ESMO 2026 Top 10 (ish) Breast Cancer Abstracts @PTarantinoMD 1. FOURLIGHT-1 (A. Giordano et al.) -> Announced to be positive, this randomized phase 2 trial evaluated the benefit of selective CDK4 inhibition with atirmociclib (+fulvestrant) in 2L HR+ MBC. Highly awaited. 2. BRIDGET (S. Sammons et al.) -> Could the addition of tucatinib to HP (or T-DM1) lead to favorable outcomes among pts with isolated PD from HER2+ MBC? Important data on an understudied setting. 3. TALENT (S. Hurvitz et al.) -> Preliminary results from TALENT were quite disappointing, with neoadjuvant T-DXd/AI showing low pCR rate in HR+/HER2- breast cancer. At ESMO, we will see updated results, including the first data with T-DXd used in sequence with chemo in this setting. 4. SWITCH (L. Fan et al.) -> Could keeping the payload (TOPO1i) but switching the target enable for continued efficacy with ADCs? SATEEN suggested limited benefit for this strategy in HER2+ disease. The SWITCH phase 2 trial tests this strategy with 4 novel TOPO1 ADCs in HR+/HER2- disease. 5. KEYNOTE-B49 (H. Rugo et al.) -> Immunotherapy has struggled to find its place in HR+ disease. This phase 3 trial tested whether using pembro early (added to 1L chemo) and in a selected population (PD-L1+) could prove beneficial for patients with HR+ MBC. 6. POP-DURVA (J. Ribeiro et al.) -> Standard treatment for stage I TNBC remains undefined. POP-DURVA tests 2 infusions of neoadjuvant durva in stage I TNBC with sTIL of >= 5%, with primary endpoint pCR 7. NSABP B42 (E. Mamounas et al.) -> The prior 10-year analysis of NSABP B42 demonstrated a significant DFS (but not OS) advantage with 10 vs 5 years of adjuvant AI in postmenopausal patients. This final analysis will clarify the long-term impact of extended AI therapy, which is increasingly utilized in practice. 8. MRD studies -> Interesting studies evaluating the prognostic role of MRD in HER2+ MBC with exceptional response (Nozawa et al.), neoadjuvant TNBC (Barcenas et al') and in the surveillance setting (Ozaki et al.) 9. Exotic TOPO 1 ADC phase 3 trials -> At ESMO, we will see primary results of multiple phase 3 trials of TOP1 ADCs vs chemo conducted in China, including HORIZON-Breast06 (SHR-A1811 for HER2-low MBC), APEX-Breast01 (TQB2102 for HER2-low MBC) and PANKU-Breast01 (Iza-Bren for HR+/HER2- MBC) 10. Updates from NATALEE (6y), FINER (OS), TROPION-Breast02 (brain mets), DESTINY-Breast09 (brain mets), GIM3 FATA (AI comparison), lidERA (PROs), DESTINY-Breast05 (PROs), OptiTROP-Breast01 (OS) Bonus: CHARISMA (P. Tarantino et al.) -> How does breast cancer escape ADC treatment? We conducted multiomic profiling of biopsies collected pre/post-ADCs, with identification of novel mechanisms of resistance.

#ESMO26 | SWITCH – Phase II In mBC progressing after ADC therapy, switching the target antigen while continuing with the same TOP1 inhibitor payload class resulted in ORRs of only 0–8.3%. Although the sample size was small and the patient population heterogeneous, changing the target antigen alone does not appear sufficient to overcome resistance.

[Slide 1] Rapid Oral session 4RO - Target switching with conserved-payload novel ADCs in patients with metastatic breast cancer following prior ADC therapy (SWITCH): A prospective, open-label, phase 2 platform trial Speakers Lei Fan (Shanghai, China) Lecture Time 10:20 - 10:25 Abstract Background Resistance to antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) is an inevitable challenge in metastatic breast cancer (MBC), but the optimal post-progression sequencing strategy remains unclear. The SWITCH trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of a "target/payload switching" strategy using novel ADCs in patients with ADC-refractory MBC. Methods SWITCH is a prospective, open-label, phase 2 platform trial. Patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-negative) MBC who progressed on at least one prior ADC were enrolled. Based on prior treatment history, participants were randomly assigned to four novel ADC cohorts: SHR-A1811 (Cohort A), SHR-A1921 (Cohort B), SHR-A2009 (Cohort C), or SHR-A2102 (Cohort D), all carrying a topoisomerase I inhibitor (TOP1i) payload. The primary endpoint was investigator-assessed objective response rate (ORR). Results Between Oct 21, 2024, and Dec 30, 2025, 58 HER2-negative patients were screened, 54 of whom were randomly assigned (Cohort A: n=10; B: n=12; C: n=12; D: n=20). The population was heavily pretreated, with the majority (94.4%) having prior exposure to TOP1i-based ADCs. Confirmed ORRs were limited across all cohorts: 0% in Cohort A, 8.3% in Cohort B, 0% in Cohort C, and 5% in Cohort D. Responses were observed only in patients switching from the microtubule inhibitor-based ADC disitamab vedotin (RC48) to a TOP1 inhibitor-based ADC, whereas no responses occurred after switching between ADCs with the same payload class despite antigen switching. Treatment-related adverse events were consistent with known profiles of each ADC and manageable. Conclusions Rechallenging ADC-refractory MBC with novel agents targeting alternative antigens yielded limited responses, which suggested that payload cross-resistance was a primary driver of resistance. Diversified payload mechanisms in subsequent ADC sequencing were important to restore therapeutic sensitivity.

#ESMO26 | Bulumtatug Fuvedotin – Phase II In metastatic TNBC previously treated with TOP1 inhibitor-based ADCs, the Nectin-4-targeted, MMAE-based ADC bulumtatug fuvedotin achieved an ORR of 30%, with a median PFS of 3.7 months. Changing both the target antigen and payload appears promising, although the relatively short PFS raises questions about the durability of benefit.

[Slide 1] Rapid Oral session 4640RO - Bulumtatug fuvedotin (BFv, 9MW2821), a nectin-4-directed antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), in patients with locally advanced or metastatic triple negative breast cancer (la/mTNBC) previously treated with topoisomerase I inhibitor (TopI)-based ADCs: Results from a phase 2 study Speakers Yanchun Meng (Shanghai, China) Lecture Time 10:30 - 10:35 Abstract Background BFv is an ADC delivering monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) to Nectin-4-expressing cells, a target highly expressed in TNBC. For patients with prior exposure to TopI-based ADCs, switching to a Nectin-4-targeted ADC with a distinct payload (MMAE) represents a rational therapeutic strategy. We report efficacy and safety data from the cohort of la/mTNBC patients previously treated with TopI-based ADCs in the phase 2 study of BFv (NCT06492005). Methods Cohort A enrolled la/mTNBC patients with prior TopI-based ADC therapy. BFv was given intravenously at 1.25 mg/kg on days 1 and 8 every 21 days. Primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR). Secondary endpoints included duration of response (DOR), disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety. Results As of April 10, 2026, 62 patients were enrolled, of whom 60 were evaluable for response. Median age was 50.5 years (range 32-73). Liver metastases were present in 33% of patients, and 42% had received ≥3 prior lines of therapy. All patients (100%) had received prior TopI-based ADCs: 48% received TROP-2-targeted ADCs, and 33% received HER2-targeted ADCs. All patients had prior taxane-based chemotherapy; 35% also received immune checkpoint inhibitors. The ORR was 30.0% (95% CI 18.85%-43.21%) and DCR was 80.0% (95% CI 67.67%-89.22%). Median PFS was 3.7 months (95% CI 2.96-4.34), and median DOR was 8.7 months (95% CI 2.79-NR). OS data were not mature. Common TRAEs (≥20%) included increased AST/ALT, neutropenia, leukopenia, hypertriglyceridemia, rash, hypercholesterolemia, hyperglycemia, anemia, thrombocytopenia, asthenia, and increased GGT. Grade ≥3 TRAEs (≥5%) included neutropenia, leukopenia, and increased AST. Conclusions BFv demonstrated promising antitumor activity with a manageable safety profile in heavily pretreated patients with la/mTNBC who had all received prior TopI-based ADCs. The first pivotal trial for this indication worldwide is underway.

ESMO 2026 kicks off later this week - we analyzed thousands of abstracts and pulled out 8 themes that stood out to us heading into the conference. • Something fundamental about oncology is that every time a drug moves earlier in treatment, it changes the downstream patient population (and the competitive landscape), creating new opportunities for differentiation. We see that theme coming up in a few areas this year, with EV + pembro in bladder cancer and HER2-directed ADCs in breast cancer moving earlier. Frontline treatments tend to be more durable in holding their position in the treatment sequence, so being able to anticipate these shifts as pivotal data emerges is a huge advantage. Send me a message if you'd like this analysis done for a space you're tracking closely. • One of the best parts of ESMO is getting to peer into the future - there's often a big disconnect between current late-stage trials and where early-stage efforts are accumulating. For example in KRAS, ~76% of clinical KRAS abstracts involve combinations, versus just 1 in 4 ongoing Ph3 programs. Development competition is split between two approaches: selectively target the dominant mutant (G12D) vs. inhibit a broader set of RAS-driven tumors (daraxonrasib). All things equal, the latter is a better opportunity, so the debate is where precision might beat breadth. • China is dominating ADC innovation, with ~86% of Ph3 readouts at ESMO coming from China-originated assets. Some are quite novel too, such as bispecific architectures (i.e. EGFR x HER3) Broadly, as ADCs have moved into earlier treatment settings, they've been benchmarked against non-ADC standards. As some settle in as frontline treatment, it's creating a resistance problem for next-gen assets: if payload resistance cuts across targets, then the Topo I concentration may 'poison the well' for ADCs still competing in later-line settings. The 12-page preview below gets into the details behind these and other themes, including key programs, data and references. Hope it's helpful for everyone heading to Madrid or following along remotely. Let us know in the comments what trends you're watching and if you'd like us to send the full PDF + some bonus data to you directly.

3 randomised trials #ESMO26 in muscle invasive bladder cancer. VOLGA = Neoadjuvant EV plus perioperative durvalumab. How will it compare to perioperative EVP (B15/905) where longer periods of EV were given (OS HR = 0.5-0.6). Also, 2 trials (ENERGIZE/KN866) of cisplatin based neoadjuvant chemotherapy with or without PD-1 inhibition (nivolumab or pembrolizumab) .

MECHANISM OF ACTION: Belzutifan (HIF-2α inhibitor) — VHL loss → HIF-2α ↑ Tumour growth, angiogenesis, metabolism | Lenvatinib (multikinase inhibitor) — Inhibits VEGFR and other kinases → reduces angiogenesis TRIAL DESIGN: 747 patients | Phase III Randomized Open-label | Population: Advanced ccRCC after anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy ARMS: Belzutifan + Lenvatinib — Belzutifan 120 mg OD + Lenvatinib 20 mg OD (1:1 randomization) | Cabozantinib — 60 mg OD KEY RESULTS (Published): Progression-free survival (PFS) 14.8 months vs. 10.7 months, HR 0.70 (95% CI 0.59–0.84), p < 0.0001 | Overall survival (OS) 34.9 months vs. 27.6 months, HR 0.85 (95% CI 0.88–1.05), Not statistically significant (at interim analysis) SAFETY (Grade ≥3 AEs): • 84% vs. 83% (experimental vs. control) • Hypertension: 31% vs. 29% • Monitor: hypertension, anemia, hypoxia, proteinuria, renal function KEY TAKEAWAY: Significant PFS benefit; final OS results awaited at ESMO 2026. 5 DeLLphi-305 (Phase III) Tarlatamab + Durvalumab vs. Durvalumab in Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer RATIONALE: • Extensive-stage SCLC displays high relapse rates after initial chemo + I/O. • DLL3-targeted T-cell engager may enhance immune response during maintenance. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Tarlatamab (DLL3 × CD3 bispecific T-cell engager) — Brings T cells to DLL3-expressing tumour cells → T-cell mediated killing | Durvalumab (anti-PD-L1 antibody) — Blocks PD-L1 mediated immune inhibition TRIAL DESIGN: 563 patients | Phase III Randomized Global study | Population: ES-SCLC without progression after platinum + etoposide + durvalumab induction ARMS: Tarlatamab + Durvalumab — Maintenance until progression VS Durvalumab alone — Maintenance until progression KEY RESULTS (Topline): Overall survival (OS) – primary endpoint met, Statistically significant improvement | Progression-free survival (PFS) – significant improvement | Objective response rate (ORR) – improved | Full numerical data awaited at ESMO 2026 SAFETY: • Consistent with known profiles • Key risks: cytokine-release syndrome (CRS), neurological toxicity (ICANS), infusion reactions KEY TAKEAWAY: First-line maintenance with DLL3-targeted T-cell engager shows significant OS benefit (topline). 6 SAFFRON (Phase III) Osimertinib + Savolitinib vs. Chemotherapy in EGFR-Mutated NSCLC with MET Overexpression/Amplification RATIONALE: • MET overexpression or amplification is a key resistance mechanism after osimertinib. • Dual EGFR/MET inhibition may overcome resistance and delay chemotherapy. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Osimertinib (EGFR TKI) — Continues inhibition of mutant EGFR signalling | Savolitinib (selective MET inhibitor) — Inhibits MET signalling bypass pathway TRIAL DESIGN: (Number not publicly specified, large Phase III study) | Phase III Randomized Global study | Population: EGFR-mutated NSCLC with MET overexpression or amplification after osimertinib ARMS: Osimertinib + Savolitinib (oral combination) VS Platinum + Pemetrexed (chemotherapy) KEY RESULTS (Topline): Progression-free survival (PFS) – significant improvement | Overall survival (OS) – significant improvement | Consistent benefit across key subgroups (as per topline) | Full numerical data awaited at ESMO 2026 SAFETY: • Consistent with known profiles of osimertinib and savolitinib • Monitor: interstitial lung disease, hepatotoxicity, edema and other class-specific AEs KEY TAKEAWAY: Potential new standard for EGFR-mutated NSCLC with MET-driven resistance after osimertinib, if OS benefit confirmed in full data. 7 CLARITY-Gastric01 (Phase III) Sonesitatug Vedotin (CLDN18.2 ADC) vs. Physician's Choice in Advanced/Metastatic Gastric/GEJ Adenocarcinoma RATIONALE: • Poor outcomes after first-line therapy in advanced gastric/GEJ cancer. • CLDN18.2 is a validated target. • Antibody–drug conjugate delivers cytotoxic payload directly to CLDN18.2-expressing tumour cells. MECHANISM OF ACTION: 1 Target binding — Anti-CLDN18.2 antibody binds tumour cells | 2 Internalization — ADC internalized into tumour cell | 3 Cytotoxic effect — Release of MMAE payload → cell death TRIAL DESIGN: ~600 patients | Phase III Randomized Global study | Population: CLDN18.2 positive (≥25% tumour cells) 2L+ advanced gastric/GEJ or oesophageal adenocarcinoma ARMS: Sonesitatug Vedotin — 2.2 mg/kg IV Q3W VS Investigator's Choice — (Ramucirumab + paclitaxel, paclitaxel, docetaxel, irinotecan, TAS-102, or apatinib depending on line and region) KEY RESULTS (Topline): Overall survival (OS) in 3L+ population – primary endpoint met | Overall survival (OS) in 2L+ population – significant improvement | Progression-free survival (PFS) – favourable trend, not statistically significant | Full numerical data to be presented at ESMO 2026 SAFETY: • No new safety signals reported • Main AEs: peripheral neuropathy, neutropenia, gastrointestinal toxicity (MMAE-related) KEY TAKEAWAY: CLDN18.2-targeted ADC shows OS benefit in previously treated advanced gastric/GEJ cancer; full data needed to define magnitude, PFS and safety profile.

ESMO 2026: GI abstracts I’m watching ESMO is a week away so time to post thoughts on studies that will either change practice, move the field forward or are thought provoking! Gut Onc Lab video next week once text is released. BELOW THE BELT AZUR-1: Dostarlimab for dMMR/MSI-H locally advanced rectal cancer (LBA87) When: Sun Oct 25, 11:00 CET. Lower GI Proffered Paper session. What: Stage II/III MSI-H rectal cancer (n=154) treated with dostarlimab alone. My take: This will be positive. Incredibly positive. This is already what I’m doing in clinical practice and is a massive step forward for the 5–10% of rectal cancer patients that are MSI-H. Yay. IROCAS: Adjuvant mFOLFIRINOX vs mFOLFOX6 in high-risk stage III colon cancer (LBA29) When: Sun Oct 25, 10:15 CET. Lower GI Proffered Paper session. What: Phase 3 of adjuvant mFOLFIRINOX vs mFOLFOX6 in T4 and/or N2 stage III colon cancer. My take: Important study, and honestly, it is going to predict if US-CIRCULATE will be positive. If this is negative, CIRCULATE will be a nail-biter. Encorafenib + cetuximab + FOLFIRI beyond progression in BRAF V600E mCRC (788RO) When: Sat Oct 24, 14:50 CEST. Lower GI Rapid Oral session. What: Continuing EC past progression, adding FOLFIRI, in BRAF V600E mCRC. My take: Already doing this in clinical practice with patients who have BRAF+ disease w/o resistance mechanism on ctDNA at progression. Data for its use is HUGELY welcome. CheckMate 8HW: Final overall survival (LBA32) When: Sat Oct 24, 15:42 CEST. Lower GI Rapid Oral session. What: Final OS for nivo/ipi vs nivo vs chemo in MSI-H metastatic CRC. My take: What happens when you do a trial with an agent that essentially cures a disease against another that cures most people? It is a really long damn trial. Excited for the final OS data. Will it be positive? TBD, but I certainly think the magnitude of benefit of dual IO makes it better than single agent, and this data could reinforce that practice. UNION: Short-course RT → camrelizumab + CAPOX in locally advanced rectal cancer (3530O) When: Sun Oct 25, 11:10 CET. Lower GI Proffered Paper session. What: Phase 3 of SCRT → camrelizumab + CAPOX vs long-course CRT → CAPOX in locally advanced rectal cancer. My take: pCR reported at ~40% in 2024, let’s see if more people were cured. Some criticism in changing radiation schedule and adding IO compared to standard, but will set the stage for future studies. EMT2: Omega-3 EPA after resection of colorectal liver metastases (LBA30) When: Sun Oct 25, 10:25 CET. Lower GI Proffered Paper session. What: Phase 3, double-blind, EPA vs placebo after CRLM resection. My take: It’s like fish oil but better. File this in the ALASCCA category of “costs nothing, helps people” if positive. ALASCCA + CHALLENGE ❤️ QTX3034 + cetuximab ± mFOLFOX6 in KRAS G12D CRC (790RO) When: Sat Oct 24, 15:15 CEST. Lower GI Rapid Oral session. What: Early data on an oral G12D-preferring KRAS inhibitor + cetuximab ± mFOLFOX6 in KRAS G12D mCRC. My take: Sick study. Moving us to molecularly driven treatments in earlier line settings for CRC. Where the field MUST move. If this isn’t positive I will eat a hat (a small one, preferably organic). BOT/BAL in the real world: refractory MSS mCRC and advanced sarcoma (905eP, 3771P) When: 905eP is an ePoster available throughout the meeting. 3771P is Mon Oct 26, 12:00 CET, sarcoma poster session. What: Real-world botensilimab + balstilimab in refractory MSS mCRC (AGEO, France) and advanced sarcoma (Spanish expanded access). My take: Gives us a look at Bot Bal in real world. Important data, multiple attempts to use CPI in advanced disease have provided mixed results, what happens when we use stronger agents? Runner-up: Biweekly vs conventional TAS-102 + bevacizumab in refractory mCRC (LBA31) When: Sat Oct 24, 15:37 CEST. Lower GI Rapid Oral session. What: Randomized comparison of biweekly vs standard-schedule TAS-102 + bev in refractory mCRC. My take: Runner up only because @cathyengmd already convincingly showed this is the dosing schedule we should be using. I already use this in clinical practice. Great to randomize but should be positive. UPPER GI CLARITY-Gastric01 + G-HOPE-001: CLDN18.2 ADCs in pretreated gastric/GEJ cancer (LBA7, LBA77) When: CLARITY-Gastric01 is Sun Oct 25, 17:18 CET, Presidential Symposium II. G-HOPE-001 is Fri Oct 23, 13:30 CEST, Upper GI Proffered Paper session. What: Two phase 3s of CLDN18.2 ADCs vs physician’s choice. Sone-Ve (CLARITY) was positive for OS, and arcotatug tavatecan (G-HOPE) was positive for PFS. My take: The next generation of CLDN18.2 is here. Expect less explosive emesis and improved outcomes. KEYNOTE-975: Pembrolizumab + definitive chemoradiotherapy in esophageal/GEJ cancer (2875O) When: Fri Oct 23, 13:50 CEST. Upper GI Proffered Paper session. What: Phase 3 of pembro vs placebo with definitive chemoradiation in esophageal/GEJ cancer. My take: Merck joins the D-FLOT era for patients still receiving definitive chemoRT. After the CROSS/FLOT study the impact of this is going to be less, but still important for patients receiving definitive chemoRT. HERIZON-GEA-01: Zanidatamab + chemo ± tislelizumab in 1L HER2+ GEA, second interim (LBA79) When: Fri Oct 23, 16:15 CEST. Upper GI Rapid Oral session. What: Second interim of zanidatamab + chemo ± tislelizumab vs trastuzumab + chemo in 1L HER2+ GEA. My take: My practice in HER2+ upper GI/GEA has moved to Zani, will be helpful to see the longer-term outcomes here. SANO: Active surveillance vs surgery after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for esophageal cancer, long-term results (LBA78) When: Fri Oct 23, 13:40 CEST. Upper GI Proffered Paper session. What: Long-term outcomes of active surveillance vs esophagectomy after nCRT in esophageal cancer. My take: People deserve to keep their organs. Our ability to offer this only improves when we layer in tools like ctDNA. Interested in what we can extrapolate to other organ systems (especially for MSI-H). PANCREAS RASolute 302: Daraxonrasib vs chemotherapy in previously treated mPDAC, subgroup analyses (LBA82) When: Fri Oct 23, 14:22 CEST. Upper GI Proffered Paper session. What: Additional subgroup analyses from the phase 3 of daraxonrasib vs chemo in 2L+ metastatic PDAC. My take: Everyone benefited. G12V more than others. Maybe there will be another standing ovation? Come for the science, stay for the clapping. AMPLIFY-7P: mKRAS vaccine ELI-002 7P vs observation in resected PDAC (LBA83) When: Fri Oct 23, 14:32 CEST. Upper GI Proffered Paper session. What: Randomized phase 2 of an off-the-shelf mKRAS vaccine vs observation after PDAC resection. It missed its DFS endpoint. My take: Vaccine therapies are the next frontier. Merck has pushed them forward in Melanoma where they are an amazing success, very interested in the randomized data here. Even if negative it will be critical data to learn from. HCC / BILIARY HARMONi-GI1: Ivonescimab vs durvalumab + GemCis in 1L biliary tract cancer (LBA8) When: Sun Oct 25, 17:42 CET. Presidential Symposium II. What: China-only phase 3 of a PD-1/VEGF bispecific vs durvalumab, both with GemCis. It was positive for OS. My take: PD-1/VEGF emerges in GI. Let’s see the benefit. China only. ACTICCA-1: Adjuvant gemcitabine + cisplatin after resected biliary tract cancer (LBA21) When: Sat Oct 24, 10:25 CEST. Upper GI Proffered Paper session. What: Phase 3 of adjuvant GemCis vs standard of care (capecitabine) after resection of cholangiocarcinoma or gallbladder cancer. My take: Might immediately change the standard of care for resected BTC. Worth tuning in for. @TheGutOncLab @Onco_Nexus @OncoAlert @oncodaily

Come for the science, stay for the clapping. AMPLIFY-7P LBA83 Fri 23 14:32 mKRAS vaccine vs observation, resected PDAC Vaccine therapies are the next frontier. Merck has pushed them forward in Melanoma where they are an amazing success, very interested in the randomized data here. Even if negative it will be critical data to learn from. HCC / BILIARY HARMONi-GI1 LBA8 Sun 25 17:42 Ivonescimab vs durvalumab + GemCis, 1L BTC PD-1/VEGF emerges in GI. Let's see the benefit. China only. ACTICCA-1 LBA21 Sat 24 10:25 Adjuvant GemCis vs capecitabine, resected BTC Might immediately change the standard of care for resected BTC. Worth tuning in for. Nicholas J.

3 disease areas. 3 big clinical questions heading into ESMO 2026. As new data emerge, the challenge isn't simply identifying which treatments work. It's understanding which patients benefit, how therapies should be sequenced, and where additional treatment may introduce unnecessary toxicity. In Episode 520 of The Uromigos Podcast, Dr. Silke Gillessen joins Brian and Tom to preview these studies and explore the clinical questions surrounding ESMO 2026. 🎧 Full Discussion on Spotify: https://t.co/kIKYvxkDcE 🎧 Full Discussion on Apple Podcasts: https://t.co/X4nUpQLEO1 #Uromigos #ESMO2026 #GUOncology #ProstateCancer #KidneyCancer #BladderCancer

[Slide 2] The Uromigos™ Prostate Cancer. Who benefits from treatment intensification? High-risk prostate cancer isn't one uniform patient population. Identifying who needs additional systemic treatment remains a central question. DASL-HiCaP New evidence on adding darolutamide in very high-risk localized disease. PROTEUS A subgroup analysis comparing intensified treatment around surgery with prostatectomy alone. PEACE-1 Long-term survival findings that may help clarify the role of prostate-directed radiotherapy in metastatic disease. Key theme: Patient selection may be just as important as the treatment being added. [prostate anatomy illustration] [Slide 3] The Uromigos™ Kidney Cancer. Is there a future for triplet therapy? Triplet therapy continues to evolve in advanced kidney cancer. New data at ESMO 2026 may help define which patients benefit most and how to manage associated toxicity. LITESPARK-012 First-line belzutifan + pembrolizumab + lenvatinib in advanced clear cell RCC. Treatment sequences How emerging data may inform optimal sequencing and patient selection. Toxicity management Balancing efficacy with tolerability remains a key consideration. Key theme: Better patient selection and thoughtful toxicity management will be essential. [kidney anatomy illustration] [Slide 4] The Uromigos™ Bladder Cancer. How much treatment is enough? At ESMO 2026, new data will help inform how to optimize perioperative strategies in bladder cancer, including the right intensity and sequencing of treatment. VOLGA Perioperative durvalumab + chemotherapy in muscle-invasive bladder cancer. KEYNOTE-905 Perioperative pembrolizumab + chemotherapy and long-term outcomes. Treatment decisions Emerging data may help refine who benefits from perioperative therapy and how to balance efficacy with toxicity. Key theme: Finding the right patients — and the right amount of treatment — remains critical. [bladder anatomy illustration]

[Slide 1] MedShr ESMO 2026 Top 10 Trial Predictions The studies most likely to shape practice in Madrid 23–27 October 2026 Madrid, Spain The full late-breaking abstract (LBA) list isn't public yet. ESMO keeps LBAs under embargo until presentation, so this ranking is based on company announcemen[ts] and preview coverage. [ESMO 2026 MADRID logo; Madrid skyline photo] # | Trial (abstract) | Setting | Why it matters 1 | INTerpath-001 (Presidential, 24 Oct) | Adjuvant stage IIB–IV melanoma — intismeran (mRNA neoantigen therapy) + pembrolizumab | First phase III of a personalised mRNA neoantigen therapy. If positive, this is the headline of the congress and opens a new kind of treatment. 2 | MOIO (LBA10, Presidential III, 26 Oct) | Immunotherapy given every 3 months vs standard schedule in responders — any solid tumour | Treatment de-escalation that applies to every tumour type. Large implications for cost, chair capacity and toxicity; directly relevant to the NHS. 3 | DeLLphi-305 (LBA3) | Extensive-stage SCLC maintenance — tarlatamab + durvalumab vs durvalumab | Moves a BiTE into first-line SCLC. An area where survival has barely moved. 4 | HARMONi-GI1 (LBA8, Presidential II, 25 Oct) | First-line biliary — ivonescimab + chemotherapy vs durvalumab + chemotherapy | Reported OS-positive. A PD-1 × VEGF bispecific beating the TOPAZ-1 standard; first proof against an active immunotherapy comparator outside lung. 5 | KRASCENDO 1 (LBA5) | Pretreated KRAS G12C NSCLC — divarasib vs sotorasib/adagrasib | Head-to-head between G12C inhibitors; could settle which one to use. 6 | CLARITY-Gastric 01 (LBA7) | CLDN18.2+ gastric, 3L+ — sonesitatug vedotin | OS-positive. Establishes a CLDN18.2 ADC as a new drug class. 7 | HERIZON-GEA-01 (LBA79) | First-line HER2+ GEA — zanidatamab ± tislelizumab + chemotherapy | Median OS 26.4 vs 19.2 months. Likely to displace trastuzumab. 8 | NATALEE 6-yr OS (LBA25) | Adjuvant HR+ early breast — ribociclib | An OS signal would settle debate over adjuvant CDK4/6 use; large audience. 9 | SAFFRON (LBA6) / SANOVO (LBA69) | MET-overexpressed EGFR+ NSCLC, after osimertinib / treatment-naïve | Chemo-free option for MET-driven resistance. 10 | KEYNOTE-B49 (LBA51) | HR+/HER2− advanced breast — pembrolizumab + chemotherapy | Would be the first immunotherapy win in luminal disease. Please note: This is a provisional ranking based on company announcements and preview coverage. The full LBA list and several Presidential slots are unconfirmed, and coverage of GU, gynae and colorectal is thin.

#ESMO26 | PANKU-Breast01 In HR+/HER2− mBC, the EGFR/HER3 bispecific ADC (iza-bren): PFS: 8.18 vs 4.05 months (HR 0.41). Grade ≥3 TRAEs: 40.5% vs 20.2%. OS remains immature. An impressive PFS benefit. However, in an era when ADCs such as T-DXd and SG are already in use, superiority over chemotherapy alone is not enough. Another treatment option… The added value of bispecific targeting, particularly its efficacy after other TOP1-ADCs, remains uncertain. These are the key data needed to define its place in treatment sequencing.

[Slide 1] [search icon] Proffered Paper session LBA50 - PANKU-Breast01: Randomized phase III study of izalontamab brengitecan (iza-bren) in previously treated unresectable locally advanced or metastatic (LA/M) hormone receptor-positive/HER2-negative (HR+/HER2-) breast cancer (BC) Speakers Bo Lan (Beijing, China) Lecture Time 14:35 - 14:45 Abstract Background Although first-line endocrine therapy plus CDK4/6 inhibitors has improved clinical outcome of HR+/HER2- BC, patients (pts) inevitably develop resistance and survival outcomes remain poor with subsequent therapy. Iza-bren is a first-in-class bispecific antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) against EGFR and HER3, containing a potent topoisomerase I inhibitor payload (Ed-04). Methods Eligible pts had unresectable LA/M HR+/HER2- BC (HR+, ER≥1% and/or PR≥1%; HER2-, IHC 0, 1+, or 2+/ISH-), progressed after at least 1L of endocrine therapy and 1 or 2L prior chemotherapy, and had previously received CDK4/6 inhibitors and taxanes. Pts were randomized 1:1 to receive iza-bren (2.5 mg/kg D1D8 Q3W) or TPC (eribulin, capecitabine, gemcitabine, or vinorelbine). The primary endpoint was PFS by blinded independent central review (BICR). Secondary endpoint included OS. The pre-planned final analysis for PFS serves as the interim analysis for OS. Results As of Jul 21, 2026, a total of 383 pts were randomized and treated (iza-bren/TPC, 190/193). Median follow-up for PFS was 15.24 vs 13.63 mo (iza-bren/TPC). Iza-bren significantly improved PFS by BICR vs TPC; mPFS was 8.18 mo (95% CI, 6.93-8.58) vs 4.01 mo (95% CI, 2.92-4.30) (HR, 0.41; 95% CI, 0.33-0.53; P<0.0001). OS was immature at the interim analysis, and no detrimental effect was observed. The cORR by BICR was 40.5% with iza-bren vs 20.2% with TPC, and mDOR was 6.93 vs 4.21 mo, respectively. Grade ≥3 TRAEs were predominantly hematologic in nature. TRAEs were manageable with standard supportive care, and only 1.6% of pts discontinued iza-bren treatment due to TRAEs. Adjudicated ILD occurred in 2 (1.1%) pts with iza-bren (grade 1 or 2). No new safety signals were identified. Conclusions The study met its primary endpoint at the prespecified analysis. Iza-bren demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in PFS vs TPC in previously treated HR+/HER2- BC. The safety profile was manageable and consistent with previous studies. The results support iza-bren as a new standard of care option in this population in China.

[Slide 2] ESMO CONGRESS 2026 - MADRID - 23-27 OCTOBER Ten trials to watch A personal shortlist of the studies most likely to change practice in Madrid. [Headshot] Dr Mario Balsa Skin Cancer Unit Clínic Comprehensive Cancer Center Barcelona [Table columns: NO. | TRIAL | SETTING | WHY IT MATTERS] 01 | INTerpath-001 - LBA1 - Presidential I - 24 Oct | Resected melanoma, stage IIB-IV (adjuvant) - Intismeran autogene (mRNA) + pembrolizumab vs pembrolizumab | First phase III readout for an individualised neoantigen therapy. A positive result opens an entirely new class of treatment. 02 | MOIO - LBA10 - Presidential III - 26 Oct | Responders to immunotherapy, any solid tumour - Same dose every 3 months vs standard schedule | Tumour-agnostic de-escalation, with direct consequences for toxicity, cost and day-unit capacity. 03 | DeLLphi-305 - LBA3 - Presidential | Extensive-stage SCLC, maintenance - Tarlatamab + durvalumab vs durvalumab | OS benefit at interim analysis. Brings a DLL3-directed BiTE into first line, where survival has barely moved. 04 | HARMONi-GI1 - LBA8 - Presidential II - 25 Oct | First-line biliary tract cancer - Ivonescimab + chemo vs durvalumab + chemo | OS benefit over the TOPAZ-1 standard in a Chinese phase III: a PD-1 × VEGF bispecific beating active immunotherapy outside lung. 05 | KRASCENDO-1 - LBA5 - Presidential | Pretreated KRAS G12C NSCLC - Divarasib vs sotorasib or adagrasib | A true head-to-head within the G12C class: divarasib reported superior PFS over the first-generation inhibitors. 06 | CLARITY-Gastric 01 - LBA7 | CLDN18.2-positive gastric/GEJ, second line and beyond - Sonesitatug vedotin vs investigator's choice | OS benefit in third line and beyond, and across the wider pretreated population. Establishes CLDN18.2-directed ADCs as a class. 07 | HERIZON-GEA-01 - LBA79 - Second interim analysis | First-line HER2-positive GEA - Zanidatamab + chemo ± tislelizumab vs trastuzumab + chemo | Updated data for a regimen already approved by the FDA. Longer follow-up should firm up its place over trastuzumab. 08 | NATALEE - LBA25 - 6-year OS | Adjuvant HR-positive early breast cancer - Ribociclib | A survival signal would close the long-running debate on adjuvant CDK4/6 inhibition. 09 | SAFFRON / SANOVO - LBA6 - Presidential II / LBA69 | MET-overexpressed EGFR-mutant NSCLC - Savolitinib + osimertinib, after osimertinib / first line | A chemotherapy-free strategy for MET-driven disease, both at resistance and upfront. 10 | KEYNOTE-B49 - LBA51 | HR+/HER2- advanced breast, PD-L1 CPS ≥1 - Pembrolizumab vs placebo + chemotherapy | Would be the first immunotherapy win in luminal disease.

SWITCH | ESMO 2026 New Target. Same Payload. Same Resistance? Can switching the ADC target overcome resistance in metastatic breast cancer? 🔹 Phase II | 54 patients | HER2-negative mBC 🔹 94.4% previously exposed to TOP1i-based ADCs 🔹 Only 2/54 responded (3.7%) 🔹 Both responses followed a switch from an MMAE-based ADC to a TOP1i-based ADC. 🔹 No responses after switching between ADCs within the same TOP1i payload class. Key lesson: Different target ≠ Different killing mechanism. Payload cross-resistance may be a major obstacle to ADC sequencing. Change the weapon, not just the address? ⚠️ Small, hypothesis-generating study. Not practice-changing. #MVOnco #ESMO2026 #BreastCancer #ADC #Oncology

[Slide 1] SWITCH | ESMO 2026 New Target. Same Payload. Same Resistance? MV Onco [illustration: ADC-resistant cancer cell with HER2 and TROP2 receptors] HER2-targeted ADC TOP1i Different targets. Same payload class. TROP2-targeted ADC TOP1i ADC-resistant cancer cell Different payload class may overcome resistance Microtubule inhibitor (MMAE) Microtubule inhibitor → TOP1i TOP1i Response observed (2/54) 54 patients | Phase II | 94.4% previously exposed to TOP1i ADCs ONLY 2/54 RESPONDED A: 0% | B: 8.3% | C: 0% | D: 5% TAKE-HOME • Changing the target alone produced limited responses. • Payload cross-resistance may matter more than antigen switching. • Change the weapon - not just the address? • Small phase II trial. Hypothesis-generating. [Slide 2] SWITCH | ESMO 2026 PART 1/2 New Target. Same Payload. Does It Work? MV Onco 01 WHY SWITCH? • HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer • Resistance to antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) is an emerging challenge. • After progression on an ADC, what should we change? ○ The antigen target? ○ The cytotoxic payload? • Can changing the target alone overcome resistance? [illustration: Before ADC response / After ADC progression (resistance)] 02 TRIAL DESIGN • Phase II | Prospective | Open-label • 54 patients | HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer • Progression after ≥1 prior ADC • Four investigational ADC cohorts assigned according to prior treatment history. • Primary endpoint: Investigator-assessed ORR [four bottles:] SHR-A1811 Cohort A (n=10) SHR-A1921 Cohort B (n=12) SHR-A2009 Cohort C (n=12) SHR-A2102 Cohort D (n=20) All FOUR ADCs carried a TOP1 inhibitor payload 03 WHICH ADCs WERE TESTED? • Four investigational ADCs with different targets and constructs. • All used the SAME TOP1 inhibitor payload. • Cohort A - SHR-A1811 (n=10) • Cohort B - SHR-A1921 (n=12) • Cohort C - SHR-A2009 (n=12) • Cohort D - SHR-A2102 (n=20) [ADC illustration] Different antigen targets and ADC constructs / Same cytotoxic payload (TOP1 inhibitor) 04 HOW HEAVILY PRETREATED? • 94.4% had prior TOP1i-based ADC exposure. • Most patients had already received an ADC with the same payload class. • Could another TOP1i-based ADC restore sensitivity? [pictogram] 94.4% had prior TOP1i-based ADC exposure 05 WHAT WERE THE RESULTS? CONFIRMED OBJECTIVE RESPONSE RATE • Cohort A - 0% • Cohort B - 8.3% • Cohort C - 0% • Cohort D - 5% Only 2 of 54 patients responded (3.7%). TAKE-HOME • Changing the ADC construct while retaining a TOP1i payload produced very limited responses. • NEXT: Is payload cross-resistance the missing explanation? [Slide 3] SWITCH | ESMO 2026 Change the Target - Or Change the Payload? PART 2/2 MV Onco 01 WHERE DID RESPONSES OCCUR? ONLY AFTER SWITCHING PAYLOAD CLASS Both responders had previously received: Disitamab vedotin (RC48) • Microtubule inhibitor payload (MMAE) [ADC illustration] RC48 (Disitamab vedotin) Target: HER2 Payload: MMAE (microtubule inhibitor) Then switched to: TOP1i-based ADC - Different target, Payload: TOP1 inhibitor 2 responses among 54 patients → No responses were observed after switching between ADCs with the same TOP1i payload class. 02 WHY DID TARGET SWITCHING FAIL? POSSIBLE PAYLOAD CROSS-RESISTANCE ADC resistance may involve: • Antigen loss or downregulation • Impaired internalization • Drug efflux mechanisms • Altered TOP1 activity • Enhanced DNA damage repair [cell illustration labelled: Antigen loss downregulation, Impaired internalization, Drug efflux, Altered TOP1 activity, Enhanced DNA damage repair] Changing the antigen may not overcome resistance to the cytotoxic payload. Different target ≠ Different killing mechanism 03 WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR ADC SEQUENCING? Consider progression after T-DXd. T-DXd (HER2) Payload: DXd (TOP1 inhibitor) → Sacituzumab govitecan (TROP2) Payload: SN-38 (TOP1 inhibitor) • HER2 → TROP2: Different targets • DXd → SN-38: Different molecules • Both: TOP1 inhibitor payload class • Potential for cross-resistance despite antigen switching. Important: SWITCH does NOT establish that sacituzumab govitecan is ineffective after T-DXd. 04 WHAT ARE THE LIMITATIONS? Small, hypothesis-generating phase II trial • Only 54 patients • Only 2 confirmed responses • Small, treatment-history-selected cohorts • No direct randomized comparison of payload-switching strategies • No definitive mechanistic proof of cross-resistance • Safety was described as manageable, without detailed toxicity rates in the abstract. Association ≠ Proof of mechanism 05 WHAT SHOULD FUTURE TRIALS TEST? Three sequencing strategies: A Different target + Same payload class B Same target + Different payload class C Different target + Different payload class • Integrate antigen expression and molecular resistance biomarkers. • Which strategy can truly restore ADC sensitivity? TAKE-HOME New Target. Same Payload. Limited Responses. • SWITCH suggests that payload-class cross-resistance may contribute substantially to ADC failure. • Changing the antigen alone may be insufficient. • The next frontier in ADC sequencing may be changing the weapon - not merely its address. • Hypothesis-generating, not practice-changing.

SWITCH vs SATEEN | ADC Sequencing: Is the Payload the Problem? Different populations. Different strategies. Same ORR: 3.7%. 🔹 SWITCH: HER2-negative MBC — 2/54 responses. No responses after TOP1i → TOP1i switching. 🔹 SATEEN: HER2-positive MBC after T-DXd — SG + trastuzumab. ORR 3.7%; median PFS 2.3 months. Key question: Are we changing the ADC target while retaining the same resistance problem? TAKE-HOME: Target switching alone may be insufficient. Payload-class cross-resistance is plausible, but unproven. Diversifying the cytotoxic mechanism deserves investigation. Different Targets. Same Payload Class. Limited Responses. 📚 References: SWITCH (ESMO 2026); SATEEN (published phase II study). #MVOnco #ESMO2026 #BreastCancer #ADC #Oncology

BOTH STUDIES → ORR 3.7% Different populations. Similar concern about sequential TOP1i-based ADCs. TAKE-HOME 1 TARGET SWITCHING MAY NOT BE ENOUGH. Changing the antigen does not necessarily overcome resistance. 2 SAME PAYLOAD CLASS MAY MEAN CROSS-RESISTANCE. Different TOP1 inhibitors may share resistance mechanisms. 3 PAYLOAD DIVERSIFICATION DESERVES STUDY. Changing the cytotoxic mechanism may be more useful than changing the target alone. 4 NOT YET PRACTICE-CHANGING. Small phase II studies; mechanistic cross-resistance remains unproven.

Incredibly positive. This is already what I'm doing in clinical practice and is a massive step forward for the 5–10% of rectal cancer patients that are MSI-H. Yay. IROCAS LBA29 Sun 25 10:15 Adjuvant mFOLFIRINOX vs mFOLFOX6, T4/N2 colon Important study, and honestly, it is going to predict if US-CIRCULATE will be positive. If this is negative, CIRCULATE will be a nail-biter. CheckMate 8HW LBA32 Sat 24 15:42 Final OS: nivo/ipi vs nivo vs chemo, MSI-H mCRC What happens when you do a trial with an agent that essentially cures a disease against another that cures most people? It is a really long damn trial. Excited for the final OS data. Will it be positive? TBD, but I certainly think the magnitude of benefit of dual IO makes it better than single agent, and this data could reinforce that practice. UNION 3530O Sun 25 11:10 SCRT → camrelizumab + CAPOX, locally advanced rectal pCR reported at ~40% in 2024, let's see if more people were cured. Some criticism in changing radiation schedule and adding IO compared to standard, but will set the stage for future studies. EMT2 LBA30 Sun 25 10:25 EPA vs placebo after CRC liver metastasis resection It's like fish oil but better. File this in the ALASCCA category of "costs nothing, helps people" if positive. ALASCCA + CHALLENGE <3 QTX3034 790RO Sat 24 15:15 KRAS G12D inhibitor + cetuximab ± mFOLFOX6, mCRC Sick study. Moving us to molecularly driven treatments in earlier line settings for CRC.

