    Charlotte Zuur, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, The Netherlands, discusses the clinical implications of the MATISSE trial (NCT02760498) for patients with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC). The trial results principally evaluated whether patients with a deep response to neoadjuvant immunotherapy might be spared intensive standard-of-care surgery and radiotherapy.

    7500 Background: The Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi) ibrutinib +/- anti-CD20 antibody obinutuzumab (IO) is a standard frontline regimen for older adults with CLL. BTKi alone do not often lead to complete response (CR) or undetectable minimal residual disease (uMRD), thus are given indefinitely. Smaller trials showed that IO plus venetoclax (IVO) can induce uMRD CRs which may allow successful discontinuation. Methods: Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology A041702 is a multicenter trial designed to evaluate if IVO with response-guided discontinuation of I improves progression free survival (PFS) versus IO with indefinite I in treatment-naïve, older CLL pts. IO is given in standard fashion, and in the IVO arm V is added at C3D1 and continued until C14D28. After 14 cycles, pts undergo response evaluation including CT scans and bone marrow biopsy with central MRD assessment by flow cytometry. Pts in IVO arm with uMRD CR discontinue I; all others continue I until progression or

    Erika Hamilton, MD, Sarah Cannon Research Institute, Nashville, TN, comments on results by age in the Phase III monarchE trial (NCT03155997) of adjuvant abemaciclib combined with endocrine therapy in patients with high-risk early breast cancer. Patients aged 65 years or over had survival outcomes similar to those who are younger. Safety and tolerability were also comparable, and dose reduction is additionally possible, reducing the rate of discontinuation.

    KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) is the first anti-PD-1 therapy to demonstrate statistically significant improvement in OS as a neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatment versus pre-operative chemotherapy for NSCLC Merck (NYSE: MRK), known as MSD outside of the United States and Canada, today announced the Phase 3 KEYNOTE-671 trial investigating KEYTRUDA, Merck’s anti-PD-1 therapy, as a perioperative treatment regimen for patients with resectable stage II, IIIA or IIIB (T3-4N2) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) met its dual primary endpoint of overall survival (OS). At a pre-specified interim analysis, KEYTRUDA plus chemotherapy before surgery (neoadjuvant), followed by resection and KEYTRUDA as a single agent after surgery (adjuvant), demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in OS compared to neoadjuvant placebo plus chemotherapy followed by adjuvant placebo in these patients. The safety profile of KEYTRUDA was consistent with that observed in previously

    Natalie Vokes, MD, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX, discusses the EMPOWER-Lung 1 trial (NCT03088540), which investigated cemiplimab versus chemotherapy in patients with advanced, PD-L1-high non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The aim of the study was to assess the use of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) dynamics to understand immunotherapy responses. A clear bimodal distribution was witnessed in the immunotherapy cohort. In the chemotherapy cohort, many patients ctDNA reduced, but there was markedly less complete clearance. Patients who had a complete clearance of ctDNA had better long-term outcomes in terms of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). In terms of radiographic response assessments, dynamics correlated with either partial response or progressive disease. However, patients with stable disease either saw a rise or a fall in ctDNA levels. These patients could be categorized based on their ctDNA levels. Therefore, this study high

    Andrew J. Armstrong, MD, MSc, Duke Cancer Institute, Durham, NC, shares an overview of a study aiming to development and validate an AI-derived digital pathology-based biomarker to predict benefit of long-term androgen deprivation therapy with radiotherapy in men with localized high-risk prostate cancer across multiple Phase III NRG/RTOG trials.The researchers utilized digitized pre-treatment prostate biopsy slides from multiple phase III trials and trained an artificial intelligence (AI)-derived biomarker to predict the differential benefit of long-term (LT) ADT on distant metastasis (DM). The biomarker was then validated on a separate trial. Results showed that the AI biomarker accurately predicted the benefit of LTADT, allowing for personalized treatment decisions. The biomarker identified subgroups of patients who could derive similar benefits with short-term ADT, avoiding unnecessary side effects. This study demonstrates the potential of AI-derived biomarkers in guiding ADT durati
