Regorafenib delays disease progression in patients with soft tissue sarcoma
Study findings indicate that the agent is promising as maintenance therapy, but managing its tolerability presents challenges
Clinical activity reported for novel first-line combination strategies in advanced triple-negative breast cancer
Early-phase clinical trial results show promise to optimise the current standard of care by using dual-targeting agents and investigating the most effective chemotherapy backbone for PD-L1 blockade
Claudin-targeted antibody–drug conjugates are promising treatments for solid tumours
According to results from several phase I trials, this precision oncology strategy also offers manageable safety
Questions still remain on optimal adjuvant therapy in advanced melanoma
Overall survival benefits of systemic therapy in the adjuvant setting are still unclear in clinical trials, and may need to be complemented with real-world studies
Novel treatment strategies show potential activity in metastatic colorectal cancer
Preliminary results from three clinical trials reveal some benefits of cetuximab plus irinotecan, amivantamab plus FOLFOX or FOLFIRI and ramucirumab plus standard of care for patients with mCRC, including after progression on standard therapies
New data provide guidance to personalise treatment in recurrent and metastatic salivary gland cancer
Two studies report the results about the use of trastuzumab deruxtecan and androgen deprivation therapy for patients with this rare cancer
Leveraging team science to exploit the tumour’s ‘Achilles heel’ with PARP inhibition: a journey of discovery and perseverance
Extensive research identified the deficiency of a highly accurate DNA repair process known as homologous recombination as an ‘Achilles heel’ in cancer, and led to the development of PARP inhibitors as single-agent therapies
New data add to current knowledge on how to optimise treatment in EGFR-mutant NSCLC
The use of targeted agents in first and subsequent lines of therapy is improving outcomes in patients with mutated lung cancer progressing on standard chemotherapy, but a biomarker- or precision-guided approach is needed
Novel ALK-selective TKIs show early efficacy in advanced NSCLC with rare mutations
Further studies are needed to understand the position of the fourth-generation agents NVL-520 and NVL-655 in the treatment paradigm of mutated lung cancer
Study findings confirm the benefits of BRAF and MEK inhibitors in mutated non-small cell lung cancer
Longer duration of efficacy reported for encorafenib plus binimetinib as a treatment for NSCLC harbouring a BRAF V600 mutation