RUNNER-UP Biweekly TAS-102 + bev LBA31 Sat 24 15:37 Biweekly vs standard schedule, refractory mCRC Runner up only because Cathy Eng already convincingly showed this is the dosing schedule we should be using. I already use this in clinical practice. Great to randomize but should be positive. UPPER GI CLARITY-Gastric01 + G-HOPE-001 LBA7 Sun 25 17:18 · LBA77 Fri 23 13:30 CLDN18.2 ADCs, pretreated gastric/GEJ The next generation of CLDN18.2 is here. Expect less explosive emesis and improved outcomes. KEYNOTE-975 2875O Fri 23 13:50 Pembro + definitive chemoRT, esophageal/GEJ Merck joins the D-FLOT era for patients still receiving definitive chemoRT. After the CROSS/FLOT study the impact of this is going to be less, but still important for patients receiving definitive chemoRT. HERIZON-GEA-01 LBA79 Fri 23 16:15 Zanidatamab ± tislelizumab, 1L HER2+ GEA My practice in HER2+ upper GI/GEA has moved to Zani, will be helpful to see the longer-term outcomes here. SANO LBA78 Fri 23 13:40 Active surveillance vs surgery after nCRT, long-term People deserve to keep their organs. Our ability to offer this only improves when we layer in tools like ctDNA. Interested in what we can extrapolate to other organ systems (especially for MSI-H). PANCREAS RASolute 302 LBA82 Fri 23 14:22 Daraxonrasib subgroups, 2L+ metastatic PDAC Every subgroup likely benefited. G12V more than others. Maybe there will be another standing ovation? Come for the science, stay for the clapping. AMPLIFY-7P LBA83 Fri 23 14:32 mKRAS vaccine vs observation, resected PDAC Vaccine therapies are the next frontier. Merck has pushed them forward in Melanoma where they are an amazing success, very interested in the randomized data here. Even if negative it will be critical data to learn from. HCC / BILIARY HARMONi-GI1 LBA8 Sun 25 17:42 Ivonescimab vs durvalumab + GemCis, 1L BTC PD-1/VEGF emerges in GI. Let's see the benefit. China only.

[Slide 1] 2658RO - Overall survival (OS) analysis of telisotuzumab adizutecan in patients (pts) with nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSQ NSCLC): Phase 1 first-in-human study Speakers David Sommerhalder (San Antonio, United States of America) Lecture Time 09:27 - 09:32 Abstract Background c-Met (or MET) protein is highly expressed in NSCLC and has a poor prognosis. Telisotuzumab adizutecan (ABBV-400; Temab-A) is an antibody drug conjugate (ADC) consisting of an anti c-Met antibody conjugated to a Top1i payload. In an ongoing phase 1 study (NCT05029882), Temab-A showed promising efficacy and manageable safety in pts with NSQ NSCLC. Herein, we present OS for pts with NSQ NSCLC. Methods Enrolled pts with advanced EGFR wildtype (WT) or mutant (MUT) NSQ NSCLC that progressed after platinum-based chemotherapy and immune checkpoint or targeted therapy received Temab-A once every 21 days. Primary endpoint was confirmed investigator-assessed objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST v1.1. Secondary endpoints included duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS) and OS. Tumor tissue c-Met protein expression was retrospectively assessed by IHC via central laboratory. Results The EGFR WT cohort enrolled 48 pts (median follow-up: 27 months [mo]; median prior lines of therapy [LoT] 2 [range, 1–9]) and the EGFR MUT cohort enrolled 41 pts (median follow-up: 26 mo; median prior LoT: 3 [1–8]). Most pts received 2.4 mg/kg dose (EGFR WT: 81%, 39/48; EGFR MUT: 88%, 36/41); the remaining received 3.0 mg/kg. Median duration of treatment was 5.6 and 10 mo in the EGFR WT and EGFR MUT cohorts, respectively. Median OS for EGFR WT and EGFR MUT was 13.8 mo and 16.2 mo (Table). Among EGFR WT patients, the prevalence of c-MET expression ≥3+ staining intensity in ≥10% and ≥25% tumor cells was 43% (20/46) and 33% (15/46), respectively. Among EGFR MUT patients, it was 56% (19/34) and 41% (14/34), respectively. Median OS was longer in EGFR WT pts with c-MET above these thresholds (≥3+, ≥10%: 25.2 mo; ≥3+, ≥25%: 19.2 mo). No new safety signals were observed.

[Slide 1] 3837RO - ABBV-706: A first-in-class SEZ6-targeted topoisomerase 1 inhibitor (Top1i)-antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) with robust antitumour activity in relapsed/refractory small cell lung cancer (R/R SCLC) Speakers Anne C. Chiang (New Heaven, United States of America) Lecture Time 10:15 - 10:20 Abstract Background SEZ6 exhibits higher expression on SCLC cells than other SCLC therapeutic targets. ABBV-706 is a SEZ6-targeted ADC that selectively delivers a potent, cytotoxic Top1i payload (adizutecan) to SEZ6-expressing tumour cells. Phase (Ph) 1 results of ABBV-706 monotherapy in R/R SCLC (NCT05599984), including biomarker-response associations and ABBV-706 preclinical activity, are presented. Methods Archival tumour tissue was collected at baseline for immunohistochemistry (IHC) and RNA-Seq. Serum neuroendocrine proGRP and circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) were assessed longitudinally. Binding and trafficking of SEZ6 on normal lung alveolar and SCLC cell lines were determined by flow cytometry and high content imaging. Adizutecan potency and activity was assessed in vitro; RNA-Seq was performed on SCLC cells. Results As of Sept 27, 2025, 124 patients (pts) with R/R SCLC received ABBV-706. Among pts with second-line plus (2L+) R/R SCLC who received the recommended Ph 3 dose of 1.8 mg/kg Q3W in Part 2a dose optimization (n=41), an objective response rate (ORR) of 56% and median overall survival (mOS) of 12.4 months (mo) was observed. In a subset with 2L R/R SCLC (n=17), ORR was 82% and mOS was 14.3 mo. Among 2L+ R/R SCLC, safety was comparable with prior data. ABBV-706 drove rapid declines in ctDNA and proGRP as early as cycle (C) 2 day (D) 1. At C3D1, 100% ctDNA clearance was associated with improved progression-free survival and OS. SEZ6 IHC expression was highly prevalent (93% above a 1% [1+ cutoff]), stable across therapy lines, and similar in responders and non-responders. SEZ6 was absent on human normal alveolar lung cells. Preclinically, SEZ6 antibody showed minimal binding and lysosomal trafficking in normal human pulmonary alveolar epithelial cells; significant trafficking in SEZ6-expressing SCLC cells was observed. Adizutecan potently reduced viability and increased expression of MHC-I, PD-L1, and key immune pathways in SCLC cell lines. Conclusions ABBV-706 monotherapy shows promising clinical benefit in heavily pretreated R/R SCLC with biomarker and preclinical data reinforcing its selective, differentiated, and potent antitumour profile.

🚨 PANKU-Breast01 | ESMO 2026 | LBA50 TWO TARGETS. DOUBLE THE PFS. BUT WHAT ABOUT SURVIVAL? Phase III trial of izalontamab brengitecan (iza-bren), a bispecific EGFR/HER3 ADC, in previously treated HR+/HER2− advanced breast cancer. 🔹 N = 383 | Iza-bren vs physician's choice chemotherapy 🔹 Median PFS: 8.18 vs 4.01 months 🔹 HR 0.41 — 59% lower hazard of progression or death 🔹 ORR: 40.5% vs 20.2% 🔹 ILD: 1.1%, all grade 1–2 ⚠️ OS immature. Optimal ADC sequencing remains unresolved. TAKE-HOME Dual EGFR/HER3 targeting nearly doubles median PFS, but an overall survival advantage remains unproven. 📖 Ref: Lan B et al. PANKU-Breast01.

[Slide 1] PANKU-Breast01 | ESMO 2026 | LBA50 TWO TARGETS. DOUBLE THE PFS. BUT WILL PATIENTS LIVE LONGER? MV Onco [illustration: breast cancer tumour; bispecific ADC binding EGFR and HER3; chemotherapy] Breast cancer tumour IZA-BREN EGFR HER3 Chemotherapy IZA-BREN MEDIAN PFS IZA-BREN 8.18 MONTHS versus CHEMOTHERAPY 4.01 MONTHS HR 0.41 | 59% LOWER HAZARD ORR: 40.5% vs 20.2% OVERALL SURVIVAL? STILL IMMATURE. [Slide 2] PANKU-Breast01 | ESMO 2026 | LBA50 Part 1 – Can a Bispecific ADC Double PFS? MV Onco 01 THE CLINICAL QUESTION • HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer. • Progression after endocrine therapy. • Previously received CDK4/6 inhibitors and taxanes. • 1-2 prior chemotherapy lines. • Can a bispecific ADC outperform chemotherapy? 02 TRIAL DESIGN & TREATMENTS Phase III | N = 383 | Randomized 1:1 ▶ IZA-BREN (n = 190) – EGFR + HER3 bispecific ADC. – TOP1 inhibitor payload (Ed-04). – 2.5 mg/kg IV, Days 1 & 8, every 3 weeks. ▶ PHYSICIAN'S CHOICE (n = 193) – Eribulin / Capecitabine – Gemcitabine / Vinorelbine Primary endpoint → BICR-assessed PFS 03 DID IT DOUBLE PFS? Median PFS Iza-bren → 8.18 months Chemotherapy → 4.01 months HR 0.41 (95% CI 0.33–0.53) P < 0.0001 59% LOWER HAZARD OF PROGRESSION OR DEATH ~2× MEDIAN PFS 04 DID MORE TUMOURS RESPOND? Objective response rate Iza-bren → 40.5% vs Chemotherapy → 20.2% Median duration of response Iza-bren → 6.93 months vs Chemotherapy → 4.21 months TAKE-HOME • Iza-bren nearly doubled median PFS and ORR versus chemotherapy. • Overall survival remains immature. [Slide 3] PANKU-Breast01 | ESMO 2026 | LBA50 Part 2 – Is Iza-bren the Next ADC Standard? MV Onco 01 HOW SAFE IS IZA-BREN? • Grade ≥3 toxicities: Predominantly hematologic. • ILD → 1.1% (2 patients) Both grade 1-2. • Discontinuation due to TRAEs → 1.6% ✓ Manageable early safety profile. • Long-term safety needs confirmation. 02 WHAT ABOUT OVERALL SURVIVAL? OS DATA IMMATURE • No detrimental OS effect observed at interim analysis. • PFS HR → 0.41 • But PFS benefit ≠ proven OS benefit. • Survival advantage NOT YET established. 03 HOW DOES IT FIT AMONG ADCs? • T-DXd → HER2 • Sacituzumab govitecan → TROP2 • Iza-bren → EGFR + HER3 All deliver TOP1 inhibitor payloads. • No head-to-head ADC comparison. • Efficacy after prior ADCs remains unknown. • Optimal ADC sequencing unresolved. 04 WHAT QUESTIONS REMAIN? • Does PFS translate into OS? • Does efficacy differ in HER2-zero vs HER2-low? • Can it overcome resistance to prior ADCs? • Will EGFR/HER3 expression predict benefit? TAKE-HOME • Iza-bren offers impressive PFS benefit with manageable reported toxicity. • But OS, ADC sequencing and long-term safety remain unanswered.

[Slide 2] G-HOPE-001 | ESMO 2026 | LBA77 Part 1 – Can a CLDN18.2 ADC Beat Chemotherapy? MV Onco 01 THE CLINICAL QUESTION • Advanced gastric/GEJ adenocarcinoma • Progression after 2–4 prior regimens. • CLDN18.2 IHC ≥2+ in ≥75% of tumour cells. • Can a CLDN18.2 ADC outperform chemotherapy? 02 THE TRIAL G-HOPE-001 | Phase III | N = 408 Arcotatug tavatecan (IBI343) 6 mg/kg IV Q3W n = 203 VS Physician's choice chemotherapy n = 205 Irinotecan / paclitaxel / trifluridine-tipiracil Primary endpoints: PFS and OS. 03 THE PFS & RESPONSE RESULTS Median PFS 5.5 vs 2.9 months HR 0.47 (95% CI 0.34–0.65) 53% lower progression/death hazard. Objective response rate 23.6% vs 5.3% Absolute ORR gain: +18.3 percentage points. 04 THE OS QUESTION Median OS 9.9 vs 7.4 months HR 0.63 (95% CI 0.45–0.89) But only 34.8% of OS events occurred. OS IMMATURE – NOT YET DEFINITIVE. TAKE-HOME • PFS hazard reduced by 53%. • ORR approximately 4.5-fold higher. • Mature OS results awaited. [Slide 3] G-HOPE-001 | ESMO 2026 | LBA77 Part 2 – What Makes This CLDN18.2 ADC Different? MV Onco 01 WHY IS IBI343 DIFFERENT? Arcotatug tavatecan = CLDN18.2-targeted ADC • Fc-silenced antibody + • Exatecan-derived TOP1 inhibitor payload. Zolbetuximab • Anti-CLDN18.2 antibody • Relies primarily on immune-mediated cytotoxicity. IBI343 (Arcotatug tavatecan) • Anti-CLDN18.2 ADC • Delivers cytotoxic payload • Exatecan-derived TOP1 inhibitor inside tumour cells. 02 THE SAFETY SURPRISE Grade ≥3 TEAEs 45.8% vs 57.9% IBI343 Chemotherapy Diarrhoea 12.8% vs 34.5% IBI343 Chemotherapy ILD: 0 cases observed. No treatment-related deaths. No observed ILD ≠ No ILD risk. 03 THE SEQUENCING DILEMMA Can IBI343 work after zolbetuximab? • Same target: CLDN18.2. • Different mechanisms: • Zolbetuximab → Immune-mediated cytotoxicity. • IBI343 → TOP1 payload delivery. Post-zolbetuximab efficacy remains uncertain. 04 WHAT REMAINS UNANSWERED? • Mature OS? → Only 34.8% of OS events occurred. • After zolbetuximab? → Benefit not established. • Lower CLDN18.2 expression? → Not studied in this trial. • Beyond East Asia? → Further generalisability data needed. TAKE-HOME • One target. Two different therapeutic strategies. • CLDN18.2 ADC shows promising efficacy with manageable toxicity. • Optimal sequencing and mature OS remain the key questions.

[Slide 1] NSCLC, metastatic 2805eP - First-line BRAF/MEK inhibition versus immune checkpoint inhibitor-based therapy in BRAF V600E-mutant metastatic NSCLC: A meta-analysis Presentation Number 2805eP Speakers Yakup Ergün (Diyarbakır, Türkiye) Authors Yakup Ergün (Diyarbakır, Türkiye), Rohit Gosain (Buffalo, United States of America), Rahul Gosain (Rochester, United States of America) Abstract Background The optimal first-line treatment for patients with BRAF V600E-mutant metastatic NSCLC remains unclear. While current ESMO and NCCN guidelines prioritize BRAF/MEK inhibition, no randomized trials have directly compared targeted therapy with immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-based regimens. We performed a meta-analysis of retrospective studies to compare efficacy outcomes between these strategies. Methods A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library. Retrospective studies comparing first-line BRAF/MEK inhibitor combinations versus ICI-based therapies (monotherapy or chemoimmunotherapy) were included. The primary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), while objective response rate (ORR) was evaluated as a secondary endpoint. Effect sizes were pooled as hazard ratios (HRs) for survival outcomes and odds ratios (ORs) for ORR with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using fixed- or random-effects models based on heterogeneity. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I² statistic. Results Four retrospective studies including 589 patients (BRAF/MEK: n=384; ICI-based: n=205) were analyzed. No statistically significant difference in PFS was observed between the two strategies (HR 1.22; 95% CI 0.89-1.68; p=0.22; I²=0%); however, a numerical trend favored BRAF/MEK inhibition. Similarly, OS did not differ significantly (HR 1.01; 95% CI 0.59-1.73; p=0.97), although substantial heterogeneity was present (I²=69%). In contrast, ORR was significantly higher with BRAF/MEK inhibition compared to ICI-based therapy (61% vs 48%, OR 0.60; 95% CI 0.37-0.97; p=0.04; I²=0%). Conclusions In this meta-analysis of retrospective data, BRAF/MEK inhibition was associated with significantly higher response rates, while no statistically significant differences were observed in survival outcomes. A consistent numerical trend in PFS favoring targeted therapy suggests a potential efficacy signal that may not reach statistical significance due to the limited number of studies and patients. The substantial heterogeneity observed in OS further limits definitive interpretation.

#ESMO26 | PERSEE – Phase III In advanced NSCLC with PD-L1 ≥50%, adding chemotherapy to pembrolizumab improved median PFS from 6.9 to 16.1 months (HR 0.56). The numerical OS difference was notable (50.2 vs 29.9 months; HR 0.77), but not statistically significant. However, we should remember that OS was not the primary endpoint! Grade ≥3 toxicity: 53.8% vs 19.3%. I think adding chemotherapy provides benefit, but at the cost of increased toxicity. We need to better identify the patients for whom this toxicity is worth it.

[Slide 1] Proffered Paper session 2614O - Pembrolizumab with or without platinum-based chemotherapy as first-line treatment in advanced NSCLC with PD-L1 ≥50%: PERSEE phase 3 trial (GFPC 01-2020) Speakers Chantal Decroisette (Lyon, France, CEDEX) Lecture Time 10:25 - 10:35 Abstract Background Pembrolizumab (pembro) monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy are standard first-line options in advanced PD-L1 ≥50% NSCLC. We evaluated whether adding platinum-based chemotherapy improves outcomes versus pembro monotherapy. Methods This multicentre open-label phase 3 trial enrolled patients (pts) with untreated stage IV or not amenable to radiotherapy stage III PD-L1 ≥50% NSCLC, PS 0-1 and no EGFR/ALK alterations. Pts, stratified by histology and presence of brain metastases, were randomised (1:1) to pembro plus platinum-based chemotherapy (pembro-CT) (paclitaxel for squamous, pemetrexed for non-squamous histology) for four cycles followed by maintenance pembro + pemetrexed, or pembro alone. Primary endpoint was progression free survival (PFS) by blinded central review (BCR) per RECIST v1.1. Key secondary endpoints included investigators assessed PFS, overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), duration of response (DoR) and safety. The study was powered to test the superiority for PFS of pembro-CT over pembro (HR 0.70), with 80% power and a two-sided alpha of 5%. Results Between December 2020 and December 2023, 321 pts were randomised across 28 French centres. Median age was 64 years (59-69), 32.4% of pts were female, 2.2% were non-smokers, 23.4% had brain metastases, and 19.6% had squamous histology. At the cut-off date of 7 April 2026, the median follow-up was 38.7 (35.3-41.6) months. By BCR, pembro-CT significantly improved PFS compared with pembro: HR 0.56; 95% CI 0.43-0.74; p <0.001; median 16.1 (11.0-34.1) vs 6.9 (5.5-9.3) months. Median PFS by investigators was 13.7 (9.3-25.4) vs 6.9 (4.7-9.2) months (HR 0.60; 95% CI 0.46-0.78). Median OS was 50.2 (32.6-NR) vs 29.9 (23.4-47.9) months (HR 0.77; 95% CI 0.57-1.05), ORR 77.5% vs 50.3%, DoR 30 (13.1-NR) vs 15.6 (9.8-32.8) months (HR 0.86; 95% CI 0.59-1.24) for pembro-CT and pembro, respectively. Grade ≥ 3 TRAEs occurred in 53.8% and 19.3% of pts in the pembro-CT and pembro arms, respectively. Conclusions In first line treatment of advanced PD-L1 ≥50% NSCLC, PERSEE demonstrates a significant improvement of PFS with pembro-CT compared to pembro monotherapy and may help refine treatment selection.

#ESMO26 | DIAL – Phase II In metastatic NSCLC, stopping pembrolizumab after 6 months of chemoimmunotherapy was compared with continuing it for up to 2 years in patients without disease progression. Of 197 patients, only 93 were randomized, and 84 were evaluated in the phase II analysis. 18-month OS: 88.1% vs 83.3%. Immune-related toxicity: 47.8% vs 85.1%. DIAL is interesting, but the number of randomized patients is quite limited, and PFS data have not yet been reported. Similar OS rates (18 months) do not yet establish that stopping at 6 months is safe or equivalent. The optimal duration of immunotherapy, particularly in patients achieving CR/PR, remains an important question. However, I also don't think continuing treatment for 2 years is necessary for every patient.

[Slide 1] Rapid Oral session 2618RO - Analysis of the phase 2 part of IFCT-2103 DIAL phase 2-3 randomized trial, comparing continuation pembrolizumab (± pemetrexed) up to 2 years versus observation (± pemetrexed), in patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC) with disease control (DC) at 6 months Speakers Anne Claire Toffart (La Tronche, France) Lecture Time 09:14 - 09:19 Abstract Background Optimal duration of 1L immunotherapy (io) in mNSCLC patients, with DC remains debatable. We aimed to study de-escalation by stopping pembrolizumab in patients with 6-months DC after chemo-io induction, as compared to 24 months. Methods This randomized open-label trial included treatment-naïve 18-75 yrs. mNSCLC patients (pts), ECOG PS 0-1, w/o actionable tumor molecular alteration, stratified according to PS, histology (SCC. vs. non-SCC), PD-L1 tumor level, sex and quality of response (stable vs. objective response). They received 4 cycles of 1L platinum-based chemo doublet+pembro, either paclitaxel-carboplatin, followed by maintenance pembro, for SCC patients or pemetrexed-platinum, followed by pembro + pemetrexed continuation for non-SCC patients. At 6 months, patients with DC were randomized 1:1 either to pembrolizumab (± pemetrexed in non-SCC patients) continuation until 2 years, or to observation (± pemetrexed). Primary outcome was 18-mo. overall survival (OS) from inclusion. Secondary outcomes included safety from randomization. Results From May 2022 to March 2024, 197 patients (68.0% male, 63.3y median age, 66% stage IVB, 70.6% adenocarcinoma), were accrued. 93 (47.2%) patients were randomized: to the continuation control arm (n=47) or the de-escalation arm (n=46). In Dec. 2025, the phase II analysis involved 84 first eligible patients (42 in each arm). Both arms were well balanced according to clinical and biological characteristics. Median follow-up was 27.9 months 95%CI [25.0 - 31.1]. At 18 months, 83.3%, 95%CI [72.1 - 94.6] were alive in the continuation arm vs. 88.1%, 95%CI [78.3 - 97.9] in the de-escalation arm. In the 93 randomized patients, grade 3-4 rates from randomization were 14.9% and 6.5%, while all-grade irAEs were 85.1% and 47.8%, in the continuation arms and the de-escalation arms, respectively. Conclusions In patients with 6-mo DC, similar rates of 18-mo OS were observed in both arms, while leading to lower frequency of irAEs in the de-escalation arm. Accrual in the trial phase 3 part is continuing.

[Slide 1] 2614O - Pembrolizumab with or without platinum-based chemotherapy as first-line treatment in advanced NSCLC with PD-L1 ≥50%: PERSEE phase 3 trial (GFPC 01-2020) Speakers Chantal Decroisette (Lyon, France, CEDEX) Lecture Time 10:25 - 10:35 Abstract Background Pembrolizumab (pembro) monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy are standard first-line options in advanced PD-L1 ≥50% NSCLC. We evaluated whether adding platinum-based chemotherapy improves outcomes versus pembro monotherapy. Methods This multicentre open-label phase 3 trial enrolled patients (pts) with untreated stage IV or not amenable to radiotherapy stage III PD-L1 ≥50% NSCLC, PS 0-1 and no EGFR/ALK alterations. Pts, stratified by histology and presence of brain metastases, were randomised (1:1) to pembro plus platinum-based chemotherapy (pembro-CT) (paclitaxel for squamous, pemetrexed for non-squamous histology) for four cycles followed by maintenance pembro + pemetrexed, or pembro alone. Primary endpoint was progression free survival (PFS) by blinded central review (BCR) per RECIST v1.1. Key secondary endpoints included investigators assessed PFS, overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), duration of response (DoR) and safety. The study was powered to test the superiority for PFS of pembro-CT over pembro (HR 0.70), with 80% power and a two-sided alpha of 5%. Results Between December 2020 and December 2023, 321 pts were randomised across 28 French centres. Median age was 64 years (59-69), 32.4% of pts were female, 2.2% were non-smokers, 23.4% had brain metastases, and 19.6% had squamous histology. At the cut-off date of 7 April 2026, the median follow-up was 38.7 (35.3-41.6) months. By BCR, pembro-CT significantly improved PFS compared with pembro: HR 0.56; 95% CI 0.43-0.74; p <0.001; median 16.1 (11.0-34.1) vs 6.9 (5.5-9.3) months. Median PFS by investigators was 13.7 (9.3-25.4) vs 6.9 (4.7-9.2) months (HR 0.60; 95% CI 0.46-0.78). Median OS was 50.2 (32.6-NR) vs 29.9 (23.4-47.9) months (HR 0.77; 95% CI 0.57-1.05), ORR 77.5% vs 50.3%, DoR 30 (13.1-NR) vs 15.6 (9.8-32.8) months (HR 0.86; 95% CI 0.59-1.24) for pembro-CT and pembro, respectively. Grade ≥ 3 TRAEs occurred in 53.8% and 19.3% of pts in the pembro-CT and pembro arms, respectively. Conclusions In first line treatment of advanced PD-L1 ≥50% NSCLC, PERSEE demonstrates a significant improvement of PFS with pembro-CT compared to pembro monotherapy and may help refine treatment selection.

Metastatic ESCC: Choosing the Treatment 📌 Based on the ESMO 2026 Clinical Practice Guideline • First line: chemotherapy + anti-PD-1 when the relevant drug-specific PD-L1 cut-off is met; platinum doublet chemotherapy below that threshold. • At progression: prior immunotherapy guides the next step—taxane/irinotecan after ICI; nivolumab/tislelizumab for eligible ICI-naïve patients after platinum chemotherapy. • Selected TPS ≥1% patients: nivolumab–ipilimumab is an alternative, with caution about early progression. 🔴 CPS ≠ TPS ≠ TAP. Match the score and cut-off to the drug. Toripalimab’s European approval is PD-L1-independent, although the guideline algorithm uses CPS ≥1. Take-home: The right biomarker interpretation—and prior treatment—determines the pathway. Ref: Al-Batran et al.

Global Phase III | 338 patients • Osimertinib + savolitinib vs • Platinum-pemetrexed August 2026 sponsor announcement: ✔ Statistically significant PFS improvement ✔ Statistically significant OS improvement ✔ Clinically meaningful benefit reported Important: Sponsor-reported topline results. Exact survival medians and HRs awaited. 04 - WHAT MUST ESMO REVEAL? Five questions that matter 1. How much longer is median PFS? 2. What is the PFS hazard ratio? 3. How large is the OS benefit? 4. What are the grade ≥3 toxicities? 5. Does benefit differ by MET IHC vs FISH status? Additional clinical question: Will dual EGFR/MET blockade become a preferred option after osimertinib progression? 05 - WATCH AT ESMO 2026 LBA6 | PRESIDENTIAL SYMPOSIUM II • 25 October 2026 • 16:30-18:15 CEST • Madrid, Spain • Presenter: Prof. Shun Lu • SAFFRON Phase III primary results.

[Slide 1] Rapid Oral session 789RO - TRIDENTE: A phase II study of rechallenge with encorafenib (ENCO), binimetinib (BINI), and cetuximab (CET) in BRAF V600E-mutant metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) Speakers Daisuke Kotani (Kashiwa, Japan) Lecture Time 14:55 - 15:00 Abstract Background The BEACON CRC and BREAKWATER trials established ENCO + CET-based therapy as a standard-of-care for BRAF V600-mutant mCRC. Based on the efficacy of BRAF/MEK inhibitor rechallenge in BRAF V600-mutant melanoma, TRIDENTE trial evaluated the clinical utility of rechallenge with ENCO + BINI + CET in patients with BRAF V600E mutant mCRC who previously responded and then progressed on ENCO + CET-based therapy. Methods TRIDENTE (jRCTs031210511) is a multicenter, single-arm, phase II study. Key eligibility criteria included: RAS WT/BRAF V600E-mutant mCRC; ECOG PS 0-1; refractory or intolerant to fluoropyrimidine-based regimens and anti-PD-1 therapy (if MSI-H); and history of prior ENCO + CET-based therapy with at least a partial response (PR) followed by disease progression. A ENCO-free interval of ≥ 4 months after the last ENCO dose was required. The primary endpoint was investigator-assessed objective response rate (ORR). With a threshold ORR of 3% and an expected ORR of 20%, 21 patients were required (one-sided alpha = 0.05, power 80%). In exploratory analysis using circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), resistance genomic alterations were defined as mutations in KRAS, NRAS, MAP2K1, EGFR or amplifications in MET, BRAF, KRAS. Results Between Jan 2022 and Apr 2025, 21 patients were enrolled across 12 institutions. Median age was 58 years; 17 patients (81%) had ECOG PS 0. The median number of prior lines was 3. Previous ENCO + CET-based regimens were ENCO + CET (62%) and ENCO + CET + BINI (38%). The primary endpoint was met; ORR was 19.0% (90%CI, 6.8-38.4%), including 4 PRs. Stable disease was observed in 12 patients, and tumor shrinkage occurred in 11 patients (52.4%). Median PFS and OS were 2.8 and 9.6 months, respectively. No unexpected adverse events were observed. Among 20 patients with baseline ctDNA results, the ORR was 25.0% (3/12) in those without genomic alterations versus 12.5% (1/8) in those with alterations. Conclusions Rechallenge with ENCO + BINI + CET demonstrated clinical activity and manageable safety profile in patients with BRAF V600E-mutant mCRC who were initially sensitive but subsequently progressed on ENCO + CET-based therapy.

Congrats to the SARON investigators! Important randomized data for a question we face all the time. 👏 Consolidation RT improved local control and PFS, but no OS benefit demonstrated: HR 0.99 (95% CI 0.63-1.55). The RT details caught my eye. Of 62 pts who received RT, 51 had conventional treatment to the primary and only 11 had primary SABR. About 53% of the full cohort had N2/3 disease. Side note: in the separate 13-pt ESTRO safety substudy, the most common schedules were 55 Gy/20 fx to the primary (10/13 pts) and 27 Gy/3 fx to thoracic mets (4/14 lesions). Those are substudy doses, not the dose distribution for the whole trial. Curious how pts who actually received SABR to all sites did. That would be exploratory, but I'd like to see the dose/volume details and patterns of failure before generalizing these results to patients receiving total consolidation. Looking forward to the full paper! #ESMO26 #radonc https://t.co/3AtnSapEMk

[Slide 1] 2719RO - FLAURA2: Analysis of on-treatment plasma EGFRm dynamics and associated clinical outcomes in patients (pts) with EGFRm advanced NSCLC treated with first-line (1L) osimertinib (osi) ± platinum–pemetrexed (plat–pem) Speakers David Planchard (Villejuif, France) Lecture Time 08:35 - 08:40 Abstract Background In the phase III FLAURA2 trial (NCT04035486), 1L osi + plat–pem led to significantly improved PFS and OS vs osi mono in pts with EGFRm advanced NSCLC. In our previous analysis, EGFRm clearance at Week (Wk) 3 and 6 was prognostic, but not predictive of a PFS benefit with osi + plat–pem vs osi mono. We report exploratory analyses of PFS and OS by plasma EGFRm clearance at Wks 1, 2, 3 and 6 to understand if EGFRm clearance rates differ between treatment arms, and to evaluate the use of early EGFRm circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) dynamics for identifying pts most likely to benefit from osi + plat–pem. Methods Pts with untreated EGFRm (Ex19del or L858R) advanced NSCLC were randomised 1:1 to receive either osi (80 mg QD) + plat–pem (Q3W; 4 cycles) followed by osi (QD) + pem (Q3W), or osi (QD) mono, until PD or discontinuation. BL and Wks 1, 2, 3 and 6 plasma EGFRm were analysed by ddPCR (Biodesix). Clearance was defined as undetected EGFRm ctDNA post-treatment start, where it was detected at BL. Association between clearance and PFS (by investigator assessment; DCO: 03 April 2023) and OS (DCO: 12 June 2025) was examined. Results Among pts with evaluable BL and Wk 1, 2, 3 and 6 plasma ddPCR results, the rate of clearance was 38%, 64%, 81%, and 88%, in the osi + plat–pem arm, respectively, and 42%, 64%, 71%, and 89%, in the osi mono arm, respectively. A consistent PFS and OS benefit was seen with osi + plat–pem vs osi mono, irrespective of clearance status (Table). Conclusions On-treatment EGFRm clearance was prognostic, but not predictive of PFS or OS benefit with osi + plat–pem at all timepoints; efficacy of osi + plat–pem was superior to osi mono regardless of clearance status. Clearance rates were comparable across treatment arms and timepoints. Studies using ultra-sensitive multi-marker ctDNA assays are planned to investigate early ctDNA dynamics as a predictive biomarker.

[Slide 1] Results Between December 2020 and December 2023, 321 pts were randomised across 28 French centres. Median age was 64 years (59-69), 32.4% of pts were female, 2.2% were non- smokers, 23.4% had brain metastases, and 19.6% had squamous histology. At the cut-off date of 7 April 2026, the median follow-up was 38.7 (35.3-41.6) months. By BCR, pembro-CT significantly improved PFS compared with pembro: HR 0.56; 95% CI 0.43-0.74; p <0.001; median 16.1 (11.0-34.1) vs 6.9 (5.5-9.3) months. Median PFS by investigators was 13.7 (9.3-25.4) vs 6.9 (4.7-9.2) months (HR 0.60; 95% CI 0.46- 0.78). Median OS was 50.2 (32.6-NR) vs 29.9 (23.4-47.9) months (HR 0.77; 95% CI 0.57- 1.05), ORR 77.5% vs 50.3%, DoR 30 (13.1-NR) vs 15.6 (9.8-32.8) months (HR 0.86; 95% CI 0.59-1.24) for pembro-CT and pembro, respectively. Grade ≥ 3 TRAEs occurred in 53.8% and 19.3% of pts in the pembro-CT and pembro arms, respectively.

EGFR inhibitor-associated secondary zinc deficiency is linked to increased risk of severe skin AEs. In the phase 2 COCOON study (NCT06120140), enhanced dermatologic management (DM; tetracycline for 12 wks, ceramide-based moisturizer, topical clindamycin, chlorhexidine) led to significantly reduced grade ≥2 dermatologic AEs of interest (DAEIs) by Wk 12 vs standard of care DM (42% vs 75%; P<0.0001) in pts receiving 1L intravenous (IV) ami + laz; scalp DAEIs were also meaningfully reduced (10% vs 26%; P=0.005). With COCOON DM, dose interruptions, reductions and discontinuations due to AEs were 55%, 27% and 12% (Cho JTO 2025). SC ami has shown shorter administration time (<5 min) and higher pt convenience vs IV (Leighl JCO 2024). Here are first results from a new COCOON cohort using an optimized DM regimen with zinc supplementation in pts receiving SC ami + laz. Methods 70 pts receiving SC ami on standard Q4W dosing + oral laz were enrolled. Pts also received optimized COCOON DM (oral tetracycline for 24 wks; ceramide-based moisturizer + oral zinc gluconate throughout the study; chlorhexidine for nails and clindamycin for scalp were omitted). Primary endpoint was incidence of grade ≥2 DAEIs by Wk 12. Results As of 24-Apr-26, 70 pts (median age, 63 y; 66% female) received ≥1 dose of SC ami + laz plus optimized COCOON DM (median follow-up, 3.8 mo). Among 65 pts with ≥12 wks of follow-up, overall incidence of grade ≥2 DAEIs by Wk 12 was 34%; 1 pt had grade 3 DAEIs; no grade 4–5 DAEIs were reported. Incidence of grade ≥2 DAEIs by Wk 12 was 5% for scalp and 18% for paronychia. Few pts had dose reductions (11%) or discontinuations (3%) due to AEs; 29% had interruptions. Updated results will be presented at the meeting. Conclusions These results suggest that SC ami + laz with an optimized COCOON DM regimen led to numerical reductions in grade ≥2 DAEIs vs IV ami + laz with standard COCOON DM. Few AE-related dose modifications/discontinuations were observed, supporting the benefit of proactive DM in pts receiving SC ami + laz.

[Slide 1] 2511O - Final analysis of adjuvant pembrolizumab (pembro) in resected early-stage non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC): Phase 3 PEARLS/KEYNOTE-091 study Speakers Mary E. O'Brien (London, United Kingdom) Lecture Time 15:43 - 15:53 Abstract Background At the second interim analysis (IA2) of PEARLS/KEYNOTE-091 of participants (pts) with resected, stage IB–IIIA NSCLC, adjuvant pembro improved DFS vs placebo in the ITT population (HR, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.63–0.91; P = 0.0014) and in the subgroup that received chemotherapy (chemo; HR, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.60–0.89). We report results, including OS, from the final analysis (FA) of PEARLS/KEYNOTE-091 (NCT02504372). Methods Eligible pts aged ≥18 y with completely resected, pathologically confirmed stage IB (T ≥4 cm), II, or IIIA NSCLC per AJCC v7 received ≤4 cycles of adjuvant chemo per local guidelines and were randomized 1:1 to 18 cycles (~1 y) of adjuvant pembro 200 mg or placebo Q3W. Primary endpoints were DFS per RECIST v1.1 by investigator assessment in the ITT and PD-L1 TPS ≥50% populations. Secondary endpoints included OS, lung cancer–specific survival (LCSS), and safety. Results 1177 pts were included in the ITT population (pembro, n = 590; placebo, n = 587). Median follow-up from randomization to data cutoff (Jan 21, 2026) was 87.7 (range, 68.6–120.1) mo. 6-y OS (95% CI) was 68.5% (64.5%–72.1%) for pembro and 66.4% (62.4%–70.1%) for placebo (HR, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.81–1.18; P = 0.41826) in the ITT population and 68.9% (64.6%–72.8%) and 65.4% (61.0%–69.4%), respectively, in pts who received chemo (HR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.74–1.12). DFS and LCSS results are in the table. Grade ≥3 AEs occurred in 197/580 pts (34.0%) with pembro and 149/581 (25.6%) with placebo. Grade ≥3 immune-mediated AEs and infusion reactions occurred in 46 (7.9%) and 11 pts (1.9%), respectively. Conclusions At the final analysis of PEARLS/KEYNOTE-091, adjuvant pembrolizumab continued to demonstrate a consistent DFS benefit versus placebo in resected early-stage NSCLC, with a favorable trend in LCSS. Safety remained manageable. While OS did not show a statistically significant improvement, it was a secondary endpoint and the study was not powered to detect an OS benefit.

[Slide 1] 3809O - Randomized trial of serplulimab or atezolizumab plus chemotherapy in USA patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ASTRIDE) Speakers David R. Gandara (Sacramento, United States of America) Lecture Time 14:55 - 15:05 Abstract Background Serplulimab (serplu), a programmed death 1 inhibitor, demonstrated significant survival benefits in the international, randomized phase 3 ASTRUM-005 study. ASTRIDE aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of serplu vs atezolizumab (atezo), in USA patients (pts) with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC), per FDA request. Methods Pts with histologically or cytologically confirmed ES-SCLC and ≤1 prior cycle of chemotherapy (chemo) for ES-SCLC were randomized 1:1 to receive up to 4 cycles of serplu (300 mg) or atezo, each in combination with carboplatin and etoposide, followed by maintenance serplu or atezo, respectively. Allowing 1 prior cycle of chemo reflected real-world practice. Treatments were administered intravenously every 3 weeks. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). As a bridging study, the statistical design was descriptive only. Results From July 2022 to October 2025, 201 USA pts were enrolled at 63 centers and randomized to the serplu (n=101) or atezo (n=100) group. As of February 18, 2026, median follow-up was 14.1 months (mo, 95% CI, 11.4–18.5). The proportion of pts with liver metastasis was higher in the serplu group (49.5% vs 40.0%). Other baseline characteristics were balanced. In the ITT, median OS was 12.4 mo with serplu and 10.2 mo with atezo; 24-mo OS rates were 32.2% and 17.6%, respectively. Detailed efficacy results are shown below (Table). Outcomes also appeared more favorable with serplu in pts without prior 1-cycle chemo (Table). The incidence and severity of adverse events were comparable between groups, with no new safety signals identified. Table: 3809O Summary of efficacy [columns: ITT — Serplulimab (n=101) | Atezolizumab (n=100) ; Without 1-cycle chemo — Serplulimab (n=82) | Atezolizumab (n=76)] IRRC assessed ORR, % | 64.4 | 67.0 | 68.3 | 64.5 IRRC assessed DOR, months | 4.2 | 4.0 | 4.4 | 4.1 IRRC assessed median PFS, months | 5.4 | 4.9 | 5.5 | 5.2 HR (95% CI) | 0.95 (0.67, 1.35) [ITT] | 0.97 (0.65, 1.45) [without 1-cycle chemo] Median OS, months | 12.4 | 10.2 | 13.4 | 10.8 HR (95% CI) | 0.82 (0.56, 1.20) [ITT] | 0.77 (0.50, 1.17) [without 1-cycle chemo] OS rate at 24 months, % | 32.2 | 17.6 | 34.8 | 17.2 Median OS in pts without liver metastasis, months | 18.9 | 13.2 | 18.9 | 13.2 HR (95% CI) | 0.60 (0.33, 1.09) [ITT] | 0.63 (0.33, 1.19) [without 1-cycle chemo] Median OS in pts with liver metastasis, months | 8.6 | 8.2 | 9.0 | 8.4 HR (95% CI) | 0.85 (0.51, 1.42) [ITT] | 0.77 (0.43, 1.37) [without 1-cycle chemo] Conclusions Serplu plus chemo compared favorably with the comparator in this bridging trial, showing numerically longer OS and higher 24-mo OS rates vs atezo plus chemo in USA pts with ES-SCLC. These results support the benefit of serplu and the applicability of ASTRUM-005 findings to the USA population.

[Slide 1] 3816RO - SKB500 (a novel B7-H3–targeted antibody-drug conjugate) in patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC): Results from a phase I study Speakers Haifeng Liu (Changchun, China) Lecture Time 10:20 - 10:25 Abstract Background SKB500 is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting B7 homolog 3 (B7-H3), an antigen overexpressed in many solid tumors, comprising an antibody conjugated to a topoisomerase I inhibitor payload via a cleavable pyrimidine-tripeptide linker. Here we present updated safety and antitumor activity of SKB500 in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) from the multicenter, open-label phase I study (NCT06736327). Methods In this phase I study, heavily pretreated patients (pts) with unresectable SCLC were enrolled in expansion cohorts and received SKB500 at 12 mg/kg or 16 mg/kg every three weeks (Q3W) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary efficacy endpoint was investigator-assessed objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST v1.1. Results As of April 20, 2026, 61 pts were treated and followed up for ≥6 weeks at 12 mg/kg (n=40) and 16 mg/kg (n=21), with a median follow-up of 4.6 months. All pts had received platinum-based therapy, with 85.2% having previously received PD-(L)1 inhibitor therapy. The ORR was 67.2% (70.0% for 12 mg/kg vs 61.9% for 16 mg/kg), with a median DoR of 5.8 months and a median PFS of 7.2 months (Table). Biomarker analysis indicated that B7-H3 expression showed no significant predictive value for treatment outcomes, while preliminary data suggested a correlation between SLFN11 levels and clinical activity. A lower frequency of Grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) was observed in the 12 mg/kg than in the 16 mg/kg cohort (Table). The most common Grade ≥3 TRAEs were white blood cell count decreased (12 mg/kg: 15.0% vs 16 mg/kg: 28.6%), lymphocyte count decreased (10.0% vs 28.6%), platelet count decreased (10.0% vs 9.5%), and anemia (7.5% vs 19.0%). Table: 3816RO | 12 mg/kg Q3W (N=40) | 16 mg/kg Q3W (N=21) ORR, % (95% CI) | 70.0 (53.5, 83.4) | 61.9 (38.4, 81.9) cORR, % (95% CI) | 55.0 (38.5, 70.7) | 47.6 (25.7, 70.2) DCR, % (95% CI) | 95.0 (83.1, 99.4) | 81.0 (58.1, 94.6) mDoR, mo (95% CI) | 5.8 (3.1, NE) | 5.8 (2.6, NE) mPFS, mo (95% CI) | 7.2 (4.3, NE) | 5.6 (3.9, NE) 6-mo PFS rate, % (95% CI) | 57.6 (34.6, 75.0) | 41.8 (14.9, 67.1) mOS, mo (95% CI) | NR (NE, NE) | NR (4.4, NE) 6-mo OS rate, % (95% CI) | 84.2 (65.3, 93.3) | 60.2 (26.8, 82.2) Grade ≥3 TRAEs, n (%) | 19 (47.5) | 13 (61.9) TRAEs leading to dose discontinuation, n (%) | 1 (2.5) | 0 DCR, disease control rate; DoR, duration of response; PFS, progression-free survival; OS, overall survival.

