Vepdegestrant, a PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera (PROTAC) estrogen receptor (ER) degrader, plus palbociclib in ER (Stars at Night Ballroom 1-2) - Nov 4, 2023 - Abstract #SABCS2023SABCS_395; P1/2, P3 The safety profile of vepdegestrant plus palbo was generally consistent with the known safety profiles of the 2 agents except for an increased occurrence of grade 3/4 neutropenia, which was readily managed with laboratory monitoring and dose reductions of palbo. There is an ongoing study lead-in to the global VERITAC-3 study (NCT05909397) that is evaluating 2 doses of palbo (100 mg and 75 mg) in combination with vepdegestrant 200 mg QD to determine the recommended phase 3 combination to compare with letrozole plus palbo as first-line treatment for ER+/HER2- advanced breast cancer.

Inhibition of GPX4 enhances CDK4/6 inhibitor activity in breast cancer. (Stars at Night Ballroom 1-2) - Nov 4, 2023 - Abstract #SABCS2023SABCS_373; Background: Cyclin D-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) inhibitors (CDK4/6i) including palbociclib, ribociclib and abemaciclib in combination with endocrine therapy are the standard of care for patients with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+). Our studies demonstrate that quiescence induced by palbociclib results in a ferroptosis-vulnerable state that could be exploited through combination with GPX4 inhibitors to enhance sensitivity to CDK4/6 inhibition in breast cancer.

CDK4/6 inhibition is a potential vulnerability in NF1-depleted ER+ breast cancer (Hall 1) - Nov 4, 2023 - Abstract #SABCS2023SABCS_244; These data support a model whereby ER and RAS signaling converge upon CDK4/6, and CDK4/6 activation is a key survival mechanism when ER signaling is attenuated by treatment in NF1-depleted ER+ breast cancer cells. This apparent addiction for CDK4/6 activity makes NF1-depleted ER+ breast tumors vulnerable to CDK4/6 inhibition, thus creating a potential therapeutic opportunity to match CDK4/6 inhibition with patients who can benefit the most.

Journal: Targeting WNT/?-catenin via modulating EZH2 function - a new chapter in the treatment of ?-catenin mutant hepatocellular carcinoma? (Pubmed Central) - Nov 3, 2023 In a recent study, Rialdi and colleagues identified a specific vulnerability in ?-catenin mutant hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) via EZH2-mediated suppression of WNT signaling and revealed the selective anti-HCC activity of WNTinib, a chemical derivative of regorafenib and sorafenib in targeting this vulnerability. Their discoveries highlight the role of EZH2 in modulating WNT signaling and suggest an implication of WNTinihb as a small molecule inhibitor for the treatment of HCC with activated WNT/?-catenin.

Lower Cumulative Incidence of Relapse but Higher Incidence of NRM in Patients with Poor Graft Function Following Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation (SDCC - Halls G-H) - Nov 3, 2023 - Abstract #ASH2023ASH_6372; PGF was defined as follows: 1) =95% donor chimerism at last reading OR =95% CD3 negative chimerism; 2) =2 Lineage cytopenias defined as: Thrombocytopenia :=30x10 9 /L from D40-D60 OR =50 x10 9 /L from D60 onwards; neutropenia requiring filgrastim support at any time post D40; Hb <80g/L...Survival is inferior in patients with PGF particularly those with poor marrow recovery and this is mainly driven by non-relapse mortality. The lower CI of relapse in PGF is a novel finding of this study and may suggest a protective effect of PGF against the development of relapse but this finding requires further validation in external cohorts.

This novel combination merits further clinical investigation in advanced phase MPN.

(SDCC - Halls G-H) - Nov 3, 2023 - Abstract #ASH2023ASH_5680; Introduction : Dasatinib plus prednisone is a standard induction approach for adults with Philadelphia Chromosome positive (Ph+) ALL known to result in high remission rates with minimal toxicity, however optimal post-remission therapy has not been determined...Concurrent with TKI, patients could also receive blina for one or two cycles (at discretion of treating clinician), followed by up to four cycles of consolidative chemotherapy alternating between high-dose methotrexate (1.5g/m 2 ) and intermediate-dose cytarabine (1g/m 2 x 6 doses)...The optimal number of blina cycles given post-remission is unclear, though we observed favorable outcomes in patients receiving a median of only 1 cycle, and maximum of 2 cycles. Favorable outcomes despite the low rate of allogeneic SCT (21%) seen in our cohort suggest that SCT may be safely avoided for some patients who receive ponatinib plus blina and chemotherapy-based consolidation.
