Michail Ignatiadis, MD, PhD, Jules Bordet Institute, Brussels, Belgium, comments on the TREAT ctDNA trial (NCT05512364) of elacestrant versus standard endocrine therapy in patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer experiencing circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) relapse. By using ctDNA as a biomarker, the trial aims to detect molecular recurrence early, potentially delaying distant metastasis onset. The study monitors outcomes such as distant metastasis-free survival, quality of life, and overall survival, with follow-up using imaging modalities over three years across multiple countries.

Janice Mehnert, MD, Perlmutter Cancer Center of NYU Langone Health, New York, NY, shares the results from a Phase I KN-8701 trial (NCT04913285) of exarafenib, a selective pan-RAF inhibitor, as monotherapy and in combination with binimetinib in NRAS-mutant melanoma. Promising responses were reported in patients receiving exarafenib, which was also tolerable when combined with binimetinib in most patients with NRAS-mutant melanoma.

Allison Betof Warner, MD, Stanford Cancer Center, Stanford, CA, shares results from a pilot trial (NCT05640193) that demonstrated the feasibility of lifileucel for active melanoma brain metastases (MBM). All patients successfully completed the trial without presenting complications like seizures or intracranial hemorrhage, and the safety of the modified treatment regimen resembled the standard lifileucel regimen. A majority of patients who underwent surgical excision successfully received the lifileucel infusion. Dr Warner concludes that although the pilot trial showed promising results, further expansion of this trial with careful selection of patients is necessary to ensure the complete safety and efficacy of lifileucel.

Javier Martin-Broto, MD, PhD, Hospital Universitario Fundación Jiménez Díaz, Madrid, Spain, highlights promising data from the IMMUNOSARC II trial (NCT03277924) of sunitinib with nivolumab in a clear cell sarcoma cohort. This regimen shows encouraging progression-free survival and overall survival. While early, these findings support incorporating immunomodulation into clear cell sarcoma treatment. However, understanding why not all patients benefit and identifying viable second-line options remain significant challenges.

Do-Youn Oh, MD, PhD, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul, South Korea, gives an overview of the DESTINY-PanTumor02 study (NCT04482309), which explores the safety and efficacy of trastuzumab deruxtecan in HER2-expressing biliary tract cancer (BTC) and pancreatic cancer. Significant clinical benefit was demonstrated in the BTC cohort, whereas in the pancreatic cancer cohort, response rates were lower, but the data still suggest potential efficacy. Safety outcomes were consistent with known profiles, with manageable adverse events. These findings support further investigation of T-DXd as a treatment option for HER2-expressing BTC and pancreatic cancer.

Cedric Pobel, MD, Gustave Roussy, Villejuif, France, discusses the identification of prognostic biomarkers for radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) and overall survival (OS) in the PEACE-1 trial (NCT01957436). In patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC), neuroendocrine marker positivity was associated with worse outcomes, while ERG positivity correlated with longer radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS). No biomarkers predicted response to abiraterone acetate and prednisone. This interview took place at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2024 Congress in Barcelona, Spain.

John Strickler, MD, Duke Cancer Institute, Durham, NC, gives an overview of the NICHE-2 trial (NCT03026140), which assessed immunotherapy for non-metastatic MSI-high colon cancer. Traditionally treated with resection and adjuvant chemotherapy, patients in the trial received nivolumab and ipilimumab. A promising 3-year disease-free survival rate was reported and the regimen was well-tolerated. The findings highlight the potential of the combination to become an emerging standard of care for this group of patients.