[Slide 1] 3808O - Tarlatamab in previously treated SCLC: Extended follow-up of overall survival from the phase 3 DeLLphi-304 trial Speakers Charles M. Rudin (New York, United States of America) Lecture Time 14:45 - 14:55 Abstract Background Tarlatamab, a DLL3-targeting bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE®) immunotherapy, demonstrated a 40% reduced risk of death and a favorable safety profile vs chemotherapy (CTx) in patients (pts) with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) after first-line (1L) platinum-based CTx. The initial publication was based on a median follow-up of only 11.2 months (mo). We now report long-term efficacy and safety data from DeLLphi-304. Methods Pts were randomized 1:1 to tarlatamab or CTx (topotecan, lurbinectedin or amrubicin). The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS); secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS), disease control (DC), duration of response (DOR), and safety. Results With extended follow-up (median 23 mo), tarlatamab continued to show lower risk of death vs CTx (HR 0.62; 95% CI, 0.51–0.76), with longer OS (median 13.6 vs 8.4 mo). The reduced mortality risk was maintained across high-risk subgroups, including pts with baseline platinum-resistant disease and those with brain metastases (Table). Tarlatamab showed consistent benefit in PFS vs CTx (HR 0.69; 95% CI, 0.57–0.84; median 4.2 vs 3.2 mo). OS at 18 mo was higher with tarlatamab (42% vs 24%), as was 12-mo PFS (21% vs 6%), indicating sustained benefit. DOR was longer with tarlatamab vs CTx (Table), with more ongoing responses at 12 mo (42% vs 10% of responders), and a higher proportion with sustained (≥ 52 week) DC (24% vs 4%). Grade ≥ 3 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs; 28% vs 63%) and discontinuations due to TRAEs (3% vs 7%) were less frequent with tarlatamab vs CTx. Tarlatamab showed long-term tolerability with TRAEs decreasing over time and no new safety signals. Table: 3808O Long-term Efficacy Outcomes | Tarlatamab n = 254 | CTx n = 255 OS Median, mo | 13.6 (11.9–15.8) | 8.4 (7.2–10.2) HR overall | 0.62 (0.51–0.76) HR (subgroup): platinum-resistant disease† | 0.65 (0.48–0.86) HR (subgroup): baseline brain metastases | 0.52 (0.38–0.70) 12-mo OS, % | 56 (50–62) | 39 (33–45) 18-mo OS, % | 42 (36–48) | 24 (19–29) PFS* Median, mo | 4.2 (3.0–4.4) | 3.2 (2.9–4.2) HR overall | 0.69 (0.57–0.84) 12-mo PFS, % | 21 (16–26) | 6 (3–10) DOR,* median, mo | 7.1 (4.5–12.4) | 5.5 (4.2–5.7) DC Rate,* % | 68 (62–74) | 64 (58–70) Sustained DC* (≥ 52 weeks), n (%) | 62 (24) | 11 (4) *Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 †Platinum-resistant: chemotherapy-free interval < 90 days Parentheses show 95% CI unless noted Conclusions With extended follow-up, tarlatamab demonstrated a durable survival benefit with a manageable safety profile vs CTx, with no new safety signals, reinforcing its role as the standard of care treatment in pts with SCLC after 1L platinum-based CTx, including those with high-risk disease.

[Slide 1] 4156RO - Ivonescimab plus chemotherapy as first-line treatment in recurrent/metastatic thymic carcinoma: Results from the iTHYM phase II study Speakers Xue Hou (Guangzhou, China) Lecture Time 11:07 - 11:12 Abstract Background Recurrent or metastatic thymic carcinoma is a rare and aggressive malignancy with limited prospective evidence for systemic treatment. Platinum-based chemotherapy remains a standard first-line option, but durable disease control remains suboptimal. This study aimed to evaluate ivonescimab, a PD-1/VEGF bispecific antibody, combined with chemotherapy as first-line treatment for this population. Methods iTHYM is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm phase II study of ivonescimab plus carboplatin and paclitaxel or nab-paclitaxel as first-line treatment for recurrent/metastatic thymic carcinoma, followed by ivonescimab maintenance until progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was 6-month progression-free survival rate (PFS6m); secondary endpoints included ORR, DCR, DoR, PFS, OS, and safety. Simon's two-stage design defined success as no more than 10 progression events at 6 months among 24 treated patients (NCT06750952). Results As of July 31, 2026, 24 patients were enrolled and treated. Among 24 evaluable for response, 20 achieved partial response and 4 had stable disease, yielding an ORR of 83.3% and a DCR of 100.0%. Nineteen patients were evaluable for the primary endpoint, and all 19 remained progression-free at 6 months. After a median follow-up of 10.2 months, four patients experienced progression at 7.0, 8.1, 10.8, and 18.2 months. Based on the pre-specified Simon decision rule, the study met its primary endpoint of PFS6m. Median PFS and OS were not reached. Safety was manageable and consisted mainly of chemotherapy-related hematologic toxicities; ivonescimab-related adverse events were mostly low-grade, including hemorrhage (oral hemorrhage and epistaxis) (9/24, 37.5%), rash/pruritus (8/24, 33.3%), and proteinuria (3/24, 12.5%). Grade 3 proteinuria occurred in 2/24 (8.3%); Grade 3 acute coronary syndrome occurred in 1/24 (4.2%), leading to permanent discontinuation of ivonescimab. Conclusions Ivonescimab plus taxanes and carboplatin showed encouraging antitumor activity and manageable safety as first-line treatment for recurrent/metastatic thymic carcinoma. The iTHYM study met its pre-specified primary endpoint of 6-month PFS rate. Longer follow-up is ongoing to define the final PFS6m estimate, durability of benefit, and long-term outcomes.

[Slide 1] 2519O - Association of biomarkers with efficacy in the phase 3 KEYNOTE-671 study of perioperative pembrolizumab (Pembro) plus neoadjuvant chemotherapy (Chemo) in early-stage non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) Speakers Marina C. Garassino (Chicago, United States of America) Lecture Time 15:33 - 15:43 Abstract Background In KEYNOTE-671, perioperative pembro plus neoadjuvant chemo improved EFS, OS, major pathological response (MPR), and pathological complete response (pCR) vs neoadjuvant chemo and surgery in resectable stage II–IIIB (N2) NSCLC. We report associations of 18-gene T-cell–inflamed gene expression profile (TcellinfGEP) and tumor mutational burden (TMB) with efficacy in KEYNOTE-671, and present EFS and OS by TcellinfGEP, TMB, and KRAS mutation status. Methods Participants (pts) in this post hoc analysis had an evaluable baseline tumor sample, which was used for RNA sequencing (RNAseq) to assess TcellinfGEP and whole exome sequencing (WES) for TMB and KRAS mutation status (also with matched-normal sample). Associations of TcellinfGEP and TMB with EFS and OS were analyzed by an adjusted Cox proportional hazards model and with MPR and pCR by a logistic regression model; 1-sided (pembro) and 2-sided (placebo) P values were calculated (prespecified α = 0.05). Analyses of EFS and OS in biomarker-based subgroups were performed. Results Of 797 pts, 387 had RNAseq data (pembro, n = 198; placebo, n = 189) and 459 had WES data (pembro, n = 230; placebo, n = 229). TcellinfGEP was positively associated with EFS (P = 0.021) and MPR (P = 0.019) for pembro, with OS for placebo (P = 0.002). TMB was positively associated with EFS (P = 0.000164) and OS (P = 0.005) for pembro and with MPR (pembro, P = 0.001; placebo, P = 0.014) and pCR (pembro, P = 0.000695; placebo, P = 0.044) for both arms. EFS and OS HRs were generally comparable across subgroups by TcellinfGEP, TMB, and KRAS mutation status (Table). Table: 2519O Associations of biomarkers with EFS and OS in the pembro vs placebo arm [columns: N | EFS^a HR (95% CI) | OS HR (95% CI)] TcellinfGEP low (<1st tertile) | 129 | 0.71 (0.46–1.11) | 0.59 (0.36–0.97) TcellinfGEP high (≥1st tertile) | 258 | 0.53 (0.38–0.75) | 0.82 (0.55–1.22) TMB low (<175 mutation/exome) | 266 | 0.63 (0.47–0.86) | 0.70 (0.49–1.01) TMB high (≥175 mutation/exome) | 193 | 0.49 (0.32–0.73) | 0.67 (0.40–1.12) KRAS mutation^b | 86 | 0.73 (0.42–1.28) | 0.88 (0.45–1.75) KRAS wild-type^b | 169 | 0.75 (0.50–1.12) | 0.85 (0.49–1.47) ^aPer RECIST version 1.1 by investigator. ^bMatched normal nonsquamous only. Conclusions Positive associations of baseline TcellinfGEP and TMB with efficacy were observed for both treatment arms. The benefits of perioperative pembro vs neoadjuvant chemo were observed regardless of TcellinfGEP, TMB, and KRAS mutation status, supporting its use for early-stage NSCLC.

[Slide 1] 2617RO - Phase I study of TIL therapy in combination with chemoimmunotherapy in ≥2nd line advanced NSCLC patients Speakers Laurie Steinbusch (Leiden, Netherlands) Lecture Time 08:57 - 09:02 Abstract Background Based on (pre)clinical studies Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TIL) treatment may be a potent therapeutic option in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However toxicities associated with preconditioning treatment is a limiting factor for elderly patients (pts) with comorbid conditions such as NSCLC pts. Our group has shown that carboplatin and paclitaxel is a less toxic option while preserving optimal conditions for the infused TIL. We assessed safety of TIL therapy preceded by chemotherapy with or without (w/wo) immunotherapy. Methods This is a single-arm, single-center, phase 1 study, evaluating TIL therapy in adult pts with advanced NSCLC with progressive disease on first-line treatment of (chemo)immunotherapy and at least one lesion suitable for resection or biopsy for TIL retrieval. Pts received 3 cycles of IV Carboplatin AUC 5 plus Paclitaxel 175mg/m2 (cohort 1) and pembrolizumab every 3 weeks 100-200mg based on weight (cohort 2). On day 7 after the second and after the third course of chemotherapy patients received 2,5-10 x 10^8 TIL as an IV infusion. The primary endpoint was safety of TIL therapy. Anti-tumor activity and feasibility of study procedure were key secondary objectives. Results Between Dec 20, 2023 and Nov 26, 2025, 13 pts were included (median age 68 years [IQR 61- 71]). Treatment-related grade 3 or 4 adverse events included anemia, thrombocytopenia (both in 2 patients [15%]), febrile neutropenia and nausea (both in 1 patient [8%]), all chemotherapy related. Immunotherapy related toxicity hepatitis grade 3 and renal tubular acidosis grade 1 occurred in 1 pt. No toxicity of the TIL infusion and no grade 5 toxicity was observed. At data cutoff (May 12, 2026), 3 of 13 patients (23%) had an objective response per RECIST v1.1 and a disease control rate of 69%. Median progression free survival is 3.4 months (IQR 2.1-6.2) and overall survival 8 months (IQR 4.1-19.7). In 85% (17/20 patients, 11 biopsies, 6 resections) TIL product was successfully produced. Conclusions This phase 1 study of TIL therapy preceded by Carboplatin and Paclitaxel w/wo Pembrolizumab in patients with NSCLC in ≥2nd line demonstrated manageable safety and encouraging anti-tumor activity and supports further investigation of this combination.

[Slide 1] Professional Reviewed Abstracts | AMCP Nexus 2026 | October 26-29 S71 [phone overlay: 73 de 128] [Left column — end of preceding, unrelated abstract on BCG-unresponsive HR-NMIBC:] 10/31/2024). Patients with HR-NMIBC with CIS (as of the HR-NMIBC diagnosis date) were assessed for BCG discontinuation (last instillation before a gap of >180 days, following adequate induction [≥5 instillations in 70 days] and maintenance [≥2 instillations in 180 days]). BCG-unresponsive was defined as receiving subsequent guideline-recommended treatment (index date) within 365 days of BCG discontinuation. EFS (i.e., time without disease recurrence or progression) was defined based on codes for transurethral resection of bladder tumor, biopsy, systemic chemotherapy, non-index intravesical therapy, radiotherapy, radical cystectomy, pembrolizumab, diagnosis of muscle-invasive or metastatic bladder cancer, or death. EFS was described using Kaplan-Meier analyses among patients with bladder-sparing therapy after BCG discontinuation. RESULTS: Overall, there were 130 patients with BCG-unresponsive HR-NMIBC with CIS ± PAP (mean age: 70 years; 77% male; 78% White). Among 108 patients initiating bladder-sparing therapies as next treatment, gemcitabine (52%), mitomycin (16%), pembrolizumab (15%), gemcitabine/docetaxel (14%), nadofaragene firadenovec-vncg (2%), docetaxel (1%), and doxorubicin (1%) were used. Among these patients, median EFS was 5.9 months (95% CI: 4.7, 12.1). The proportion of patients with recurrence, progression, or death was 28% at 3 months, 50% at 6 months, 59% at 12 months, 69% at 24 months and 74% at 36 months. CONCLUSIONS: Treatment choice varied among patients with BCG-unresponsive HR-NMIBC with CIS. Despite radical cystectomy being recommended for BCG-unresponsive patients, most received bladder-sparing therapy, with 50% having disease recurrence, progression, or death within 6 months. These findings highlight a significant unmet need for more effective bladder-sparing therapies among BCG-unresponsive patients with HR-NMIBC with CIS ± PAP.

Among patients (pts) with ES-SCLC, rates of complications that drive health care resource utilization (HCRU) are high. The phase 3 IMforte (NCT05091567) trial demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in progression-free and overall survival with lurbinectedin + atezolizumab (L+A) vs atezolizumab alone (A) for first-line maintenance treatment (1Lm) of ES-SCLC. OBJECTIVE: To describe hospitalizations and HCRU from IMforte pts receiving 1Lm with L+A vs A. METHODS: Eligible pts with ES-SCLC who were progression free after induction with atezolizumab, carboplatin, and etoposide were randomized 1:1 to receive 1Lm L+A or A every 3 weeks. Details of all-cause and treatment-related inpatient hospitalizations and supportive care during 1Lm were summarized descriptively. RESULTS: As of February 12, 2025, the median treatment duration was 4.4 (L)/4.8 (A) and 2.1 months in the L+A and A arms. One or more treatment-related hospitalizations occurred in 25/242 (10%) pts in the L+A arm and 6/240 (3%) pts in the A arm. The median (quartile 1 [Q1]–Q3) number and total length of treatment-related hospitalizations were 1 (1–1) admission and 7 (4–14) days in the L+A arm and 1 (1–1) admission and 7 (2–13) days in the A arm, respectively. Regardless of relationship to study drug, 60/242 (25%) and 34/240 (14%) pts had an all-cause hospitalization in the L+A and A arms, respectively. The median (Q1–Q3) number and total length of all-cause hospitalizations were 1 (1–2) admission and 7 (5–14) days in the L+A arm and 1 (1–1) admission and 9 (4–17) days in the A arm, respectively. The most common preferred term used among all-cause hospitalizations was pneumonia (L+A, n=5 [2%]; A, n=6 [3%]). Most pts (215/242 [89%]) in the L+A arm used granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, compared to 28/240 (12%) in the A arm. CONCLUSIONS: Consistent with the extended treatment duration, L+A appeared to be associated with a higher incidence of hospitalization than A. Nonetheless, the frequency remained low: 90% of all pts in the L+A arm did not experience a treatment-related hospitalization. Among pts who were hospitalized, the number of visits and lengths of stay were similar Vol. 33, No. 10-d | October 2026 | JMCP.org S72 Professional Reviewed Abstracts | AMCP Nexus 2026 | October 26-29 between treatment arms, suggesting L+A did not increase inpatient burden on a per-event basis.

[Slide 1] 2616RO - A phase 2 study of CS2009, a first-in-class PD-1/VEGF/CTLA-4 trispecific antibody, in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) Speakers Anwen Xiong (Shanghai, China) Lecture Time 08:35 - 08:40 Abstract Background CS2009 is a novel PD-1/VEGF/CTLA-4 trispecific antibody. Preclinical and clinical studies demonstrated promising anti-tumor activity in solid tumors. Here, we report the safety and efficacy data from a phase 2 study of CS2009 in advanced NSCLC. Methods Patients (pts) with advanced NSCLC were enrolled across different lines of therapy. In the first-line (1L) setting, pts without actionable genomic alterations received either CS2009 monotherapy (mono) or CS2009 + chemotherapy (chemo) (pemetrexed + carboplatin for non-squamous [NSQ] pts; paclitaxel + carboplatin for squamous [SQ] pts.) In the second- or third-line (2/3L) setting, pts who had received prior platinum-based chemo and anti-PD-(L)1 therapy were treated with CS2009 + docetaxel. CS2009 was dosed at 20 or 30 mg/kg Q3W. The primary endpoint was investigator-assessed ORR per RECIST v1.1. Results As of April 19, 2026, 86 pts were treated (median age 65.6 [range 38-82]; 77.9% male; 82.6% with ECOG PS 1; 40.7% NSQ; 76.7% PD-L1 TPS≥1%). In pts receiving CS2009 mono (n=46), any-grade and grade ≥3 TRAEs occurred in 67.4% and 6.5% of pts, respectively. The most common TRAEs were AST increased (17.4%), ALT increased (15.2%), hyperthyroidism (13.0%) and rash (13.0%); all grade ≥3 TRAEs were single-case events. In pts receiving CS2009 + chemo (n=40), any-grade and grade ≥3 TRAEs occurred in 65.0% and 30.0% of pts, respectively. The most common TRAEs were neutrophil count decreased (35.0%), WBC count decreased (30.0%) and anaemia (30.0%). CS2009 did not appear to increase chemo-associated toxicity. No unexpected safety signals were observed. In preliminary efficacy assessment among evaluable pts, ORR/DCR in 1L mono (PD-L1 TPS ≥50%) and 1L SQ combination (PD-L1 TPS <50%) cohorts were 81.3%/100% (n=16) and 75.0%/100% (n=8), respectively. Encouraging responses have been observed in other cohorts. Updated data from the 1L mono (n ~ 60, PD-L1 TPS ≥1%) and combination (n ~ 60, SQ & NSQ) cohorts will be presented at the congress. Conclusions CS2009 mono and CS2009 + chemo were both well tolerated and demonstrated promising anti-tumor activity in NSCLC. Phase 3 studies of CS2009 + chemo in advanced NSCLC are planned.

[Slide 1] 2618RO - Analysis of the phase 2 part of IFCT-2103 DIAL phase 2-3 randomized trial, comparing continuation pembrolizumab (± pemetrexed) up to 2 years versus observation (± pemetrexed), in patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC) with disease control (DC) at 6 months Speakers Anne Claire Toffart (La Tronche, France) Lecture Time 09:14 - 09:19 Abstract Background Optimal duration of 1L immunotherapy (io) in mNSCLC patients. with DC remains debatable. We aimed to study de-escalation by stopping pembrolizumab in patients with 6-months DC after chemo-io induction, as compared to 24 months. Methods This randomized open-label trial included treatment-naïve 18-75 yrs. mNSCLC patients (pts), ECOG PS 0-1, w/o actionable tumor molecular alteration, stratified according to PS, histology (SCC. vs. non-SCC), PD-L1 tumor level, sex and quality of response (stable vs. objective response). They received 4 cycles of 1L platinum-based chemo doublet+pembro, either paclitaxel-carboplatin, followed by maintenance pembro, for SCC patients or pemetrexed-platinum, followed by pembro + pemetrexed continuation for non-SCC patients. At 6 months, patients with DC were randomized 1:1 either to pembrolizumab (± pemetrexed in non-SCC patients) continuation until 2 years, or to observation (± pemetrexed). Primary outcome was 18-mo. overall survival (OS) from inclusion. Secondary outcomes included safety from randomization. Results From May 2022 to March 2024, 197 patients (68.0% male, 63.3y median age, 66% stage IVB, 70.6% adenocarcinoma), were accrued. 93 (47.2%) patients were randomized: to the continuation control arm (n=47) or the de-escalation arm (n=46). In Dec. 2025, the phase II analysis involved 84 first eligible patients (42 in each arm). Both arms were well balanced according to clinical and biological characteristics. Median follow-up was 27.9 months 95%CI [25.0 - 31.1]. At 18 months, 83.3%, 95%CI [72.1 - 94.6] were alive in the continuation arm vs. 88.1%, 95%CI [78.3 - 97.9] in the de-escalation arm. In the 93 randomized patients, grade 3-4 rates from randomization were 14.9% and 6.5%, while all-grade irAEs were 85.1% and 47.8%, in the continuation arms and the de-escalation arms, respectively. Conclusions In patients with 6-mo DC, similar rates of 18-mo OS were observed in both arms, while leading to lower frequency of irAEs in the de-escalation arm. Accrual in the trial phase 3 part is continuing.

[Slide 1] 2615O - Dalmelitinib plus aumolertinib versus platinum-based chemotherapy in advanced NSCLC patients with MET amplification post EGFR TKI: A randomized, phase 3 study Speakers Ziming Li (Shanghai, China) Lecture Time 08:40 - 08:50 Abstract Background MET amplification (MET-amp) is a key resistance mechanism to EGFR TKIs. Dalmelitinib (HS-10241), a novel oral MET TKI, demonstrated promising efficacy when combined with Aumolertinib in MET-amplified advanced NSCLC post EGFR TKIs in a phase 1b study (NCT05430386). Here, we reported the phase 3 results of this combination. Methods This randomized, open-label, multicenter, phase 3 study (NCT06110663) enrolled advanced NSCLC patients (pts) with EGFR mutation-positive and MET-amp (GCN ≥5 or MET/CEP7 ≥2) post EGFR TKIs. Eligible pts were randomized 1:1 to receive either Dalmelitinib plus Aumolertinib (TKI-combo) or platinum-based chemotherapy (Chemo). The primary endpoint was PFS assessed by IRC and analyzed in all randomized pts. Results As of Dec 10, 2025, 314 pts were randomized (156/158 in TKI-combo/Chemo group). Baseline characteristics between two groups were balanced, with 296 pts (94.3%) having received prior 3rd-generation EGFR TKI. Primary analysis demonstrated superior efficacy of TKI-combo over chemo with significant improvement in PFS (mPFS-IRC 6.2 vs. 4.4 months, HR 0.601, P<0.001; mPFS-Investigator 6.9 vs. 4.6 months), and clinical benefit was observed across all efficacy endpoints (Table), including a trend toward survival benefit based on preliminary OS results. No obvious difference was observed in overall severity (grade ≥3: 50.0% vs. 51.0%) of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) between two groups with different safety profiles. In TKI-combo group, most TEAEs were low grade, reversible and manageable without new safety signal; most common grade ≥3 TEAEs were liver enzyme elevations. Table: 2615O Efficacy accessed by IRC [columns: TKI-combo group (N=156) | Chemo group (N=158)] Primary endpoint mPFS, months (95% CI) | 6.2 (5.6, 9.7) | 4.4 (4.2, 5.5) HR (95% CI) | 0.601 (0.448, 0.805) Secondary endpoints ORR, % (95% CI) | 59.6 (51.5, 67.4) | 38.6 (31.0, 46.7) mDoR, months (95% CI) | 9.7 (7.0, 14.0) | 4.4 (3.0, 8.4) DCR, % (95% CI) | 84.6 (78.0, 89.9) | 74.1 (66.5, 80.7) mOS&, months (95% CI) | NR (17.5, NE) | 19.6 (14.6, NE) HR (95% CI) | 0.840 (0.524, 1.346) &46.8% pts in Chemo group were crossed over to TKI-combo. HR, hazard rate; IRC, independent review committee; m, median; NE, not estimable; NR, not reached. Conclusions Dalmelitinib plus Aumolertinib showed superior clinical benefit in advanced NSCLC pts with EGFR mutation-positive and MET-amp (GCN ≥5), majority of whom failed 3rd-generation EGFR TKIs. This suggested a new treatment option for this population.

[Slide 1] 2574RO - Neoadjuvant toripalimab plus chemotherapy with or without tifcemalimab (anti-BTLA antibody) in potentially resectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer (LungMate-014): A randomized, phase II trial Speakers Peng Zhang (Shanghai, China) Lecture Time 10:45 - 10:50 Abstract Background Perioperative toripalimab plus chemotherapy has improved outcomes in resectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and tifcemalimab combined with toripalimab has shown promising activity in advanced disease. Here, we first evaluated the addition of tifcemalimab to neoadjuvant toripalimab plus chemotherapy in patients with potentially resectable stage III NSCLC. Methods In this open-label, single-center, phase II trial, patients with potentially resectable disease were randomized 1:1 to receive toripalimab plus chemotherapy with tifcemalimab (TCT) or without tifcemalimab (TC) for 4 cycles. Surgical resectability was reassessed by multidisciplinary discussion. The primary endpoint was pathological complete response (pCR). Secondary endpoints included major pathological response (MPR), objective response rate (ORR), R0 resection, safety, event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS). Results As of August 29, 2024, 118 patients were randomized in two arms. Patient characteristics were well balanced between the arms. pCR rates were 32.2% vs. 25.4% in the TCT and TC arms, respectively. Subgroup analyses showed higher pCR rates in patients with non-squamous histology (31.6% vs. 15.0%) and those with PD-L1 TPS <1% (35.7% vs. 25.9%). Surgery was performed in 67.8% and 59.3% of patients in the TCT and TC arms, with all achieving R0 resection. Grade ≥3 TRAEs occurred in 77.6% and 75.4% of patients, with no new safety signals. At a median follow-up of 26.6 months, 24-month EFS rates were 71.1% vs. 66.0%, and 24-month OS rates were 83.0% vs. 76.1% in the TCT and TC arms. Subgroup analyses suggested a trend toward improved survival in patients with non-squamous histology (24-month OS: 89.5% vs. 79.4%) and those with PD-L1 TPS <1% (24-month OS: 88.1% vs. 69.6%). Conclusions The addition of tifcemalimab to neoadjuvant toripalimab plus chemotherapy showed encouraging efficacy and manageable safety in potentially resectable stage III NSCLC. Notably, this strategy revealed enhanced benefit in patients with non-squamous histology and those with PD-L1 TPS <1%, supporting further evaluation in larger randomized trials.

[Slide 1] 2613O - Primary results of SARON: A randomised-controlled trial of consolidation radiotherapy for synchronous oligometastatic non-small cell lung cancer Speakers Fiona McDonald (London, United Kingdom) Lecture Time 10:15 - 10:25 Abstract Background Standard first-line systemic anti-cancer therapy (SACT) for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) without actionable genomic alteration (AGA-negative) is chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy. We investigated whether patients with synchronous oligometastatic (OM) AGA-negative NSCLC benefit from the addition of consolidation radiotherapy (RT). Methods SARON, a multicentre phase II trial, randomised (1:1) patients with NSCLC, 1–5 metastases in ≤3 organs, to SACT with or without radical RT. The control arm changed to include immunotherapy in January 2020. The experimental arm received radical RT to the lung primary ± locoregional lymph nodes, and stereotactic ablative RT (SABR) to OM sites. Stratification included SACT, histology, N-stage, number of metastases, brain metastases and recruiting site. Primary and major secondary endpoints were overall (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Results 140 patients were randomised across 22 UK centres (October 2016 to July 2023). Median age was 68 years (range 45–85), 59.3% male, 58.6% adenocarcinoma, 52.9% N-stage 2/3, 62.9% 1x OM site (23.6% 2x, 9.3% 3x, 3.6% 4x, 0.7% 5x OM sites), and 6.4% brain metastases. SACT was 40.0% chemotherapy, 15.0% immunotherapy and 45.0% combination. Median SACT cycles received in both arms was 4, and 62/70 (88.6%) received RT (51 conventional and 11 SABR to primary, 54 SABR to ≥1 OM site). After 37.4 months median follow-up, median OS was 31.0 versus 28.0 months (HR=0.99, 95%CI 0.63–1.55, p=0.95) and median PFS 13.9 versus 8.9 months (HR=0.64, 95%CI 0.43–0.95, p=0.03) in the SACT+RT and SACT arms, respectively. The cumulative incidence of local failure within 12 months was 13.0% versus 39.5% (p<0.01), compared to 36.2% versus 32.3% (p=0.28) for new distant metastasis, respectively. The grade ≥3 adverse event rate was 28.6% in both arms; 6 patients had a grade 3 event possibly related to RT. EORTC QLQ-C30 and LC13 quality of life measures were similar in both arms. Conclusions Patients with synchronous OM AGA-negative NSCLC receiving first-line SACT+RT achieved better local disease control and longer PFS than SACT alone with acceptable side-effects, however, this did not translate into survival benefit.

MV Onco 01 WHY PERSEE? Advanced NSCLC | PD-L1 ≥50% Two established first-line options: • Pembrolizumab alone • Pembrolizumab + platinum chemotherapy THE BIG QUESTION Does adding chemotherapy improve outcomes enough to justify its toxicity? No previous definitive head-to-head phase III comparison in this population. 02 TRIAL DESIGN PERSEE (GFPC 01-2020) Phase III | Randomized | Open-label • 321 patients | 28 French centres • Randomization 1:1 • Median follow-up: 38.7 months Primary endpoint: PFS by blinded central review Secondary endpoints: OS, ORR, DoR and safety. 03 WHO WERE THE PATIENTS?

[Slide 1] 4158RO - Clinicopathological and transcriptomic characteristics of mesotheliomas with MTAP loss: From the NETMESO MESOPATH and RENAPE networks' experience in 1433 pleural and peritoneal mesothelioma Speakers Sylvie Lantuejoul (Lyon, France) Lecture Time 11:12 - 11:17 Abstract Background The loss of 5 methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) is a CDKN2A/B homozygous deletion (HD) surrogate marker in mesothelioma. It has been suggested as a predictive biomarker for PRMT5/MAT2A inhibitors, and as a poor prognostic factor in small series of mesothelioma. We describe here the clinicopathological and transcriptomic characteristics of mesotheliomas with MTAP loss in the largest real-world cohort. Methods A total of 1433 mesotheliomas, including 1232 pleural (PM), 201 peritoneal (PeM) mesothelioma and 41 fibroses, were retrieved from the MESOBANK database between 2024 and 2026. All diagnoses were certified by NETMESO-MESOPATH and RENAPE pathologists. MTAP immunohistochemistry was carried out with the RBT-MTAP mAb (BioSB) for all cases, and CDKN2A FISH for 99 cases. Exome RNA sequencing was performed for 203 cases, including 104 with MTAP loss and 99 with MTAP retained. Results MTAP cytoplasmic and nuclear staining was lost in 48% PM and 16% of PeM cases, and in 42% Epithelioid (E-PM), 70% Biphasic (B-PM), and 73% Sarcomatoid (S-PM) subtypes (p<0,0001). Nearly 10% of the cases showed heterogeneous MTAP expression. Concordance between MTAP IHC and CDKN2A/B FISH was 80%. In multivariable analyses, MTAP loss was more frequent in males (p=0,001) and older patients (p<0,001). There was no correlation with asbestose exposure, grade or pattern in EM, nor with BAP1 or NF2 alterations. There was no correlation either with survival, except for S-PM with MTAP loss with a better ovserall survival (p=0,0001). Mesothelioma with MTAP under-expressed exhibited low CDKN2A/B, innate and adaptative immunity and fibroblast differentiation gene expressions, and SATB2, WNT and TGFbeta pathways' overexpression. Conclusions MTAP IHC is an easy interpretable and reliable marker with a concordance of 80% with CDKN2A/B HD. MTAP loss predominates in the pleural M, and in BM and SM subtypes. It does not correlate with survival, except in S-PM where MTAP loss is associated with a better survival.

[Slide 1] ESMO 2026 BARCELONA | 24 – 28 OCTOBER 2026 SAFFRON TRIAL Osimertinib + Savolitinib after Osimertinib Resistance in EGFR-mutant Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer A TARGETED SOLUTION FOR MET-MEDIATED RESISTANCE 1. BACKGROUND & RATIONALE • Osimertinib is standard first-line therapy for EGFR-mutant NSCLC, but most patients ultimately develop resistance. • MET amplification or overexpression is a common mechanism of acquired resistance (≈ 10–20%). • Dual inhibition of EGFR and MET may overcome this resistance. Initial response to osimertinib EGFR mutation (eg. exon 19 del, L858R) EGFR Osimertinib Tumour cell survival inhibited Acquired resistance: MET activation EGFR MET amplification or overexpression MET Osimertinib MET signalling bypasses EGFR inhibition Tumour cell proliferation and survival Dual targeting strategy Osimertinib (EGFR TKI) + Savolitinib (MET inhibitor) EGFR MET Dual blockade suppresses tumour growth MET alterations in osimertinib resistance [pie chart] MET [illegible] 10–15% Other mechanisms 60–70% MET amplification 5–10% MET-driven resistance occurs in ~10-20% of patients progressing on osimertinib 2. TRIAL DESIGN Trial name: SAFFRON Phase: Phase III Registry: NCT05261399 Design: Randomised, open-label, multicentre, global Population: Locally advanced or metastatic EGFR-mutant NSCLC progressing on osimertinib with MET amplification or overexpression Sample size: ~345 patients Primary endpoints: Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) Key secondary endpoints: Objective response rate (ORR), safety, duration of response 3. PATIENT ELIGIBILITY (KEY CRITERIA) Inclusion criteria (example) • EGFR-mutant NSCLC (eg. exon 19 del, L858R) • Radiological progression on osimertinib • Evidence of MET overexpression and/or MET amplification (as per trial assay) • Measurable disease (RECIST 1.1) • Adequate organ function • ECOG 0–1 (typical) Key exclusion criteria (example) • Concurrent targetable alterations requiring alternative therapy • Prior MET inhibitor therapy • Symptomatic or uncontrolled CNS metastases • Significant comorbidities 4. TREATMENT ARMS A. Osimertinib + Savolitinib Osimertinib 80 mg once daily (standard dose) + Savolitinib 300 mg once daily (typical dose used in trial) B. Platinum-based chemotherapy (Investigator's choice) Platinum + pemetrexed (± maintenance pemetrexed) or other platinum doublet as per protocol 5. ENDPOINTS Primary endpoints • Progression-free survival (PFS) • Overall survival (OS) Secondary endpoints • Objective response rate (ORR) • Duration of response • Disease control rate (DCR) • Safety and tolerability • Quality of life (may be included) 6. KEY RESULTS The SAFFRON trial has been reported to meet its primary endpoints of PFS and OS compared with platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with MET-altered EGFR-mutant NSCLC after osimertinib progression. Detailed numerical results (median PFS, median OS, hazard ratios, confidence intervals, subgroup analyses and toxicity) will be presented at ESMO 2026. 7. SAFETY PROFILE (EXPECTED) Common adverse events with savolitinib (in addition to osimertinib toxicities) • Peripheral oedema • Nausea, diarrhoea • Increased creatinine • Proteinuria • Fatigue • Anemia Known osimertinib adverse events • Rash • Diarrhoea • QT prolongation • Interstitial lung disease (rare) 8. POTENTIAL ADVANTAGES • Targets a defined resistance mechanism (MET-driven) • Oral targeted combination • May delay need for chemotherapy • Maintains EGFR inhibition • Potential for better PFS and OS compared to chemotherapy (as reported) 9. KEY QUESTIONS • Magnitude of PFS and OS benefit • Which MET alterations derive the most benefit (amplification vs overexpression) • Assay used for MET detection and positivity threshold • Intracranial efficacy • Toxicity profile and dose modifications • Sequencing with other targeted options • Applicability to Indian and global patient populations 10. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS • Potential to establish a biomarker-directed treatment option after osimertinib in MET-altered EGFR-mutant NSCLC. • Should be used only in patients with confirmed MET amplification or overexpression as per trial criteria. • May change the treatment algorithm if a clinically meaningful OS benefit is confirmed. • Final adoption will depend on full data, regulatory approval, availabilty and local guidelines. Take Home Message: SAFFRON represents a promising targeted strategy to address MET-mediated resistance after osimertinib in EGFR-mutant NSCLC.

[Slide 1] 2636RO - Characterizing resistance mechanisms and predictors of early progression and long-term response to lorlatinib: Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analyses from the CROWN study Speakers Ben J. Solomon (Melbourne, Australia) Lecture Time 09:05 - 09:10 Abstract Background In the phase 3 CROWN study (NCT03052608), lorlatinib showed unprecedented progression-free survival (PFS) benefit in patients (pts) with previously untreated advanced ALK+ NSCLC, with median PFS not reached after 7 y of follow-up. Despite durable outcomes, a minority of pts (≈20%) experienced disease progression or death within 1 y of treatment. We analyzed ctDNA from pts in CROWN to identify potential resistance mechanisms and predictors of early progression and long-term response to lorlatinib. Methods 296 pts were randomized 1:1 to lorlatinib 100 mg QD or crizotinib 250 mg BID. In the lorlatinib arm (n=149), blood samples collected at baseline (BL; n=120) and end of treatment from pts with progression (EOT; n=18) were used for ctDNA analyses (Guardant Infinity). Early progressors (EPs) are pts with PFS events at ≤1 y; long-term responders (LTRs) are pts without PFS events at 7 y. Analyses included characterization of resistance mechanisms at EOT; comparisons of BL genomic alterations in EPs and LTRs, and between pts with and without intracranial (IC) progression; and efficacy analyses by longitudinal assessment of methylation-based tumor fraction (TF). Results Analyses of paired BL and EOT ctDNA samples (n=17) revealed no new ALK resistance mutations and showed that bypass (RTK/RAS/MAPK) and other cancer-related pathways, eg, inflammatory response and angiogenesis pathway, may lead to resistance to lorlatinib. BL ctDNA analyses showed more genomic alterations in EPs than LTRs (median 10 vs 6). FGFR4, DICER1, and ARAF genomic alterations were more frequent in pts with vs without IC progression (25-38% vs ≤3%). BL TF level was prognostic for PFS. On-treatment decrease in TF at wk 4 and wk 24 was associated with longer PFS. Additional pathway analyses in EPs will be presented. Conclusions ctDNA analyses from CROWN suggest lorlatinib resistance is primarily mediated through bypass pathway and other potential tumorigenic inflammatory and angiogenic mechanisms rather than on-target ALK mutations. BL genomic complexity and on-treatment changes in methylation-based TF may help identify pts at risk of early progression.

[Slide 1] 2652RO - First-line (1L) olomorasib + chemoimmunotherapy (chemo-IO) in KRAS G12C-mutant NSCLC: Updated results from the LOXO-RAS-20001 and SUNRAY-01 trials Speakers Marcelo V. Negrao (Houston, United States of America, SP) Lecture Time 09:19 - 09:24 Abstract Background Olomorasib, a potent, selective next-generation KRAS G12C inhibitor with CNS activity, has demonstrated promising efficacy and durability in patients (pts) with advanced KRAS G12C-mutant NSCLC in combination with chemo-IO, the current 1L standard of care (SOC) for pts with NSCLC and PD-L1 expression 0-100%. Here, with an additional 9 mo of follow-up, we report updated results in 1L pts from LOXO-RAS-20001 and the SUNRAY-01 safety lead-in. Methods Pts with advanced KRAS G12C-mutant NSCLC, PD-L1 0-100%, and ECOG PS 0-1 received olomorasib 50 or 100 mg orally BID with pembrolizumab + chemotherapy (per label). Pts who received one cycle of SOC prior to enrollment were eligible. Safety was the primary endpoint. Key secondary endpoints were ORR per RECIST v1.1, DOR, and PFS. Results As of 5 March 2026, 77 pts received olomorasib + chemo-IO; 25 pts (32%) received 1 prior cycle of SOC; PD-L1 expression: 34% were <1%, 40% were 1-49%, and 23% were ≥50%, (3% unknown). Median follow-up was 18.7 mo (IQR, 16.8-20.3). ORR was 61% (47/77), with a median DOR of 14.5 mo and median PFS of 11.8 mo (Table). Efficacy by PD-L1 expression is shown in the Table. No new safety signals were identified. Any grade TRAEs (≥20% of pts) were nausea (44%), anemia (39%), fatigue (39%), diarrhea (32%), and AST/ALT increased (31%/27%). The most common grade ≥3 TRAEs were anemia (16%), neutrophil count decreased (12%), and ALT/AST increased (12%/10%). TRAEs were manageable with supportive care, dose adjustments, and/or corticosteroids. TRAEs led to olomorasib dose reduction in 21% of pts; and discontinuation of all study treatment in 8% of pts.

[Slide 1] 2658RO - Overall survival (OS) analysis of telisotuzumab adizutecan in patients (pts) with nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSQ NSCLC): Phase 1 first-in-human study Speakers David Sommerhalder (San Antonio, United States of America) Lecture Time 09:27 - 09:32 Abstract Background c-Met (or MET) protein is highly expressed in NSCLC and has a poor prognosis. Telisotuzumab adizutecan (ABBV-400; Temab-A) is an antibody drug conjugate (ADC) consisting of an anti c-Met antibody conjugated to a Top1i payload. In an ongoing phase 1 study (NCT05029882), Temab-A showed promising efficacy and manageable safety in pts with NSQ NSCLC. Herein, we present OS for pts with NSQ NSCLC. Methods Enrolled pts with advanced EGFR wildtype (WT) or mutant (MUT) NSQ NSCLC that progressed after platinum-based chemotherapy and immune checkpoint or targeted therapy received Temab-A once every 21 days. Primary endpoint was confirmed investigator-assessed objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST v1.1. Secondary endpoints included duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS) and OS. Tumor tissue c-Met protein expression was retrospectively assessed by IHC via central laboratory. Results The EGFR WT cohort enrolled 48 pts (median follow-up: 27 months [mo]; median prior lines of therapy [LoT] 2 [range, 1–9]) and the EGFR MUT cohort enrolled 41 pts (median follow-up: 26 mo; median prior LoT: 3 [1–8]). Most pts received 2.4 mg/kg dose (EGFR WT: 81%, 39/48; EGFR MUT: 88%, 36/41); the remaining received 3.0 mg/kg. Median duration of treatment was 5.6 and 10 mo in the EGFR WT and EGFR MUT cohorts, respectively. Median OS for EGFR WT and EGFR MUT was 13.8 mo and 16.2 mo (Table). Among EGFR WT patients, the prevalence of c-MET expression ≥3+ staining intensity in ≥10% and ≥25% tumor cells was 43% (20/46) and 33% (15/46), respectively.

[Slide 1] 3837RO - ABBV-706: A first-in-class SEZ6-targeted topoisomerase 1 inhibitor (Top1i)-antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) with robust antitumour activity in relapsed/refractory small cell lung cancer (R/R SCLC) Speakers Anne C. Chiang (New Heaven, United States of America) Lecture Time 10:15 - 10:20 Abstract Background SEZ6 exhibits higher expression on SCLC cells than other SCLC therapeutic targets. ABBV-706 is a SEZ6-targeted ADC that selectively delivers a potent, cytotoxic Top1i payload (adizutecan) to SEZ6-expressing tumour cells. Phase (Ph) 1 results of ABBV-706 monotherapy in R/R SCLC (NCT05599984), including biomarker-response associations and ABBV-706 preclinical activity, are presented. Methods Archival tumour tissue was collected at baseline for immunohistochemistry (IHC) and RNA-Seq. Serum neuroendocrine proGRP and circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) were assessed longitudinally. Binding and trafficking of SEZ6 on normal lung alveolar and SCLC cell lines were determined by flow cytometry and high content imaging. Adizutecan potency and activity was assessed in vitro; RNA-Seq was performed on SCLC cells. Results As of Sept 27, 2025, 124 patients (pts) with R/R SCLC received ABBV-706. Among pts with second-line plus (2L+) R/R SCLC who received the recommended Ph 3 dose of 1.8 mg/kg Q3W in Part 2a dose optimization (n=41), an objective response rate (ORR) of 56% and median overall survival (mOS) of 12.4 months (mo) was observed. In a subset with 2L R/R SCLC (n=17), ORR was 82% and mOS was 14.3 mo. Among 2L+ R/R SCLC, safety was comparable with prior data. ABBV-706 drove rapid declines in ctDNA and proGRP as early as cycle (C) 2 day (D) 1. At C3D1, 100% ctDNA clearance was associated with improved progression-free survival and OS. SEZ6 IHC expression was highly prevalent (93% above a 1% [1+ cutoff]), stable across therapy lines, and similar in responders and non-responders. SEZ6 was absent on human normal alveolar lung cells. Preclinically, SEZ6 antibody showed minimal binding and lysosomal trafficking in normal human pulmonary alveolar epithelial cells; significant trafficking in SEZ6-expressing SCLC cells was observed. Adizutecan potently reduced viability and increased expression of MHC-I, PD-L1, and key immune pathways in SCLC cell lines. Conclusions ABBV-706 monotherapy shows promising clinical benefit in heavily pretreated R/R SCLC with biomarker and preclinical data reinforcing its selective, differentiated, and potent antitumour profile.

