RxPONDER analysis: AMH refines chemo selection in eBC

An analysis of the RxPONDER trial for HR-positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer showed that baseline anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels refine chemotherapy selection. Among premenopausal patients with a recurrence score ≤25, those with low AMH levels did not benefit from chemotherapy, and AMH outperformed age and menopausal status in predicting this benefit.

STELLAR LARC Update & COMMIT MSI-H CRC Data Debated

The 5-year STELLAR update for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) showed that total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) with preoperative CAPOX did not improve distant metastasis, DFS, or local recurrence rates, though a borderline OS benefit was observed. Additionally, the full publication of the COMMIT trial in MSI-H CRC demonstrated that FFX/bevacizumab/atezolizumab was superior to atezolizumab monotherapy, prompting discussion on using induction chemotherapy with IO to reduce early progression.

Prostate Cancer Trial Data; MIBC Cystectomy-Sparing Debate

In the Phase 1 #RTIRE trial, focal irreversible electroporation (IRE) plus reduced-dose radiation for intermediate-risk prostate cancer yielded negative biopsies at 12 months for all 10 patients with no grade 3–5 adverse events; the investigator noted the results are 'Promising, NOT definitive.' Separately, pathological complete response rates of 57–64% with perioperative enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab in muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) are prompting discussion on whether cystectomy can be spared in select patients.

🟣Multiple Myeloma
Future ECOG-ACRIN Myeloma Trial Designs Shared

Upcoming ECOG-ACRIN trials will evaluate novel combinations in multiple myeloma, including the Phase Ib/II EAA242 study of teclistamab/pomalidomide versus carfilzomib/pomalidomide/dexamethasone in early relapse. Other planned studies include PrE1005, comparing belantamab mafodotin with VRd to daratumumab with VRd in newly diagnosed patients, and the Phase II EAA241 trial for newly diagnosed myeloma with light chain cast nephropathy. Separately, a descriptive pooled analysis in Blood Advances reviewed the efficacy and safety of BCMA-targeted therapies in relapsed or refractory AL amyloidosis.

DLBCL Trial Comparisons; New Data in CLL and MCL

Data from the STARGLO and POLARGO trials in transplant-ineligible R/R DLBCL show nearly identical overall survival hazard ratios (0.59 and 0.60, respectively) versus R-GemOx, prompting discussion on the need to compare trials beyond a single endpoint. Primary results from the TRANSCEND CLL 004 trial for lisocabtagene maraleucel combined with ibrutinib in R/R CLL or SLL were also shared. Additionally, the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) published new practice recommendations for cellular therapy in mantle cell lymphoma.
