Durvalumab plus cisplatin/gemcitabine is now standard of care for patients with advanced/metastatic biliary tract cancer
Updated overall survival data from TOPAZ-1 confirm clinically meaningful benefit of adding durvalumab to cisplatin/gemcitabine

Second-line chemotherapy for advanced biliary tract provides modest efficacy but quality of life benefit
Standard second-line chemotherapy may benefit fit patients but efficacy is limited and new treatments are urgently needed

Final data from monarcHER suggest the utility of triple therapy over standard of care chemotherapy

Building a lasting foundation for precision oncology
While local and regional initiatives address some major barriers, global efforts are needed to make molecularly guided options accessible to all patients.

Mixed results from the use of selective ER degraders and modulators in advanced breast cancer
These results highlight the need to better investigate the mechanisms of action, define the optimal timing of administration and identify predictive biomarkers

Phase I studies provide further data on the use of T-cell based therapies in solid tumours
Different approaches are explored, showing good efficacy and mixed tolerability, but further studies are needed to assess their feasibility

The CXCR2 antagonist AZD5069 plus enzalutamide is shown to be active in mCRPC
In a phase I/II study, the combination treatment was tolerable in men who had progressed on one novel anti-androgen therapy