[Slide 1] 2661RO - Results of a multicenter, phase II, open-label, randomized trial evaluating OSE2101 plus docetaxel or OSE2101 plus nivolumab as second-line therapy in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) progressing after first-line chemo-immunotherapy Speakers Federico Cappuzzo (Rome, Italy) Lecture Time 08:52 - 08:57 Abstract Background OSE2101 is a neo-epitope vaccine designed to induce antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses in HLA-A2 positive patients. Prognosis after progression following first-line chemo-immunotherapy for metastatic NSCLC remains poor. Combi-TED evaluated OSE2101 combined with docetaxel or nivolumab in this setting. Methods Adults with metastatic/unresectable HLA-A2 positive NSCLC, without actionable EGFR mutations or ALK/ROS1 rearrangements, progressing after at least 4 cycles of chemo- immunotherapy or 2 cycles of chemo-immunotherapy followed by 2 cycles of immunotherapy, were randomized (1:1:1) to OSE2101+docetaxel (O+D), OSE2101+nivolumab (O+N), or docetaxel alone (D). Primary endpoint was 1-year overall survival (OS). Secondary endpoints included OS, progression-free survival (PFS), and safety. A one-sided exact binomial test evaluated whether 1-year OS exceeded the predefined 20% threshold. Bayesian analyses assessed the probability of improved 1-year OS versus D. Final results will be available in SEP2026. Results At the cut-off date (30MAR2026), 106 patients were randomized (35 in T+D, 34 in T+N, and 29 in D) and 93 reached 1-year of follow-up. 1-year, OS rates are 15/34: 44% (90% confidence interval [CI], 30–60) for O+D, 14/32: 44% (CI, 29–60) for O+N, and 7/27: 26% (CI, 13–43) for D. The statistical significance is confirmed for O+D (p=0.001), O+N (p=0.002), but not for D (p=0.287). Bayesian analyses suggested posterior probability >90% of improved 1-year survival versus docetaxel alone for both OSE2101-based combinations. Treatment-related adverse events occurred in 89%, 82%, and 79% of patients. Drug-related serious adverse events were reported in 17%, 24%, and 17% of patients. No unexpected safety signals were observed. Conclusions OSE2101-based combinations showed improved 1-year overall survival compared with docetaxel alone in metastatic NSCLC progressing after first-line chemo-immunotherapy, without increasing toxicity, supporting further evaluation of vaccine-based immunotherapy strategies in this setting.

[Slide 1] 2631RO - First-line BAT8008 (TROP2-ADC) plus BAT1308 (anti-PD-1) for advanced NSCLC: Results from a multicenter phase 2 study Speakers Shao Dong Hong (Guangzhou, China) Lecture Time 09:22 - 09:27 Abstract Background TROP2 ADC–immunotherapy combinations are being actively explored as first-line (1L) therapy for patients (pts) with advanced NSCLC, but payload-related myelosuppression and target-associated stomatitis remain key tolerability concerns that may compromise clinical benefit. BAT8008 is a novel exatecan-based TROP2 ADC with a stable cleavable PEG8 linker and DAR of ~6, engineered to widen the therapeutic window. We report preliminary efficacy and safety of BAT8008 plus BAT1308, an anti-PD-1 antibody, as 1L therapy in NSCLC. Methods This multicenter, open-label, single-arm phase 2 trial enrolled treatment-naïve pts with advanced NSCLC. Pts received BAT8008 (2.4 mg/kg) and BAT1308 (200 mg) intravenously once every 2 weeks. Primary endpoints included safety and objective response rate (ORR). Results As of April 28, 2026, 97 patients were enrolled (median age 64 years; 53.6% with squamous histology; 89% with ECOG PS 1). Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurred in 87.6%, with grade (G) ≥3 TRAEs in 38.1% of pts. Despite the high DAR, severe (≥G3) stomatitis and hematological toxicities were relatively uncommon: anemia (7.2%), stomatitis (7.2%), leucocytopenia (14.4%) and neutropenia (15.5%). No new immune-related safety signals were observed. Among 76 efficacy-evaluable pts, ORR was 57.9%, disease control rate (DCR) was 89.5%, and 6-mo progression-free survival (PFS) rate was 64.8%. Antitumor activity was observed across PD-L1 subgroups and histologies (Table). Updated results, including PFS and safety data will be presented at the conference. Table: 2631RO Anti-tumor activity stratified by PD-L1 expression and histology Variables | TPS unknown | TPS <1% | TPS 1-49% | TPS ≥50% | Squamous | Nonsquamous n | 3 | 36 | 19 | 18 | 39 | 37 ORR (%) | 67 | 47 | 53 | 83 | 56 | 59 DCR (%) | 100 | 86 | 89 | 94 | 92 | 86 6-mo PFS (95% CI), % | 100.0 (100.0-100.0) | 46.7 (31.5-69.4) | 76.9 (59.1-100.0) | 80.4 (62.4-100.0) | 61.9 (47.1-81.3) | 68.0 (53.6-86.1) Conclusions BAT8008 plus BAT1308 showed clinically meaningful activity with manageable toxicity in advanced NSCLC. The findings support the planned randomized evaluation of this regimen and suggest a potentially favorable activity–toxicity balance for prolonged IL combination therapy.

[Slide 1] ESMO 2026 - Conference Cal... cslide.ctimeetingtech.com Proffered Paper session Results As of April 2, 2026, 149 pts were enrolled (40 colorectal cancer [CRC], 40 gastric cancer [GC], 27 lung squamous cell carcinoma [SQCC], 23 lung adenocarcinoma [LUAD], and 19 other solid tumors). No dose limiting toxicity occurred. Maximum tolerated dose was not reached. Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurred in 137 (91.9%) pts, of whom 76 (51.0%) were grade ≥3. TRAEs with incidence >20% were anemia (33.6%), and aspartate aminotransferase increased (21.5%). Twenty-five (16.8%) pts discontinued any of the study treatment due to TRAEs. TRAEs leading to death occurred in 5 (3.4%) pts. Efficacy for these cohorts in the efficacy-evaluable set was shown in the table. CCR8-positive was defined as tumor-associated positive immune cell count proportion ≥1.

🫁 PEARLS / KEYNOTE-091 | ESMO 2026 Recurrence Delayed. Survival Unchanged? After 7.3 years of follow-up, does adjuvant pembrolizumab truly change outcomes in resected NSCLC? 🟢 DFS benefit persists: HR 0.85 🔴 No significant OS benefit: HR 0.98 (P = 0.418) 🟢 Lung cancer-specific survival: Favorable trend (HR 0.81) ⚠️ Grade ≥3 toxicity: 34% vs 25.6% The paradox: We can delay recurrence without demonstrating longer overall survival. The question is no longer just whether recurrence is delayed, but whether the magnitude of benefit justifies a year of treatment and its toxicity. Reference: O'Brien ME et al.

[Slide 1] PEARLS / KEYNOTE-091 ESMO 2026 Recurrence Delayed. Survival Unchanged. MV Onco [Hand-drawn illustration: IV bag labelled PEMBROLIZUMAB dripping into a pair of lungs with a tumour; two alarm clocks labelled RECURRENCE CLOCK (teal) and SURVIVAL CLOCK (red)] DFS HR 0.85 Recurrence delayed ✓ OS HR 0.98 No proven survival gain WE DELAYED THE RECURRENCE CLOCK... BUT DID WE EXTEND THE SURVIVAL CLOCK? [IV bag labelled 1 YEAR OF PEMBROLIZUMAB] Grade ≥3 AEs: 34% vs 25.6% [Slide 2] PEARLS / KEYNOTE-091 | ESMO 2026 Did Adjuvant Pembrolizumab Prevent Recurrence? MV Onco ① WHY KEYNOTE-091? • Completely resected early-stage NSCLC • Recurrence remains common after surgery. • Can ONE YEAR of adjuvant pembrolizumab reduce recurrence? ② WHO ENTERED? • Stage IB (≥4 cm), II or IIIA — AJCC v7 • Completely resected NSCLC • Any PD-L1 expression • Adjuvant chemotherapy permitted • N = 1,177 patients ③ RANDOMIZATION N = 1,177 | 1:1 PEMBROLIZUMAB 200 mg IV Q3W × 18 cycles, n = 590 VS PLACEBO Q3W × 18 cycles, n = 587 Duration ≈ 1 year ④ WHAT DID EARLIER ANALYSIS SHOW? SIGNIFICANT DFS BENEFIT ITT population: • HR 0.76 (95% CI 0.63–0.91) • P = 0.0014 Prior chemotherapy subgroup: • HR 0.73 (95% CI 0.60–0.89) → Early recurrence benefit established. ⑤ DID DFS BENEFIT PERSIST? Median follow-up: 87.7 months 6-YEAR DFS • Pembrolizumab → 44.0% • Placebo → 39.2% HR 0.85 (95% CI 0.73–0.98) Median DFS: 58.7 vs 43.3 months TAKE-HOME • DFS benefit persists after 7 years. • But HR shifts 0.76 → 0.85. • Does this translate into LONGER SURVIVAL? Continued in Part 2 → [Slide 3] PEARLS / KEYNOTE-091 | ESMO 2026 PART 2/3 Better DFS – But Are Patients Living Longer? MV Onco ① DID OVERALL SURVIVAL IMPROVE? NO SIGNIFICANT OS BENEFIT 6-year OS: • Pembrolizumab → 68.5% • Placebo → 66.4% • HR 0.98 (95% CI 0.81–1.18) • P = 0.418 → Only 2.1% absolute difference. ② WHAT ABOUT PRIOR CHEMOTHERAPY? 6-year OS: • Pembrolizumab → 68.9% • Placebo → 65.4% • HR 0.91 (95% CI 0.74–1.12) → Numerical advantage. → Still NO demonstrated OS benefit. ③ DID LUNG CANCER DEATHS DECREASE? 6-year lung cancer-specific survival: • Pembrolizumab → 81.3% • Placebo → 76.9% • HR 0.81 (95% CI 0.63–1.03) → Favorable trend. → NOT statistically significant. ④ WHAT ABOUT LCSS AFTER CHEMO? 6-year lung cancer-specific survival: • Pembrolizumab → 81.6% • Placebo → 75.0% • HR 0.69 (95% CI 0.53–0.91) → 6.6% absolute difference. → Encouraging subgroup finding. But secondary endpoint – interpret cautiously. ⑤ WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? Median follow-up: 87.7 months DFS benefit persists: • HR 0.85 But overall survival: • HR 0.98 TAKE-HOME Better DFS ≠ Proven OS Benefit After 7.3 years, pembrolizumab delays recurrence. But patients have NOT been shown to live longer overall. Continued in Part 3 → Toxicity & Practice Implications [Slide 4] PEARLS / KEYNOTE-091 | ESMO 2026 DFS Benefit Without OS Benefit — Is It Worth It? MV Onco 1. WHAT WAS THE PRICE OF BENEFIT? • Grade ≥3 adverse events: – Pembrolizumab → 34.0% – Placebo → 25.6% • Grade ≥3 immune-mediated AEs / infusion reactions: – 7.9% vs 1.9% → More severe toxicity with pembrolizumab. 2. WHY DID DFS NOT TRANSLATE INTO OS? • Possible explanations: • Effective treatment after recurrence • Competing non-cancer deaths • Delayed recurrence ≠ prevented death • Trial not powered for OS These explanations remain unproven. 3. IS KEYNOTE-091 STILL POSITIVE? • YES — FOR DFS • Final DFS: HR 0.85 (95% CI 0.73–0.98) → Persistent recurrence benefit. • But final OS: HR 0.98 (95% CI 0.81–1.18) → NO demonstrated survival advantage. DFS-positive ≠ OS-positive. 4. SHOULD THIS CHANGE PRACTICE? • Adjuvant pembrolizumab remains an option for eligible patients. • But consider: • Absolute DFS benefit • Stage and recurrence risk • PD-L1 and driver mutation status • Prior platinum chemotherapy • Immune toxicity and patient preference Do NOT compare trials indirectly. 5. WHAT IS THE REAL LESSON? • After 7.3 YEARS: • 6-year DFS → 44.0% vs 39.2% • 6-year OS → 68.5% vs 66.4% • Severe AEs → 34.0% vs 25.6% TAKE-HOME PEMBROLIZUMAB DELAYS RECURRENCE. LONGER OVERALL SURVIVAL REMAINS UNPROVEN. The question is no longer simply: "Does it improve DFS?" But: "How much benefit justifies one year of immunotherapy?"

Dr. Nicole M. Batty MD, MBA, MSF, FACP, FASCP, ESMO 2026 slide: UPCOMING FDA DECISION
🧬 NEXT MAJOR FDA DECISION: A DUAL-ACTION IMMUNOTHERAPY CUTS THE HAZARD OF LUNG CANCER PROGRESSION OR DEATH BY 48%! COULD THIS CHANGE THE STANDARD OF CARE? On November 14, 2026, the FDA is scheduled to decide whether to approve ivonescimab + chemotherapy for advanced EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) following progression on a third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), such as osimertinib. ✨ THE HEADLINE: A single investigational antibody targets TWO cancer pathways simultaneously: PD-1 and VEGF. In the global phase III HARMONi trial, median progression-free survival (PFS) improved from 4.4 to 6.8 months. 🔬 THE STUDY: HARMONi randomized 438 patients with advanced EGFR-mutated nonsquamous NSCLC after third-generation EGFR-TKI therapy to ivonescimab + carboplatin/pemetrexed or placebo + chemotherapy. 📊 KEY RESULTS: ✨ Median PFS: 6.8 vs 4.4 months. ✨ Hazard ratio: 0.52 (95% CI 0.41–0.66; P<0.0001). ✨ Relative hazard reduction: 48%. ✨ Median overall survival: 16.8 vs 14.0 months (HR 0.79; 95% CI 0.62–1.01). The primary OS analysis did NOT reach statistical significance. 🧬 WHY THIS MATTERS: EGFR-mutated lung cancer often responds initially to targeted therapy, but acquired resistance remains a major challenge. Ivonescimab is a bispecific antibody designed to block PD-1-mediated immune suppression and VEGF-driven angiogenesis simultaneously. This could offer a new approach after EGFR-TKI resistance. 👩‍⚕️ MY PERSPECTIVE AS A MEDICAL ONCOLOGIST: The concept is exciting: combine immune checkpoint blockade and antiangiogenic activity in ONE antibody. The PFS signal is statistically robust, but the absolute median improvement was 2.4 months, not 48% more time without progression. An updated exploratory OS analysis reported an HR of 0.76, but it does not erase the limitations of the prespecified primary OS analysis. Longer survival remains a critical question. ⚠️ LIMITATIONS: Serious treatment-related adverse events occurred in 28% vs 15% of patients. Potential concerns include cytopenias, bleeding, hypertension, and immune-mediated toxicity. HARMONi did not compare ivonescimab with every modern post-osimertinib treatment option. 🧬 AT ECHELON MEDICAL & AESTHETICS: We emphasize precision diagnostics, molecular biology, and individualized evidence-based medicine. This FDA decision could help define the future of bispecific immunotherapy in solid tumors. 💡 THE BIG QUESTION: Will combining PD-1 + VEGF blockade become a new therapeutic platform across multiple cancers? FDA APPROVAL IS NOT YET GRANTED. November 14 is a target decision date, not a guaranteed approval. 📖 REFERENCES: HARMONi, Lancet Oncology, 2026; FDA PDUFA target: November 14, 2026; NCT06396065. 👩‍⚕️ Nicole M.

Authors point to a likely reason: there are too few effective options. This is Western Europe, with some of the best-resourced health systems on the continent. We know far less about what happens to people with SCLC across Central & Eastern Europe. #LCSM

[Slide 1] [ESMO Congress Madrid 2026 logo] 3836P - Real-world treatment patterns among European patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC): Insights from the RESONANCE study Presentation Number 3836P Speakers Nicolas Girard (Paris, France) Results Overall, 623 pts were identified. At diagnosis, the median (IQR) age was 67 (61–73) years, 57.8% were male and 23.1% had brain metastases; median (IQR) follow-up was 8.3 (4.1–14.6) months. At 1L (N=551), most pts received platinum-based CT + IO (62.8%); tx patterns in the 2L+ setting were more variable (Table). For pts who were platinum-sensitive post-1L, the most common 2L and third-line (3L) tx were platinum-based CT without IO (47.5%, 58/122) and topotecan monotherapy (22%, 13/59), respectively; for pts who were platinum-resistant/refractory, topotecan monotherapy was the most common tx at 2L (41%, 43/105) and 3L (22.2%, 8/36). Conclusions The RESONANCE study suggests no tx consensus exists in the 2L+ setting for ES-SCLC, potentially due to few effective options. Recent approvals of tarlatamab and lurbinectedin, along with ongoing evaluations of novel therapies, may reshape tx patterns.

ESMO 2026 Top 10 (ish) Breast Cancer Abstracts @PTarantinoMD 1. FOURLIGHT-1 (A. Giordano et al.) -> Announced to be positive, this randomized phase 2 trial evaluated the benefit of selective CDK4 inhibition with atirmociclib (+fulvestrant) in 2L HR+ MBC. Highly awaited. 2. BRIDGET (S. Sammons et al.) -> Could the addition of tucatinib to HP (or T-DM1) lead to favorable outcomes among pts with isolated PD from HER2+ MBC? Important data on an understudied setting. 3. TALENT (S. Hurvitz et al.) -> Preliminary results from TALENT were quite disappointing, with neoadjuvant T-DXd/AI showing low pCR rate in HR+/HER2- breast cancer. At ESMO, we will see updated results, including the first data with T-DXd used in sequence with chemo in this setting. 4. SWITCH (L. Fan et al.) -> Could keeping the payload (TOPO1i) but switching the target enable for continued efficacy with ADCs? SATEEN suggested limited benefit for this strategy in HER2+ disease. The SWITCH phase 2 trial tests this strategy with 4 novel TOPO1 ADCs in HR+/HER2- disease. 5. KEYNOTE-B49 (H. Rugo et al.) -> Immunotherapy has struggled to find its place in HR+ disease. This phase 3 trial tested whether using pembro early (added to 1L chemo) and in a selected population (PD-L1+) could prove beneficial for patients with HR+ MBC. 6. POP-DURVA (J. Ribeiro et al.) -> Standard treatment for stage I TNBC remains undefined. POP-DURVA tests 2 infusions of neoadjuvant durva in stage I TNBC with sTIL of >= 5%, with primary endpoint pCR 7. NSABP B42 (E. Mamounas et al.) -> The prior 10-year analysis of NSABP B42 demonstrated a significant DFS (but not OS) advantage with 10 vs 5 years of adjuvant AI in postmenopausal patients. This final analysis will clarify the long-term impact of extended AI therapy, which is increasingly utilized in practice. 8. MRD studies -> Interesting studies evaluating the prognostic role of MRD in HER2+ MBC with exceptional response (Nozawa et al.), neoadjuvant TNBC (Barcenas et al') and in the surveillance setting (Ozaki et al.) 9. Exotic TOPO 1 ADC phase 3 trials -> At ESMO, we will see primary results of multiple phase 3 trials of TOP1 ADCs vs chemo conducted in China, including HORIZON-Breast06 (SHR-A1811 for HER2-low MBC), APEX-Breast01 (TQB2102 for HER2-low MBC) and PANKU-Breast01 (Iza-Bren for HR+/HER2- MBC) 10. Updates from NATALEE (6y), FINER (OS), TROPION-Breast02 (brain mets), DESTINY-Breast09 (brain mets), GIM3 FATA (AI comparison), lidERA (PROs), DESTINY-Breast05 (PROs), OptiTROP-Breast01 (OS) Bonus: CHARISMA (P. Tarantino et al.) -> How does breast cancer escape ADC treatment? We conducted multiomic profiling of biopsies collected pre/post-ADCs, with identification of novel mechanisms of resistance.

#ESMO26 | SWITCH – Phase II In mBC progressing after ADC therapy, switching the target antigen while continuing with the same TOP1 inhibitor payload class resulted in ORRs of only 0–8.3%. Although the sample size was small and the patient population heterogeneous, changing the target antigen alone does not appear sufficient to overcome resistance.

[Slide 1] Rapid Oral session 4RO - Target switching with conserved-payload novel ADCs in patients with metastatic breast cancer following prior ADC therapy (SWITCH): A prospective, open-label, phase 2 platform trial Speakers Lei Fan (Shanghai, China) Lecture Time 10:20 - 10:25 Abstract Background Resistance to antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) is an inevitable challenge in metastatic breast cancer (MBC), but the optimal post-progression sequencing strategy remains unclear. The SWITCH trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of a "target/payload switching" strategy using novel ADCs in patients with ADC-refractory MBC. Methods SWITCH is a prospective, open-label, phase 2 platform trial. Patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-negative) MBC who progressed on at least one prior ADC were enrolled. Based on prior treatment history, participants were randomly assigned to four novel ADC cohorts: SHR-A1811 (Cohort A), SHR-A1921 (Cohort B), SHR-A2009 (Cohort C), or SHR-A2102 (Cohort D), all carrying a topoisomerase I inhibitor (TOP1i) payload. The primary endpoint was investigator-assessed objective response rate (ORR). Results Between Oct 21, 2024, and Dec 30, 2025, 58 HER2-negative patients were screened, 54 of whom were randomly assigned (Cohort A: n=10; B: n=12; C: n=12; D: n=20). The population was heavily pretreated, with the majority (94.4%) having prior exposure to TOP1i-based ADCs. Confirmed ORRs were limited across all cohorts: 0% in Cohort A, 8.3% in Cohort B, 0% in Cohort C, and 5% in Cohort D. Responses were observed only in patients switching from the microtubule inhibitor-based ADC disitamab vedotin (RC48) to a TOP1 inhibitor-based ADC, whereas no responses occurred after switching between ADCs with the same payload class despite antigen switching. Treatment-related adverse events were consistent with known profiles of each ADC and manageable. Conclusions Rechallenging ADC-refractory MBC with novel agents targeting alternative antigens yielded limited responses, which suggested that payload cross-resistance was a primary driver of resistance. Diversified payload mechanisms in subsequent ADC sequencing were important to restore therapeutic sensitivity.

#ESMO26 | Bulumtatug Fuvedotin – Phase II In metastatic TNBC previously treated with TOP1 inhibitor-based ADCs, the Nectin-4-targeted, MMAE-based ADC bulumtatug fuvedotin achieved an ORR of 30%, with a median PFS of 3.7 months. Changing both the target antigen and payload appears promising, although the relatively short PFS raises questions about the durability of benefit.

[Slide 1] Rapid Oral session 4640RO - Bulumtatug fuvedotin (BFv, 9MW2821), a nectin-4-directed antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), in patients with locally advanced or metastatic triple negative breast cancer (la/mTNBC) previously treated with topoisomerase I inhibitor (TopI)-based ADCs: Results from a phase 2 study Speakers Yanchun Meng (Shanghai, China) Lecture Time 10:30 - 10:35 Abstract Background BFv is an ADC delivering monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) to Nectin-4-expressing cells, a target highly expressed in TNBC. For patients with prior exposure to TopI-based ADCs, switching to a Nectin-4-targeted ADC with a distinct payload (MMAE) represents a rational therapeutic strategy. We report efficacy and safety data from the cohort of la/mTNBC patients previously treated with TopI-based ADCs in the phase 2 study of BFv (NCT06492005). Methods Cohort A enrolled la/mTNBC patients with prior TopI-based ADC therapy. BFv was given intravenously at 1.25 mg/kg on days 1 and 8 every 21 days. Primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR). Secondary endpoints included duration of response (DOR), disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety. Results As of April 10, 2026, 62 patients were enrolled, of whom 60 were evaluable for response. Median age was 50.5 years (range 32-73). Liver metastases were present in 33% of patients, and 42% had received ≥3 prior lines of therapy. All patients (100%) had received prior TopI-based ADCs: 48% received TROP-2-targeted ADCs, and 33% received HER2-targeted ADCs. All patients had prior taxane-based chemotherapy; 35% also received immune checkpoint inhibitors. The ORR was 30.0% (95% CI 18.85%-43.21%) and DCR was 80.0% (95% CI 67.67%-89.22%). Median PFS was 3.7 months (95% CI 2.96-4.34), and median DOR was 8.7 months (95% CI 2.79-NR). OS data were not mature. Common TRAEs (≥20%) included increased AST/ALT, neutropenia, leukopenia, hypertriglyceridemia, rash, hypercholesterolemia, hyperglycemia, anemia, thrombocytopenia, asthenia, and increased GGT. Grade ≥3 TRAEs (≥5%) included neutropenia, leukopenia, and increased AST. Conclusions BFv demonstrated promising antitumor activity with a manageable safety profile in heavily pretreated patients with la/mTNBC who had all received prior TopI-based ADCs. The first pivotal trial for this indication worldwide is underway.

[Slide 1] Proffered Paper session LBA25 - Adjuvant ribociclib (RIB) + nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor (NSAI) in patients (pts) with HR+/HER2− early breast cancer (EBC): NATALEE 6-y overall survival (OS) and efficacy outcomes Speakers Dennis J. Slamon (Los Angeles, United States of America) Lecture Time 14:25 - 14:35 [Abstract] Background The phase 3 NATALEE trial demonstrated a statistically significant invasive disease−free survival (iDFS) benefit with adjuvant RIB + NSAI in pts with high-risk stage II/III HR+/HER2− EBC. We present a prespecified analysis of OS and efficacy outcomes with 6 y of follow-up. [Slide 2] Results At the data cutoff (15 May 2026), all pts were off RIB for a median of 38 mo and beyond the predefined NSAI study regimen. With a median OS follow-up of 66.5 mo, RIB + NSAI showed an OS benefit over NSAI alone (HR, 0.809 [95% CI: 0.661-0.989]; nominal 1-sided P=.019), with increasing absolute benefit over time from 1.2% (93.89% vs 92.73%) at 5 y to 2.1% (91.86% vs 89.73%) at 6 y, that was consistent across key subgroups. BCSS (HR, 0.706 [95% CI: 0.559-0.890]) was supportive of OS benefit. With a median iDFS follow-up of 66.3 mo, RIB + NSAI demonstrated a persistent iDFS benefit over NSAI alone (HR, 0.741 [95% CI: 0.646-0.849]; nominal 1-sided P<.0001), with the absolute iDFS benefit increasing from 4.1% (85.32% vs 81.24%) at 5 y to 5.3% (83.23% vs 77.92%) at 6 y. DDFS (HR, 0.744 [95% CI: 0.646-0.858]) and DRFS (HR, 0.738 [95% CI: 0.634-0.858]) benefits were also maintained. No new safety signals were observed. Conclusions With 6 y of follow-up and all pts off RIB (median, ≈3 y), the sustained reduction in recurrence risk and positive OS results with RIB + NSAI over NSAI alone continue to demonstrate a substantial and clinically relevant benefit for pts with high-risk stage II/III HR+/HER2− EBC, supporting the use of RIB + NSAI in the adjuvant setting across the broad NATALEE-eligible population. [Slide 3] Methods Pts with HR+/HER2− EBC were randomized 1:1 to receive RIB (400 mg/d; 3 wk on/1 wk off for 3 y) + NSAI (letrozole 2.5 mg/d or anastrozole 1 mg/d for 5 y) or NSAI alone. Premenopausal women and men also received goserelin. Pts had stage IIA (if N1 or if N0 with additional high-risk factors), stage IIB, or stage III disease per AJCC, 8th ed. OS, breast cancer−specific survival (BCSS), iDFS, distant disease−free survival (DDFS), and distant recurrence−free survival (DRFS) were evaluated via Kaplan-Meier methods. Statistical comparisons were conducted by stratified log-rank test.

#ESMO26 | DESTINY-Breast11 MRI Analysis At cycle 4, ORR was 77.3% in the T-DXd→THP arm vs 50.8% in the ddAC→THP arm. Among patients who achieved CR, PR, or no objective response on MRI after 4 cycles of T-DXd, pCR was achieved in 90%, 67%, and 54%, respectively, after completion of THP. These data show that early MRI response does not reliably predict pCR. Serial MRI response data from the T-DXd monotherapy arm are not included in the abstract. I hope they will be presented during the session. These data will be important for individualizing the duration of neoadjuvant treatment based on response.

[Slide 1] Rapid Oral session 543RO - DESTINY-Breast11: MRI-assessed objective responses during neoadjuvant treatment (NAT) with trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) followed by paclitaxel + trastuzumab + pertuzumab (THP) vs dose-dense doxorubicin + cyclophosphamide followed by THP (ddAC-THP) in HER2+ early breast cancer (eBC) Speakers Jean-Francois Boileau (Montreal, Canada, QC) Lecture Time 17:09 - 17:14 Abstract Background In the Phase 3 DESTINY-Breast11 study (NCT05113251), NAT with T-DXd-THP showed a statistically significant, clinically meaningful improvement in pathologic complete response (pCR) rate and improved safety profile vs ddAC-THP in high-risk, HER2+ eBC. We report analyses of radiological assessments conducted by breast MRI and association with pCR. Methods Patients (pts) were randomized to one of three arms, including T-DXd-THP (4+4 cycles) and ddAC-THP (4+4 cycles). Breast MRI scans were taken at screening, mid-NAT (after Cycle 4), and end of treatment (EOT). Objective response rate (ORR; per RECIST 1.1 per investigator; prespecified exploratory endpoint) was analyzed in pts with baseline scans, and association of response with pCR (ypT0/Tis ypN0) was assessed post hoc. Results Mid-NAT ORR and complete response [CR] rate were higher with T-DXd-THP (N=309) vs ddAC-THP (N=313) overall (ΔORR: 26.5%; ΔCR: 10.7%; Table), and across hormone receptor (HR) status (ORR: HR-, 80.0% [64/80] vs 57.3% [47/82]; HR+, 76.2% [173/227] vs 48.5% [112/231]). At EOT, ORRs were higher vs mid-NAT. Median best % change in target lesion size was greater with T-DXd-THP vs ddAC-THP at mid-NAT (-59% vs -35%) and further increased through EOT (-81% vs -74%). The positive predictive value of mid-NAT CR for pCR was 90.2% (T-DXd-THP) and 87.5% (ddAC-THP), but negative predictive value was lower at 36.6% and 43.6%, respectively.

[Slide 1] 1RO - Overall survival from the phase 3 postMONARCH trial of abemaciclib + fulvestrant vs placebo + fulvestrant for HR+, HER2- advanced breast cancer following progression on a prior CDK4/6 inhibitor + endocrine therapy Speakers Kevin Kalinsky (Atlanta, United States of America) Lecture Time 10:59 - 11:04 Abstract Background The phase 3 postMONARCH trial demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) with abemaciclib + fulvestrant vs placebo + fulvestrant in HR+, HER2- advanced breast cancer (ABC) following progression on a prior CDK4/6i + endocrine therapy (ET). Here we report the final overall survival (OS) analysis. Methods postMONARCH was a global, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Eligible patients had disease progression on a CDK4/6i + aromatase inhibitor as initial therapy for ABC or recurrence on/after adjuvant CDK4/6i + ET; no other prior therapy for ABC was permitted. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive abemaciclib + fulvestrant or placebo + fulvestrant. The final OS analysis was pre-specified at 200 OS events (one-sided p-value boundary p = 0.023). Time-to-event analyses used Kaplan-Meier methods and stratified Cox models to estimate the HR and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results 368 patients were randomized 1:1 (abemaciclib + fulvestrant, n = 182; placebo + fulvestrant, n = 186). At data cutoff (06 Mar 2026), median follow-up was approximately 36 months with 200 events observed (90 [49.5%] vs 110 [59.1%]). Median OS was numerically longer with abemaciclib + fulvestrant vs placebo + fulvestrant: 32.1 months (95% CI 27.2-38.1) vs 24.6 months (95% CI 22.5-28.8); however, statistical significance was not reached (HR: 0.80, 95% CI 0.60-1.06; p=0.1145). Consistent OS differences were observed across subgroups. Updated PFS was consistent with the primary analysis (HR: 0.78, 95% CI 0.62-0.99; nominal p = 0.0390). PFS by blinded independent central review, time to second progression, and chemotherapy-free survival also favored abemaciclib. Safety was consistent with the established abemaciclib profile; no new signals were identified. Conclusions Abemaciclib + fulvestrant resulted in numerically longer median OS vs placebo + fulvestrant, however statistical significance was not reached. While absolute PFS benefit was modest, the overall evidence supports consideration of abemaciclib-based treatment for patients with HR+, HER2- ABC after disease progression on prior CDK4/6i + ET.

#ESMO26 | OptiTROP-Breast01 – Final OS In metastatic TNBC, sacituzumab tirumotecan improved median OS from 9.9 to 14.7 months vs chemotherapy (HR 0.60). 30-month OS: 26.8% vs 13.2%. The survival benefit was maintained with longer follow-up. However, the lack of direct comparisons with existing ADCs leaves its place in treatment sequencing uncertain.

[Slide 1] Rapid Oral session 4639RO - Final OS analysis of sacituzumab tirumotecan versus chemotherapy in previously treated locally recurrent or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer: Phase III OptiTROP-Breast01 Speakers Man Li (Dalian, China) Lecture Time 10:15 - 10:20 Abstract Background Sacituzumab tirumotecan (sac-TMT) is a TROP2-directed ADC with a unique bifunctional linker and a belotecan-derivative topoisomerase I inhibitor payload. In phase III OptiTROP-Breast01, sac-TMT significantly improved PFS and demonstrated a statistically significant OS benefit vs physician's choice chemotherapy at the prespecified interim OS analysis (HR, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.36-0.78; one-sided p=0.0005) in previously treated locally recurrent/metastatic TNBC. Here, we report final OS with extended follow-up. Methods Pts with mTNBC who had received ≥ 2 prior systemic therapies, including ≥ 1 in the metastatic setting, were randomized 1:1 to sac-TMT or physician's choice chemotherapy. OS was a key secondary endpoint. OS was adjusted for subsequent ADC therapy using RPSFT model; censoring at subsequent ADC initiation was performed as a sensitivity analysis. Results A total of 263 pts were randomized to sac-TMT (n=130) or chemotherapy (n=133). As of Sep 17, 2025, the median follow-up was 29.4 mo. The statistically significant OS benefit observed at interim analysis was sustained in the final analysis. Median OS was 14.7 mo (95% CI, 12.1-20.1) with sac-TMT vs 9.9 mo (95% CI, 8.6-11.8) with chemotherapy (HR, 0.60; 95% CI, 0.45-0.80). The survival benefit was durable, with 24-mo OS rates of 33.8% vs 21.4% and 30-mo OS rates of 26.8% vs 13.2%. OS benefit was generally consistent across prespecified subgroups, including prior PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor exposure and HER2-low disease. Subsequent ADC therapy was received by 27.8% of pts in the chemotherapy arm. After adjustment for subsequent ADC therapy, median OS was 14.7 vs 9.4 mo, with an adjusted HR of 0.55 (95% CI, 0.39-0.73); sensitivity analysis censoring pts at subsequent ADC initiation was consistent. No new safety signals were observed. Conclusions With nearly 30 mo of follow-up, sac-TMT sustained the statistically significant OS benefit previously observed at interim analysis. Sac-TMT provided durable survival benefit vs chemotherapy, including across clinically relevant subgroups and after adjustment for subsequent ADC therapy, supporting the use of sac-TMT in previously treated mTNBC.

Yakup Ergün ESMO 2026 slide: 681eP - Effect of adding carboplatin to taxane
In another meta-analysis of ours, to be presented at #ESMO26 , we evaluated whether adding carboplatin to taxane plus dual HER2 blockade improves pCR rates in neoadjuvant HER2+ breast cancer. Across 8 studies involving 2,529 patients, carboplatin did not significantly improve pCR rates (62.2% vs 61.7%), including across the evaluated clinical subgroups.

[Slide 1] 681eP - Effect of adding carboplatin to taxane plus dual HER2 blockade on pathologic complete response in Neoadjuvant HER2-positive breast cancer: A meta-analysis Presentation Number 681eP Speakers Yakup Ergün (Diyarbakır, Türkiye) Authors Yakup Ergün (Diyarbakır, Türkiye), Hayati Arvas (Mardin, Türkiye) Abstract Background To evaluate whether the addition of carboplatin to taxane plus trastuzumab and pertuzumab (THP) in the neoadjuvant treatment of HER2-positive early breast cancer provides an incremental benefit in terms of pathologic complete response (pCR). Methods A systematic literature search was conducted from inception in PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library. Studies comparing neoadjuvant TCHP versus THP were included. The primary endpoint was pCR in the intention-to-treat (ITT) population. Prespecified subgroup analyses were performed according to hormone receptor (HR) status, lymph node status, clinical stage, and tumor grade. Effect sizes were calculated as odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using a random-effects model. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I² statistic. Results A total of 8 studies (2 prospective and 6 retrospective), comprising 2,529 patients, were included. In the ITT population, pCR rates were 62.2% in the TCHP arm and 61.7% in the THP arm. The addition of carboplatin did not result in a statistically significant improvement in pCR (OR 1.15; 95% CI 0.82-1.60; p=0.42; I²=68%). In the HR-negative subgroup, pCR rates were 74.5% versus 78.6% (OR 0.98; 95% CI 0.35-2.76), while in the HR-positive subgroup they were 54.4% versus 54.2% (OR 1.01; 95% CI 0.78-1.30), with no significant differences observed. Among node-negative patients, pCR rates were 67.8% and 67.3% (OR 1.09; 95% CI 0.60-1.98), and among node-positive patients 59.9% and 63.4% (OR 0.87; 95% CI 0.64-1.19). In clinical stage II disease, pCR rates were 63.0% and 65.7% (OR 0.88; 95% CI 0.60-1.29), and in stage III disease 59.8% and 63.6% (OR 0.87; 95% CI 0.48-1.55). Conclusions In neoadjuvant HER2-positive breast cancer, the addition of carboplatin to taxane plus dual HER2 blockade does not significantly improve pCR rates in the overall population or in any of the evaluated clinical subgroups. Based on the available evidence, a patient-tailored, selective approach appears more rational than the routine use of carboplatin.

[Slide 1] Rapid Oral session 544RO - Final analysis of the GIM3 FATA trial: Treatment schedule and three aromatase inhibitors (AIs) comparison in postmenopausal HR-positive (HR+) early breast cancer (eBC) Speakers Pietro De Placido (Napoli, Italy) Lecture Time 16:15 - 16:20 Abstract Background Adjuvant AI therapy is standard for postmenopausal women with HR+ eBC. The optimal schedule [upfront vs sequential AI use after tamoxifen (T)] and the relative efficacy of the three third-generation AIs: anastrozole (A), exemestane (E), letrozole (L) remain unresolved. GIM3 FATA is the only randomized trial prospectively powered to address both questions in parallel, fully investigator-initiated and academically funded. Methods Postmenopausal women with HR+ eBC were randomly assigned 1:1:1:1:1:1 to 5 years of A, E, or L, given upfront or after 2 years of T. Co-primary endpoints were disease-free survival (DFS) for upfront vs switch and DFS across the three AIs. Secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS), distant DFS, distant relapse-free survival, relapse-free survival, and breast cancer-free interval, analyzed under updated STEEP 2.0 criteria. Results Between March 2007 and July 2012, 3697 patients were enrolled at 76 Italian centers; median age was 64 years. At a median follow-up of 88.9 months, 796 DFS (792 required) events and 491 deaths had occurred. For upfront vs switch there was no statistically significant difference for DFS (HR 0.95, 95% CI 0.82-1.09) and OS (HR 0.88, 95% CI 0.74-1.06). The 10-year DFS was 79.1% (95% CI 76.1-81.7) with A, 74.2% (95% CI 70.9-77.2) with E, and 76.6% (95% CI 73.3-79.5) with L (global log-rank p=0.028; pairwise comparison: E vs A statistically significant p=0.010, E vs L p=0.06, L vs A p=0.51). In the adjusted Cox model stratified by treatment schedule, the HR for DFS for E vs A was 1.23 (95% CI 1.04-1.46). 10-year OS was not different among A, E and L (global log-rank p=0.25). Toxicity differed by schedule (more musculoskeletal events with upfront; more T-related events with switch) and by AI (more hypercholesterolemia with non-steroidal AIs). Conclusions No schedule was superior, but E was associated with worse DFS. Schedule and AI choice should be individualized by tolerability and comorbidities. Pharmaco-economic considerations are advised since both E and L are nearly twice as expensive as A in most countries. Clinical trial identification This trial is registered with the European Clinical Trials Database, number 2006-004018-42, NCT00541086.

#ESMO26 | TALENT Neoadjuvant T-DXd showed very low pCR rates in HR+/HER2-low early breast cancer: - T-DXd: 7% - T-DXd + anastrozole: 3% - T-DXd → chemotherapy: 9% We should remember that pCR is a limited surrogate endpoint in HR+ disease. However, these results do not support T-DXd as an alternative to standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Moreover, given the heterogeneity of HER2-low disease, I find it unsurprising that the success of T-DXd in the metastatic setting does not translate into similar outcomes in early-stage disease, despite the lower tumor burden.

[Slide 1] [search icon] Proffered Paper session LBA23 - Final results of TALENT: A neoadjuvant trial of T-DXd with or without anastrozole, or in sequence with chemotherapy for HER2-low, HR+ early-stage breast cancer Speakers Sara A. Hurvitz (Seattle, United States of America) Lecture Time 13:30 - 13:40 Abstract Background Pathologic complete response (pCR) in HR+/HER2-negative breast cancer (BC) is uncommon. T-DXd, a HER2-targeted antibody drug conjugate, improves progression-free and overall survival vs chemotherapy in metastatic HER2-low BC. TALENT (NCT04553770) is a phase II, 2-stage neoadjuvant study evaluating T-DXd + endocrine therapy or in sequence with chemotherapy in pts with HR+/HER2-low early BC. Methods Pts with untreated, operable invasive early HR+/HER2-low BC were randomized 1:1 to receive 6 cy of T-DXd (5.4 mg/kg q21d) alone (Arm A) or with anastrozole (1 mg PO QD) (Arm B). An arm was expanded if ≥2 pCR (RCB0) were observed. After 29 pts enrolled, subsequent pts received 8 cy. After Arms A/B, Arm C was added to evaluate 4 cy T-DXd → 4 cy docetaxel 75 mg/m2 + cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2 (TC) in <58 pts. Biopsies were taken at baseline, pre-cy2 & surgery. Imaging/biomarkers were assessed at baseline, cy 2 & surgery. Endpoints: Residual Cancer Burden (RCB), safety, overall response rate (ORR) & biomarkers. Ki67, HER2, ER & PR were evaluated centrally, and TROP2 & HER2 levels were quantified (quant) by TROPLEX for Arms A & B. Results From 11/2020 - 02/2026, 132 pts were enrolled. Pts in Arm C were more likely to have node+ disease (81%) vs. Arms A/B (53%, 55%). Overall rates of pCR/near-pCR (RCB 0/1) were 16% (Arm A), 17% (Arm B), and 17% (10/58 Arm C). HER2 levels were higher in pts with RCB0 (2691 & 1221 amol/mm2) vs RCB1/2/3 (715-947 & 440-608 amol/mm2) at Baseline & cy 2, respectively.

ILD was rare. HER2 was higher in tumors with RCB0 versus RCB1/2/3, suggesting HER2 level may correlate with treatment outcome. HER2 levels declined significantly on treatment, whereas TROP2 expression remained stable. ER, PR, & Ki67 analyses will be presented.

[Slide 1] Proffered Paper session LBA50 - PANKU-Breast01: Randomized phase III study of izalontamab brengitecan (iza-bren) in previously treated unresectable locally advanced or metastatic (LA/M) hormone receptor-positive/HER2-negative (HR+/HER2-) breast cancer (BC) Speakers Bo Lan (Beijing, China) Lecture Time 14:35 - 14:45 [Abstract] Background Although first-line endocrine therapy plus CDK4/6 inhibitors has improved clinical outcome of HR+/HER2- BC, patients (pts) inevitably develop resistance and survival outcomes remain poor with subsequent therapy. Iza-bren is a first-in-class bispecific antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) against EGFR and HER3, containing a potent topoisomerase I inhibitor payload (Ed-04). [Slide 2] Methods Eligible pts had unresectable LA/M HR+/HER2- BC (HR+, ER≥1% and/or PR≥1%; HER2-, IHC 0, 1+, or 2+/ISH-), progressed after at least 1L of endocrine therapy and 1 or 2L prior chemotherapy, and had previously received CDK4/6 inhibitors and taxanes. Pts were randomized 1:1 to receive iza-bren (2.5 mg/kg D1D8 Q3W) or TPC (eribulin, capecitabine, gemcitabine, or vinorelbine). The primary endpoint was PFS by blinded independent central review (BICR). Secondary endpoint included OS. The pre-planned final analysis for PFS serves as the interim analysis for OS. [Slide 3] Results As of Jul 21, 2026, a total of 383 pts were randomized and treated (iza-bren/TPC, 190/193). Median follow-up for PFS was 15.24 vs 13.63 mo (iza-bren/TPC). Iza-bren significantly improved PFS by BICR vs TPC; mPFS was 8.18 mo (95% CI, 6.93-8.58) vs 4.01 mo (95% CI, 2.92-4.30) (HR, 0.41; 95% CI, 0.33-0.53; P<0.0001). OS was immature at the interim analysis, and no detrimental effect was observed. The cORR by BICR was 40.5% with iza-bren vs 20.2% with TPC, and mDOR was 6.93 vs 4.21 mo, respectively. Grade ≥3 TRAEs were predominantly hematologic in nature. TRAEs were manageable with standard supportive care, and only 1.6% of pts discontinued iza-bren treatment due to TRAEs. Adjudicated ILD occurred in 2 (1.1%) pts with iza-bren (grade 1 or 2). No new safety signals were identified. Conclusions The study met its primary endpoint at the prespecified analysis. Iza-bren demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in PFS vs TPC in previously treated HR+/HER2- BC. The safety profile was manageable and consistent with previous studies. The results support iza-bren as a new standard of care option in this population in China.

