First-line treatment with datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) results in statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) compared with chemotherapy in patients with locally recurrent inoperable or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), as shown by the results of the phase III TROPION-Breast02 trial.

In the final overall survival (OS) analysis of the phase III ICON8B trial, first-line treatment with bevacizumab in combination with a chemotherapeutic regimen comprising carboplatin Q3W and dose-dense paclitaxel QW improved survival in women with high-risk stage III-IV epithelial ovarian cancer.

The final, long-term results from the phase III CheckMate 238 trial continue to show the superior recurrence-free survival (RFS) benefit of adjuvant nivolumab (NIVO) over ipilimumab (IPI) for resected stage IIIB-C or IV melanoma.

In the final overall survival (OS) analysis of the phase III EMBARK trial, the combination of enzalutamide and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT; leuprolide acetate) delivers a significant OS benefit in men with high-risk biochemically recurrent (hrBCR) prostate cancer without evidence of metastases on conventional imaging.

Final overall survival (OS) data analysis from the phase III ALEX study presented at ESMO 2025 indicates alectinib is superior to crizotinib in patients with previously untreated ALK-positive (ALK+) non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
