- |||||||||| Efficacy and safety of KRAS p.G12C inhibitors in advanced NSCLC: A systematic review and meta-analysis. () - Apr 23, 2025 - Abstract #ASCO2025ASCO_6512;
This meta-analysis underscores the favorable safety and efficacy profiles of KRAS p.G12C inhibitors after first-line progression in advanced NSCLC, despite the frequent adverse events, which were considered manageable. Further randomized controlled trials are expected to confirm these results and refine their role in subgroup populations, including STK1 and KEAP1 co-mutations, that confer even poor prognosis.

A systematic review of CAR T-cell therapy in lung cancer: Move forward or move on? () - Apr 23, 2025 - Abstract #ASCO2025ASCO_6461; P1, P1/2 The best response has been PR in < 10% of reported patients; this is not encouraging, but the details of individual patients are unclear for a meta-analysis. The results of ongoing clinical trials will be important to inform the direction of future investigations.

Real-world effectiveness of lurbinectedin in extensive stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). () - Apr 23, 2025 - Abstract #ASCO2025ASCO_6343; If the median TTD can be considered a potential surrogate for progression free survival (PFS), then we would have a PFS of 3 months which is slightly shorter in our cohort compared to 3.5 months reported by Trigo et al in their original paper. Retrospective nature of the study and lack of control group, however, limit the predictor variables.

The prognostic value of acneiform rash grade in metastatic colorectal cancer patients treated with EGFR inhibitors. () - Apr 23, 2025 - Abstract #ASCO2025ASCO_4957; Specifically, patients with higher-grade rashes had an approximately 40% reduction in the risk of both progression and death for each increase in rash grade. These findings suggest that rash grade may serve as a prognostic indicator of treatment outcomes, offering insight into patient management strategies and guiding clinical decision-making in EGFRi therapy.
- |||||||||| Rechallenge with epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors for metastatic colorectal cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis. () - Apr 23, 2025 - Abstract #ASCO2025ASCO_4866;
In 20 studies, EGFRi rechallenge was given only to patients previously progressing on 5-fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin or irinotecan...The pooled ORR was 15% (95% CI, 9%-24%) which is numerically higher than that achieved by FDA-approved third-line agents (trifluridine/tipiracil plus bevacizumab 6.1%, fruquintinib 2%, and regorafenib 1.5%)... EGFRi rechallenge is associated with a significantly longer PFS, numerically longer OS and clinically meaningful ORR as compared with EGFRi-free systemic therapy in patients with heavily-pretreated mCRC, particularly for patients with pre-rechallenge RAS/RAF-wild type mCRC.

CDK inhibitors and radiation therapy in breast cancer: Hematologic toxicity and survival implications. () - Apr 23, 2025 - Abstract #ASCO2025ASCO_4804; In conclusion, our study shows that administration concurrent or sequential RT and CDK4/6 inhibitors together prolonged disease-free survival and overall survival, but also increased hematologic toxicities. Since these toxicities are manageable, we frequently use RT with CDK4/6i in our clinical practice.

The results of ABP1019A in phase I dose escalation study showed that this monotherapy was well tolerated, and had preliminary anti-tumor efficacy on advanced pancreatic cancer, glioma, lung and thyroid cancer, etc. A phase II exploratory study is ongoing to further verify the safety and anti-tumor efficacy of ABP1019A on 8 types of tumors including glioma, pancreatic cancer, osteosarcoma, cholangiocarcinoma, SCLC, colorectal cancer, esophageal cancer, and gastric cancer.

The results of ABP1011T in Phase IIa exploratory study showed that ABP1011T was well tolerated, and its mono-therapy showed varying degrees of tumor shrinkage in advanced sarcoma , SCLC, EC, BC, and cervical cancer that had been treated with Anlotinib and PD-1, etc. A phase IIb study of ABP1011T will be conducted to further validate the safety, tolerability and efficacy in advanced malignant solid tumors.

This meta-analysis has identified tachycardia, cardiac arrhythmias, and hypotension as the most significant cardiac adverse events in a pooled analysis of multiple BsAbs. Practicing oncologists, cardiologists, and pharmacists need not only to be aware of these potential toxicities, but also to establish strategies for cardiac monitoring, prevention and management in order to provide quality care to cancer patients.

FAK inhibition with Ifebe effectively reduces liver toxicity associated with KRAS G12C inhibition and PD-1 antibody therapy, underscoring the need for further clinical investigation.

Understanding access to novel high-cost therapies across Canada: A survey of pediatric oncology providers. () - Apr 23, 2025 - Abstract #ASCO2025ASCO_4344; The direct costs of these therapies must be addressed to make them less prohibitive for families; however, strategies must also be developed to mitigate psychosocial and economic impacts of travelling to obtain therapies. Universal funding of these therapies, and simplified access to proton therapy centres, including the development of Canadian proton therapy facilities, would increase equitable access, ultimately improving outcomes for children with cancer.