[Slide 1] [search icon] Proffered Paper session LBA25 - Adjuvant ribociclib (RIB) + nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor (NSAI) in patients (pts) with HR+/HER2− early breast cancer (EBC): NATALEE 6-y overall survival (OS) and efficacy outcomes Speakers Dennis J. Slamon (Los Angeles, United States of America) Lecture Time 14:25 - 14:35 Abstract Background The phase 3 NATALEE trial demonstrated a statistically significant invasive disease–free survival (iDFS) benefit with adjuvant RIB + NSAI in pts with high-risk stage II/III HR+/HER2− EBC. We present a prespecified analysis of OS and efficacy outcomes with 6 y of follow-up. Methods Pts with HR+/HER2− EBC were randomized 1:1 to receive RIB (400 mg/d; 3 wk on/1 wk off for 3 y) + NSAI (letrozole 2.5 mg/d or anastrozole 1 mg/d for 5 y) or NSAI alone. Premenopausal women and men also received goserelin. Pts had stage IIA (if N1 or if N0 with additional high-risk factors), stage IIB, or stage III disease per AJCC, 8th ed. OS, breast cancer–specific survival (BCSS), iDFS, distant disease–free survival (DDFS), and distant recurrence–free survival (DRFS) were evaluated via Kaplan-Meier methods. Statistical comparisons were conducted by stratified log-rank test. Results At the data cutoff (15 May 2026), all pts were off RIB for a median of 38 mo and beyond the predefined NSAI study regimen. With a median OS follow-up of 66.5 mo, RIB + NSAI showed an OS benefit over NSAI alone (HR, 0.809 [95% CI: 0.661-0.989]; nominal 1-sided P=.019), with increasing absolute benefit over time from 1.2% (93.89% vs 92.73%) at 5 y to 2.1% (91.86% vs 89.73%) at 6 y, that was consistent across key subgroups. BCSS (HR, 0.706 [95% CI: 0.559-0.890]) was supportive of OS benefit. With a median iDFS follow-up of 66.3 mo, RIB + NSAI demonstrated a persistent iDFS benefit over NSAI alone (HR, 0.741 [95% CI: 0.646-0.849]; nominal 1-sided P<.0001), with the absolute iDFS benefit increasing from 4.1% (85.32% vs 81.24%) at 5 y to 5.3% (83.23% vs 77.92%) at 6 y. DDFS (HR, 0.744 [95% CI: 0.646-0.858]) and DRFS (HR, 0.738 [95% CI: 0.634-0.858]) benefits were also maintained. No new safety signals were observed. Conclusions With 6 y of follow-up and all pts off RIB (median, ≈3 y), the sustained reduction in recurrence risk and positive OS results with RIB + NSAI over NSAI alone continue to demonstrate a substantial and clinically relevant benefit for pts with high-risk stage II/III HR+/HER2− EBC, supporting the use of RIB + NSAI in the adjuvant setting across the broad NATALEE-eligible population.

[Slide 1] GIM3 FATA | ESMO 2026 Are All AIs Equal - Or Is One Better? MV Onco [large question mark illustration] [three pill bottles labelled:] ANASTROZOLE LETROZOLE EXEMESTANE 10 YEARS LATER... Did the choice of AI really matter? The Results May Surprise You. [Slide 2] GIM3 FATA | ESMO 2026 PART 1/2 Upfront AI or Tamoxifen First - Does Sequencing Matter? MV Onco 01 WHY GIM3 FATA? • Postmenopausal HR+ early breast cancer. • Adjuvant aromatase inhibitors (AIs) are standard. • But TWO questions remained: • Upfront AI or tamoxifen → AI? • Are all three AIs equally effective? • GIM3 FATA tested BOTH questions. [illustration of woman at a signpost: "Upfront AI (5 years)" OR "Tamoxifen (2 years) → AI (3 years)"] 02 TRIAL DESIGN • Phase III | Randomized | 3,697 patients • 76 Italian centres | Median age 64 years • SIX ARMS - 1:1:1:1:1:1 UPFRONT: 5 years of AI SWITCH: Tamoxifen 2 years → AI 3 years • Three AIs evaluated: • Anastrozole • Letrozole • Exemestane • Co-primary endpoints: DFS by schedule and DFS by AI. [boxes:] Upfront AI 5 years • Anastrozole • Letrozole • Exemestane Tamoxifen → AI Tamoxifen 2 years → AI 3 years • Anastrozole • Letrozole • Exemestane 03 DID UPFRONT AI IMPROVE DFS? NO SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE • Upfront AI vs tamoxifen → AI • DFS HR 0.95 • 95% CI 0.82 - 1.09 • Neither schedule demonstrated superiority. [calendar graphic:] Disease-Free Survival (DFS) HR 0.95 95% CI 0.82 - 1.09 04 DID OVERALL SURVIVAL IMPROVE? NO SIGNIFICANT OS BENEFIT • OS HR 0.88 • 95% CI 0.74 - 1.06 • Median follow-up: 88.9 months • 796 DFS events • 491 deaths • No demonstrated survival advantage with upfront AI. [calendar graphic:] Overall Survival (OS) HR 0.88 95% CI 0.74 - 1.06 Median follow-up 88.9 months 05 TAKE-HOME Upfront AI ≠ Proven Superior Survival • Starting with an AI did not significantly improve DFS or OS compared with tamoxifen followed by AI. • Both schedules remain reasonable options. • Individualize sequencing by recurrence risk, tolerability and comorbidities. NEXT: Are all three aromatase inhibitors equally effective? [Slide 3] GIM3 FATA | ESMO 2026 PART 2/2 Three Aromatase Inhibitors - Are They Really Equal? MV Onco 01 WHICH AI PERFORMED BEST? 10-YEAR DISEASE-FREE SURVIVAL • Anastrozole - 79.1% • Letrozole - 76.6% • Exemestane - 74.2% Global log-rank p = 0.028 Anastrozole showed the highest DFS. [three pill bottles: Anastrozole, Letrozole, Exemestane] 02 WERE DIFFERENCES SIGNIFICANT? Exemestane vs Anastrozole • DFS HR 1.23 (95% CI 1.04 - 1.46) • 23% higher relative hazard of a DFS event with exemestane. Pairwise comparisons: • Exemestane vs Anastrozole: p = 0.010 • Exemestane vs Letrozole: p = 0.060 • Letrozole vs Anastrozole: p = 0.510 Only E vs A was statistically significant. [balance scale graphic: A vs E] Exemestane had worse DFS than Anastrozole 03 DID BETTER DFS TRANSLATE INTO OS? NO SIGNIFICANT OS DIFFERENCE • 10-year OS across the three AIs: Global log-rank p = 0.25 Better DFS with anastrozole vs exemestane did NOT establish longer survival. [hourglass graphic] DFS benefit ≠ Proven OS benefit 04 WHAT ABOUT TOXICITY? UPFRONT AI • More musculoskeletal adverse events. TAMOXIFEN → AI • More tamoxifen-related adverse events. NONSTEROIDAL AIs • Anastrozole and letrozole: - More hypercholesterolemia. AI choice should consider toxicity, comorbidities and adherence. 05 TAKE-HOME Are All Aromatase Inhibitors Equal? Not necessarily. • Anastrozole showed significantly better DFS than exemestane. • Letrozole was not significantly different from either AI. • No demonstrated OS advantage among the three. • DFS differences require interpretation alongside distant-recurrence outcomes and other trials. • Choose the AI thoughtfully - not solely by class.

Hurvitz (Seattle, United States of America) Lecture Time 13:30 - 13:40 [Abstract] Background Pathologic complete response (pCR) in HR+/HER2-negative breast cancer (BC) is uncommon. T-DXd, a HER2-targeted antibody drug conjugate, improves progression-free and overall survival vs chemotherapy in metastatic HER2-low BC. TALENT (NCT04553770) is a phase II, 2-stage neoadjuvant study evaluating T-DXd + endocrine therapy or in sequence with chemotherapy in pts with HR+/HER2-low early BC. [Slide 2] Conclusions In this first study to report outcomes with neoadjuvant T-DXd in HR+/HER2-low BC, T-DXd−based therapy was associated with low pCR rates. ILD was rare. HER2 was higher in tumors with RCB0 versus RCB1/2/3, suggesting HER2 level may correlate with treatment outcome.

#ESMO26 | NSABP B-42 – 15-year final analysis After 5 years of AI-based therapy, an additional 5 years of letrozole: • DFS: 61.6% vs 56.5% (HR 0.85). • Distant recurrence: 6.9% vs 9.7% (HR 0.72). The sustained reduction in distant recurrence is valuable. Given changes in post-recurrence treatment over such a long follow-up, I do not consider OS alone decisive. However, SALSA did not demonstrate superiority of 10 over 7 years, nor did IDEAL demonstrate superiority of 10 over 7.5 years. B-42 compares 5 with 10 years. Several questions remain: • In which patients is 10 years superior to 7–8 years? • Should we go beyond 10 years? • When adjuvant CDK4/6 inhibitors are added, should we still extend endocrine therapy for this long? Personally, I favour extending treatment to 10 years, particularly in patients at high risk of late recurrence who tolerate therapy well, and perhaps longer in selected patients.

[Slide 1] Proffered Paper session LBA24 - Final analysis of NRG oncology/NSABP B-42, a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial of extended letrozole in postmenopausal women with hormone-receptor positive breast cancer who have completed previous adjuvant therapy with an aromatase inhibitor Speakers Eleftherios P. Mamounas (Orlando, United States of America) Lecture Time 14:15 - 14:25 Abstract Background NSABP B-42 evaluated whether 5 yrs of letrozole (L) vs placebo (P) improves disease-free survival (DFS) in patients who received 5 yrs of endocrine therapy. Previous 10-yr results showed that L significantly improved the primary endpoint of DFS and secondary endpoints of breast cancer-free interval (BCFI) and distant recurrence (DR) with no significant improvement in overall survival (OS). Here we report the final trial analysis of 15-yr outcome data. Methods A total of 3,966 postmenopausal patients with stage I-III, hormone-receptor positive breast cancer, disease-free after 5 yrs of an aromatase inhibitor (AI) or ≤3 yrs of tamoxifen à AI for total of 5 yrs, were randomized 1:1 to 5 yrs of L 2.5 mg PO daily or P. Stratification was by pathologic nodal status, prior tamoxifen or not, and baseline DEXA T scores (>-2.0, ≤-2.0 SD). Primary endpoint was DFS. Secondary endpoints included OS, BCFI and DR. Differences in outcomes between L and P were assessed by stratified log-rank tests and Cox proportional hazards models. Results Follow-up of trial patients was completed in 08/26, with median follow-up of 15.9 yrs. Since the 10-yr update, 538 additional DFS events were recorded. The 15-yr results continue to show a modest but significant improvement in DFS (HR=0.85, 95%CI=0.77 to 0.94,15-yr DFS: P=56.5%, L=61.6%), BCFI (HR=0.78, 95%CI=0.67 to 0.92,15-yr BCFI risk: P=18.3%, L=14.7%) and DR (HR=0.72, 95%CI=0.57 to 0.91,15-yr DR risk: P=9.7%, L=6.9%). The L effect on DFS was consistent across subgroups by stratification factors. There was no significant improvement in OS (HR=0.92, 95%CI=0.82 to 1.05, 15-yr OS: P=72.3%, L=74.0%). Conclusions With over 15 yrs of follow-up, the B-42 trial continues to demonstrate a sustained and clinically meaningful benefit with extended letrozole therapy on DFS and key secondary endpoints consistent with the original and 10-yr updated results. No attenuation of treatment effect was observed from year 10 to year 15.

[Slide 1] Proffered Paper session LBA13 - Trastuzumab rezetecan (SHR-A1811) in HER2-low advanced breast cancer (BC): A randomized, phase 3 study (HORIZON-Breast06) Speakers Ying Fan (Beijing, China) Lecture Time 13:40 - 13:50 Abstract Background HORIZON-Breast06 is a pivotal, randomized, multicenter, open-label, phase 3 study comparing trastuzumab rezetecan (a HER2 ADC) with physician's choice of chemotherapy in patients (pts) with HER2-low advanced BC who had received ≤1 prior line of chemotherapy for metastatic disease, with prior endocrine therapy required for hormone receptor (HR)-positive disease. Methods Pts were randomized (1:1) to receive trastuzumab rezetecan (6.4 mg/kg IV, Q3W) or physician's choice of chemotherapy (taxanes, eribulin, capecitabine, or gemcitabine). The co-primary endpoints were PFS by blinded independent central review (BICR) in chemo-naïve (0 prior line of chemotherapy for metastatic disease) and overall pts. Results As of Mar 20, 2026, 551 pts were randomized (trastuzumab rezetecan, n=277; chemotherapy, n=274; chemo-naïve: 81.5%; HR-positive: 73.0%; prior CDK4/6 inhibitor: 64.8%). Median follow-up was 18.0 months (95% CI 16.8–19.3) for all patients. Trastuzumab rezetecan significantly prolonged PFS by BICR in both chemo-naïve (median 16.6 vs. 6.8 months; HR 0.25, 95% CI 0.19–0.33; P<0.0001; table) and overall pts (median 16.4 vs. 6.8 months; HR 0.27, 95% CI 0.21–0.34; P<0.0001). The PFS benefit was consistent across all prespecified subgroups, including HR-negative disease (16.5 vs. 6.8 months; HR 0.34) and HR-positive disease (16.4 vs. 6.7 months; HR 0.24). OS data remain immature, with a trend favoring trastuzumab rezetecan. Grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse events occurred in 84.1% (trastuzumab rezetecan) and 67.9% (chemotherapy) of patients, respectively. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) was reported in only 7 pts (2.5%) with trastuzumab rezetecan. Table: LBA13 [Table] Chemo-naïve patients: Trastuzumab rezetecan (N=225) | Chemotherapy (N=224) | Overall patients: Trastuzumab rezetecan (N=277) | Chemotherapy (N=274) PFS Events, n (%) | 91 (40.4) | 146 (65.2) | 130 (46.9) | 185 (67.5) Median (95% CI), months | 16.6 (14.0–19.4) | 6.8 (5.7–7.0) | 16.4 (14.0–16.8) | 6.8 (5.7–6.9) 12-mo rate, % (95% CI) | 65.2 (57.6–71.8) | 18.9 (12.8–25.8) | 63.1 (56.4–69.1) | 18.0 (12.7–24.1) HR (95% CI); 1-sided P | 0.25 (0.19–0.33); P<0.0001 | 0.27 (0.21–0.34); P<0.0001 OS Events, n (%) | 43 (19.1) | 55 (24.6) | 66 (23.8) | 77 (28.1) 12-mo rate, % (95% CI) | 92.0 (87.3–95.1) | 83.0 (76.9–87.6) | 90.6 (86.2–93.6) | 81.4 (75.9–85.8) ORR, % (95% CI) | 76.0 (69.9–81.4) | 43.3 (36.7–50.1) | 75.5 (69.9–80.4) | 41.2 (35.4–47.3) Conclusions Trastuzumab rezetecan significantly improved PFS over physician's choice of chemotherapy in pts with HER2-low advanced BC regardless of prior lines of chemotherapy or HR status, with a trend toward OS benefit and a favorable safety profile including a low incidence of ILD.

#ESMO26 | PANKU-Breast01 In HR+/HER2− mBC, the EGFR/HER3 bispecific ADC (iza-bren): PFS: 8.18 vs 4.05 months (HR 0.41). Grade ≥3 TRAEs: 40.5% vs 20.2%. OS remains immature. An impressive PFS benefit. However, in an era when ADCs such as T-DXd and SG are already in use, superiority over chemotherapy alone is not enough. Another treatment option… The added value of bispecific targeting, particularly its efficacy after other TOP1-ADCs, remains uncertain. These are the key data needed to define its place in treatment sequencing.

[Slide 1] [search icon] Proffered Paper session LBA50 - PANKU-Breast01: Randomized phase III study of izalontamab brengitecan (iza-bren) in previously treated unresectable locally advanced or metastatic (LA/M) hormone receptor-positive/HER2-negative (HR+/HER2-) breast cancer (BC) Speakers Bo Lan (Beijing, China) Lecture Time 14:35 - 14:45 Abstract Background Although first-line endocrine therapy plus CDK4/6 inhibitors has improved clinical outcome of HR+/HER2- BC, patients (pts) inevitably develop resistance and survival outcomes remain poor with subsequent therapy. Iza-bren is a first-in-class bispecific antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) against EGFR and HER3, containing a potent topoisomerase I inhibitor payload (Ed-04). Methods Eligible pts had unresectable LA/M HR+/HER2- BC (HR+, ER≥1% and/or PR≥1%; HER2-, IHC 0, 1+, or 2+/ISH-), progressed after at least 1L of endocrine therapy and 1 or 2L prior chemotherapy, and had previously received CDK4/6 inhibitors and taxanes. Pts were randomized 1:1 to receive iza-bren (2.5 mg/kg D1D8 Q3W) or TPC (eribulin, capecitabine, gemcitabine, or vinorelbine). The primary endpoint was PFS by blinded independent central review (BICR). Secondary endpoint included OS. The pre-planned final analysis for PFS serves as the interim analysis for OS. Results As of Jul 21, 2026, a total of 383 pts were randomized and treated (iza-bren/TPC, 190/193). Median follow-up for PFS was 15.24 vs 13.63 mo (iza-bren/TPC). Iza-bren significantly improved PFS by BICR vs TPC; mPFS was 8.18 mo (95% CI, 6.93-8.58) vs 4.01 mo (95% CI, 2.92-4.30) (HR, 0.41; 95% CI, 0.33-0.53; P<0.0001). OS was immature at the interim analysis, and no detrimental effect was observed. The cORR by BICR was 40.5% with iza-bren vs 20.2% with TPC, and mDOR was 6.93 vs 4.21 mo, respectively. Grade ≥3 TRAEs were predominantly hematologic in nature. TRAEs were manageable with standard supportive care, and only 1.6% of pts discontinued iza-bren treatment due to TRAEs. Adjudicated ILD occurred in 2 (1.1%) pts with iza-bren (grade 1 or 2). No new safety signals were identified. Conclusions The study met its primary endpoint at the prespecified analysis. Iza-bren demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in PFS vs TPC in previously treated HR+/HER2- BC. The safety profile was manageable and consistent with previous studies. The results support iza-bren as a new standard of care option in this population in China.

MV Onco 01 WHY SWITCH? • HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer • Resistance to antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) is an emerging challenge. • After progression on an ADC, what should we change? ○ The antigen target? ○ The cytotoxic payload? • Can changing the target alone overcome resistance? [illustration: Before ADC response / After ADC progression (resistance)] 02 TRIAL DESIGN • Phase II | Prospective | Open-label • 54 patients | HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer • Progression after ≥1 prior ADC • Four investigational ADC cohorts assigned according to prior treatment history. • Primary endpoint: Investigator-assessed ORR [four bottles:] SHR-A1811 Cohort A (n=10) SHR-A1921 Cohort B (n=12) SHR-A2009 Cohort C (n=12) SHR-A2102 Cohort D (n=20) All FOUR ADCs carried a TOP1 inhibitor payload 03 WHICH ADCs WERE TESTED? • Four investigational ADCs with different targets and constructs. • All used the SAME TOP1 inhibitor payload. • Cohort A - SHR-A1811 (n=10) • Cohort B - SHR-A1921 (n=12) • Cohort C - SHR-A2009 (n=12) • Cohort D - SHR-A2102 (n=20) [ADC illustration] Different antigen targets and ADC constructs / Same cytotoxic payload (TOP1 inhibitor) 04 HOW HEAVILY PRETREATED? • 94.4% had prior TOP1i-based ADC exposure. • Most patients had already received an ADC with the same payload class. • Could another TOP1i-based ADC restore sensitivity?

CONFIRMED OBJECTIVE RESPONSE RATE • Cohort A - 0% • Cohort B - 8.3% • Cohort C - 0% • Cohort D - 5% Only 2 of 54 patients responded (3.7%). TAKE-HOME • Changing the ADC construct while retaining a TOP1i payload produced very limited responses. • NEXT: Is payload cross-resistance the missing explanation? [Slide 3] SWITCH | ESMO 2026 Change the Target - Or Change the Payload? PART 2/2 MV Onco 01 WHERE DID RESPONSES OCCUR? ONLY AFTER SWITCHING PAYLOAD CLASS Both responders had previously received: Disitamab vedotin (RC48) • Microtubule inhibitor payload (MMAE) [ADC illustration] RC48 (Disitamab vedotin) Target: HER2 Payload: MMAE (microtubule inhibitor) Then switched to: TOP1i-based ADC - Different target, Payload: TOP1 inhibitor 2 responses among 54 patients → No responses were observed after switching between ADCs with the same TOP1i payload class. 02 WHY DID TARGET SWITCHING FAIL? POSSIBLE PAYLOAD CROSS-RESISTANCE ADC resistance may involve: • Antigen loss or downregulation • Impaired internalization • Drug efflux mechanisms • Altered TOP1 activity • Enhanced DNA damage repair [cell illustration labelled: Antigen loss downregulation, Impaired internalization, Drug efflux, Altered TOP1 activity, Enhanced DNA damage repair] Changing the antigen may not overcome resistance to the cytotoxic payload. Different target ≠ Different killing mechanism 03 WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR ADC SEQUENCING? Consider progression after T-DXd. T-DXd (HER2) Payload: DXd (TOP1 inhibitor) → Sacituzumab govitecan (TROP2) Payload: SN-38 (TOP1 inhibitor) • HER2 → TROP2: Different targets • DXd → SN-38: Different molecules • Both: TOP1 inhibitor payload class • Potential for cross-resistance despite antigen switching. Important: SWITCH does NOT establish that sacituzumab govitecan is ineffective after T-DXd. 04 WHAT ARE THE LIMITATIONS? Small, hypothesis-generating phase II trial • Only 54 patients • Only 2 confirmed responses • Small, treatment-history-selected cohorts • No direct randomized comparison of payload-switching strategies • No definitive mechanistic proof of cross-resistance • Safety was described as manageable, without detailed toxicity rates in the abstract. Association ≠ Proof of mechanism 05 WHAT SHOULD FUTURE TRIALS TEST? Three sequencing strategies: A Different target + Same payload class B Same target + Different payload class C Different target + Different payload class • Integrate antigen expression and molecular resistance biomarkers. • Which strategy can truly restore ADC sensitivity? TAKE-HOME New Target. Same Payload. Limited Responses. • SWITCH suggests that payload-class cross-resistance may contribute substantially to ADC failure. • Changing the antigen alone may be insufficient. • The next frontier in ADC sequencing may be changing the weapon - not merely its address. • Hypothesis-generating, not practice-changing.

🚨 Important biomarker signal from #ESMO2026—highly relevant beyond breast cancer! In the neoadjuvant TALENT trial T-DXd achieved relatively low pCR/near-pCR rates (16–17%) in HER2-low breast cancer. Importantly, higher baseline HER2 expression was associated with better pathological response, while HER2 expression declined substantially during treatment. Could the same principle apply to perioperative enfortumab vedotin + pembrolizumab in MIBC? We urgently need to understand whether low or absent membranous NECTIN4 expression identifies patients less likely to achieve pCR—and potentially at higher risk of recurrence despite EV+pembro. Histology, quantitative membranous NECTIN4 expression, spatial heterogeneity and ctDNA dynamics should be integrated into prospective biomarker studies. @Markuseckstein3 @DrRosenbergMSK @Dr_Aggen Precision perioperative therapy must start before cycle 1—not only after cystectomy. 🔬 @OncoAlert Faculty @DrChoueiri , @tompowles1 , @apolo_andrea , @neerajaiims , @montypal , @Silke_Gillessen , @AOmlin , @brian_rini , @PGrivasMDPhD , @TiansterZhang , @amerseburger , @DrDanielHeng , @HHammersMD , @scocmem , @AndreaNecchi , @AmandaNizamMD , @drenriquegrande , @nataliagandur , @AlbigesL , @cdanicas , @declangmurphy , @seanmmcbride , @shilpaonc , @DrRanaMcKay , @scserendipity1 , @DrYukselUrun , @ravikanesvaran , @BraunMDPhD , @EfstathiouEleni , @mzugman , @crisbergerot

[Slide 1] Proffered Paper session LBA23 - Final results of TALENT: A neoadjuvant trial of T-DXd with or without anastrozole, or in sequence with chemotherapy for HER2-low, HR+ early-stage breast cancer Speakers Sara A. Hurvitz (Seattle, United States of America) Lecture Time 13:30 - 13:40 Abstract Background Pathologic complete response (pCR) in HR+/HER2-negative breast cancer (BC) is uncommon. T-DXd, a HER2-targeted antibody drug conjugate, improves progression-free and overall survival vs chemotherapy in metastatic HER2-low BC. TALENT (NCT04553770) is a phase II, 2-stage neoadjuvant study evaluating T-DXd + endocrine therapy or in sequence with chemotherapy in pts with HR+/HER2-low early BC. Methods Pts with untreated, operable invasive early HR+/HER2-low BC were randomized 1:1 to receive 6 cy of T-DXd (5.4 mg/kg q21d) alone (Arm A) or with anastrozole (1 mg PO QD) (Arm B). An arm was expanded if ≥2 pCR (RCB0) were observed. After 29 pts enrolled, subsequent pts received 8 cy. After Arms A/B, Arm C was added to evaluate 4 cy T-DXd → 4 cy docetaxel 75 mg/m2 + cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2 (TC) in <58 pts. Biopsies were taken at baseline, pre-cy2 & surgery. Imaging/biomarkers were assessed at baseline, cy 2 & surgery. Endpoints: Residual Cancer Burden (RCB), safety, overall response rate (ORR) & biomarkers. Ki67, HER2, ER & PR were evaluated centrally, and TROP2 & HER2 levels were quantified (quant) by TROPLEX for Arms A & B. Results From 11/2020 - 02/2026, 132 pts were enrolled. Pts in Arm C were more likely to have node+ disease (81%) vs. Arms A/B (53%, 55%). Overall rates of pCR/near-pCR (RCB 0/1) were 16% (Arm A), 17% (Arm B), and 17% (10/58 Arm C). HER2 levels were higher in pts with RCB0 (2691 & 1221 amol/mm2) vs RCB1/2/3 (715-947 & 440-608 amol/mm2) at Baseline & cy 2, respectively.

ILD was rare. HER2 was higher in tumors with RCB0 versus RCB1/2/3, suggesting HER2 level may correlate with treatment outcome. HER2 levels declined significantly on treatment, whereas TROP2 expression remained stable. ER, PR, & Ki67 analyses will be presented.

SWITCH vs SATEEN | ADC Sequencing: Is the Payload the Problem? Different populations. Different strategies. Same ORR: 3.7%. 🔹 SWITCH: HER2-negative MBC — 2/54 responses. No responses after TOP1i → TOP1i switching. 🔹 SATEEN: HER2-positive MBC after T-DXd — SG + trastuzumab. ORR 3.7%; median PFS 2.3 months. Key question: Are we changing the ADC target while retaining the same resistance problem? TAKE-HOME: Target switching alone may be insufficient. Payload-class cross-resistance is plausible, but unproven. Diversifying the cytotoxic mechanism deserves investigation. Different Targets. Same Payload Class. Limited Responses. 📚 References: SWITCH (ESMO 2026); SATEEN (published phase II study). #MVOnco #ESMO2026 #BreastCancer #ADC #Oncology

TALENT | ESMO 2026 | LBA23 The tumour shrank. But the cancer survived. Neoadjuvant T-DXd in HR+/HER2-low breast cancer: • ORR: 65–67% • pCR: Only 3–9% • Adding anastrozole or sequential TC showed no clear pCR improvement. The biological surprise: HER2 expression declined during treatment, while TROP2 remained relatively stable. TAKE-HOME: Shrinkage ≠ eradication. Low pCR does not necessarily exclude long-term benefit.

[Slide 1] TALENT | ESMO 2026 | LBA23 THE TUMOUR SHRANK. BUT THE CANCER SURVIVED. MV Onco HR+/HER2-low breast cancer [illustration: large breast tumour → shrunken tumour after T-DXd] T-DXd ORR 65–67% Residual viable cancer cells pCR ONLY 3–9% HER2 ↓ TROP2 ↔ What makes these cells survive? TAKE-HOME SHRINKAGE ≠ ERADICATION Adding endocrine therapy or sequential TC showed no clear pCR improvement. [Slide 2] TALENT | ESMO 2026 | LBA23 Part 1 – Tumour Shrinkage Without Tumour Eradication? MV Onco 01 THE QUESTION • HR+/HER2-low early breast cancer • T-DXd works in metastatic disease. • Can it eradicate tumours before surgery? TALENT | Phase II | N = 132 02 THREE STRATEGIES • T-DXd alone — n = 45 • T-DXd + anastrozole — n = 29 • T-DXd → TC chemotherapy — n = 58 TC = docetaxel + cyclophosphamide 03 THE RESULTS | Outcome | T-DXd (n = 45) | + AI (n = 29) | → TC (n = 58) | | ORR | 67% | 66% | 65% | | pCR | 7% | 3% | 9% | | pCR + near-pCR | 16% | 17% | 17% | • ~2 in 3 tumours shrank. • Fewer than 1 in 10 achieved pCR. 04 WHY THE DISCONNECT? • ORR ≠ pCR • ORR = Tumour shrinkage • pCR = No residual invasive cancer • HR+ tumours may shrink substantially while viable cancer persists. • Adding anastrozole or sequential TC showed no clear improvement in pCR. • Small phase II cohorts; no definitive comparative conclusions. TAKE-HOME • T-DXd shrinks tumours — but rarely achieves pCR in HR+/HER2-low disease. • Low pCR does not necessarily exclude long-term benefit. [Slide 3] TALENT | ESMO 2026 | LBA23 Part 2 – What Did TALENT Reveal About ADC Resistance? MV Onco 1 DOES HER2 LEVEL MATTER? Tumours achieving RCB0 (pCR) had higher HER2 expression than RCB1–3 tumours. Higher HER2 → Better pathological response? Exploratory association only. No validated HER2 threshold. 2 WHAT HAPPENED TO HER2? HER2 expression declined significantly during T-DXd treatment. Possible explanations: • Elimination of HER2-expressing cells. • Selection of HER2-lower tumour cells. • Adaptive changes in HER2 expression. Could residual disease become HER2-lower? Mechanism remains unproven. HER2 ↓ TROP2 ↔ 3 WHAT ABOUT TROP2? TROP2 expression remained relatively stable. HER2 ↓ | TROP2 ↔ Could TROP2-directed ADCs target residual disease after T-DXd? Biological hypothesis — not tested in TALENT. Stable expression does not guarantee ADC sensitivity. 4 WAS TALENT DISAPPOINTING? Tumour shrinkage: 65–67% ORR Pathological clearance: Only 3–9% pCR Long-term benefit: Unknown • HR+ breast cancer often has low pCR rates. • pCR alone cannot determine long-term benefit. • Mature recurrence outcomes are needed. TAKE-HOME • T-DXd shrinks tumours, but residual disease may have altered HER2 expression. • Stable TROP2 raises a sequencing hypothesis — not a proven treatment strategy.

OS DATA IMMATURE • No detrimental OS effect observed at interim analysis. • PFS HR → 0.41 • But PFS benefit ≠ proven OS benefit. • Survival advantage NOT YET established. 03 HOW DOES IT FIT AMONG ADCs? • T-DXd → HER2 • Sacituzumab govitecan → TROP2 • Iza-bren → EGFR + HER3 All deliver TOP1 inhibitor payloads. • No head-to-head ADC comparison. • Efficacy after prior ADCs remains unknown. • Optimal ADC sequencing unresolved. 04 WHAT QUESTIONS REMAIN? • Does PFS translate into OS? • Does efficacy differ in HER2-zero vs HER2-low? • Can it overcome resistance to prior ADCs? • Will EGFR/HER3 expression predict benefit? TAKE-HOME • Iza-bren offers impressive PFS benefit with manageable reported toxicity. • But OS, ADC sequencing and long-term safety remain unanswered.

DAY THREE | OncoAlert at #GUARDSymposium2026 🇪🇸 🧬 With no randomised evidence in second line, how should clinicians sequence therapy after EV+pembrolizumab in advanced bladder cancer? Dr. Urbano Anido 🇪🇸 from Complexo Hospitalario Universitario de Santiago reviews therapeutic sequencing in advanced #UrothelialCarcinoma, now that enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab has pushed the hardest decisions into second line 🔬 Six converging real-world cohorts show platinum retains activity after progression — roughly half of patients respond, survival approaches twelve months, and there's no signal favouring cisplatin over carboplatin. 🎯 Sequencing can no longer be decided by line alone: testing for FGFR3 and HER2 early is essential, since attrition means reserved options are often never reached. The old line-by-line playbook doesn't hold anymore — biomarker testing has to happen upfront, not when you get there. @DrFelixGuerrero @cdanicas @dralvaropinto @drenriquegrande @fcounago @docjavip @BerUrologia @DrJaVallejo @Maroto5Pablo @nachoduranm @RodriguezAntona @AnaPlatabello1 @Uro_Oncologist @Ecastromarcos @abraocantoMD @AlvarezMa89031 @scocmem @OncBrothers @Helena_de_Palma @F_lopez_campo @DrIacovelli @tompowles1 @mjuanfi81 @AndreaNecchi @Martin_AngelMD @cinthiavgauna @NicosiaMd @GiuliaMarvaso84 @ArkaitzLab @Dolmos77 @alvarojuarezs @Prof_Nick_James @Dav_Lorente @charlesryanmd @Uro_Dominguez @JaviMolinaC @g_develasco @tonivilaseca @MarioHArroyo @urbano_anido @DrRosenbergMSK @GuardConsortium

DAY THREE | OncoAlert at #GUARDSymposium2026 🇪🇸 🧬 What comes after enfortumab vedotin in urothelial cancer? Dr. Jonathan E. Rosenberg 🇺🇸 from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, looks ahead to the next wave of ADCs and the biomarkers that will guide their use in #UrothelialCarcinoma 🔬 Beyond EV, new Nectin-4 agents and alternative targets — HER2, EGFR, HER3, TROP2 — are poised to reshape the field. Emerging post-EV data show resistance isn't always driven by loss of the target, meaning cross-resistance patterns are more complex than a simple target-loss model. 🎯 Progress now depends on rational ADC sequencing and biomarker assessment to identify not just which patients to treat, but when. ADCs got us here — figuring out what to give next, and to whom, is the next fight. @DrFelixGuerrero @cdanicas @dralvaropinto @drenriquegrande @fcounago @docjavip @BerUrologia @DrJaVallejo @Maroto5Pablo @nachoduranm @RodriguezAntona @AnaPlatabello1 @Uro_Oncologist @Ecastromarcos @abraocantoMD @AlvarezMa89031 @scocmem @OncBrothers @Helena_de_Palma @F_lopez_campo @DrIacovelli @tompowles1 @mjuanfi81 @AndreaNecchi @Martin_AngelMD @cinthiavgauna @NicosiaMd @GiuliaMarvaso84 @ArkaitzLab @Dolmos77 @alvarojuarezs @Prof_Nick_James @Dav_Lorente @charlesryanmd @Uro_Dominguez @JaviMolinaC @g_develasco @tonivilaseca @MarioHArroyo @urbano_anido @DrRosenbergMSK @GuardConsortium

PFS BY ALTERATION TP53m HR 0.65 (0.45–0.93); PIK3CAm 0.55 (0.36–0.83); GATA3m 0.80 (0.48–1.35); RB1m 0.65 (0.38–1.12). ESR1 VARIANTS 207 ESR1m patients: D538G 57%, Y537X 60%; 34% had >1 variant. PFS HR by residue: D538 0.58 (0.38–0.89); Y537 0.35 (0.22–0.54); L536 0.67 (0.28–1.63); E380 0.30 (0.11–0.83). Based on publicly released #ESMO 2026 abstract. Preliminary data, not peer-reviewed. Not medical advice. © original authors/ESMO. [Slide 4] Conclusion Giredestrant + everolimus maintained PFS benefit regardless of cTF status The authors report PFS benefit across all ESR1 variants, independent of clonality, and across poor prognostic subgroups (e.g., TP53, GATA3, RB1). Higher cTF was associated with worse prognosis; baseline alterations were consistent with a post-CDK4/6i population. Based on publicly released #ESMO 2026 abstract.

Preliminary data, not peer-reviewed. Not medical advice. © original authors/ESMO. [Slide 2] Methods DESIGN 1:1:1:1:1:1 randomization to 5 years of anastrozole, exemestane or letrozole, given upfront or after 2 years of tamoxifen. POPULATION 3,697 postmenopausal women with HR+ early breast cancer, enrolled March 2007 to July 2012; median age 64. ENDPOINTS Co-primary: DFS for upfront vs switch, and DFS across the three AIs. SECONDARY OS, distant DFS, distant RFS, RFS and breast cancer-free interval, analysed under STEEP 2.0 criteria. Based on publicly released #ESMO 2026 abstract. Preliminary data, not peer-reviewed. Not medical advice. © original authors/ESMO. [Slide 3] Results SCHEDULE Median follow-up 88.9 months; 796 DFS events, 491 deaths. Upfront vs switch: DFS HR 0.95 (95% CI 0.82-1.09); OS HR 0.88 (0.74-1.06). DFS BY AI 10-year DFS 79.1% anastrozole, 76.6% letrozole, 74.2% exemestane (global p=0.028). E vs A p=0.010; E vs L p=0.06; L vs A p=0.51. E VS A Adjusted Cox model stratified by schedule: DFS HR 1.23 (95% CI 1.04-1.46). No statistically significant difference in 10-year OS across AIs (p=0.25)" for precision. TOXICITY More musculoskeletal events upfront, more tamoxifen-related events with switch. More hypercholesterolaemia with non- steroidal AIs. Based on publicly released #ESMO 2026 abstract. Preliminary data, not peer-reviewed. Not medical advice. © original authors/ESMO. [Slide 4] Conclusion No schedule wins, but exemestane trails on DFS Schedule and AI choice should be individualized by tolerability and comorbidities. Pharmaco-economic considerations are advised, since both exemestane and letrozole are nearly twice as expensive as anastrozole in most countries. Based on publicly released #ESMO 2026 abstract.

[Slide 1] OncoAlert360® Oncology For Colleagues By Colleagues ONCOALERT 4SIGHT ESMO 2026 | MADRID 4449RO Paired-biopsy multi-omic analysis reveals target-independent mechanisms of antibody–drug conjugate (ADC) resistance in metastatic breast cancer TO BE PRESENTED AT #ESMO2026 BY: PAOLO TARANTINO, MD DANA-FARBER CANCER INSTITUTE [headshot] [Slide 2] Background Target-Independent Mechanisms of ADC Resistance in MBC: Paired-Biopsy Multi-Omic Analysis Translational study, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute Resistance mechanisms to ADCs remain poorly characterized. This study aimed to define molecular adaptations associated with ADC resistance through integrated multi-omic profiling of paired tumor samples from patients treated with ADCs. Based on publicly released #ESMO 2026 abstract. Preliminary data, not peer-reviewed. Not medical advice. © original authors/ESMO. [Slide 3] Methods COHORT Matched pre-treatment and post-progression biopsies from 26 patients with MBC treated at Dana-Farber. SUBTYPES 35% HER2+ (IHC 3+ or IHC 2+/ISH+), 46% HR+/HER2–, 19% triple-negative. TREATMENT Trastuzumab deruxtecan (n=11), sacituzumab govitecan (n=12), or both (n=3). PROFILING Integrated IHC, mass spectrometry and whole-exome sequencing; selected alterations functionally validated in preclinical models. Based on publicly released #ESMO 2026 abstract. Preliminary data, not peer-reviewed. Not medical advice. © original authors/ESMO. [Slide 4] Results TARGET CHANGES T-DXd: HER2 protein decrease in 8/14 (57%); some HER2 expression retained in all, none became HER2-null. SG: no consistent TROP2 downregulation (5/14 increase, 3/14 decrease). PROTEOMICS In >50% of patients: increased efflux transporters (ABCB1, ABCC1) and changes in DNA damage response (MSH2, MSH6, PRKDC), trafficking (CAV1), glycosylation (MAN2A2) and ferroptosis (HMOX1) proteins. GENOMICS After T-DXd progression: loss of ERBB2 amplification (2 cases); new ABCB1/ABCB4 amplifications (co-amplified in 2) and ABCC1 amplification (1). FUNCTIONAL Several cross-platform hits, including ABC transporter upregulation, showed decreased intracellular payload accumulation and reduced ADC sensitivity; the authors state this supports causality.

