Final results from Phase 1, first-in-human, dose escalation study of a first-in-class anti-ILT2 antibody, SAR444881, alone and with pembrolizumab or cetuximab, in patients with advanced solid tumors (Burgos Auditorium - Hall 5) - Jul 16, 2024 - Abstract #ESMO2024ESMO_1730;

Neoadjuvant nivolumab/relatlimab or nivolumab/ipilimumab in triple negative breast cancer with high tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) (Barcelona Auditorium - Hall 2) - Jul 16, 2024 - Abstract #ESMO2024ESMO_1653; P2 Most common adverse events included endocrinopathies: hypothyroidism (40.0% in nivo/ipi, 33.3% in nivo/rela), adrenal insufficiency (26.7% in nivo/ipi, 6.7% in nivo/rela) and diabetes (6.7% in nivo/rela). Conclusions We present the first exploratory clinical trial with short-term neoadjuvant immunotherapy without chemotherapy for patients with TNBC with high TILs and observed a pCR rate of 33% with nivo/ipi and 47% with nivo/rela, warranting further studies on efficacy and toxicity of chemotherapy-free immunotherapy for immunogenic TNBC.

10-y survival outcomes from the phase III CheckMate 067 trial of nivolumab plus ipilimumab in advanced melanoma (Oviedo Auditorium - Hall 3) - Jul 16, 2024 - Abstract #ESMO2024ESMO_1631; P3 Conclusions Final results from CheckMate 067 continue to demonstrate a sustained, long-term survival benefit across subgroups in the NIVO-containing arms, underscoring how checkpoint inhibitors have transformed the long-term prognosis for pts with advanced melanoma. There is now a potential for cure in pts responsive to these treatments.

Cabozantinib (C) plus atezolizumab (A) versus 2nd novel hormonal therapy (NHT) in patients (Pts) with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC): Final overall survival (OS) results of the phase III, randomized, CONTACT-02 study (Valencia Auditorium - Hall 5) - Jul 16, 2024 - Abstract #ESMO2024ESMO_1627; P3 Methods Pts with mCRPC whose disease progressed on one prior NHT and who had measurable extrapelvic nodal or visceral disease were randomized 1:1 to C+A or NHT (abiraterone + prednisone or enzalutamide)...Baseline characteristics were balanced between treatment arms: 79%/76% had bone metastasis (BM), 23%/23% had liver metastases (LM), and 22%/22% had received prior docetaxel...Final OS, the 2nd dual primary endpoint, favored C + A (HR 0.89), but did not achieve statistical significance. A survival advantage was seen in some subgroups (e.g. liver metastasis, bone metastasis) The tolerability profile of C+A was similar to other approved TKI/ICI combinations in pts with advanced cancers.

Results from C1, C2, and C3 support the continued development of TAR-200 monotherapy in pts with BCG UR HR NMIBC.

Neoadjuvant immunotherapy in locally advanced MMR-deficient colon cancer: 3-year disease-free survival from NICHE-2 (Sevilla Auditorium - Hall 2) - Jul 16, 2024 - Abstract #ESMO2024ESMO_1582; P2 Conclusions Here we show a 100% 3-year DFS in patients with dMMR colon cancer treated with one dose of ipilimumab and two doses of nivolumab prior to surgery. The survival data are also supported by negative ctDNA at the MRD timepoint in all patients, while on-treatment ctDNA dynamics provide an additional monitoring instrument for future trials on organ preservation.
