ADC+IO data, ctDNA monitoring, and BRAF/EGFR sequencing debated

New Phase 3 data from the OptiTROP-Lung06 trial show sacituzumab tirumotecan (sac-TMT) plus pembrolizumab met its PFS endpoint in 1L PD-L1-negative non-squamous NSCLC. Other key topics include the utility of ctDNA for monitoring response to BRAF-MEK inhibitors and ongoing debates around optimal first-line therapy for BRAF V600E-mutant and EGFR-mutant NSCLC.

Gedatolisib (Revtorpyk) reactions in PIK3CA wild-type breast cancer; 15-year SOFT/TEXT

The FDA approved @Celcuity’s Revtorpyk (gedatolisib), with fulvestrant and with or without palbociclib, on July 14, 2026 for HR+/HER2−, PIK3CA wild-type locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer that progressed on prior endocrine therapy (VIKTORIA-1, Study 1); the PIK3CA-mutant cohort is not approved (KOL reactions · VIKTORIA-1 trial profile). Separately, updated 15-year SOFT/TEXT results are refocusing the question of the preferred approach for high-risk premenopausal HR+/HER2− early breast cancer.

Novel immunotherapies discussed for HCC and high-risk pancreatic cancer

A study on a GPC3 CAR-T therapy in heavily pretreated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) showed a 44% ORR and 14.2-month median OS. Additionally, a first-of-its-kind study demonstrated the feasibility of a mutant KRAS targeted vaccine in individuals at high risk for pancreatic cancer, with persistent T-cell responses.

MIBC in focus with upcoming ESMO26 perioperative chemoIO data

Two large randomized Phase 3 studies of perioperative chemo-immunotherapy in Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer (MIBC) are set to read out at ESMO26. Discussions also center on treatment strategies for MIBC, including the integration of trimodality therapy as an alternative to radical cystectomy. Additionally, a recent publication highlights the risk of venous thromboembolism in patients with urothelial carcinoma receiving systemic therapy.

🟣Multiple Myeloma
ENDURANCE trial questions indefinite lenalidomide maintenance in myeloma

The phase III ENDURANCE (E1A11) trial, published in the NEJM, evaluated lenalidomide maintenance duration. In patients with standard-risk newly diagnosed multiple myeloma not receiving an upfront ASCT, the trial found that continuing lenalidomide maintenance indefinitely provided no overall survival benefit over a limited 2-year duration, while causing more side effects. This result challenges the current standard of continuing maintenance until progression.

EHA2026 AML Trial Highlights and Liso-cel Data Discussed

Leukemia trial highlights from EHA2026 include OPTI-AML (14d vs. 28d venetoclax), KOMET-007 (ziftomenib + 7+3), and SENTRY (selinexor + ruxolitinib). Separately, a publication reports real-world outcomes for the CAR T-cell therapy lisocabtagene maraleucel in large B-cell lymphoma.