ESMO 2026: GI abstracts I’m watching ESMO is a week away so time to post thoughts on studies that will either change practice, move the field forward or are thought provoking! Gut Onc Lab video next week once text is released. BELOW THE BELT AZUR-1: Dostarlimab for dMMR/MSI-H locally advanced rectal cancer (LBA87) When: Sun Oct 25, 11:00 CET. Lower GI Proffered Paper session. What: Stage II/III MSI-H rectal cancer (n=154) treated with dostarlimab alone. My take: This will be positive. Incredibly positive. This is already what I’m doing in clinical practice and is a massive step forward for the 5–10% of rectal cancer patients that are MSI-H. Yay. IROCAS: Adjuvant mFOLFIRINOX vs mFOLFOX6 in high-risk stage III colon cancer (LBA29) When: Sun Oct 25, 10:15 CET. Lower GI Proffered Paper session. What: Phase 3 of adjuvant mFOLFIRINOX vs mFOLFOX6 in T4 and/or N2 stage III colon cancer. My take: Important study, and honestly, it is going to predict if US-CIRCULATE will be positive. If this is negative, CIRCULATE will be a nail-biter. Encorafenib + cetuximab + FOLFIRI beyond progression in BRAF V600E mCRC (788RO) When: Sat Oct 24, 14:50 CEST. Lower GI Rapid Oral session. What: Continuing EC past progression, adding FOLFIRI, in BRAF V600E mCRC. My take: Already doing this in clinical practice with patients who have BRAF+ disease w/o resistance mechanism on ctDNA at progression. Data for its use is HUGELY welcome. CheckMate 8HW: Final overall survival (LBA32) When: Sat Oct 24, 15:42 CEST. Lower GI Rapid Oral session. What: Final OS for nivo/ipi vs nivo vs chemo in MSI-H metastatic CRC. My take: What happens when you do a trial with an agent that essentially cures a disease against another that cures most people? It is a really long damn trial. Excited for the final OS data. Will it be positive? TBD, but I certainly think the magnitude of benefit of dual IO makes it better than single agent, and this data could reinforce that practice. UNION: Short-course RT → camrelizumab + CAPOX in locally advanced rectal cancer (3530O) When: Sun Oct 25, 11:10 CET. Lower GI Proffered Paper session. What: Phase 3 of SCRT → camrelizumab + CAPOX vs long-course CRT → CAPOX in locally advanced rectal cancer. My take: pCR reported at ~40% in 2024, let’s see if more people were cured. Some criticism in changing radiation schedule and adding IO compared to standard, but will set the stage for future studies. EMT2: Omega-3 EPA after resection of colorectal liver metastases (LBA30) When: Sun Oct 25, 10:25 CET. Lower GI Proffered Paper session. What: Phase 3, double-blind, EPA vs placebo after CRLM resection. My take: It’s like fish oil but better. File this in the ALASCCA category of “costs nothing, helps people” if positive. ALASCCA + CHALLENGE ❤️ QTX3034 + cetuximab ± mFOLFOX6 in KRAS G12D CRC (790RO) When: Sat Oct 24, 15:15 CEST. Lower GI Rapid Oral session. What: Early data on an oral G12D-preferring KRAS inhibitor + cetuximab ± mFOLFOX6 in KRAS G12D mCRC. My take: Sick study. Moving us to molecularly driven treatments in earlier line settings for CRC. Where the field MUST move. If this isn’t positive I will eat a hat (a small one, preferably organic). BOT/BAL in the real world: refractory MSS mCRC and advanced sarcoma (905eP, 3771P) When: 905eP is an ePoster available throughout the meeting. 3771P is Mon Oct 26, 12:00 CET, sarcoma poster session. What: Real-world botensilimab + balstilimab in refractory MSS mCRC (AGEO, France) and advanced sarcoma (Spanish expanded access). My take: Gives us a look at Bot Bal in real world. Important data, multiple attempts to use CPI in advanced disease have provided mixed results, what happens when we use stronger agents? Runner-up: Biweekly vs conventional TAS-102 + bevacizumab in refractory mCRC (LBA31) When: Sat Oct 24, 15:37 CEST. Lower GI Rapid Oral session. What: Randomized comparison of biweekly vs standard-schedule TAS-102 + bev in refractory mCRC. My take: Runner up only because @cathyengmd already convincingly showed this is the dosing schedule we should be using. I already use this in clinical practice. Great to randomize but should be positive. UPPER GI CLARITY-Gastric01 + G-HOPE-001: CLDN18.2 ADCs in pretreated gastric/GEJ cancer (LBA7, LBA77) When: CLARITY-Gastric01 is Sun Oct 25, 17:18 CET, Presidential Symposium II. G-HOPE-001 is Fri Oct 23, 13:30 CEST, Upper GI Proffered Paper session. What: Two phase 3s of CLDN18.2 ADCs vs physician’s choice. Sone-Ve (CLARITY) was positive for OS, and arcotatug tavatecan (G-HOPE) was positive for PFS. My take: The next generation of CLDN18.2 is here. Expect less explosive emesis and improved outcomes. KEYNOTE-975: Pembrolizumab + definitive chemoradiotherapy in esophageal/GEJ cancer (2875O) When: Fri Oct 23, 13:50 CEST. Upper GI Proffered Paper session. What: Phase 3 of pembro vs placebo with definitive chemoradiation in esophageal/GEJ cancer. My take: Merck joins the D-FLOT era for patients still receiving definitive chemoRT. After the CROSS/FLOT study the impact of this is going to be less, but still important for patients receiving definitive chemoRT. HERIZON-GEA-01: Zanidatamab + chemo ± tislelizumab in 1L HER2+ GEA, second interim (LBA79) When: Fri Oct 23, 16:15 CEST. Upper GI Rapid Oral session. What: Second interim of zanidatamab + chemo ± tislelizumab vs trastuzumab + chemo in 1L HER2+ GEA. My take: My practice in HER2+ upper GI/GEA has moved to Zani, will be helpful to see the longer-term outcomes here. SANO: Active surveillance vs surgery after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for esophageal cancer, long-term results (LBA78) When: Fri Oct 23, 13:40 CEST. Upper GI Proffered Paper session. What: Long-term outcomes of active surveillance vs esophagectomy after nCRT in esophageal cancer. My take: People deserve to keep their organs. Our ability to offer this only improves when we layer in tools like ctDNA. Interested in what we can extrapolate to other organ systems (especially for MSI-H). PANCREAS RASolute 302: Daraxonrasib vs chemotherapy in previously treated mPDAC, subgroup analyses (LBA82) When: Fri Oct 23, 14:22 CEST. Upper GI Proffered Paper session. What: Additional subgroup analyses from the phase 3 of daraxonrasib vs chemo in 2L+ metastatic PDAC. My take: Everyone benefited. G12V more than others. Maybe there will be another standing ovation? Come for the science, stay for the clapping. AMPLIFY-7P: mKRAS vaccine ELI-002 7P vs observation in resected PDAC (LBA83) When: Fri Oct 23, 14:32 CEST. Upper GI Proffered Paper session. What: Randomized phase 2 of an off-the-shelf mKRAS vaccine vs observation after PDAC resection. It missed its DFS endpoint. My take: Vaccine therapies are the next frontier. Merck has pushed them forward in Melanoma where they are an amazing success, very interested in the randomized data here. Even if negative it will be critical data to learn from. HCC / BILIARY HARMONi-GI1: Ivonescimab vs durvalumab + GemCis in 1L biliary tract cancer (LBA8) When: Sun Oct 25, 17:42 CET. Presidential Symposium II. What: China-only phase 3 of a PD-1/VEGF bispecific vs durvalumab, both with GemCis. It was positive for OS. My take: PD-1/VEGF emerges in GI. Let’s see the benefit. China only. ACTICCA-1: Adjuvant gemcitabine + cisplatin after resected biliary tract cancer (LBA21) When: Sat Oct 24, 10:25 CEST. Upper GI Proffered Paper session. What: Phase 3 of adjuvant GemCis vs standard of care (capecitabine) after resection of cholangiocarcinoma or gallbladder cancer. My take: Might immediately change the standard of care for resected BTC. Worth tuning in for. @TheGutOncLab @Onco_Nexus @OncoAlert @oncodaily

[Slide 1] 3136RO - Randomised phase II study of mFOLFIRINOX ± SBRT in patients with high risk, borderline resectable or locally advanced pancreatic cancer: Results of the AGITG MASTERPLAN trial Speakers Andrew Oar (Southport, Australia) Lecture Time 17:14 - 17:19 Abstract Background Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) delivers high-dose, precision radiotherapy (RT). Despite advances in chemotherapy (CT) for pancreatic cancer (PC), locoregional recurrences (LRR) are frequent and contribute to morbidity/mortality. Methods Eligible pts had operable disease with ≥1 high risk feature (>4 cm, extrapancreatic extension, or node positive), or BRPC, or LAPC. High-risk operable and BRPC pts were classified as potentially operable PC (POPC), while LAPC/medically inoperable pts as inoperable PC (IPC). Staging followed AGITG guidelines with central radiology review. CT was clinician choice: mFOLFIRINOX or gem/nab-paclitaxel. Pts were randomised 2:1 to 3mths of CT+SBRT (I) or to 3mths CT alone (C). SBRT was 40Gy in 5 fractions with fiducial marker guidance and real time RT quality assurance. After CT±SBRT, pts were evaluated for surgery. Following resection pts received 3mths adjuvant CT. Pts unsuitable for resection, continued CT for further 3mths. The primary endpoint was 12mth LRR. Secondary endpoints included resection rate, margin status, toxicity per CTCAE (v5.0), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Results Across 14 sites 75 pts were enrolled with 1 ineligible, including 48 POPC and 26 IPC. 12mth LRR rates were 20.2 % (95% CI: 9.9-33.2%) v 52.0% (95% CI: 30.3-69.9%) in I and C respectively (p=0.022).

CROSS vs FLOT in Resectable GEJ Adenocarcinoma — What Does ESMO 2026 Say? The treatment landscape is changing. 🔹 ESOPEC: FLOT demonstrated superior median OS compared with CROSS — 66 vs 37 months (HR 0.70). 🔹 MATTERHORN: Adding durvalumab to perioperative FLOT improved survival, establishing D-FLOT as the preferred option for eligible gastric/GEJ patients where available. 🔹 CROSS: Remains relevant when patients are unsuitable for FLOT. 🔹 Important: No direct randomised comparison of D-FLOT versus CROSS. The takeaway: FLOT changed the choice. Durvalumab has taken the FLOT-based strategy further. 📖 Reference: Al-Batran SE et al. ESMO Clinical Practice Guideline: Gastric and Oesophageal Cancer.

[Slide 1] Rapid Oral session 2878RO - FOLFIRI plus ramucirumab versus paclitaxel plus ramucirumab as second-line therapy for taxane-pretreated patients with advanced or metastatic gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma-Final results of the phase III IKFs602/AIO RAMIRIS Study Speakers Sylvie Lorenzen (Munich, Germany) Lecture Time 16:47 - 16:52 Abstract Background Ramucirumab (Ram) as monotherapy or plus paclitaxel is approved as 2nd-line treatment for advanced gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA). Many patients (pts) are pretreated with a taxane in previous lines, these may benefit from a non-cross resistant chemotherapy backbone regimen which was indicated by results from the phase II part of this trial. Methods This is an international, randomized, investigator initiated, phase II/III trial. Taxane-pretreated pts with GEA who have progressed after a fluoropyrimidine/platinum-containing regimen were randomized 1:1 to either FOLFIRI plus Ram q2w (Arm A) or paclitaxel (d 1, 8, 15 q28d) plus Ram q2w (Arm B). Co-primary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and objective overall response rate (ORR), further endpoints included DCR, PFS, quality of life and safety. Efficacy was assessed in the intention-to-treat (ITT) population. Results 319 pts were enrolled between 2019 and 2024 and 317 analyzed within ITT (Arm A, 158; Arm B, 159; median age 60 years, 76% male). There was no significant difference in median OS (A, 8.7 vs. B, 7.5 mo, HR 0.95, p=.33, median FU A, 52, B, 31 mo) and ORR (A, 25.3% vs. B, 22.6%, p=.29 ). Median PFS was longer in Arm A with 5.5 vs. B, 3.7 mo (HR 0.7, p=.003) and DCR was A, 64% and B, 61%. Combination of Ram and FOLFIRI was not associated with more grade 3-5 adverse events in Arm A vs. B (70% vs. 68% of safety population N=304). Most common grade 3/4 adverse events included neutropenia (A, 17%, B, 12%), hypertension (A, 10%, B, 8%), anemia (A, B, 6%), and lung infection (A, 3%, B, 6%). 47% of the pts in Arm A and 55% in Arm B had at least one serious adverse event. Conclusions The RAMIRIS trial demonstrated feasibility of the combination of FOLFIRI and Ram. The co-primary endpoints were not met, however, PFS was clearly improved and trends towards a benefit of Ram/FOLFIRI regarding all other efficacy endpoints were seen. These findings support the personalization of treatment decisions in pts with taxane-pretreated advanced GEA after failure of standard therapy. More data will be presented at the meeting.

[Slide 1] Abstract Proffered Paper session LBA78 - Active surveillance versus standard surgery after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for oesophageal cancer: Long-term results of a cluster-randomised controlled trial (SANO) Speakers Sanjiv S. Gangaram-Panday (Rotterdam, Netherlands) Lecture Time 13:40 - 13:50 Abstract Background The Surgery As Needed for Oesophageal cancer (SANO)-trial demonstrated that active surveillance is non-inferior to standard surgery in terms of two-year overall survival in patients with a complete clinical response after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT). Active surveillance resulted in improved quality of life. Here, we report 5-year outcomes. [Slide 2] Methods From 2017 to 2021, a multicentre stepped-wedge cluster-randomised non-inferiority trial was conducted. Patients with locally advanced oesophageal cancer who achieved complete clinical response (defined as no tumour detected on endoscopic biopsies, -ultrasound, or PET-CT) underwent active surveillance or standard surgery. Cox regression was used to compare 5-year overall and disease-free survival, and the cumulative incidence of distant metastases was estimated using competing risk analysis. [Slide 3] Results A total of 309 patients were included, 198 underwent active surveillance and 111 underwent standard surgery. Median follow-up was 76 months (IQR 67–86). Five-year overall survival was not statistically significantly different between active surveillance and standard surgery (50%, 95%CI 34-57 vs. 54%, 95%CI 46-64; HR 1.17, 95%CI 0.77-1.77) with similar results across histologic subtypes. Disease-free survival was not statistically significantly different (HR 1.39, 95% CI 0.94-2.06). The cumulative incidence of distant metastases at five years was significantly higher in the active surveillance group compared to the standard surgery group (46%, 95%CI 39-53 vs. 29%, 95%CI 21-37; P<.01). Overall, 85 of 198 patients (43%) were spared non-beneficial oesophagectomy, including those with sustained complete clinical response at last follow-up or distant metastases detected within six months after nCRT. Conclusions Overall survival at 5 years is not statistically significantly different between active surveillance and standard surgery in patients with oesophageal cancer and a complete clinical response after nCRT, despite a higher incidence of distant metastases in the active surveillance group. These findings support active surveillance as a feasible treatment strategy in these patients.

KEYNOTE-975 | ESMO 2026 More Immunotherapy. No Better Survival. Can adding pembrolizumab to definitive chemoradiotherapy improve outcomes in unresectable esophageal/GEJ cancer? In this phase III trial involving 703 patients, the answer was disappointing. 🔹 EFS (PD-L1 CPS ≥10): 15.2 vs 14.7 months (HR 0.97; P = 0.3994) 🔹 OS (PD-L1 CPS ≥10): 32.2 vs 35.0 months (HR 1.00) 🔹 Grade 5 AEs: 13% vs 10% 🔹 Treatment discontinuation: 34% vs 27% The key message: Adding pembrolizumab did not improve EFS or demonstrate an OS benefit. Even PD-L1 CPS ≥10 failed to identify a benefiting population. More treatment does not necessarily mean better outcomes.

[Slide 1] 2877RO - Watch-and-wait (W&W) strategy for dostarlimab in localized deficient dMMR/MSI-H gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA): Results from the first interim analysis of the GERCOR-GONO DEWI phase II study Speakers Thierry André (Paris, France, CEDEX 12) Lecture Time 16:42 - 16:47 Abstract Background Patients (Pts) with dMMR/MSI-H localized GEA have better survival after surgery and scant/no benefit from chemotherapy. Preoperative immune checkpoint inhibitors demonstrated high rates of pathologic complete response (CR), supporting chemotherapy/surgery-free strategies. DEWI trial evaluates whether surgery can be omitted in Pts achieving clinical CR (cCR), defined as CR on endoscopy with tumor-free biopsies and normal CT imaging after dostarlimab, using a W&W strategy. Methods Pts with localized dMMR/MSI-H GEA, PS 0-1, and clinical stage T2-T4 NxM0 were included and received dostarlimab 500 mg q3w for 4 cycles. An adaptive treatment strategy was defined based on assessment at 12 and 24 weeks (w) according to cCR to decide to continue dostarlimab for 24w with a W&W strategy or to operate. The primary endpoint is the rate of cCR at 1 year (1y-cCR) without GEA surgery, with the objective of demonstrating a 1y-cCR rate >25% (50% expected). Secondary endpoints include survival outcomes and safety. Results Between Jan 2024 and Dec 2025, 60 Pts were included; one was excluded prior to treatment. A planned first interim analysis of the primary endpoint was conducted in the first 24 evaluable Pts for 1y-cCR. The median age was 65 years; 18/6 Pts were male/female, oesogastric junction/stomach in 9/15 Pts. The 1y-cCR rate was 62.5% (15/24), and continuation of enrollment was recommended by the Independent Data Monitoring Committee. No events (relapse or death) occurred in Pts with 1y-cCR with a median follow-up of 16.20 months (95%CI 12.22-17.22). Two events were observed in Pts without 1y-cCR: one metastatic progression and one postoperative death. Overall grade 3-4 dostarlimab-related adverse events occurred in 5 Pts (21%). Nine/24 Pts underwent surgery, all achieving R0 with TNM: yT1N0 (n=2), yT1N1 (n=1), yT3-N1-2 (n=4), and yT4N0 (n=2); TRG (Becker): TRG2 (n=3), TRG 3 (n=6). Three Pts had anastomotic fistula. Conclusions Dostarlimab in Pts with localized dMMR/MSI-H GEA led to a 62.5% 1y-cCR at the first interim analysis, enabling organ preservation. An update on the 60 included Pts is planned for the meeting.

[Slide 1] 3530O - Neoadjuvant short-course radiotherapy followed by camrelizumab and chemotherapy in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC): The phase 3 UNION trial Speakers Zhen Yu Lin (Wuhan, China) Lecture Time 11:10 - 11:20 Abstract Background Despite the use of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, recurrence and distant metastasis remain common in LARC. Effective immunotherapy-based strategies for the predominantly proficient mismatch repair/microsatellite-stable population remain limited. UNION is the first phase 3 trial to evaluate a neoadjuvant strategy incorporating radiotherapy, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy in LARC. Here we present the prespecified event-free survival (EFS) analysis. Methods Patients with cT3-4 or N+ rectal adenocarcinoma (tumor located ≤10 cm from the anal verge) were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive short-course radiotherapy (SCRT; 25 Gy/5f; experimental group) or long-course chemoradiotherapy (50.4 Gy/28f with concurrent capecitabine 825 mg/m2 twice daily; standard of care group) followed by 2 neoadjuvant cycles and 6 adjuvant cycles of capecitabine and oxaliplatin (CAPOX). The experimental group additionally received neoadjuvant and adjuvant camrelizumab (200 mg, day 1) since CAPOX treatment for up to 17 cycles. The primary endpoint was blinded independent review committee (BIRC)-assessed pathological complete response rate. Key secondary endpoints with prespecified α allocation were investigator-assessed EFS and overall survival. Results Between July 2021 and March 2023, 231 patients were randomized to the experimental group (n=113) and standard of care group (n=118). As of October 1, 2025, the median follow-up duration was 36.8 months (95% CI, 34.8-37.8) and 35.6 months (95% CI, 34.3-36.9), respectively. The 3-year EFS rate was significantly higher in the experimental group compared with standard of care (91.3% [95% CI, 83.9-95.4] vs 77.4% [95% CI, 67.9-84.4], hazard ratio=0.33 [95% CI, 0.15-0.71], P=0.0029). BIRC-assessed EFS consistently favored the experimental group. During the whole treatment period, the incidence of grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse events was 51.3% (59/115) and 48.2% (54/112), respectively. Conclusions UNION is the first phase 3 trial to demonstrate a significant improvement in EFS with an immunotherapy-based regimen in LARC. This neoadjuvant strategy represents a new standard of care.

[Slide 1] Proffered Paper session LBA82 - Daraxonrasib, a RAS(ON) multi-selective inhibitor vs chemotherapy in previously treated metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma (mPDAC): Additional subgroup analyses from the ph3 RASolute 302 study Speakers Zev A. Wainberg (Los Angeles, United States of America) Lecture Time 14:22 - 14:32 Abstract Background Multiagent systemic chemo offers limited benefit in mPDAC. Aberrant RAS(ON) signaling drives PDAC; >90% of cases harbor mutant (mut) RAS, and RAS WT PDAC remains dependent on RAS pathway signaling. Daraxonrasib is an oral, RAS(ON) multi-selective, tri-complex inhibitor of active, GTP-bound mut and WT RAS. Daraxonrasib significantly improved OS and PFS vs SOC chemo in pts with previously treated mPDAC overall (with or without an identified tumor RAS mut; mOS 13.2 vs 6.7 mo; HR, 0.40; mPFS 7.2 vs 3.6 mo; HR, 0.49) and in pts with RAS G12 mut mPDAC (OS HR, 0.40; PFS HR, 0.45) with manageable safety in the RASolute 302 primary analysis (NCT06625320). We report additional subgroup analyses from RASolute 302. [Slide 2] OS in subgroups | | n (%) Daraxonrasib n=248 | Chemo n=252 | OS HR (95% CI) | Tumor RAS mut status | G12D | 95 (38) | 121 (48) | 0.49 (0.33-0.74) | | G12V | 102 (41) | 76 (30) | 0.32 (0.19-0.54) | | G12R | 30 (12) | 31 (12) | 0.61 (0.29-1.30) | | RAS Q61 | 11 (4) | 11 (4) | 0.37 (0.09-1.44) | | No RAS mut identified | 9 (4) | 7 (3) | 0.43 (0.09-1.98) | Conclusions Daraxonrasib demonstrated OS benefit vs chemo across clinically relevant subgroups including pts with or without an identified tumor RAS mut. Directionally consistent OS benefit across these subgroups further reinforces the potential for daraxonrasib to be a new SOC for eligible pts with mPDAC. [Slide 3] Methods Pts with previously treated mPDAC were randomized 1:1 to daraxonrasib 300 mg PO QD or investigator's choice of SOC chemo (GnP, mFOLFIRINOX, Nal-IRI+5-FU/LV, or FOLFOX). Dual primary endpoints (EPs) were OS and PFS in the RAS G12 mut population; key secondary EPs included OS and PFS in the overall population. Additional analyses evaluated OS in clinically relevant subgroups by locally determined tumor RAS mut status, preselected chemo regimen, and disease setting of prior treatment. Results At data cutoff (10 Feb 2026), median follow-up was 8.5 mo (range, 3.2-15.9). OS benefit with daraxonrasib vs chemo was observed across all RAS mut subgroups (Table). Daraxonrasib showed a consistent OS treatment effect across preselected chemo subgroups (HRs, 0.32-0.46). OS data by disease setting of prior treatment will also be presented. Table: LBA82

[Slide 1] 2879RO - Durvalumab plus definitive chemoradiotherapy versus definitive chemoradiotherapy in patients with locally advanced esophagus carcinoma: ARION PRODIGE 67 randomized phase 2 trial Speakers Marie-Anouchka Modesto (Toulouse, France) Lecture Time 17:09 - 17:14 Abstract Background In locally advanced or unresectable esophageal cancer, definitive chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is the standard of care (SoC) combining radiotherapy with platinum-based chemotherapy, resulting in a 2-year disease-free survival of 25%, which remains an unmet medical need. As immune checkpoint inhibitors increase survival in the metastatic setting, a multicentric, this open-label, comparative phase II ARION trial was designed to assess efficacy and safety of PD1/PDL1 blockade by durvalumab (D) added to SoC. Methods Patients (pts) ≥18 years old, WHO performance status ≤1, non-metastatic, locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) or unresectable adenocarcinoma (ADK), (stratified by tumor stage, histology, centers) were randomized between arm A with 12 monthly 1500 mg (D) infusions added to SoC (IMRT 50 Gy/25 daily fractions over 5 weeks) and 6 cycles of FOLFOX regimen: oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2, Leucovorin 200 mg/m2, 5-FU 400 mg/m2 bolus then continuous 2400 mg/m2 over 46 h) or arm B (SoC). Primary endpoint was centrally reviewed progression-free survival (cPFS). Overall survival (OS), PFS and safety were secondary endpoints. 74 cPFS events were required to detect a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.55 with 90% power (10% one-sided alpha). Results Between May 2019 and May 2024, 112 pts were randomized (Arm A: SoC + D, n=58 / Arm B: SoC, n=54) in 13 French sites. Analysis was performed after a 24-month follow-up. Median age was 67 years, 68% were male, 77% were SCC, 70% had nodal extension. There was no significant difference between arms for cPFS, PFS and OS (table). Treatment-related adverse events (AE) were higher in arm A. Grade ≥ 3 AE rates were similar in both arms. Table: 2879RO | | Arm A (exp) 12-month rate [95%CI] | Arm B (SoC) 12-month rate [95%CI] | Adjusted HR* [95%CI] [80%CI] | 1-sided p-value | | cPFS | 48.6% [34.6; 61.3] | 48.9% [34.7; 61.7] | 0.91 [0.55; 1.49] [0.66; 1.25] | 0.351 | | PFS | 50.1% [36.2; 62.5] | 48.1% [33.7; 61.2] | 0.92 [0.56; 1.50] [0.67; 1.27] | 0.369 | | OS | 75.1% [61.6; 84.4] | 67.9% [53.6; 78.7] | 0.99 [0.59; 1.68] [0.70; 1.40] | 0.489 | *for Histological subtype, Stage Conclusions In this indication, Durvalumab with CRT compared to SoC did not improve PFS. There was no new safety signal. Longer survival, follow-up and predictive factors for treatment efficacy will be presented.

Non-Metastatic ESCC: Choosing the Curative Path 📌 Based on the ESMO 2026 Clinical Practice Guideline • Superficial, low-risk disease: endoscopic resection may be curative. • Locally advanced, resectable and fit: CROSS → surgery. • Residual disease after CRT + R0 surgery: nivolumab for 1 year. • Unresectable, unfit or declines surgery: definitive CRT; often preferred for cervical ESCC. 🔴 Clinical complete response after CROSS: this guideline still recommends surgery. Routine immunotherapy after definitive CRT remains unestablished. Take-home: Stage, location, fitness and MDT assessment determine the curative pathway. Reference: Al-Batran et al.

[Slide 1] Proffered Paper session 2875O - Pembrolizumab or placebo plus concurrent definitive chemoradiotherapy in esophageal and gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer: The phase 3 randomized KEYNOTE-975 study Speakers Manish A. Shah (New York, United States of America) Lecture Time 13:50 - 14:00 Abstract Background The role of immunotherapy in participants (pts) with locally advanced, esophageal cancer (EC) treated with definitive chemoradiotherapy (dCRT) is not established. KEYNOTE-975 (NCT04210115) is an international phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo (pbo) controlled multicenter study that examines dCRT ± pembro in pts with previously untreated locally advanced unresectable esophageal and GEJ cancer. We report results from the second interim analysis (IA2). Methods Eligible pts with histologically confirmed cTX N+ M0 or cT2-T4a NX M0 esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC) or adenocarcinoma (EAC) or GEJ cancer, or cTX N+ M1 cervical or upper thoracic EC with supraclavicular lymph node metastases only, ECOG PS 0-1, and who were ineligible for curative surgery but suitable for dCRT, were randomized 1:1 to 200 mg pembro or pbo Q3W for 8 cycles then 400 mg pembro or pbo Q6W for 5 cycles + site choice of dCRT (5-fluorouracil + cisplatin [FP] with radiotherapy [RT] 50 Gy or 60 Gy, or FOLFOX with RT 50 Gy). Dual-primary endpoints were event-free survival (EFS) by investigator and OS in pts with PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS) ≥10, CPS ≥1, and all pts. Data cut-off was Jan 21, 2026. Results A total of 703 pts were randomized (349 pembro + dCRT; 354 pbo + dCRT). Median follow-up was 47.1 mo (range, 21.7-70.2) in all pts. At IA2, in pts with PD-L1 CPS ≥10, EFS was not improved with pembro + dCRT vs pbo + dCRT (median 15.2 vs 14.7 mo; HR 0.97; 95% CI, 0.77-1.23 [P=0.3994; P-value boundary for significance 0.0193]). In pts with PD-L1 CPS ≥10, median OS was 32.2 mo vs 35.0 mo (HR 1.00; 95% CI, 0.77-1.30 [nominal P-value 0.5003]). As EFS was not positive in PD-L1 CPS ≥10, EFS in PD-L1 CPS ≥1 and all pts, and OS were not tested for statistical significance, and the study was stopped. Grade ≥3 AEs occurred in 100% of pts in each arm, with grade 5 AEs in 44 (13%) vs 37 (10%) pts. Discontinuation due to any AE occurred in 117 (34%) vs 97 (27%) pts. Conclusions Pembrolizumab + dCRT vs pbo + dCRT did not significantly improve EFS in untreated unresectable esophageal or GEJ cancer with PD-L1 CPS ≥10. No new safety signals were observed.

[Slide 1] Can SBRT Improve Pancreatic Cancer Outcomes? MV Onco 01 - THE CLINICAL QUESTION Chemotherapy treats systemic disease. But local recurrence remains common. Can adding SBRT improve outcomes? 02 - WHO WAS STUDIED? 74 eligible patients | 14 centres • High-risk operable pancreatic cancer • Borderline-resectable disease • Locally advanced / inoperable disease 03 - RANDOMISED 2:1 SBRT ARM - 49 patients: 3 months chemotherapy → SBRT: 40 Gy / 5 fractions CONTROL - 25 patients: 3 months chemotherapy → No planned SBRT 04 - WHICH CHEMOTHERAPY? • Predominantly mFOLFIRINOX (~90%) • Alternative: Gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel 05 - WHAT WAS MEASURED? Primary endpoint: Locoregional recurrence at 12 months Secondary endpoints: PFS • OS • Surgery • Toxicity BOTTOM TAKE-HOME MASTERPLAN tested whether adding just 5 fractions of SBRT could improve outcomes beyond chemotherapy alone. [Slide 2] Did SBRT Really Improve Local Control? MV Onco 01 - PRIMARY ENDPOINT Locoregional recurrence at 12 months (lower is better) SBRT + chemotherapy: 20.2% Chemotherapy alone: 52.0% p = 0.022 Absolute reduction: 31.8 percentage points 02 - POTENTIALLY OPERABLE High-risk operable + borderline-resectable (lower is better) SBRT: 19.7% Control: 52.9% p = 0.031 Significant improvement in local control. 03 - INOPERABLE DISEASE Locally advanced / medically inoperable (lower is better) SBRT: 21.4% Control: 50.0% p = 0.16 Numerically better, but not statistically significant. 04 - WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? • Adding SBRT reduced locoregional recurrence. • The overall primary endpoint was met. • Subgroup results need cautious interpretation. BOTTOM TAKE-HOME SBRT significantly improved 12-month locoregional control - but does better local control translate into longer survival? [Slide 3] Did SBRT Improve Survival? MV Onco 01 - OVERALL SURVIVAL Median OS SBRT: 22 months Control: 14 months P = 0.006 8-month longer median survival. 02 - PROGRESSION-FREE SURVIVAL Median PFS SBRT: 11.9 months Control: 6.3 months P = 0.002 5.6-month improvement. 03 - DID MORE PATIENTS UNDERGO SURGERY? Among potentially operable patients: Resection: 68% vs 59% R0 among resected: 62% vs 40% Neither difference was stattistically significant. 04 - WHAT ABOUT TOXICITY? Grade ≥3 adverse events: SBRT: 70.2% Control: 64.0% P = 0.27 No stattistically significant difference. BOTTOM TAKE-HOME SBRT improved PFS and showed an encouraging OS signal. But this was a small phase II trial. [Slide 4] Is SBRT Ready to Change Practice? MV Onco 01 - WHY IS MASTERPLAN IMPORTANT? • Randomized phase II trial. • Better local control. • Encouraging PFS and OS signals. • But only 74 eligible patients. 02 - WHAT ABOUT ALLIANCE A021501? • Alliance A021501: Adding hypofractionated radiation after mFOLFIRINOX did not improve outcomes. • MASTERPLAN: SBRT improved local control, with encouraging survival results. • Different trials. Different populations. • Direct comparison is inappropriate. 03 - WHAT ARE THE LIMITATIONS? • Small phase II study. • Mixed resectability groups. • Only 80% started assigned SBRT. • OS was a secondary endpoint. • Phase III confirmation is needed. 04 - SHOULD PRACTICE CHANGE TODAY? • Not routinely. • Consider SBRT selectively after MDT discussion. • Patient selection remains crucial. • Await mature data and larger trials. BOTTOM TAKE-HOME • MASTERPLAN strengthens the case for SBRT in selected pancreatic cancer patients. • Promising evidence ≠ New standard of care.

[Slide 1] Proffered Paper session 3530O - Neoadjuvant short-course radiotherapy followed by camrelizumab and chemotherapy in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC): The phase 3 UNION trial Speakers Zhen Yu Lin (Wuhan, China) Lecture Time 11:10 - 11:20 Abstract Background Despite the use of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, recurrence and distant metastasis remain common in LARC. Effective immunotherapy-based strategies for the predominantly proficient mismatch repair/microsatellite-stable population remain limited. UNION is the first phase 3 trial to evaluate a neoadjuvant strategy incorporating radiotherapy, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy in LARC. Here we present the prespecified event-free survival (EFS) analysis. Methods Patients with cT3-4 or N+ rectal adenocarcinoma (tumor located ≤10 cm from the anal verge) were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive short-course radiotherapy (SCRT; 25 Gy/5f; experimental group) or long-course chemoradiotherapy (50.4 Gy/28f with concurrent capecitabine 825 mg/m² twice daily; standard of care group) followed by 2 neoadjuvant cycles and 6 adjuvant cycles of capecitabine and oxaliplatin (CAPOX). The experimental group additionally received neoadjuvant and adjuvant camrelizumab (200 mg, day 1) since CAPOX treatment for up to 17 cycles. The primary endpoint was blinded independent review committee (BIRC)-assessed pathological complete response rate. Key secondary endpoints with prespecified α allocation were investigator-assessed EFS and overall survival. Results Between July 2021 and March 2023, 231 patients were randomized to the experimental group (n=113) and standard of care group (n=118). As of October 1, 2025, the median follow-up duration was 36.8 months (95% CI, 34.8-37.8) and 35.6 months (95% CI, 34.3-36.9), respectively. The 3-year EFS rate was significantly higher in the experimental group compared with standard of care (91.3% [95% CI, 83.9-95.4] vs 77.4% [95% CI, 67.9-84.4], hazard ratio=0.33 [95% CI, 0.15-0.71], P=0.0029). BIRC-assessed EFS consistently favored the experimental group. During the whole treatment period, the incidence of grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse events was 51.3% (59/115) and 48.2% (54/112), respectively. Conclusions UNION is the first phase 3 trial to demonstrate a significant improvement in EFS with an immunotherapy-based regimen in LARC. This neoadjuvant strategy represents a new standard of care.

[Slide 1] Proffered Paper session LBA77 - Arcotatug tavatecan (IBI343/TAK-921) versus treatment of physician's choice (TPC) in previously treated, advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (G/GEJA): First interim analysis of the randomized, open-label, phase 3, G-HOPE-001 study Speakers Kohei Shitara (Kashiwa, Japan, Chiba) Lecture Time 13:30 - 13:40 [Abstract] Background Arcotatug tavatecan is a novel CLDN18.2-targeted ADC comprising an Fc-silenced antibody designed to reduce on target, off-tumor toxicity and conjugated to an exatecan-derived TOPO I inhibitor payload for selective delivery to tumor cells. Here, we report the prespecified first interim analysis (IA1) of the G-HOPE-001 study. [Slide 2] Results In IA1, 408 pts from China and Japan (male: 62.0%, median age: 58.0, ECOG PS 1: 71.6%, primary tumor at stomach: 81.6%, primary tumor resection: 43.6%) were randomized to arcotatug tavatecan (N=203) and TPC (N=205) arms. IRRC-assessed median PFS was 5.5 months vs 2.9 months (HR: 0.47 [95% CI: 0.34-0.65], p-value <0.0001). With 34.8% of events, median OS was 9.9 months vs 7.4 months (HR: 0.63 [95% CI: 0.45-0.89]). IRRC-assessed ORR was 23.6% in arcotatug tavatecan and 5.3% in TPC. Grade ≥3 (G3+) TEAEs occurred in 45.8% pts with arcotatug tavatecan vs 57.9% pts with TPC. Common gastrointestinal TEAEs (≥10%) with arcotatug tavatecan vs TPC were nausea (38.9% vs 40.6%), vomiting (22.2% vs 28.4%) and diarrhea (12.8% vs 34.5%). Interstitial lung disease was not observed. TRAEs leading to treatment discontinuation occurred in 1.0% of pts in each arm. No TRAE led to death. Conclusions Arcotatug tavatecan demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in PFS with a manageable safety profile versus TPC for CLDN18.2+ G/GEJA in the 3L+ setting. OS results will be evaluated at the prespecified IA2. [Slide 3] Methods Patients (pts) with unresectable or metastatic G/GEJA, CLDN18.2 IHC ≥2+ in ≥75% of tumor cells who had progressed on 2-4 prior regimens were randomized 1:1 to arcotatug tavatecan 6mg/kg Q3W or TPC (irinotecan, paclitaxel or trifluridine/tipiracil) until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Stratification factors were regions, primary tumor site and prior gastrectomy. Primary endpoints were IRRC-assessed PFS per RECIST v1.1 and OS. The prespecified IA1 included the PFS final analysis and an OS futility analysis, with a data cutoff of February 13, 2026.

#ESMO26 | 788RO ECLYPse: Ph2 EC beyond progression in combination with FOLFIRI in BRAF V600E mCRC @myESMO @OncoAlert https://t.co/SPahzMo1m0

[Slide 1] Rapid Oral session 788RO - Encorafenib plus cetuximab (EC) beyond progression in combination with FOLFIRI in BRAF V600E metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients (pts) progressing on EC: Results from the ECLYPse phase II trial Speakers Maria Alessandra Calegari (Rome, Italy) Lecture Time 14:50 - 14:55 Abstract Background There is an unmet need for effective treatments in pts with BRAF V600E mCRC progressing on targeted therapy. ECLYPse was designed to address this issue based on two key premises: first, the hypothesis that due to intratumoral heterogeneity at progression, a disease subset may remain sensitive to EC; and second, the evidence of a synergistic activity of targeted agents in combination with chemotherapy (Cht) in first-line setting. Methods ECLYPse (NCT06640166) is a multicenter, single-arm, phase II study evaluating EC continuation beyond progression (E 300 mg daily, C 500mg/m2 i.v. every 2 weeks) in combination with FOLFIRI in pts with BRAF V600E mCRC progressing on second-line EC. The primary endpoint was investigator-assessed 6-month PFS rate in the ITT population. The study design (single-stage, α=0.05, 80% power) required enrolling 25 patients and observing ≥7 patients alive without progression at 6 months to reject the null hypothesis (H0: 6-month PFS ≤10%). Secondary endpoints included OS and safety. Results Between June 12, 2024 and April 15, 2026, 25 patients were enrolled. Main pts' characteristics were: men 68%, median age 65 yrs (range 37–84 yrs), ECOG PS 0 68%, right-sided primary tumor 64%, synchronous metastases 72%, peritoneal metastases 64%, liver metastases 64%, pMMR tumor 92%. As of May 8, 2026, with a median follow-up of 7.6 months, 14 disease progression events were observed. The investigator-assessed 6-month PFS rate was 69.5% (95% CI, 51.7–93.6%), and the mPFS was 7.1 months (95% CI, 6.2–NE months). Median OS was not reached; 6- and 12-month OS rates were 94.1% (95% CI, 83.6–100%) and 83.7% (95% CI, 64.5–100%), respectively. No new safety signal were observed, with adverse events occurring with the expected frequency and grade. Conclusions ECLYPse met its primary endpoint, with about two-thirds of the pts progression-free at 6 months. Continuing EC beyond progression on second-line plus Cht appears to extend disease control in this poor-prognosis population. These findings may serve as a pathfinder to guide future research in the post-BREAKWATER era and help identify the optimal therapeutic strategy.

[Slide 1] Rapid Oral session 787RO - Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA)-guided re-treatment (re-tx) with encorafenib and cetuximab (EC) in patients (pts) with chemorefractory BRAFV600E mutated metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC): The proof-of-concept single arm phase II BRICKET trial by GONO Speakers Marco Maria Germani (Pisa, Italy) Lecture Time 14:45 - 14:50 Abstract Background Current therapies for BRAFV600E-mutant mCRC after progression (PD) to EC are modestly effective. Resistance is largely driven by genomic alterations that can potentially decay after EC withdrawal, providing a rationale for ctDNA-guided EC re-tx. Methods BRICKET (NCT06578559) is a proof-of-concept single arm phase II trial where BRAFV600E mut mCRC pts who achieved disease control for ≥ 6 months (mos) with previous EC and then experienced PD underwent centralized ctDNA analysis (GUARDANT360 CDx, Guardant Health) after failure of one intervening EC-free line of therapy. Only pts with BRAFV600E mutation (mut), and no KRAS, NRAS, MAP2K1 mut and MET amplification (ampl) in their ctDNA were eligible. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR). With an ORR of 0.05 for p0 (null hypothesis) and 0.25 for p1 (alternative hypothesis), and 2-sided-α and β errors of 0.05 and 0.20, 16 pts were required and p0 could be rejected if ≥ 3 had an objective response. Results Between August 2024 and December 2025, 30 pts underwent molecular screening and ctDNA was successfully detected in 29 cases (96.7%). One or more resistance alterations were found in 11 (37.9%) of them, being KRAS mut (N=17), NRAS mut (N=3) and MET ampl (N=2) the most frequent. In other 2 pts (6.9%), BRAFV600E mut was not detectable. 14 (87.5%) out of 16 enrolled pts had received previous EC without concomitant chemotherapy and 13 (81.3%) were re-treated after the 3rd line. No objective responses were reported. 6 pts (37.5%) had disease stabilization, lasting a median of 2.9 mos (95% CI: 1.0 – not assessable). All pts experienced PD and 11 (68.8%) died, resulting in median PFS and OS of 2.9 (95% CI: 2.0 – 3.4) and 9.1 mos (95% CI: 4.0 – 13.0), respectively. No new safety signals were observed. Conclusions EC re-tx did not show signals of activity in BRAFV600E-mutant mCRC pts without common genomic drivers of resistance to EC in their ctDNA. Whether pts treated upfront with chemotherapy plus EC as per current guidelines, potentially less likely to develop genomic resistance, may benefit from ctDNA-guided EC re-tx, could be object of future studies.

[Slide 1] Background The Surgery As Needed for Oesophageal cancer (SANO)-trial demonstrated that active surveillance is non-inferior to standard surgery in terms of two-year overall survival in patients with a complete clinical response after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT). Active surveillance resulted in improved quality of life. Here, we report 5-year outcomes. Methods From 2017 to 2021, a multicentre stepped-wedge cluster-randomised non-inferiority trial was conducted. Patients with locally advanced oesophageal cancer who achieved complete clinical response (defined as no tumour detected on endoscopic biopsies, -ultrasound, or PET-CT) underwent active surveillance or standard surgery. Cox regression was used to compare 5-year overall and disease-free survival, and the cumulative incidence of distant metastases was estimated using competing risk analysis. Results A total of 309 patients were included, 198 underwent active surveillance and 111 underwent standard surgery. Median follow-up was 76 months (IQR 67–86). Five-year overall survival was not statistically significantly different between active surveillance and standard surgery (50%, 95%CI 34-57 vs. 54%, 95%CI 46-64; HR 1.17, 95%CI 0.77-1.77) with similar results across histologic subtypes. Disease-free survival was not statistically significantly different (HR 1.39, 95% CI 0.94-2.06). The cumulative incidence of distant metastases at five years was significantly higher in the active surveillance group compared to the standard surgery group (46%, 95%CI 39-53 vs. 29%, 95%CI 21-37; P<.01). Overall, 85 of 198 patients (43%) were spared non-beneficial oesophagectomy, including those with sustained complete clinical response at last follow-up or distant metastases detected within six months after nCRT. Conclusions Overall survival at 5 years is not statistically significantly different between active surveillance and standard surgery in patients with oesophageal cancer and a complete clinical response after nCRT, despite a higher incidence of distant metastases in the active surveillance group. These findings support active surveillance as a feasible treatment strategy in these patients.

Methods Patients (pts) with unresectable or metastatic G/GEJA, CLDN18.2 IHC ≥2+ in ≥75% of tumor cells who had progressed on 2-4 prior regimens were randomized 1:1 to arcotatug tavatecan 6mg/kg Q3W or TPC (irinotecan, paclitaxel or trifluridine/tipiracil) until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Stratification factors were regions, primary tumor site and prior gastrectomy. Primary endpoints were IRRC-assessed PFS per RECIST v1.1 and OS. The prespecified IA1 included the PFS final analysis and an OS futility analysis, with a data cutoff of February 13, 2026. Results In IA1, 408 pts from China and Japan (male: 62.0%, median age: 58.0, ECOG PS 1: 71.6%, primary tumor at stomach: 81.6%, primary tumor resection: 43.6%) were randomized to arcotatug tavatecan (N=203) and TPC (N=205) arms. IRRC-assessed median PFS was 5.5 months vs 2.9 months (HR: 0.47 [95% CI: 0.34-0.65], p-value <0.0001). With 34.8% of events, median OS was 9.9 months vs 7.4 months (HR: 0.63 [95% CI: 0.45-0.89]). IRRC-assessed ORR was 23.6% in arcotatug tavatecan and 5.3% in TPC. Grade ≥3 (G3+) TEAEs occurred in 45.8% pts with arcotatug tavatecan vs 57.9% pts with TPC. Common gastrointestinal TEAEs (≥10%) with arcotatug tavatecan vs TPC were nausea (38.9% vs 40.6%), vomiting (22.2% vs 28.4%) and diarrhea (12.8% vs 34.5%). Interstitial lung disease was not observed. TRAEs leading to treatment discontinuation occurred in 1.0% of pts in each arm. No TRAE led to death. Conclusions Arcotatug tavatecan demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in PFS with a manageable safety profile versus TPC for CLDN18.2+ G/GEJA in the 3L+ setting. OS results will be evaluated at the prespecified IA2.

Broad RAS inhibition. Major survival gain. [Slide 2] RASolute 302 | ESMO 2026 | LBA82 Part 1 – Has Daraxonrasib Doubled Survival in Pancreatic Cancer? MV Onco 01 THE CLINICAL QUESTION • Previously treated metastatic pancreatic cancer. • Chemotherapy offers limited survival benefit. • Can we target RAS directly? • Daraxonrasib = Oral multi-selective RAS(ON) inhibitor. • Targets active, GTP-bound RAS. 02 THE TRIAL • RASolute 302 | Phase III | N = 500 • Daraxonrasib 300 mg orally daily vs • Investigator's-choice chemotherapy GnP / mFOLFIRINOX / nal-IRI + 5-FU/LV / FOLFOX • Dual primary endpoints: OS + PFS in RAS G12-mutated disease. 03 OVERALL SURVIVAL Daraxonrasib vs Chemotherapy 13.2 months vs 6.7 months HR 0.40 60% lower hazard of death Median OS difference: +6.5 months 04 PROGRESSION-FREE SURVIVAL Daraxonrasib vs Chemotherapy 7.2 months vs 3.6 months HR 0.49 51% lower hazard of progression or death Median PFS difference: +3.6 months TAKE-HOME • One oral RAS inhibitor. Nearly doubled median OS and PFS. • Potentially practice-changing in previously treated metastatic pancreatic cancer. Median follow-up: 8.5 months. [Slide 3] RASolute 302 | ESMO 2026 | LBA82 Part 2 – Does the RAS Mutation Matter? MV Onco 01 DOES THE RAS MUTATION MATTER? Overall survival HR by mutation: • G12D → 0.49 (0.33–0.74) • G12V → 0.32 (0.19–0.54) • G12R → 0.61 (0.29–1.30) • Q61 → 0.37 (0.09–1.44) G12D and G12V show favourable survival effect. • G12V had the lowest numerical HR. But no proven difference in efficacy between mutations. 02 WHAT ABOUT RAS-WILD-TYPE? • No RAS mutation identified: OS HR 0.43 95% CI: 0.09–1.98 • Only 16 patients. • Favourable numerical trend. • Exploratory — NOT definitive. • No mutation identified ≠ confirmed RAS-wild-type. 03 DID CHEMOTHERAPY CHOICE MATTER? • Survival benefit directionally consistent across chemotherapy-choice subgroups. • OS HR range: 0.32–0.46 • Not driven by a single chemotherapy comparator. • However, subgroup results do not prove superiority over every individual regimen. 04 WHAT ARE THE LIMITATIONS? STRENGTHS • Phase III randomized evidence. • Large overall survival benefit. • Consistent direction across RAS subgroups. CAUTIONS • Median follow-up: 8.5 months. • Small G12R, Q61 and no-identified-RAS groups. • No proven mutation-specific superiority. • Longer follow-up needed. TAKE-HOME ONE RAS INHIBITOR. MULTIPLE MUTATIONS. • Daraxonrasib shows directionally favourable survival effects across RAS subgroups. • Broad RAS inhibition — not mutation-specific superiority — is the key message.

