The 5 yr follow up for adjuvant pembro in RCC (KN564): continued benefit- DFS (5yr 52% v61% - HR0.71) OS (5yr 82% vs 88% HR0.66). Maintained KM curve separation. No subgroup stands out. 18% TRAEs. Long term tox difficult to quantify but benifits seem to outweigh risks #ASCO25

PORTOS predicts RT dose benefit in localized prostate cancer! Shuang Zhao, MD
🧬☢️In two phase III trials (NRG/RTOG 0126 & SAKK 09/10), the 24-gene PORTOS score identified patients who benefited from radiation dose escalation.

TALAPR02 looks at Talazoparib/enza vs enza in 1st line CRPC . It has significant OS in ITT HR=0.796. It’s current used in HRR deficient. Subset analysis and wider data still supports the HRR biomarker OS (HRR deficient HR -0.54, HRR non-defficent/NA 0.87), but ITT OS is +ve #GU25

💫🌟📝 Key findings from the pembrolizumab study in kidney cancer:
@OncoAlert @OncoReporte
🔬 First adjuvant therapy to improve overall survival in kidney cancer.
🧑🤝🧑 91% of patients on pembrolizumab alive at 4 years vs. 86% on placebo.
⏳ 40% reduction in the risk of death with pembrolizumab.
📈 FDA approved in 2021 based on improved recurrence-free survival.

Perhaps the most important long-term bladder cancer data #ASCO24 Neoadjuvant Toripalimab & disitimab Vedotin in muscle invasive bladder cancer (n=47). pCR ⬆️ 63%. 14% G3/4 AEs. All surgeries occurred . The 1st MMAE/IO neoadjuvant combo data looks ✅✅. EV/IO MIBC trials awaited

First two days of #ASCO24 have been stellar thus far. Over 40,000 in-person and virtual attendees who share a common goal. Nothing like it. Grateful to be here to collaborate and learn. @MCIStrong
Proud to be an investigator of this first-in-human phase I clinical trial for multiplexed T-cell receptor engineered T-cell therapy (TCR-T) for solid tumors. Come check out our poster at #ASCO24 #ASCO @MCIStrong !

Preliminary SURE1 data shows neoadjuvant sacituzumab govitecan (n=21) required dose changes & GCSF to overcome toxicity. 33% didn’t have surgery making having responded efficacy hard to interpret. The trial goes on. pCR and ctDNA suggest activity but not transformative #ASCO24

Disappointing Results for Gilead’s Phase 3 TROPiCS-04 Study!
⭕️ Sacituzumab govitecan (Trodelvy)
in metastatic urothelial cancer did not meet the primary endpoint of overall survival.
⭕️Increased deaths due to neutropenic complications were noted in the Trodelvy group.

With a median FU up of ~5 yrs adjuvant pembro= 38% reduction in risk of death. The benefit is across subgroups (T stage etc). Subsequent therapy in 80% is relapses. The 1st +ve OS adjuvant PD1 study, making adjuvant pembro more attractive. #GU24 @DrChoueiri
