Triplet therapy does not outperform doublet treatment first line in metastatic pancreatic cancer
Results from the JCOG1611-GENERATE trial fuel the debate around the preferred option in this setting
New treatment paradigms may offer advances in pancreatic cancer treatments
Neoadjuvant, perioperative, targeted and combined treatment approaches have shown potential benefit for patients with this aggressive disease, but further research is needed
Disappointing results from immune checkpoint inhibition combined with androgen deprivation therapy in prostate cancer
Negative trials presented at the ESMO Congress 2023 suggest that a new treatment strategy may be required for patients with metastatic disease
Novel immunotherapy-based treatment strategies offer benefits to patients with sarcoma
Results from four early-phase studies show that combining immune checkpoint inhibitors with other immunotherapies or with TKIs is a potentially efficacious strategy for the treatment of different diseases including GIST and vascular sarcomas
Adding amivantamab to chemotherapy prolongs PFS in untreated EGFR exon 20 insertion-mutated advanced NSCLC
The bispecific EGFR/MET-directed monoclonal antibody looks set to become the standard of care in this setting, but toxicity has to be managed carefully

How can we overcome resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors in NSCLC?
Results from studies presented at the ESMO Congress 2023 (Madrid, 20–24 October) outline different strategies involving indirect immune modulation and direct enhanced tumour cytotoxicity to improve on chemotherapy as the current standard of second-line care after ICI progression