🚨 SANO | ESMO 2026 | LBA78 SAVE THE OESOPHAGUS. BUT AT WHAT COST? Can we safely avoid oesophagectomy after complete clinical response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy? 🔹 SANO 5-year results (N=309) Active surveillance vs surgery: • 5-year OS: 50% vs 54% (HR 1.17) • DFS: HR 1.39 • Distant metastases: 46% vs 29% (P < 0.01) • 43% avoided an oesophagectomy classified as non-beneficial. ⚠️ The paradox: No statistically significant OS difference, yet 17 percentage points MORE distant metastases with surveillance. TAKE-HOME Organ preservation is feasible in selected patients, but long-term oncological equivalence remains uncertain. Careful selection, intensive surveillance and access to salvage surgery are essential. Are we preserving the oesophagus at the cost of distant disease control? 📖 Ref: Gangaram-Panday SS et al.

Does organ preservation compromise distant disease control? Association observed; causality not established. [Slide 2] SANO | ESMO 2026 | LBA78 Part 1 – Can We Avoid Oesophagectomy After Complete Response? MV Onco 01 THE CLINICAL QUESTION • Locally advanced oesophageal cancer. • Complete clinical response (cCR) after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy: • Must everyone undergo oesophagectomy? • Or can we monitor and operate only when needed? 02 THE SANO TRIAL • Multcicentre, cluster-randomised trial. • N = 309 • Active surveillance: 198 patients • Standard surgery: 111 patients • Median follow-up: 76 months • cCR assessed by endoscopic biopsies, EUS and PET-CT. 03 FIVE-YEAR SURVIVAL Active Surveillance vs Surgery • 5-year OS: 50% vs 54% HR 1.17 (95% CI 0.77–1.77) No statistically significant difference. • DFS: HR 1.39 (95% CI 0.94–2.06) No statistically significant difference. No significant difference ≠ Proven equivalence. 04 HOW MANY AVOIDED SURGERY? 43% (85/198) • Avoided an oesophagectomy classified as non-beneficial. • Included patients with sustained cCR or early distant metastatic progression. Organ preservation is feasible in selected patients. BUT THERE IS A CATCH... SAME SURVIVAL. MORE METASTASES? Continued in Part 2. [Slide 3] SANO | ESMO 2026 | LBA78 Part 2 – Same Survival. More Metastases? MV Onco 01 THE DISTANT METASTASIS PARADOX 5-year cumulative incidence: Active Surveillance vs Surgery 46% vs 29% +17 percentage points P < 0.01 Significantly MORE distant metastases with surveillance. Yet 5-year OS was not significantly different. 02 HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN? Possible explanations: • Subsequent treatments may influence survival. • Longer follow-up may reveal survival differences. • The study may lack precision to detect an OS difference. The mechanism remains unproven. Does residual local disease contribute to distant spread? An important hypothesis — NOT established. 03 THE ORGAN-PRESERVATION TRADE-OFF WHAT WE GAIN • 43% avoided an oesophagectomy classified as non-beneficial. • Earlier results showed better quality of life. WHAT CONCERNS US • Higher distant-metastasis incidence. • Uncertain long-term oncological equivalence. Organ preservation ≠ Risk-free surveillance. 04 TAKE-HOME Active surveillance is a feasible option in carefully selected patients achieving cCR after nCRT. Requires: • Expert multidisciplinary assessment. • Intensive surveillance. • Timely salvage surgery when indicated. 5-year OS: No significant difference. Distant metastases: Significantly higher. THE KEY QUESTION: Are we preserving the oesophagus at the cost of distant disease control?

[Slide 1] LBA79 - Zanidatamab (zani) + chemotherapy (CT) ± tislelizumab (TIS) for first-line (1L) HER2-positive (HER2+) advanced/metastatic gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (mGEA): Second interim analysis (IA) from HERIZON-GEA-01 Speakers Kohei Shitara (Kashiwa, Japan, Chiba) Lecture Time 16:15 - 16:20 [Abstract button] Background In the primary analysis of progression-free survival (PFS) and first IA (IA1) of overall survival (OS) of the phase 3 HERIZON-GEA-01 trial (NCT05152147), zani + CT ± TIS significantly prolonged PFS and, with TIS, provided a significant OS benefit (HR 0.72) vs trastuzumab (tras) + CT (Shitara, et al. NEJM. 2026), supporting the US approval of these regimens in 1L HER2+ mGEA. Here, we present the planned second IA of OS (IA2). Methods Patients (pts) with untreated HER2+ mGEA were randomized 1:1:1 to zani (1800 mg [<70 kg]/2400 mg [≥70 kg] IV every 3 weeks [Q3W]) + CT (capecitabine/oxaliplatin or 5-FU/cisplatin) ± TIS (200 mg IV Q3W) or tras + CT. PFS (by blinded independent central review) and OS were primary endpoints. At IA2, formal OS comparisons were tested in sequence: zani + CT vs tras + CT, then zani + CT + TIS vs zani + CT. Results 914 pts were randomized. With a median follow-up of 35.3 mo (data cutoff: 15 July 2026; 9.4 mo longer than IA1), zani + CT significantly improved OS vs tras + CT (HR 0.76 [95% CI: 0.62–0.93]; P = 0.0088; median OS, 22.9 mo [95% CI: 19.9–27.6] vs 19.6 mo [95% CI: 16.9–22.2]). A 4-mo longer median OS was observed with zani + TIS + CT (27.0 mo [95% CI: 23.7–32.2]) vs zani + CT (HR 0.81 [95% CI: 0.65–1.00]), although the difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.0502). The OS benefit of zani + TIS + CT vs tras + CT observed at IA1 (HR 0.72) was sustained at IA2 with an improved HR (0.65 [95% CI: 0.52–0.80]). Estimated 36-mo OS was 39.8% for zani + CT + TIS, 31.5% for zani + CT, and 22.9% for tras + CT. Median duration of treatment was 46.6 (40.5 for zani) wks with zani + CT + TIS, 31.1 (30.1 for zani) wks with zani + CT, and 30.0 (28.2 for tras) wks with tras + CT. The safety profiles were consistent with IA1. Conclusions At IA2, zani + CT led to a statistically significant and clinically meaningful OS improvement vs tras + CT. With longer follow-up, zani + CT + TIS showed improved OS benefit over tras + CT and there was a meaningful trend for OS improvement vs zani + CT. Unchanged safety profiles support the tolerability of prolonged treatment. These results continue to support zani combined with CT ± TIS as a new HER2-directed 1L standard of care in HER2+ mGEA.

CLDN18.2 ADC vs Chemotherapy MV Onco CHEMOTHERAPY PFS: 2.9 months ORR: 5.3% IBI343 | CLDN18.2 ADC PFS: 5.5 months ORR: 23.6% [illustration: tumour mass, chemo IV bag on left; ADC antibodies binding on right] CLDN18.2 Arcotatug tavatecan (IBI343) TOP1 inhibitor payload Most tumour cells remain viable Fewer viable tumour cells PFS HR 0.47 53% LOWER PROGRESSION/DEATH HAZARD CLDN18.2-positive tumour cells survive OS: 9.9 vs 7.4 months BUT OS IS IMMATURE Will the benefit survive longer follow-up? [Slide 2] G-HOPE-001 | ESMO 2026 | LBA77 Part 1 – Can a CLDN18.2 ADC Beat Chemotherapy? MV Onco 01 THE CLINICAL QUESTION • Advanced gastric/GEJ adenocarcinoma • Progression after 2–4 prior regimens. • CLDN18.2 IHC ≥2+ in ≥75% of tumour cells. • Can a CLDN18.2 ADC outperform chemotherapy? 02 THE TRIAL G-HOPE-001 | Phase III | N = 408 Arcotatug tavatecan (IBI343) 6 mg/kg IV Q3W n = 203 VS Physician's choice chemotherapy n = 205 Irinotecan / paclitaxel / trifluridine-tipiracil Primary endpoints: PFS and OS. 03 THE PFS & RESPONSE RESULTS Median PFS 5.5 vs 2.9 months HR 0.47 (95% CI 0.34–0.65) 53% lower progression/death hazard. Objective response rate 23.6% vs 5.3% Absolute ORR gain: +18.3 percentage points. 04 THE OS QUESTION Median OS 9.9 vs 7.4 months HR 0.63 (95% CI 0.45–0.89) But only 34.8% of OS events occurred. OS IMMATURE – NOT YET DEFINITIVE. TAKE-HOME • PFS hazard reduced by 53%. • ORR approximately 4.5-fold higher. • Mature OS results awaited. [Slide 3] G-HOPE-001 | ESMO 2026 | LBA77 Part 2 – What Makes This CLDN18.2 ADC Different? MV Onco 01 WHY IS IBI343 DIFFERENT? Arcotatug tavatecan = CLDN18.2-targeted ADC • Fc-silenced antibody + • Exatecan-derived TOP1 inhibitor payload. Zolbetuximab • Anti-CLDN18.2 antibody • Relies primarily on immune-mediated cytotoxicity. IBI343 (Arcotatug tavatecan) • Anti-CLDN18.2 ADC • Delivers cytotoxic payload • Exatecan-derived TOP1 inhibitor inside tumour cells. 02 THE SAFETY SURPRISE Grade ≥3 TEAEs 45.8% vs 57.9% IBI343 Chemotherapy Diarrhoea 12.8% vs 34.5% IBI343 Chemotherapy ILD: 0 cases observed. No treatment-related deaths. No observed ILD ≠ No ILD risk. 03 THE SEQUENCING DILEMMA Can IBI343 work after zolbetuximab? • Same target: CLDN18.2. • Different mechanisms: • Zolbetuximab → Immune-mediated cytotoxicity. • IBI343 → TOP1 payload delivery. Post-zolbetuximab efficacy remains uncertain. 04 WHAT REMAINS UNANSWERED? • Mature OS? → Only 34.8% of OS events occurred. • After zolbetuximab? → Benefit not established. • Lower CLDN18.2 expression? → Not studied in this trial. • Beyond East Asia? → Further generalisability data needed. TAKE-HOME • One target. Two different therapeutic strategies. • CLDN18.2 ADC shows promising efficacy with manageable toxicity. • Optimal sequencing and mature OS remain the key questions.

LLOVET, MD ICAHN SCHOOL OF MEDICINE AT MOUNT SINAI IDIBAPS - HOSPITAL CLÍNIC [headshot photo] [Slide 2] Methods DESIGN 1:1 randomization: TACE + pembrolizumab 400 mg IV Q6W + lenvatinib 12 mg (BW ≥60 kg) or 8 mg (BW <60 kg) PO QD, vs TACE + dual placebo, for ≤2 years. POPULATION Non-metastatic HCC not amenable to curative treatment; liver-only disease with no portal vein invasion; Child-Pugh A; ECOG PS 0–1. 480 patients (237 vs 243). ENDPOINTS Primary: PFS per RECIST v1.1 by BICR, and OS. Secondary: ORR, DOR and TTP per RECIST v1.1 by BICR, and safety. FOLLOW-UP Median follow-up 44.2 mo (range 31.3–62.1); 253 OS events at IA3. Based on publicly released #ESMO 2026 abstract. Preliminary data, not peer-reviewed. Not medical advice. © original authors/ESMO. [Slide 3] Results OS Median 40.4 (34.4–47.0) vs 40.8 (35.2–45.8) mo; HR 0.98 (95% CI 0.76–1.26). 24/36-month OS 74.4%/55.3% vs 67.5%/55.4%. PFS Median 14.6 (12.6–16.7) vs 10.2 (8.1–12.3) mo; HR 0.70 (95% CI 0.56–0.89). 24/36-month PFS 23.9%/19.1% vs 18.9%/12.4%. RESPONSE & TTP ORR 48.1% vs 33.7% (RECIST v1.1); 71.3% vs 49.4% (mRECIST).

TroFuse-055
Tom Powles ESMO 2026 slide: TroFuse-055
TROFUSE-055 is a randomized phase 3 non-muscle invasive bladder cancer trial. It’s another trial exploring bladder surgery sparing approaches. This study tests the combination of SAC-TMT with Pembro (68% RR in advanced disease) followed by chemoradiation. The control is ChemoRT (+/- NAC). This study is distinct from EV309 where no chemoRT is given in the study arm. We will need many trials to identify the optimal approach. The role of chemoRT in ADC driven cCR is unknown. @OncoAlert

3 randomised trials #ESMO26 in muscle invasive bladder cancer. VOLGA = Neoadjuvant EV plus perioperative durvalumab. How will it compare to perioperative EVP (B15/905) where longer periods of EV were given (OS HR = 0.5-0.6). Also, 2 trials (ENERGIZE/KN866) of cisplatin based neoadjuvant chemotherapy with or without PD-1 inhibition (nivolumab or pembrolizumab) . Will they reproduce NIAGARA with OS HR of 0.75 or will we see antagonism with platinum chemo as in metastatic disease . @OncoAlert

In 2006 we reported 44 patients with non-muscle-invasive micropapillary bladder cancer treated at MD Anderson. 27 got BCG. At a median 30 months, only 5 of them were disease-free with their bladder in place. Twenty years on, we went back to the literature to ask whether that picture still holds.

[Slide 1] PERIOPERATIVE IMMUNOTHERAPY IN MIBC Cross-trial comparison | Phase III Study populations were not identical; cross-trial comparisons are descriptive, not head-to-head. NIAGARA (Durvalumab) N = 1,063 Durvalumab arm: 533 | Control arm: 530 INCLUSION CRITERIA • Adults; resectable MIBC cT2–T4a, N0/1, M0 • Urothelial or mixed transitional histology • Candidate for radical cystectomy • ECOG 0–1 • CrCl ≥40 mL/min • No prior systemic chemotherapy/immunotherapy for MIBC TREATMENT ARMS ARM A (n = 533): Durvalumab + gemcitabine/cisplatin × 4 cycles → radical cystectomy → adjuvant durvalumab × 8 cycles ARM B (n = 530): Gemcitabine/cisplatin × 4 cycles → radical cystectomy; no adjuvant treatment KEY RESULTS Pathological complete response (pCR) 33.8% vs 25.8% (formal analysis; not statistically significant) Exploratory later reanalysis: 37.3% vs 27.5% Event-free survival (EFS) HR 0.68 (95% CI 0.56–0.82); P < 0.001 24-month EFS: 67.8% vs 59.8% Overall survival (OS) HR 0.75 (95% CI 0.59–0.93); P = 0.0106 24-month OS: 82.2% vs 75.2% KEYNOTE-866 (Pembrolizumab) N = 907 Pembrolizumab arm: 453 | Control arm: 454 INCLUSION CRITERIA • Adults; MIBC T2–T4aN0M0 or T1–T4aN1M0 • ≥50% urothelial histology • Clinically non-metastatic • Eligible for radical cystectomy + pelvic lymph-node dissection • ECOG 0–1 • Adequate organ function • Cisplatin eligible • No prior systemic therapy for MIBC TREATMENT ARMS ARM A (n = 453): Pembrolizumab + gemcitabine/cisplatin × 4 cycles → surgery → adjuvant pembrolizumab × 13 cycles ARM B (n = 454): Placebo + gemcitabine/cisplatin × 4 cycles → surgery → adjuvant placebo × 13 cycles KEY RESULTS Pathological complete response (pCR) 44.4% vs 35.8% (estimated difference 8.9 points; 95% CI 2.5–15.1) Event-free survival (EFS) HR 0.88 (95% CI 0.71–1.10); P = 0.1366 Median EFS: 74.1 mo vs not reached (NR) Overall survival (OS) HR 1.00 (95% CI 0.79–1.27) Not formally tested in this analysis CA017-078 (Nivolumab) N = 653 Nivolumab arm: 325 | Control arm: 328 INCLUSION CRITERIA • Adults with previously untreated resectable MIBC • Eligible for radical cystectomy and agreed to surgery • ECOG 0–1 • No clinically significant node-positive or metastatic disease • No prior systemic therapy or radiotherapy for bladder cancer • Note: trial protocol included multiple arms overall, but the displayed abstract compares the nivolumab + GC arm with GC control. TREATMENT ARMS ARM A (n = 325): Nivolumab + gemcitabine/cisplatin × 4 cycles → surgery → adjuvant nivolumab × 9 cycles ARM B (n = 328): Gemcitabine/cisplatin × 4 cycles → surgery; no adjuvant nivolumab in control arm KEY RESULTS Pathological complete response (pCR) 39.1% vs 29.6% Event-free survival (EFS) HR 0.94 (95.74% CI 0.71–1.25); P = 0.67 Median EFS: not reached (NR) vs 67.6 mo Overall survival (OS) HR 0.88 (95% CI 0.64–1.21) Immature Primary endpoints not statistically significant KEY TAKEAWAY Similar ~9–10 percentage-point pCR gains; only NIAGARA demonstrated statistically significant EFS and OS benefit in the reported analysis. GC = gemcitabine/cisplatin. Eligibility criteria are concise summaries, not full protocols. Arm order is experimental vs control. [footer partially cut off]

3 disease areas. 3 big clinical questions heading into ESMO 2026. As new data emerge, the challenge isn't simply identifying which treatments work. It's understanding which patients benefit, how therapies should be sequenced, and where additional treatment may introduce unnecessary toxicity. In Episode 520 of The Uromigos Podcast, Dr. Silke Gillessen joins Brian and Tom to preview these studies and explore the clinical questions surrounding ESMO 2026. 🎧 Full Discussion on Spotify: https://t.co/kIKYvxkDcE 🎧 Full Discussion on Apple Podcasts: https://t.co/X4nUpQLEO1 #Uromigos #ESMO2026 #GUOncology #ProstateCancer #KidneyCancer #BladderCancer

[Slide 2] The Uromigos™ Prostate Cancer. Who benefits from treatment intensification? High-risk prostate cancer isn't one uniform patient population. Identifying who needs additional systemic treatment remains a central question. DASL-HiCaP New evidence on adding darolutamide in very high-risk localized disease. PROTEUS A subgroup analysis comparing intensified treatment around surgery with prostatectomy alone. PEACE-1 Long-term survival findings that may help clarify the role of prostate-directed radiotherapy in metastatic disease. Key theme: Patient selection may be just as important as the treatment being added. [prostate anatomy illustration] [Slide 3] The Uromigos™ Kidney Cancer. Is there a future for triplet therapy? Triplet therapy continues to evolve in advanced kidney cancer. New data at ESMO 2026 may help define which patients benefit most and how to manage associated toxicity. LITESPARK-012 First-line belzutifan + pembrolizumab + lenvatinib in advanced clear cell RCC. Treatment sequences How emerging data may inform optimal sequencing and patient selection. Toxicity management Balancing efficacy with tolerability remains a key consideration. Key theme: Better patient selection and thoughtful toxicity management will be essential. [kidney anatomy illustration] [Slide 4] The Uromigos™ Bladder Cancer. How much treatment is enough? At ESMO 2026, new data will help inform how to optimize perioperative strategies in bladder cancer, including the right intensity and sequencing of treatment. VOLGA Perioperative durvalumab + chemotherapy in muscle-invasive bladder cancer. KEYNOTE-905 Perioperative pembrolizumab + chemotherapy and long-term outcomes. Treatment decisions Emerging data may help refine who benefits from perioperative therapy and how to balance efficacy with toxicity. Key theme: Finding the right patients — and the right amount of treatment — remains critical. [bladder anatomy illustration]

NIAGARA vs KEYNOTE-866 | ESMO 2026 Same Cancer. Different Trial Outcomes. KEYNOTE-866 | Phase III | 907 patients • Perioperative pembrolizumab + gemcitabine/cisplatin vs chemotherapy + placebo. • pCR: 44.4% vs 35.8% ↑ • EFS: HR 0.88; P = 0.1366 ❌ • OS: HR 1.00 — no demonstrated benefit. • Grade 3–5 AEs: 80.2% vs 75.1%. NIAGARA vs KEYNOTE-866 🏆 Durvalumab (NIAGARA): Significant EFS and OS benefit. Pembrolizumab (KEYNOTE-866): Higher pCR, but primary EFS endpoint not met.

[Slide 1] NIAGARA vs KEYNOTE-866 Same Cancer. Different Trial Outcomes. MV Onco [Cartoon: bladder illustration; left stage - physician in 'DURVA' lab coat holding a trophy; right stage - physician in 'PEMBRO' lab coat holding a sheet reading 'Higher pCR ✓' with a histology image] NIAGARA EFS improved ✓ OS improved ✓ POSITIVE TRIAL KEYNOTE-866 EFS endpoint not met ✗ NEGATIVE PRIMARY ENDPOINT Better pCR ≠ Proven Survival Benefit Separate trials. Not a head-to-head comparison. [Slide 2] KEYNOTE-866 | ESMO 2026 Does Adding Pembrolizumab Improve Outcomes in Bladder Cancer? MV Onco 01 - WHAT WAS THE QUESTION? In muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC): Does adding pembrolizumab to chemotherapy before surgery and continuing it after surgery improve outcomes? 02 - WHO WERE THE PATIENTS? • 907 patients • Cisplatin-eligible MIBC • ECOG 0-1 • Randomized Phase III trial. 03 - WHAT WAS COMPARED? Standard treatment: Gemcitabine + cisplatin x 4 cycles → Radical cystectomy → Placebo Experimental treatment: Same chemotherapy + pembrolizumab → Radical cystectomy → Pembrolizumab x 13 cycles 04 - WHAT DID WE WANT TO IMPROVE? Primary endpoint: • Event-free survival (EFS) Other important outcomes: • Pathological complete response (pCR) • Overall survival (OS) TAKE-HOME Can adding immunotherapy before and after surgery improve long-term outcomes? That was the KEYNOTE-866 question. [Slide 3] KEYNOTE-866 | ESMO 2026 Better Tumour Response. But Better Survival? MV Onco 01 DID MORE TUMOURS DISAPPEAR? Pathological complete response (pCR) • Pembrolizumab: 44.4% • Placebo: 35.8% → Yes - higher pCR with pembrolizumab. → But pCR was not formally tested. 02 DID PATIENTS REMAIN EVENT-FREE LONGER? Event-free survival • HR 0.88 • P = 0.1366 → No statistically significant benefit. → This was the primary endpoint. 03 DID PATIENTS LIVE LONGER? Overall survival • HR 1.00 • Median OS not reached in either arm. → No demonstrated survival advantage. → OS was not formally tested. 04 WHAT ABOUT TOXICITY? Grade 3-5 adverse events: • Pembrolizumab: 80.2% • Placebo: 75.1% → Numerically more severe toxicity with pembrolizumab. TAKE-HOME Better pCR ≠ Proven Survival Benefit • KEYNOTE-866 failed to meet its primary EFS endpoint. • No demonstrated EFS or OS advantage with perioperative pembrolizumab. • Higher pCR alone is insufficient to change practice.

KEYNOTE-B15 | ESMO 2026 ctDNA: Molecular Clearance vs Clinical Utility Part 1 — Molecular Response - ctDNA clearance: 82.1% vs 66.7% (EV + pembrolizumab vs chemotherapy). - Postsurgical ctDNA positivity: 4.8% vs 13.5%. Part 2 — Prognostic Value - ctDNA positivity → Poorer EFS and pCR. - EV + pembrolizumab showed favourable EFS estimates across ctDNA subgroups. Part 3 — Clinical Implications - Prognostic ✓ | Predictive: Not established - ctDNA cannot yet guide treatment escalation or de-escalation. Part 4 — The Big Picture - Greater molecular clearance does not establish cure or justify ctDNA-guided treatment changes. Take-home: ctDNA helps predict risk, but does not yet determine treatment.

[Slide 1] KEYNOTE-B15 | ESMO 2026 The ctDNA Detective Story MV Onco [Cartoon: detective physician with magnifying glass over two blood tubes; speech bubble: "I can predict RISK... not prescribe the NEXT MOVE!"; characters labelled EV, PEMBRO, CHEMOTHERAPY] EV + PEMBRO: 82.1% CLEARED ✓ CHEMOTHERAPY: 66.7% CLEARED ctDNA: PROGNOSTIC ✓ | PREDICTIVE ? [Slide 2] KEYNOTE-B15 | ESMO 2026 Does EV + Pembrolizumab Clear ctDNA Better? MV Onco 01 - WHAT WAS STUDIED? • KEYNOTE-B15 / EV-304 • 808 patients with cisplatin-eligible muscle-invasive bladder cancer. • 405 → EV + pembrolizumab • 403 → Cisplatin + gemcitabine • Perioperative treatment with radical cystectomy. 02 - WHAT WAS THE QUESTION? • Can EV + pembrolizumab eliminate circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) more effectively than chemotherapy? • ctDNA measured using the Signatera assay. 03 - WHAT HAPPENED TO ctDNA? Patients remaining ctDNA-positive: • Before treatment: EV + Pembro: 52.4% | Chemotherapy: 56.8% • Before surgery: EV + Pembro: 13.0% | Chemotherapy: 19.7% • After surgery: EV + Pembro: 4.8% | Chemotherapy: 13.5% [Illustration: bladder with two blood tubes labelled EV + PEMBRO and CHEMOTHERAPY] Less detectable ctDNA with EV + Pembro (symbolic depiction, not individual patient samples) 04 - THE MOST IMPORTANT RESULT ctDNA CLEARANCE • 82.1% - EV + Pembrolizumab • 66.7% - Chemotherapy • 15.4 percentage points higher with EV + pembrolizumab. TAKE-HOME • EV + pembrolizumab achieves greater ctDNA clearance and lower postsurgical ctDNA positivity than cisplatin-gemcitabine. Exploratory biomarker analysis. ctDNA negativity does not necessarily mean cure. [Slide 3] KEYNOTE-B15 | ESMO 2026 Does ctDNA Status Predict Better Outcomes? MV Onco 01 - DOES ctDNA STATUS MATTER? YES. Patients with detectable ctDNA had poorer outcomes. ctDNA-negative patients had: • Better event-free survival (EFS). • Higher pathological complete response (pCR). Observed in both treatment arms. [Illustration: ctDNA negative → Lower recurrence risk; ctDNA positive → Higher recurrence risk] 02 - WHAT IF ctDNA WAS POSITIVE BEFORE TREATMENT? EV + Pembrolizumab vs Chemotherapy EFS HR: 0.54 95% CI: 0.37-0.80 Approximately 46% lower hazard of an EFS event with EV + pembrolizumab. 03 - WHAT IF ctDNA WAS NEGATIVE BEFORE TREATMENT? EV + Pembrolizumab vs Chemotherapy EFS HR: 0.68 95% CI: 0.37-1.26 Favourable point estimate. But confidence interval crosses 1. 04 - WHAT ABOUT ctDNA AFTER SURGERY? EV + Pembrolizumab vs Chemotherapy ctDNA-positive: EFS HR: 0.63, 95% CI: 0.30-1.35 ctDNA-negative: EFS HR: 0.48, 95% CI: 0.29-0.81 Treatment effect estimates favour EV + pembrolizumab in both groups. TAKE-HOME • ctDNA status is prognostic. • Detectable ctDNA identifies patients with poorer outcomes. • EV + pembrolizumab shows favourable EFS estimates across ctDNA subgroups. Small scientific caution: • Exploratory subgroup analysis. Some confidence intervals cross 1; differential treatment benefit by ctDNA status is not established. [Slide 4] KEYNOTE-B15 | ESMO 2026 PART 3 - Can ctDNA Guide Treatment Decisions? MV Onco 01 IS ctDNA PROGNOSTIC? YES ✓ • ctDNA-positive → Poorer outcomes. • ctDNA-negative → Better outcomes. • ctDNA clearance → Associated with improved EFS and pCR. • ctDNA helps estimate recurrence risk. 02 IS ctDNA PREDICTIVE? NOT ESTABLISHED • Does ctDNA identify who benefits MORE from EV + pembrolizumab? Not proven. • EV + pembrolizumab showed favourable EFS estimates across ctDNA subgroups. • Prognostic ≠ Predictive. 03 CAN WE CHANGE TREATMENT BASED ON ctDNA? NOT YET • ctDNA-negative after surgery? → Cannot safely omit adjuvant treatment based on this result alone. • ctDNA-positive after surgery? → No validated ctDNA-guided escalation strategy from this analysis. • ctDNA negativity ≠ Cure. [Illustration: physician holding a ctDNA report; signpost RISK ESTIMATION ✓ / TREATMENT SELECTION ?] A useful compass, not yet a treatment roadmap. 04 WHAT ARE THE LIMITATIONS? • Exploratory biomarker analysis. • Not all patients had evaluable ctDNA. • Small postsurgical ctDNA-positive subgroups. • No randomized ctDNA-guided treatment decisions. ↳ Clinical utility requires prospective validation. TAKE-HOME ☑ ctDNA is a promising prognostic biomarker in MIBC. ☑ But it is NOT yet validated to select, escalate or omit perioperative treatment. ☑ Better molecular clearance ≠ Proof that ctDNA-guided treatment improves survival.

[Slide 1] LITESPARK-012 | ESMO 2026 Why Did Two Triplets Fail in Advanced RCC? MV Onco The Idea Pembrolizumab + lenvatinib works well in advanced ccRCC. Can adding another mechanism do better? [Signpost] PFS / OS / Tumor response [Cartoon: three teams of drug characters crossing a crumbling bridge toward a boulder labeled "Advanced ccRCC"] Arm A Triplet: Pembro + Lenvatinib + Belzutifan (HIF-2α) Arm B Triplet: Pembro + Lenvatinib + Quavonlimab (CTLA-4) Control Standard doublet: Pembro + Lenvatinib Pembrolizumab + Lenvatinib + Belzutifan PFS 20.8 mo HR 1.08 P = 0.84 No improvement ✗ MK-1308A (Pembrolizumab + Quavonlimab) + Lenvatinib PFS 20.7 mo HR 1.07 P = 0.82 No improvement ✗ Pembrolizumab + Lenvatinib PFS 23.7 mo New standard remains strong ✓ OS 52.0 mo HR 1.04 No improvement ✗ OS Not reached HR 1.12 No improvement ✗ OS Not reached Continues to do well ORR 69.1% ORR 69.0% ORR 76.3% Highest response rate! TAKE-HOME More drugs ≠ Better outcomes Neither adding belzutifan nor CTLA-4 blockade improved PFS or OS. Pembrolizumab + lenvatinib remains an established first-line standard in advanced ccRCC. LITESPARK-012 | NCT04736706 | ESMO 2026 [Slide 2] LITESPARK-012 | ESMO 2026 Why Did Two Triplets Fail in Advanced RCC? MV Onco 01 WHY THIS TRIAL? • Pembrolizumab + lenvatinib is an established first-line regimen in advanced ccRCC. • Can adding another mechanism improve outcomes? • Belzutifan → HIF-2α inhibition • Quavonlimab → CTLA-4 blockade [Cartoon: kidney labeled RCC with Pembro, Lenvatinib, Belzutifan (HIF-2α inhibition), Quavonlimab (CTLA-4 blockade) characters] 02 HOW WAS THE TRIAL DESIGNED? • Phase III | Open-label | 1,688 patients • Previously untreated advanced ccRCC. • Randomization 1:1:1 • Dual primary endpoints: PFS and OS. • Median follow-up: 43.6 months. ARM A (n = 560): Pembrolizumab + Lenvatinib + Belzutifan ARM B (n = 562): MK-1308A (Pembrolizumab + Quavonlimab) + Lenvatinib CONTROL (n = 566): Pembrolizumab + Lenvatinib 03 DID ADDING BELZUTIFAN IMPROVE PFS? • Median PFS: • Triplet: 20.8 months • Control: 23.7 months HR 1.08 (95% CI 0.93–1.26) P = 0.84 NO PFS BENEFIT ✗ 04 DID CTLA-4 BLOCKADE IMPROVE PFS? • Median PFS: • Triplet: 20.7 months • Control: 23.7 months HR 1.07 (95% CI 0.92–1.25) P = 0.82 NO PFS BENEFIT ✗ 05 DID PATIENTS LIVE LONGER? • Median OS: • Belzutifan triplet: 52.0 months • CTLA-4 triplet: Not reached • Control: Not reached OS HR: • Belzutifan triplet: 1.04 • CTLA-4 triplet: 1.12 NEITHER TRIPLET IMPROVED OS. TAKE-HOME Adding HIF-2α or CTLA-4 inhibition failed to improve efficacy over pembrolizumab + lenvatinib. LITESPARK-012 | NCT04736706 | ESMO 2026 [Slide 3] LITESPARK-012 | ESMO 2026 Why Did Two Triplets Fail in Advanced RCC? MV Onco 01 DID MORE DRUGS SHRINK MORE TUMORS? Objective response rate (ORR): • Belzutifan triplet → 69.1% • CTLA-4 triplet → 69.0% • Standard doublet → 76.3% Surprisingly, the standard doublet had the highest numerical response rate! [Cartoon: three tumor characters holding signs 69.1%, 69.0%, 76.3%] 02 DID CTLA-4 HELP INTERMEDIATE/POOR-RISK PATIENTS? IMDC intermediate/poor risk: Median PFS: • CTLA-4 triplet: 20.5 months • Control: 23.5 months HR 1.12 Median OS: • CTLA-4 triplet: 39.1 months • Control: 46.2 months HR 1.17 No demonstrated benefit even in this higher-risk population. 03 WAS TREATMENT DISCONTINUATION HIGHER? Patients discontinuing any study drug due to adverse events: • Belzutifan triplet → 51.6% • CTLA-4 triplet → 51.4% • Standard doublet → 36.2% Both triplets caused substantially more treatment discontinuation. Grade ≥3 adverse events: • Belzutifan triplet → 87.2% • CTLA-4 triplet → 88.7% • Standard doublet → 84.8% (Same treatment order) 04 WHY MIGHT BOTH TRIPLETS HAVE FAILED? Reason 1 — Strong control arm Pembrolizumab + lenvatinib already achieved: • PFS 23.7 months • ORR 76.3% Reason 2 — Reduced drug exposure Median pembrolizumab/MK-1308A duration: • Belzutifan triplet → 14.1 months • CTLA-4 triplet → 11.8 months • Control → 21.2 months Higher discontinuation may have reduced effective treatment exposure. Reason 3 — More mechanisms ≠ More efficacy Adding HIF-2α or CTLA-4 inhibition did not translate into improved outcomes. These are plausible explanations, not proven causes. 05 DOES THIS INVALIDATE BELZUTIFAN? NO. • This trial tested belzutifan in a specific first-line triplet. • It does not negate its benefit in other established RCC settings. • Treatment line, combination partners and tolerability matter. [Cartoon kidney holding sign: Belzutifan still has a role in other RCC settings] TAKE-HOME MORE DRUGS ≠ BETTER OUTCOMES • Neither triplet improved PFS or OS. • Both increased treatment discontinuation. • Pembrolizumab + lenvatinib remains an established first-line standard.

No head-to-head comparison. [Slide 2] CA017-078 | ESMO 2026 NIVOLUMAB + CHEMOTHERAPY IN MIBC MV Onco PART 1/2 1 WHY THIS TRIAL? Cisplatin-based chemotherapy → Surgery Standard treatment for eligible MIBC. THE QUESTION Can adding NIVOLUMAB before and after surgery improve outcomes? 2 WHO ENTERED? • Phase III randomized trial • N = 653 • Previously untreated MIBC • cT2–T4a N0 M0 • Resectable disease • Cisplatin eligible 3 RANDOMIZATION N = 653 | 1:1 ARM A — n = 325 GC + NIVOLUMAB × 4 cycles ↓ SURGERY ↓ Adjuvant NIVOLUMAB × 9 cycles VS ARM B — n = 328 GC × 4 cycles ↓ SURGERY GC = Gemcitabine + Cisplatin 4 DID NIVOLUMAB IMPROVE EFS? NO SIGNIFICANT BENEFIT EFS HR = 0.94 95.74% CI 0.71–1.25 P = 0.67 Median EFS: NIVO arm → Not reached GC arm → 67.6 months Median follow-up: 54.5 months 5 DID NIVOLUMAB IMPROVE pCR? NIVO + GC → 39.1% GC alone → 29.6% Absolute difference = 9.5 percentage points NOT STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT TAKE-HOME Higher numerical pCR ≠ Proven EFS benefit. CA017-078 failed to meet its primary endpoints. [Slide 3] WHY DID NIVOLUMAB FAIL? MV Onco | PART 2/2 1 DID PATIENTS LIVE LONGER? Overall survival (OS) • HR = 0.88 • 95% CI 0.64 – 1.21 • OS data immature. • NO PROVEN SURVIVAL BENEFIT. 2 WAS TOXICITY HIGHER? Grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse events: • NIVO + GC → 45.9% • GC alone → 49.5% • No numerical increase in severe treatment-related toxicity. 3 WHY IS THIS SURPRISING? NIAGARA Durvalumab + GC → Surgery → Durvalumab • EFS improved ✓ • OS improved ✓ CA017-078 Nivolumab + GC → Surgery → Nivolumab • EFS not significantly improved ✗ • pCR not significantly improved ✗ Different trials. No head-to-head comparison. 4 DOES THIS CONTRADICT CHECKMATE 274? NO. • CheckMate 274: Adjuvant nivolumab after surgery in high-risk urothelial carcinoma. → Disease-free survival improved. • CA017-078: Perioperative nivolumab in resectable MIBC. → Primary endpoints not met. Different populations. Different strategies. 5 WHAT SHOULD CHANGE IN PRACTICE? • Do not routinely adopt this perioperative nivolumab regimen based on CA017-078. • NIAGARA supports perioperative durvalumab in eligible patients. • Adjuvant nivolumab retains its evidence in the appropriate high-risk postoperative setting. • ctDNA-guided treatment selection remains unvalidated. TAKE-HOME NOT ALL PERIOPERATIVE IMMUNOTHERAPY TRIALS ARE POSITIVE. • NIAGARA → Positive EFS and OS results. • CA017-078 → No significant EFS or pCR benefit. • Cross-trial differences do not prove one antibody is superior.

SWOG S2200 | ESMO 2026 A PFS Win. But Is It Enough? Can adding atezolizumab to cabozantinib improve outcomes in metastatic papillary RCC? 🔹 Randomized Phase II: 33 eligible patients (16 cabo alone; 17 cabo + atezo). 🔹 PFS: HR 0.46 (90% CI 0.22–0.97; one-sided p = 0.043) — nominally significant improvement. 🔹 OS: HR 1.67 (90% CI 0.59–4.70) — no demonstrated survival benefit. 🔹 Grade 3–4 AEs: 65% vs 75% (combination vs monotherapy). 🔹 Major limitation: Only 33 eligible patients against 180 planned; trial terminated early due to poor accrual. The clinical question: Is a positive PFS signal from such a small trial sufficient to change practice? Promising, but not practice-changing yet. Stronger confirmatory evidence is needed before routine adoption. Reference: SWOG S2200, ESMO Congress 2026, first-results abstract.

PAPMET established cabozantinib as an effective treatment for metastatic papillary RCC. The unanswered question: Does adding immunotherapy improve outcomes further? 02 — WHAT WAS COMPARED? Randomized Phase II | SWOG S2200 33 eligible patients with metastatic papillary RCC. • Arm A (n = 16) Cabozantinib 60 mg daily. • Arm B (n = 17) Cabozantinib 60 mg daily + atezolizumab 1200 mg IV every 3 weeks. Median follow-up: 24 months. [Cartoon: capsule characters "Cabozantinib alone" and "Cabozantinib + atezolizumab" with flag PFS ✓ and signpost "OS ?"] 03 — DID ADDING ATEZOLIZUMAB IMPROVE PFS? YES — Nominally significant PFS HR 0.46 90% CI: 0.22–0.97 One-sided p = 0.043 54% lower hazard of progression or death. 04 — DID PATIENTS LIVE LONGER? NO OS BENEFIT DEMONSTRATED OS HR 1.67 90% CI: 0.59–4.70 One-sided p = 0.79 Survival advantage not established. TAKE-HOME • PFS improved, but OS benefit was not demonstrated. • A promising signal from a very small randomized trial. [Slide 3] SWOG S2200 | ESMO 2026 Is This a Practice-Changing Trial? MV Onco 01 — WAS TOXICITY HIGHER? Grade 3–4 adverse events: • Cabozantinib + Atezolizumab: 65% (11/17) • Cabozantinib alone: 75% (12/16) • No obvious increase in severe toxicity. • Small numbers limit interpretation. 02 — WHAT WAS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM? SEVERE UNDER-ACCRUAL • Planned: 180 patients • Enrolled: 36 patients • Eligible: 33 patients • Trial terminated in January 2026 due to poor recruitment. • The study was substantially underpowered. 03 — HOW STRONG IS THE EVIDENCE? • PFS met the prespecified nominal significance threshold. • BUT: – Only 33 eligible patients. – One-sided statistical testing. – Wide confidence intervals. – No demonstrated OS benefit. • Statistically positive ≠ Definitively practice-changing. 04 — SHOULD WE ADD ATEZOLIZUMAB ROUTINELY? • NOT YET. • Cabozantinib remains an evidence-supported treatment option. • Adding atezolizumab showed a promising PFS signal. • However, routine adoption requires stronger confirmatory evidence. TAKE-HOME • Promising PFS signal. • No proven survival advantage. • Too few patients for definitive conclusions. • SWOG S2200 is hypothesis-generating, not practice-changing.

