    The use of real-world data (RWD) for generating real-world evidence (RWE) to complement interventional clinical trial-based research is rapidly increasing. This evolving field is particularly prevalent in oncology with a growing number of publications and increased use of RWD in medicine regulation in recent years.1, 2, 3, 4 Improving the quality of RWE is crucial for patients, the scientific community and health care authorities. A comprehensive literature search of the existing guidance for reporting

    Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapies are limited by antigen escape and on-target/off-tumor toxicity. In addressing these challenges, Haubner et al. develop an “IF-BETTER” strategy. Their combinatorial chimeric co-stimulatory receptor with an attenuated CAR enhances acute myeloid leukemia (AML) killing while protecting healthy progenitors, highlighting the potential to leverage cooperative CAR designs.

    AbstractPurpose:. Despite promising preclinical studies, toxicities have precluded combinations of chemotherapy and DNA damage response (DDR) inhibitors. We hypothesized that tumor-targeted chemotherapy delivery might enable clinical translation of such combinations.Patients and Methods:. In a phase I trial, we combined sacituzumab govitecan, antibody–drug conjugate (ADC) that delivers topoisomerase-1 inhibitor SN-38 to tumors expressing Trop-2, with ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related (ATR) inhibitor berzosertib. Twelve patients were enrolled across three dose levels.Results:. Treatment was well tolerated, with improved safety over conventional chemotherapy-based combinations, allowing escalation to the highest dose. No dose-limiting toxicities or clinically relevant ≥grade 4 adverse events occurred. Tumor regressions were observed in 2 patients with neuroendocrine prostate cancer, and a patient with small cell lung cancer transformed from EGFR-mutant non–small cell lung cancer.Con

    PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of tucatinib and trastuzumab in patients with previously treated human epidermal growth factor receptor 2–positive (HER2+) metastatic biliary tract cancer (mBTC). METHODS SGNTUC-019 (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04579380) is an open-label phase II basket study evaluating the efficacy and safety of tucatinib and trastuzumab in patients with HER2-altered solid tumors. In the biliary tract cancer cohort, patients had previously treated HER2 overexpressing or amplified (HER2+) tumors (identified with local testing) with no prior HER2-directed therapy. The primary end point was confirmed objective response rate (cORR) per investigator assessment. Patients were treated on a 21-day cycle with tucatinib (300 mg orally twice daily) and trastuzumab (8 mg/kg intravenously followed by 6 mg/kg every 3 weeks). RESULTS Thirty patients were enrolled. As of data cutoff (January 30, 2023), the median duration of follow-up was 10.8 months. The cORR was 46.

    Precision medicine approaches for solid tumors are mainly based on genomics. Its employment in clinical trials has led to somewhat underwhelming results, except for single responses. Moreover, several factors can influence the response, such as gene and protein expression, the coexistence of different genomic alterations or post-transcriptional/translational modifications, the impact of tumor microenvironment, etc., therefore making it insufficient to employ a genomics-only approach to predict response. Recently, the implementation of patient-derived organoids has shed light on the possibility to use them to predict patient response to drug treatment. This could offer for the first time the possibility to move precision medicine to a functional environment.

    Summary. In 180 patients with metastatic breast cancer and non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), HER3 expression was found in >70% of brain metastases (BM). HER3-targeting antibody–drug conjugates have demonstrated efficacy in HER3-expressing metastatic breast cancer and NSCLC. Thus, HER3 expression by IHC may be a biomarker for development of HER3-targeting BM-specific therapeutics.See related article by Tomasich et al., p. 3225

    The exact mechanisms that govern clonal dynamics and selection during early tumorigenesis remain largely elusive. Ceresa et al. provide experimental and mathematical evidence that MYC-dependent competition between individual clones is one driving force of brain tumor evolution, adding a winner/loser aspect to the picture that complements existing concepts.
