Patients with refractory large B-cell lymphoma experienced long-term disease control with rapid responses and robust CAR T-cell expansion with the CAR T-cell therapy axicabtagene ciloleucel.

Significant disparities between survival outcomes of non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, and Hispanic patients with acute myeloid leukemia in the Chicago metropolitan area were seen with census tract socioeconomic status information.

In an interview with Targeted Oncology, Toni K. Choueiri, MD, discussed key results from the CheckMate-9ER trial in advanced renal cell carcinoma, as well as ongoing trials with the potential to move the landscape further along.

Frontline nivolumab plus chemotherapy induced a statistically significant survival benefit compared with chemotherapy alone in patients with newly diagnosed PD-L1–positive advanced gastric cancer, gastroesophageal junction cancer, and esophageal adenocarcinoma.

The use of molecularly-directed frontline therapy enriched responses in patients with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma, demonstrating clinical evidence to support further use, according to findings from the noncomparative, phase 2, biomarker-driven BIONIKK trial.

A statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival was observed with the use of surufatinib compared with placebo in patients with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, meeting the primary end point of the randomized phase 3 SANET-p study.

For patients with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors, there was continued clinically meaningful benefit with the novel broad-spectrum KIT and PDGFRα inhibitor ripretinib in the fourth line or later, according to updated data from the randomized phase 3 INVICTUS trial presented at the 2020 ESMO Virtual Congress.
