Novel KRAS G12C inhibitor shows promising antitumour activity in mutated pancreatic cancer
The investigational KRAS G12C inhibitor sotorasib appears to be active against previously treated KRAS p.G12C–mutated advanced pancreatic cancer while having an acceptable safety profile, according to the results of a phase I/II trial.
Is first-line lazertinib monotherapy a potential new SoC for EGFRm NSCLC?
Patients with EGFR-mutated (EGFRm) advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) exhibited significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) when treated with lazertinib compared with gefitinib in the first-line setting, results of the LASER301 trial showed.
Mutational ctDNA analysis helps predict benefit of 2L ripretinib or sunitinib in GIST
Next-generation sequencing (NGS)–based analysis of circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) helps predict benefit of second-line (2L) ripretinib or sunitinib therapy in patients with imatinib-resistant advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST), an exploratory subanalysis of the INTRIGUE trial has shown.
SPOTLIGHT shines on zolbetuximab-chemo potential for gastric/GEJ cancer
A combination regimen comprising zolbetuximab and mFOLFOX6* chemotherapy (CT) regimen showed potential as first-line treatment for claudin-18.2-positive**/HER2-negative (CLDN18.2+/HER2–) locally advanced unresectable or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction (G/GEJ) adenocarcinoma, according to the primary findings of the phase III SPOTLIGHT trial.
