent therapy (PFS2) in patients with EGFR-mutant advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) following progression on osimertinib, as shown in a postprogression analysis.
