🫁 Phase 3 (n=509): tarlatamab vs chemotherapy (topotecan, lurbinectedin or amrubicin) in SCLC after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. Primary endpoint: OS; median follow-up 23 mo.
➡️ Median OS 13.6 vs 8.4 mo; HR 0.62 (0.51–0.76); 18-mo OS 42% vs 24%
➡️ Baseline brain metastases subgroup: OS HR 0.52 (0.38–0.70)
➡️ Grade ≥3 TRAEs 28% vs 63%
✅ Durable survival benefit with a manageable safety profile and no new safety signals, reinforcing tarlatamab as standard of care after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. #LungCancer #SCLC

🔬 Phase 3 (n=1688), untreated advanced ccRCC: pembrolizumab + lenvatinib + belzutifan (Arm A) or MK-1308A + lenvatinib (Arm B) vs pembrolizumab + lenvatinib. Dual primary: PFS by BICR and OS.
➡️ Arm A: PFS HR 1.08 (0.93–1.26); OS HR 1.04 (0.87–1.25)
➡️ Arm B: PFS HR 1.07 (0.92–1.25); OS HR 1.12 (0.94–1.35)
➡️ Discontinuation due to AEs: 51.6% (A), 51.4% (B), 36.2% (control)
✅ Neither belzutifan nor CTLA-4 blockade added to pembrolizumab + lenvatinib improved efficacy; pembrolizumab + lenvatinib remains a 1L SOC. #KidneyCancer

Phase 3 LEAP-012 Study of Lenvatinib + Pembrolizumab vs Dual Placebo With Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) for Unresectable Non-Metastatic Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Long-Term OS Results
@DrElkhoueiry
@ArndtVogel
🔬 Phase 3 (n=480): lenvatinib + pembrolizumab + TACE vs dual placebo + TACE in unresectable, non-metastatic HCC. Dual primary endpoints: PFS and OS. Long-term OS (IA3).
➡️ Median OS 40.4 vs 40.8 mo; HR 0.98 (0.76–1.26)
➡️ Median PFS 14.6 vs 10.2 mo; HR 0.70 (0.56–0.89)
➡️ Grade ≥3 TRAEs 72.2% vs 32.0%
✅ LEAP-012 met its primary endpoint for PFS but did not show OS benefit; a median OS of ~40 mo sets a new benchmark for trial design. #HCC

🚨 What a great start to #ESMO2026! 🇪🇺
The European Commission approves perioperative enfortumab vedotin + pembrolizumab for resectable MIBC, regardless of cisplatin eligibility!
A major milestone for our patients.
Now looking forward to VOLGA at the Presidential Symposium on Saturday! @tompowles1
With only 3 neoadjuvant EV cycles and no adjuvant EV, VOLGA could provide important insights into a key question:
How much EV do we really need?
Does adjuvant EV add meaningful efficacy—or mainly cumulative toxicity?
Cross-trial comparisons cannot answer this definitively. Biomarker-guided de-escalation trials are urgently needed! 🔬

Long-Term Overall Survival With Abiraterone Acetate Plus Prednisone in the PEACE-1 Phase 3 Trial for De Novo Metastatic Castration-Sensitive Prostate Cancer (mCSPC)
@RayMcDermott1
@BertrandTOMBAL
🔬 Phase 3, 2×2 factorial (n=1173): abiraterone and/or prostate RT added to SOC (ADT ± docetaxel) in de novo mCSPC. Median follow-up 7.7 y.
➡️ Abiraterone: OS HR 0.75 (0.65–0.87); p=0.0001
➡️ ADT + docetaxel ± abiraterone: median OS 4.4 vs 6.2 y; 8-year OS 27.1% vs 40.3%
➡️ High-volume: 8-year OS 20% vs 38%; interaction by metastatic extent p=0.56
✅ Major OS benefit of adding abiraterone to SOC, irrespective of metastatic extent; triplet associated with almost twice as many long-term survivors in some subgroups.

➡️ No relapse or death in patients with 1-year cCR (median follow-up 16.20 mo)
➡️ Grade 3–4 dostarlimab-related AEs: 21%; 9/24 underwent surgery, all R0

🫁 Randomized phase II (n=140): first-line SACT ± consolidation radiotherapy in synchronous oligometastatic AGA-negative NSCLC. Endpoints: OS and PFS.
➡️ Median OS 31.0 vs 28.0 mo; HR 0.99 (0.63–1.55); p=0.95
➡️ Median PFS 13.9 vs 8.9 mo; HR 0.64 (0.43–0.95); p=0.03
➡️ 12-month local failure 13.0% vs 39.5% (p<0.01); grade ≥3 AEs 28.6% in both arms
✅ SACT + RT achieved better local disease control and longer PFS with acceptable side effects, but this did not translate into survival benefit.