[Slide 1] LITESPARK-011 | ESMO 2026 Better Tumor Control. But Longer Survival? MV Onco BELZUTIFAN + LENVATINIB Belzutifan inhibits HIF-2α Lenvatinib inhibits VEGFR angiogenic signalling [Illustration: kidney with tumor shrinking] Smaller tumor Better control PFS: 14.8 months ORR: 53.1% DOR: 22.0 months CABOZANTINIB Inhibits multiple TK receptors (eg, VEGFR, MET, AXL) [Illustration: kidney with tumor] Residual disease persists PFS: 10.8 months ORR: 40.2% DOR: 11.9 months OVERALL SURVIVAL 33.7 vs 28.6 months HR 0.85 (95% CI 0.70–1.03) OS NOT STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT [Cartoon: doctor with magnifying glass comparing sheets "Belzutifan + Lenvatinib 33.7 mo" and "Cabozantinib 28.6 mo"] One-sided P = 0.04689 Required P ≤ 0.0223 Grade ≥3 adverse events: 85.4% (Belzutifan + Lenvatinib) | 83.0% (Cabozantinib) — High in both arms TAKE-HOME Better PFS. More Responses. Longer DOR. But No Proven OS Benefit. [Slide 2] LITESPARK-011 | ESMO 2026 Did Belzutifan + Lenvatinib Improve Disease Control? MV Onco 01 WHY THIS TRIAL? • Advanced clear-cell RCC frequently progresses after immunotherapy. • Cabozantinib is an established post-IO option. QUESTION: Can adding HIF-2α inhibition to VEGFR blockade improve outcomes? [Illustration: kidney "Post Immunotherapy progression" → HIF-2α inhibition + VEGFR blockade] 02 WHO WERE THE PATIENTS? • Phase III | N = 747 • Advanced ccRCC after anti-PD-(L)1 therapy. • Progression after first- or second-line immunotherapy, or within 6 months of adjuvant immunotherapy. 03 WHAT WERE THE TREATMENTS? Randomisation 1:1 Belzutifan + Lenvatinib (n = 371) 120 mg + 20 mg orally daily VERSUS Cabozantinib (n = 376) 60 mg orally daily Belzutifan → HIF-2α inhibitor Lenvatinib → Multikinase inhibitor targeting VEGFR 04 WHAT WAS THE TRIAL TESTING? • Dual primary endpoints: – PFS – blinded independent central review – Overall survival (OS) • Key secondary endpoint: ORR • Other endpoints: DOR and safety. • Median follow-up: 38.8 months • Data cutoff: 2 February 2026 [Clipboard: Endpoints ☑ PFS (BICR) ☑ OS ☑ ORR ☑ DOR ☑ Safety] 05 DID PFS IMPROVE? YES – PFS BENEFIT MAINTAINED! Median PFS: • Belzutifan + Lenvatinib → 14.8 months • Cabozantinib → 10.8 months HR 0.74 (95% CI 0.62–0.88) 26% relative reduction in progression/death hazard. 36-month PFS: 20.5% vs 12.6% PFS significance was established at an earlier analysis; not formally retested at final analysis. BOTTOM TAKE-HOME Belzutifan + Lenvatinib delivers superior disease control compared with cabozantinib after immunotherapy. But does better PFS translate into longer survival? Continued in Part 2 → [Slide 3] LITESPARK-011 | ESMO 2026 Better Tumor Control – But Longer Survival? MV Onco 01 DID PATIENTS LIVE LONGER? Median overall survival (OS): • Belzutifan + Lenvatinib → 33.7 months • Cabozantinib → 28.6 months • Numerical difference → +5.1 months • HR 0.85 (95% CI 0.70 – 1.03) • OS favored the combination numerically. • But OS superiority was NOT statistically demonstrated. [Illustration: balance scale 33.7 months (Belzutifan + Lenvatinib) vs 28.6 months (Cabozantinib), labeled OS] 02 WHY WAS P = 0.04689 NOT SIGNIFICANT? • Observed one-sided P = 0.04689 • Prespecified significance boundary = 0.0223 • 0.04689 > 0.0223 • The required statistical threshold was NOT crossed. • Also, the 95% CI included 1. • OS primary endpoint NOT MET. 03 WHAT HAPPENED AT 3 YEARS? Estimated 36-month overall survival: • Belzutifan + Lenvatinib → 48.9% • Cabozantinib → 40.6% • Absolute numerical difference → +8.3 percentage points • More patients were estimated to be alive at 3 years with the combination. • However, this does not establish statistically significant OS superiority. 04 DID MORE TUMORS RESPOND? Objective response rate (ORR): • Belzutifan + Lenvatinib → 53.1% • Cabozantinib → 40.2% • Absolute improvement → +12.9 percentage points • More than half of patients responded with the combination. • ORR benefit was established at an earlier analysis and maintained at final analysis. 05 WERE RESPONSES MORE DURABLE? Median duration of response (DOR): • Belzutifan + Lenvatinib → 22.0 months • Cabozantinib → 11.9 months • Numerical difference → +10.1 months • Median response duration was nearly doubled. • Better response durability – but no proven OS advantage. TAKE-HOME Better PFS + Higher ORR + Longer DOR ≠ Proven Overall Survival Benefit • LITESPARK-011 improved tumor control but missed its prespecified OS significance boundary. • Next: Toxicity, subsequent therapy and clinical implications. Continued in Part 3 → [Slide 4] LITESPARK-011 | ESMO 2026 Is Belzutifan + Lenvatinib Practice-Changing? MV Onco 01 WAS TOXICITY HIGHER? Grade ≥3 treatment-emergent adverse events: • Belzutifan + Lenvatinib → 85.4% • Cabozantinib → 83.0% Severe adverse-event rates were broadly similar, but high in both arms. Different toxicity profiles: • Belzutifan → Anemia, hypoxia • Lenvatinib → Hypertension, diarrhea, fatigue Similar severe-event rates ≠ Identical tolerability. 02 COULD SUBSEQUENT THERAPY AFFECT OS? Among patients who discontinued treatment, subsequent therapy was received by: • Belzutifan + Lenvatinib → 63.4% (173/273) • Cabozantinib → 62.7% (203/324) Rates were similar. But subsequent treatment regimens were not detailed. Could later HIF-2α inhibitor exposure dilute OS differences? Possible — but unproven. 03 WHY DID PFS BENEFIT NOT TRANSLATE INTO PROVEN OS BENEFIT? Three possible explanations: 1 Subsequent treatments Effective later-line therapy may reduce OS differences. 2 Modest OS effect HR 0.85 did not cross the prespecified statistical boundary. 3 PFS ≠ OS Delaying progression does not guarantee longer survival. These are hypotheses, not proven explanations. 04 WHAT QUESTIONS REMAIN? • Which subsequent treatments were received? • Did OS differ by IMDC risk or prior therapy? • What were the quality-of-life outcomes? • How often were doses reduced or interrupted? • Is upfront combination better than sequential treatment? Optimal treatment sequencing remains uncertain. 05 IS THIS PRACTICE-CHANGING? YES — stronger evidence for disease control. • PFS benefit → Established • ORR benefit → Established • DOR → Numerically longer BUT: • OS superiority → NOT demonstrated • Grade ≥3 toxicity → High in both arms Belzutifan + lenvatinib is an effective post-IO treatment option, but selection requires balancing efficacy, toxicity and patient factors. TAKE-HOME Better Tumor Control ≠ Proven Longer Survival • LITESPARK-011 supports belzutifan + lenvatinib after immunotherapy in advanced ccRCC. • The strongest evidence is for PFS and response benefit — NOT overall survival superiority.

[Slide 1] ESMO 2026 MADRID, SPAIN KEYNOTE-866 Perioperative Pembrolizumab or Placebo + Neoadjuvant Cisplatin and Gemcitabine in Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer [ESMO 2026 MADRID stamp; Madrid Metropolis building photo] Study Design Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled 907 patients randomized (453 vs 454) Data cutoff: January 26, 2026 Median follow-up: 60.9 months Patient Population • Muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) • cT2–T4aN0M0 or cT1–T4aN1M0 • ≥50% urothelial histology (centrally assessed) • ECOG PS 0–1 • No prior systemic therapy • Cisplatin-eligible • Suitable for radical cystectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection [illustration of a bladder with tumor] Randomization (n = 907) Pembrolizumab + Gemcitabine + Cisplatin n = 453 ← 1:1 → Placebo + Gemcitabine + Cisplatin n = 454 Treatment Regimen Experimental Arm – Pembrolizumab (n = 453) Neoadjuvant (4 cycles, Q3W) • Pembrolizumab 200 mg IV (day 1) • Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m² (day 1, 8) • Cisplatin 70 mg/m² (day 1) → Radical cystectomy + PLND → Adjuvant: Pembrolizumab 200 mg IV Q3W × 13 cycles Control Arm – Placebo (n = 454) Neoadjuvant (4 cycles, Q3W) • Placebo (day 1) • Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m² (day 1, 8) • Cisplatin 70 mg/m² (day 1) → Radical cystectomy + PLND → Adjuvant: Placebo Q3W × 13 cycles Endpoints Primary endpoint Investigator-assessed Event-Free Survival (EFS) Key secondary endpoints • Pathological complete response (pCR) (by central review) • Overall survival (OS) Secondary endpoint • Safety Results Event-Free Survival (Primary Endpoint) [Kaplan-Meier curves, two arms: Pembrolizumab, Placebo; x-axis Months 0–84; y-axis Event-free survival (%)] Median EFS 74.1 mo vs NR HR 0.88 (95% CI 0.71–1.10) P = 0.1366 Pathological Complete Response (pCR) [bar chart: pCR rate (%)] 44.4% Pembrolizumab (n = 453) 35.8% Placebo (n = 454) Absolute difference 8.9% (95% CI 2.5–15.1) Overall Survival (OS) [Kaplan-Meier curves, two arms: Pembrolizumab, Placebo; x-axis Months 0–84; y-axis Overall survival (%)] Median OS NR in both arms HR 1.00 (95% CI 0.79–1.27) Not formally tested due to statistical design Surgery Rate Underwent surgery (pembrolizumab vs placebo) [bar chart] 91.6% Pembrolizumab | 87.9% Placebo Safety | | Pembrolizumab (n = 453) | Placebo (n = 454) | Any treatment-emergent AE | 99.8% | 98.7% Grade 3–5 AE | 80.2% | 75.1% Grade 5 AE | 3.8% | 4.5% Hypothyroidism (any grade) | 10.4% | – Grade 3–5 hypothyroidism | 0% | – Most frequent immune-mediated AE with pembrolizumab: hypothyroidism 10.4% (grade 3–5: 0%) Key Take Home Messages Perioperative pembrolizumab did NOT significantly improve event-free survival in cisplatin-eligible MIBC. Pathological complete response rate was higher with pembrolizumab (44.4% vs 35.8%), but not formally tested. No overall survival benefit at this analysis (HR 1.00). Safety profile was manageable but with higher grade 3–5 toxicity in the pembrolizumab arm. These results do not establish a new standard of care. Await full publication and guideline updates. Conclusion • Perioperative pembrolizumab did not significantly improve EFS in cisplatin-eligible MIBC. • Higher pCR rate observed, but secondary and not formally tested. • No OS benefit demonstrated at current follow-up. • Safety consistent with known pembrolizumab profile and manageable.

🧬 WHY DID ONLY NIAGARA SUCCEED? NIAGARA vs KEYNOTE-866 vs CA017-078 | ESMO 2026 Three perioperative immunotherapy trials in MIBC. Similar pCR gains, different EFS outcomes. 🔹 Patient selection: Did higher-risk enrichment favour NIAGARA? 🔹 EFS definition: Endpoint differences matter, but NIAGARA also improved OS (HR 0.75). 🔹 PD-L1 vs PD-1: Biological differences? Clinically unproven. 🔹 pCR–EFS paradox: - NIAGARA: +8.0 pp | HR 0.68 - KEYNOTE-866: +8.6 pp | HR 0.88 - CA017-078: +9.5 pp | HR 0.94 🎯 Take-home: NIAGARA demonstrated EFS and OS benefit, but why the trials differed remains uncertain. Similar pCR gains do not guarantee survival benefit. Cross-trial comparisons cannot prove antibody superiority. 📚 References: NIAGARA (NCT03732677), KEYNOTE-866 (NCT03924856), CA017-078 (NCT03661320). #ESMO2026 #BladderCancer #MIBC #NIAGARA #Immunotherapy #MVOnco

[Slide 1] WHY DID ONLY NIAGARA SUCCEED? NIAGARA vs KEYNOTE-866 vs CA017-078 Four Questions Worth Asking | ESMO 2026 MV Onco 01 DID NIAGARA ENROLL HIGHER-RISK PATIENTS? NIAGARA: T2N0 capped at ~40%. CA017-078: ~77% T2 (N0). NIAGARA EFS by stage: T2N0 → HR 0.81 Higher than T2N0 → HR 0.61 Interpretation: Higher-risk enrichment may matter. Treatment-by-stage interaction unproven. 02 DID THE EFS DEFINITION MATTER? NIAGARA counted failure to undergo cystectomy as an EFS event. Sensitivity analyses remained consistent ✓ OS also improved: HR 0.75 ✓ Interpretation: Endpoint differences deserve scrutiny. EFS definition cannot explain away the OS benefit. 03 PD-L1 vs PD-1: DOES BIOLOGY MATTER? NIAGARA: Durvalumab → PD-L1 KEYNOTE-866: Pembrolizumab → PD-1 CA017-078: Nivolumab → PD-1 PD-L1 blockade preserves PD-1–PD-L2 signalling. Interpretation: Biologically interesting. Clinically unproven. No evidence of PD-L1 superiority. 04 THE pCR–EFS PARADOX NIAGARA: pCR gain +8.0 pp → EFS HR 0.68 KEYNOTE-866: pCR gain +8.6 pp → EFS HR 0.88 CA017-078: pCR gain +9.5 pp → EFS HR 0.94 Interpretation: Similar numerical pCR gains. Different EFS outcomes. pCR is not a validated surrogate for survival in MIBC. TAKE-HOME WHY ONLY NIAGARA? Patient selection? EFS definition? PD-L1 biology? No definitive explanation yet. NIAGARA demonstrated EFS and OS benefit. Cross-trial comparisons cannot establish antibody superiority.

Presentation 24 October 2026 16:30 Madrid | 17:30 Istanbul Presenter Thomas Powles 01 PATIENTS • Muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) • Ineligible for or declined cisplatin-based chemotherapy • Planned for curative-intent radical cystectomy 02 STUDY DESIGN • Phase 3, randomized, open-label • Global • n = 695 (three arms) • Randomization 1:1:1 03 TREATMENT ARMS Arm 1 EV + durvalumab + tremelimumab • Neoadjuvant enfortumab vedotin + durvalumab + tremelimumab • Radical cystectomy • Adjuvant durvalumab + tremelimumab Arm 2 EV + durvalumab • Neoadjuvant enfortumab vedotin + durvalumab • Radical cystectomy • Adjuvant durvalumab Control Surgery ± approved adjuvant therapy • Radical cystectomy • With or without approved adjuvant therapy (according to current standards) 04 WHAT IS KNOWN • Planned interim analysis / company topline. • Arm 2 (EV + durvalumab) vs control: met EFS and showed a statistically significant and clinically meaningful OS benefit. • Arm 1 (EV + durvalumab + tremelimumab) vs control: met EFS, but OS showed only a favourable trend and was not statistically significant at this interim analysis. NOT YET DISCLOSED • Hazard ratios, 95% confidence intervals and p values • Absolute EFS and OS differences • Pathologic complete response (pCR) and downstaging rates • Detailed grade 3+ toxicity and discontinuation rates 05 CLINICAL READOUT The key issue is not only that the study is positive. How large is the absolute EFS/OS gain when enfortumab vedotin is given only neoadjuvantly, and does the added treatment burden and toxicity justify the regimen?

KEYNOTE-564 | ESMO 2026 Seven Years Later… Are Patients Living Longer? One year of adjuvant pembrolizumab. Seven years of follow-up. A survival benefit that endures. 🔹 7-year DFS: 57.2% vs 44.6% HR 0.68 — 32% lower DFS-event hazard. 🔹 7-year OS: 82.3% vs 76.6% HR 0.70 — 30% lower hazard of death. Median follow-up: 85.9 months. But does every risk subgroup benefit equally? DFS benefit is consistent, while subgroup OS results require cautious interpretation. Take-home: KEYNOTE-564 reinforces adjuvant pembrolizumab as a standard option for appropriately selected high-risk ccRCC. Less recurrence. More patients alive. 📖 Reference: Choueiri TK et al.

[Slide 1] KEYNOTE-564 ESMO 2026 Seven Years Later... Are Patients Living Longer? MV Onco [Illustration: sutured kidney, vial labeled "ONE YEAR OF PEMBROLIZUMAB", a path with milestone stones 1 YEAR, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 YEARS leading to a figure walking toward a sunrise] 7-YEAR DISEASE-FREE SURVIVAL 57.2% vs 44.6% 7-YEAR OVERALL SURVIVAL 82.3% vs 76.6% Pembrolizumab vs Placebo LESS RECURRENCE. MORE PATIENTS ALIVE. KEYNOTE-564 — The survival benefit endures. [Slide 2] KEYNOTE-564 | ESMO 2026 PART 1/2 Seven Years Later — Are Patients Living Longer? MV Onco 1. WHY KEYNOTE-564? • Clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). • Recurrence remains a concern after nephrectomy. • Adjuvant pembrolizumab improved DFS and OS in earlier analyses. THE QUESTION: DOES THE BENEFIT LAST? 2. WHAT WAS THE STUDY? Phase III | Randomized | N = 994 PEMBROLIZUMAB (n = 496) 200 mg IV every 3 weeks versus PLACEBO (n = 498) Up to 17 cycles (~1 year). • Primary endpoint → DFS • Key secondary endpoint → OS 3. WHY IS THIS UPDATE IMPORTANT? • Earlier analyses established DFS and OS benefit. • ESMO 2026 — FINAL ANALYSIS • Median follow-up: 85.9 months Approximately 7.2 years. • Data cutoff: February 4, 2026. DO THE BENEFITS REMAIN DURABLE? 4. DID RECURRENCE DECREASE? YES — DFS BENEFIT MAINTAINED • 7-year DFS: 57.2% vs 44.6% Pembrolizumab vs Placebo • HR 0.68 (95% CI 0.56–0.82) → 32% lower DFS-event hazard. → 12.6 percentage-point absolute difference. • Median DFS: NR vs 68.3 months. 5. DID PATIENTS LIVE LONGER? YES — OS BENEFIT MAINTAINED • 7-year OS: 82.3% vs 76.6% Pembrolizumab vs Placebo • HR 0.70 (95% CI 0.53–0.92) → 30% lower death hazard. → 5.7 percentage-point absolute difference. • Median OS: NR in both arms. TAKE-HOME One year of adjuvant pembrolizumab delivers durable DFS and OS benefit in appropriately selected high-risk ccRCC. KEYNOTE-564 | Phase III | NCT03142334 | ESMO 2026 | PART 1/2 [Slide 3] KEYNOTE-564 | ESMO 2026 PART 2/2 Who Benefits Most — And Is Practice Changing? MV Onco 1. WHO BENEFITED FROM PEMBROLIZUMAB? DFS BENEFIT ACROSS RISK GROUPS Intermediate-high risk → HR 0.71 (95% CI 0.58–0.87) High risk → HR 0.54 (95% CI 0.31–0.94) M1 NED → HR 0.50 (95% CI 0.26–0.96) All three DFS estimates favor pembrolizumab. 2. DID EVERY SUBGROUP LIVE LONGER? OVERALL SURVIVAL — IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE Intermediate-high risk → HR 0.66 (95% CI 0.48–0.91) High risk → HR 0.92 (95% CI 0.44–1.90) M1 NED → HR 0.54 (95% CI 0.19–1.53) CAUTION: OS benefit is established overall, but NOT statistically demonstrated in every subgroup. 3. WHAT ABOUT M1 NED? M1 NED = METASTATIC, NO EVIDENCE OF DISEASE Metastases completely resected. DFS HR → 0.50 OS HR → 0.54 → Encouraging recurrence reduction. → OS estimate remains uncertain. DFS BENEFIT ≠ PROVEN SUBGROUP OS BENEFIT 4. ANY NEW SAFETY CONCERNS? Median follow-up: 85.9 months No new serious treatment-related adverse events reported. However: • Immune-related toxicity remains relevant. • Some endocrine toxicities may be permanent. Adjuvant treatment requires careful patient selection. 5. TAKE-HOME KEYNOTE-564 REINFORCES THE STANDARD OF CARE At approximately 7 years: DFS HR → 0.68 OS HR → 0.70 One year of pembrolizumab provides durable DFS and OS benefit. Subgroup OS estimates require cautious interpretation. THE MESSAGE: Adjuvant pembrolizumab remains a standard option for appropriately selected high-risk ccRCC after surgery.

Enfortumab vedotin works by carrying a chemotherapy payload to a surface protein called nectin-4. Almost nobody has been measuring how much nectin-4 the tumour actually has. 322 people with metastatic bladder cancer on first-line enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab. High tumour NECTIN4 RNA: median survival 21.5 months. Low: 14.2 months. Response rate 67.4% against 41.9%. Then the control. In 232 people given pembrolizumab alone, NECTIN4 told you nothing. That points at the drug's own target rather than a general marker of gentler disease. Retrospective, and RNA is a step removed from protein sitting on the cell surface.

Taylor, John M. Floberg, Yingying Yu, Stamatina Fragkogianni, Kayla Viets Layng, Rana R. McKay, David F. Jarrard, Glenn Liu, Joshua M. Lang, Christos E. Kyriakopoulos [affiliations: University of Ioannina; Weill Cornell Medicine; University of Wisconsin; Tempus AI; UC San Diego; Henry Dunant Hospital Center, Athens — small text] INTRODUCTION ❑ The differences between de novo and metachronous mPC are incompletely characterized. ❑ This study compared demographic, clinical, molecular, and immunologic features between de novo and metachronous mPC. METHODS The Tempus Lens Platform was used to query the multimodal de-identified database to establish and subsequently analyze a cohort of patients diagnosed with mPC who underwent genomic profiling with xT (DNA) and xR (RNA) (n = 6,306). Patients were classified as de novo (Stage IV at diagnosis) or metachronous (Stage I–III at diagnosis with progression to Stage IV >180 days later). De Novo n = 6,171 Metachronous n = 135 ❑ Immune cell proportions were estimated from RNA using quanTIseq. ❑ Differential gene expression analyses were conducted using Wilcoxon rank-sum tests with Benjamini-Hochberg correction. ❑ Gene set enrichment analysis was conducted using the Hallmark libraries. ❑ Groups were compared using Wilcoxon rank-sum tests or chi-squared tests as appropriate. RESULTS Figure 1. Treatment with prostatectomy or radiation was more common in patients with metachronous disease (prostatectomy: 57% vs 5.2%, radiotherapy: 92% vs 22%, p<0.001). Figure 2. Treatment with upfront chemotherapy with ADT +/- ARPI was more common in de-novo metastatic pts (15.7% vs 8.1%, p=0.037). Figure 3. Metachronous pts were enriched for APLNR (13% vs 4.7%, p<0.001) and ZMYM3 somatic alterations (11% vs 4.8%, p<0.001), while most canonical prostate cancer drivers (e.g., TP53, PTEN, ERG) had a similar frequency between groups. [Fig 3 bar labels, de novo/metachronous %: APLNR 4.5/12.6; ZMYM3 4.7/11.1; LRP1B 9.4/14.8; FOXA1 13.9/20.0; SPOP 10.6/10.4; TP53 32.2/34.1; PTEN 25.6/26.7; ERG 36.1/39.3 — small text, verify against source] Figure 4. Metachronous pts demonstrated increased regulatory T cell and natural killer cell infiltration as estimated by quanTIseq (p<0.001). Figure 5. Inflammatory signaling (TNFα/NF-κB) and KRAS-related pathways were enriched in metachronous pts. SUMMARY ❑ Metachronous mPC is a distinct entity characterized by lower PSA at diagnosis, greater prior local therapy exposure, unique genomic alterations, and a more immunologically suppressed tumor microenvironment compared to de novo disease. ❑ Future work should investigate therapeutic vulnerabilities and differences in survival associated with metachronous vs. de novo disease.

[Slide 2] Clinicogenomic Differences Between Early-Onset (EO-PCa) and Average-Onset Prostate Cancer (AO-PCa): A Large-Scale Retrospective Cohort Study ESMO 2026 Poster #2256 Christos E. Kyriakopoulos, Panagiotis J. Vlachostergios, Anthony V. Serritella, Amy K. Taylor, John M. Floberg, Yingying Yu, Stamatina Fragkogianni, Kayla Viets Layng, Rana R. McKay, David F. Jarrard, Glenn Liu, Joshua M. Lang [affiliations: UW–Madison; Henry Dunant Hospital Center, Athens; University of Ioannina; Weill Cornell; Tempus AI; UC San Diego — small text] INTRODUCTION ❑ Early-onset prostate cancer (EO-PCa) is increasingly recognized as biologically distinct, but its clinical behavior, molecular features, and outcomes relative to average-onset (AO-PCa) disease remain incompletely characterized. SUMMARY • EO-PCa exhibits distinct clinical and molecular characteristics compared to AO-PCa. • OS appears to be driven by a combination of age and tumor biology. METHODS The Tempus Lens platform was used to query the de-identified, multimodal database for patients diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer (N= 6,967) tested with Tempus xT (DNA-seq) and xR (RNA-seq). Eligible de novo metastatic patients had a sample collected within 60 days of diagnosis and were stratified by onset age (EO-PCa ≤55 years; AO-PCa >55 years). ❑ Clinicogenomic characteristics were compared using Wilcoxon rank-sum tests or chi-squared tests as appropriate. ❑ Real-world overall survival (rwOS) was defined as the time from sample collection to death or loss to follow up. ❑ Median rwOS (mOS) was estimated using Kaplan-Meier (KM) curves and compared using log-rank tests. Hazard ratios (HR) were estimated using Cox proportional hazards models. Risk set adjustment was used to account for immortal time bias. RESULTS Figure 1. Frequency of primary radiotherapy or prostatectomy treatment in EO-PCa vs. AO-PCa. Patients with EO-PCa were more likely to undergo primary treatment (radiotherapy: 37.2% vs 26.4%; prostatectomy: 18.7% vs 10.4%, p<0.001). Figure 2. Selected molecular differences between EO-PCa and AO-PCa. EO-PCa was enriched for germline BRCA2 variants (4.8% vs 2.6%, p=0.019), TMPRSS2 fusions (39.7% vs 34.7%, p=0.015), and ERG fusions (41.1% vs 36.6%, p=0.031). Somatic FOXA1 (15.4% vs 9.4%, p<0.001) and SPOP mutations (11.1% vs. 8.2%, p=0.033) were more common in AO-PCa. Figure 3. Median real-world OS for EO-PCa vs. AO-PCa. EO-PCa was associated with longer mOS in the overall cohort [42 vs 32 months, HR = 1.51 (95% CI 1.26-1.81), p<0.001] and in SPOP-alt and TP53-alt sub-cohorts. [Fig 3 bars, EO/AO months: Overall 42.0/32.0; SPOP alt 67.1/52.0; TP53 alt 33.8/25.9] Figure 4. Association of SPOP and TP53 alterations with real-world OS in AO-PCa and EO-PCa. SPOP alterations were prognostic for favorable mOS compared to wild-type (AO-PCa: 52 months vs 30.7 months, p<0.001; EO-PCa: 67.1 months vs 41.7 months, p= 0.41). TP53 alterations were prognostic for worse mOS compared to wild-type (AO-PCa: mOS 25.9 months vs 37.9 months, p<0.001; EO-PCa: mOS 33.8 vs 55.9 months, p<0.001). [Fig 4: four KM panels — A. SPOP Alterations in AO-PCa (Age >55); B. SPOP Alterations in EO-PCa (Age <=55); C. TP53 Alterations in AO-PCa (Age >55); D. TP53 Alterations in EO-PCa (Age <=55); panel p-values printed: A p = 1.79e-09, B p = 0.414, C p = 2.4e-25, D p = 0.000649 — small text] ACKNOWLEDGMENTS: We thank Vanessa Nepomuceno, PhD for assistance with poster preparation.

Could NECTIN4 localization—and not just expression—help us identify which patients are most likely to benefit from enfortumab vedotin? Article 📰 https://t.co/YGqmkg0mic Integrating NECTIN4 Amplification With Membranous Nectin-4 Expression to Develop a Scoring System for Predicting Enfortumab Vedotin Response in Urothelial Carcinoma In this retrospective analysis of 179 EV-treated patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma, high membranous NECTIN4 🧬 expression predicted response, PFS, and OS, whereas cytoplasmic expression did not. NECTIN4 amplification identified a particularly favorable subgroup. ➡️ An integrated model combining amplification and membranous expression further stratified response and survival, suggesting a potential biomarker framework for optimizing EV selection. #BladderCancer @niklas_kluemper, @piapiacere, @Richard_Weiten, @susanne_fussel, @jcasusce, @KuppeChristoph, @JoshMeeks, @bonnie_choy, @braegelmannlab, @HolzelMichael, @ViktorGruenwald, @Markuseckstein3 @DrChoueiri, @tompowles1, @apolo_andrea, @neerajaiims, @montypal, @Silke_Gillessen, @AOmlin, @brian_rini, @PGrivasMDPhD, @TiansterZhang, @AlbigesL, @cdanicas, @amerseburger, @sonpavde, @DrDanielHeng, @declangmurphy, @seanmmcbride, @HHammersMD, @shilpaonc, @DrRanaMcKay, @scserendipity1, @DrYukselUrun, @scocmem, @AmandaNizamMD, @drenriquegrande, @BraunMDPhD, @EfstathiouEleni, @nataliagandur, @realbowtiedoc, @FernandoOnco, @ElisaAgostinett, @to_be_elizabeth, @MarioBalsaMD

DAY THREE | OncoAlert at #GUARDSymposium2026 🇪🇸 🧬 Can we safely de-escalate perioperative therapy in muscle-invasive bladder cancer? Dr. Andrea Necchi 🇮🇹 from IRCCS San Raffaele Hospital, Milan, reviews the evolving standard of care for #MIBC — from sandwich (neoadjuvant + adjuvant) immunotherapy to next-generation bladder-sparing strategies 🔬 Perioperative durvalumab-GC and EVP are now EMA-approved, and pCR remains the strongest surrogate of outcome, achieved in ~35–60% of patients on neoadjuvant therapy. But current data don't yet support safe de-escalation once EVP or Durva-GC is started — trials like VOLGA and the ctDNA-guided IMvigor011 are only beginning to test who could receive less treatment. 🎯 A carefully selected cohort achieving complete response may be able to forgo radical cystectomy under strict surveillance — but this stays investigational, not standard practice. Sandwich therapy still wins on level 1 evidence — the next frontier is knowing who can safely go without part of it. @DrFelixGuerrero @cdanicas @dralvaropinto @drenriquegrande @fcounago @docjavip @BerUrologia @DrJaVallejo @Maroto5Pablo @nachoduranm @RodriguezAntona @AnaPlatabello1 @Uro_Oncologist @Ecastromarcos @abraocantoMD @AlvarezMa89031 @scocmem @OncBrothers @Helena_de_Palma @F_lopez_campo @DrIacovelli @tompowles1 @mjuanfi81 @AndreaNecchi @Martin_AngelMD @cinthiavgauna @NicosiaMd @GiuliaMarvaso84 @ArkaitzLab @Dolmos77 @alvarojuarezs @Prof_Nick_James @Dav_Lorente @charlesryanmd @Uro_Dominguez @JaviMolinaC @g_develasco @tonivilaseca @MarioHArroyo @urbano_anido @DrRosenbergMSK @GuardConsortium

Top GU Oncology Updates – August–September 2026 The past eight weeks brought major updates across prostate, bladder, and kidney cancer, including phase 3 publications, regulatory actions, new radiation oncology guidance, and long-term randomized data. Key findings • PSMAddition showed improved radiographic progression-free survival with [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 added to ADT plus an ARPI in PSMA-positive mHSPC. • LITESPARK-011 demonstrated longer PFS with belzutifan plus lenvatinib versus cabozantinib after prior PD-1/PD-L1 therapy in advanced ccRCC. • VOLGA moved into FDA Priority Review after perioperative durvalumab plus neoadjuvant enfortumab vedotin improved event-free and overall survival in patients with MIBC who were ineligible for or declined cisplatin. • BOND-003 reported durable complete responses with intravesical cretostimogene in BCG-unresponsive NMIBC with carcinoma in situ. • ASTRO issued its first clinical practice guideline dedicated to radiation therapy for bladder cancer. • Eight-year PACE-A data showed high long-term disease control with both SBRT and prostatectomy, with important differences in patient-reported function. • NRG-GU005 found no superiority in urinary quality of life or disease-free survival with five-fraction SBRT versus moderately hypofractionated IMRT. • STEEL showed a progression-free survival signal with enzalutamide intensification during salvage radiotherapy in high-risk biochemical recurrence. • CHMP issued a positive opinion for perioperative enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab in resectable MIBC. • 68Ga-NYM096 received FDA Breakthrough Therapy and Fast Track designations for CAIX-targeted PET imaging in ccRCC. Takeaway: These updates reflect the continued movement of established therapies into earlier disease settings while highlighting the growing importance of imaging, toxicity monitoring, radiation expertise, and multidisciplinary care across GU Oncology.

⭐️EVOLUTE: Enfortumab Vedotin in Older Patients With Advanced/Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma The EVOLUTE real-world study evaluated enfortumab vedotin monotherapy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma, with a focus on age-related toxicity. Key findings • The multicenter retrospective cohort included 99 patients treated with enfortumab vedotin monotherapy. • Grade ≥3 toxicity was higher in patients aged ≥70 years than in younger patients: 44.2% vs 21.3%. • Age ≥70 years was the only independent predictor of severe toxicity. • Treatment discontinuation due to toxicity was more frequent in older patients: 34.6% vs 4.3%. • Median PFS and OS were not significantly different between older and younger patients. • No grade ≥3 toxicities occurred among 12 patients who received an upfront reduced dose. Takeaway: EVOLUTE suggests that enfortumab vedotin has comparable efficacy in older patients with advanced/metastatic urothelial carcinoma, but toxicity remains a major concern. Close monitoring is warranted, and upfront dose reduction requires prospective evaluation. @oncodaily 👉 https://t.co/MagxUaT6Ua #UrothelialCancer #GUOncology #OncoDaily

ツチノコ的ESMOレビュー① いきなり情報解禁前にデータが漏れるという大波乱の幕開けです。 モデルナの株価が25%下落の 大・暴・落!! 個別化mRNAがんワクチン 「intismeran autogene」 の第Ⅲ相試験、INTerpath-001ですね。 すでにデータが世に出てしまったため、ESMOが正式に情報解禁を前倒ししました。 これ、何をやっているかというと、、 患者さんのがんの遺伝子情報を調べて、その人のがんに特有の目印を狙うmRNAワクチンを作る。 それを使って、免疫に 「この目印のあるがん細胞を攻撃してくれ」 と教える治療です。 患者さんごとに作る、オーダーメイドのがんワクチンですね。 今回の対象は完全切除後のStage IIB〜IVの悪性黒色腫の患者さん1,137人。 ①個別化mRNAがんワクチン+キイトルーダ(Pembrolizumab) ②キイトルーダ単独 を比較しています。 結果は、、 【2年無再発生存率】 82.2% vs 70.0% HR 0.58、p<0.001 再発または死亡のリスクが42%低下。 【2年遠隔転移無生存率】 88.5% vs 80.2% HR 0.62、p=0.002 遠隔転移または死亡のリスクが38%低下。 Grade 3〜5の治療関連有害事象は 14.2% vs 13.4%でした。 全生存期間はまだ追跡が必要ですが、キイトルーダに上乗せして再発を減らしたというのは、臨床的には重要な結果だと思います。 ところが、、 モデルナの株価は、データ公開後に25%超下落したと報じられています。 「え、効いてるのに何で?」 ってなりますよね。 そもそもモデルナ株は、今回の治療への期待などから年初来500%超も上昇していました。 なので、良い結果が出ること自体は、すでに株価に織り込まれていたという話です。 加えて、先行する第Ⅱ相試験から期待されていたほどには 遠隔転移を抑える効果が大きくなかった、という受け止めもあったようです。 ただし、対象や追跡期間の違う試験をそのまま比較して「効果が落ちた」とは言えません。 個人的には、患者さんごとに作るmRNAがんワクチンが、第Ⅲ相で再発抑制効果を示したこと自体が大きいと思います。 ただ、これで色々ながんに効くと決まったわけではありません。 まずはメラノーマでの結果として評価して、OSと他のがん種の試験の結果を今後は見ていきたいですね。 ツチノコ的には数十年もすればゲノム含めがん治療は完全に個別化される可能性があると思っているので 標準治療の教育体系から変えていかなくてはならないのでは? という印象です。 公式資料: https://t.co/NWcEXu7k0B⁠ #ESMO26 米モデルナの株価が一時26%安 治験データ漏洩、期待に届かず:日本経済新聞 https://t.co/ZM4mZ3zM9N

[Slide 1] WHEN ONCOLOGY MOVES WALL STREET MV Onco PART 01/04 — WHY DID MODERNA STOCK JUMP? [Cartoon of a surprised man in a suit at a desk looking at a screen; speech bubble: "Why the sudden jump?"] [Screen graphic:] moderna (MRNA) $168.32 ↑ 9.27% September 21, 2026 • Intraday snapshot [rising green line/bar chart] 1 WHAT TRIGGERED THE RISE? • PERSONALIZED mRNA CANCER VACCINE Intismeran autogene (V940) • Moderna + Merck • Phase III — Melanoma • RFS + DMFS endpoints already met. • Now selected for ESMO 2026 Presidential Symposium. • October 24 — Detailed results expected. 3 WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? OCTOBER 24, 2026 4:30 PM CEST — ESMO Presidential Symposium 7:00 PM CEST — Moderna investor webcast Investors will watch: • Magnitude of clinical benefit • Safety and approval prospects • Commercial potential 4 FINAL STORY HOOK HOW CAN AN mRNA VACCINE FIGHT CANCER? Part 02 — The Science [Slide 2] WHEN ONCOLOGY MOVES WALL STREET MV Onco PART 02/04 — HOW DOES THE mRNA CANCER VACCINE WORK? 1 THE BIG QUESTION Tumors already have neoantigens. Why vaccinate? Tumor mutations → abnormal proteins → neoantigen peptides → HLA-I presentation. But antigen presence ≠ effective immunity. Why? Weak T-cell priming • Few tumor-reactive T cells • Immune suppression. Vaccine goal → strengthen tumor-specific T-cell immunity. 2 HOW IS THE VACCINE MADE? INTISMERAN AUTOGENE (V940) Moderna + Merck Tumor tissue + normal blood ↓ Identify tumor-specific mutations ↓ Select up to 34 patient-specific neoantigen sequences. ↓ Encode selected antigens into synthetic mRNA ↓ Package mRNA inside lipid nanoparticles LNP = lipid nanoparticle; protects and delivers mRNA. One patient → one individualized vaccine design. 3 WHAT HAPPENS AFTER INJECTION? Intramuscular mRNA-LNP injection ↓ Uptake by local cells and antigen-presenting cells ↓ mRNA released into cytoplasm ↓ Ribosomes produce encoded neoantigen proteins ↓ Proteins processed into peptides ↓ Dendritic cells present neoantigen peptides HLA-I → CD8+ T-cell activation HLA-II → CD4+ T-cell activation Direct presentation or cross-presentation. Important: mRNA does not alter DNA. 4 HOW DOES THE TUMOR GET KILLED? Activated CD8+ T cells enter circulation ↓ Reach residual tumor cells ↓ Recognize matching neoantigen-HLA-I complexes on tumor cells ↓ Perforin + granzymes → induce tumor-cell apoptosis. 5 WHY COMBINE WITH PEMBROLIZUMAB? Vaccine → primes tumor-specific T cells. Pembrolizumab → blocks PD-1 signaling, helping restore T-cell activity. Together → potentially stronger antitumor immunity. After surgery, the goal is to eliminate microscopic residual disease and reduce recurrence. Pembrolizumab cannot overcome every immune-escape mechanism. The vaccine remains investigational. FINAL TAKE-HOME The vaccine does not create new tumor targets. It strengthens T-cell recognition of neoantigens already present in the cancer. NEXT: DID IT ACTUALLY WORK? Part 03 — The Clinical Evidence. [Slide 3] WHEN ONCOLOGY MOVES WALL STREET PART 03/04 — DID THE mRNA VACCINE ACTUALLY WORK? MV Onco 1. THE FIRST RANDOMIZED TEST KEYNOTE-942 / mRNA-4157-P201 Phase IIb • 157 patients Completely resected high-risk melanoma. INTISMERAN AUTOGENE + PEMBROLIZUMAB versus PEMBROLIZUMAB ALONE The question: Can personalized vaccination reduce recurrence beyond PD-1 blockade? 2. DID IT PREVENT RECURRENCE? RECURRENCE-FREE SURVIVAL (RFS) At approximately five-year follow-up: HR 0.51 95% CI 0.294—0.887 49% relative reduction in hazard of recurrence or death. 3. DID IT REDUCE DISTANT METASTASES? DISTANT METASTASIS-FREE SURVIVAL (DMFS) HR 0.41 95% CI approximately 0.20—0.84 59% relative reduction in hazard of distant metastasis or death. 4. HOW DURABLE WAS THE BENEFIT? Four-year recurrence-free survival: 72.4% vs 49.1% Vaccine + pembrolizumab versus pembrolizumab. A meaningful absolute separation in the reported estimate. The favorable recurrence and distant-metastasis signals persisted with longer follow-up. But overall survival benefit was not established. 5. WHY DID THIS MATTER? A personalized mRNA vaccine demonstrated encouraging randomized clinical activity. Not simply an immune response in the laboratory. But Phase IIb was relatively small. A larger Phase III confirmation was essential. FINAL TAKE-HOME RFS HR 0.51 DMFS HR 0.41 Encouraging durable Phase IIb evidence for personalized mRNA vaccination in melanoma. NEXT — PHASE III, ESMO 2026 AND THE FUTURE Part 04 — The Big Test. [Slide 4] WHEN ONCOLOGY MOVES WALL STREET MV Onco PART 04/04 — THE PHASE III MOMENT 1 FROM PHASE IIb TO PHASE III INTerpath-001 – Phase III • 1,137 patients • Completely resected stage IIB–IV melanoma. • Intismeran autogene + pembrolizumab vs pembrolizumab alone. • Randomized, double-blind trial. • The question: Can Phase IIb benefit be confirmed? 2 THE BIG ANNOUNCEMENT AUGUST 19, 2026 Phase III topline results announced. • RFS endpoint MET • DMFS endpoint MET • Statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements reported. • Detailed hazard ratios and absolute survival benefits not yet publicly presented. • Positive topline ≠ complete clinical assessment. 3 WHY ESMO 2026 MATTERS OCTOBER 24, 2026 Late-breaking Presidential Symposium. INTerpath-001 — LBA1 What should oncologists examine? • RFS HR + absolute benefit • DMFS HR + absolute benefit • Overall survival maturity • Grade ≥3 toxicity and discontinuations • Stage-specific outcomes • The magnitude of benefit matters. 4 BEYOND MELANOMA Personalized mRNA vaccination is also being investigated in other cancers. • PANCREATIC CANCER – Phase I development. Intismeran autogene + FOLFIRINOX. • EARLY-STAGE NSCLC – INTerpath-014 • Phase III. High-risk resected stage I NSCLC. Vaccine-based adjuvant strategies under investigation. • Success in melanoma does not guarantee success in other cancers. 5 FROM SCIENCE TO WALL STREET MODERNA + MERCK • Positive clinical findings create potential for: – Regulatory submissions • New oncology treatments • Future commercial revenue • Important questions remain: – Can individualized manufacturing scale? • How long does production take? – What will treatment cost? • Will the benefit justify widespread adoption? • Moderna investor webcast — October 24, 7 PM CEST. FINAL TAKE-HOME PHASE IIb PROMISE ↓ PHASE III ENDPOINTS MET ↓ ESMO 2026 — DETAILED RESULTS AWAITED ↓ POTENTIAL NEW ERA OF PERSONALIZED IMMUNOTHERAPY THE SCIENCE MOVED WALL STREET. NOW THE DATA MUST JUSTIFY THE EXCITEMENT.

🚨 #ESMO26 | Phase III INTerpath-001 🚨 After an early embargo breach, @myESMO brought the abstract release forward!!!!!! And yes, it’s clearly positive: 📉 RFS HR 0.58 📉 DMFS HR 0.62 But here’s the uncomfortable part: SWOG S1801 also reported an HR 0.58…simply by moving 3 doses of pembrolizumab BEFORE surgery… ☝🏼Not the same population. Not the same endpoint. Not a cross-trial comparison. Still, in 2026, should a personalized mRNA vaccine really be benchmarked against adjuvant pembro alone? Before calling this a new standard, I want to see the vaccine face the NEOADJUVANT era. Same HR. Different path. And that may be the real INTerpath question 👀 @OncoAlert @OncoReporte @myESMO @_SEOM @GrupoMelanoma What do you think? @SuyogCancer @OncBrothers @A_May_MD @Dr_R_Kurzrock

[Slide 1] Results 1137 pts were randomized: 757 to intismeran + pembro, 380 to placebo + pembro; 726 (95.9%) received ≥1 dose of intismeran and 365 (96.1%) received ≥1 dose of placebo as planned. Median follow-up as of 30Jun2026 was 24.6 mo. Intismeran + pembro significantly improved RFS and DMFS compared with placebo + pembro (Table). Benefit was similar in stage IIB–IIIB and IIIC–IV MEL and other subgroups. For intismeran + pembro vs placebo + pembro, AEs were grade ≥3 in 23.6% vs 20.3%; 6.5% vs 5.3% discontinued both drugs simultaneously due to an AE. Most common AEs were pyrexia (52.2% vs 8.2%), injection site pain (51.0% vs 9.5%), and fatigue (38.5% vs 29.7%). Table: LBA1 | Intismeran + pembro (N = 757) | Placebo + pembro (N = 380) Recurrence-free survival (RFS) 24-mo rate, % (95% CI) | 82.2 (79.3–84.8) | 70.0 (65.0–74.5) HR (95% CI) | 0.58 (0.45–0.75) | — Two-sided P | <0.001 | — Distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) 24-mo rate, % (95% CI) | 88.5 (86.0–90.6) | 80.2 (75.6–84.0) HR (95% CI) | 0.62 (0.45–0.85) | — Two-sided P | 0.002 | —

PERSONALISED mRNA VACCINES: Why Adjuvant Before Metastatic? Generating neoantigen-specific T cells is only half the battle. 🟢 Adjuvant: Lower tumour burden, potentially favourable effector-to-target ratio. 🔴 Metastatic: Abnormal vasculature, stromal exclusion, immune suppression and antigen/HLA loss may limit tumour clearance. The key: T-cell priming ≠ Tumour elimination. INTerpath-001 explores the adjuvant approach. Biological rationale—not proof of superiority over metastatic vaccination. Reference: Weber JS et al.

WORLD-FIRST PERSONALISED THERAPEUTIC CANCER VACCINE REDUCES RISK OF MELANOMA RECURRENCE. Results of the phase 3 INTerpath-001 clinical trial, being presented by Professor Georgina Long at the ESMO2026 Congress, open the door to a new era of personalised cancer treatment. This international trial included 1137 patients across 157 sites, including 6 sites in Australia. The patients had undergone surgery to remove their melanoma, but were at high risk of it returning. The trial showed adding a personalised therapeutic cancer vaccine to standard immunotherapy treatment reduced the risk of recurrence or death by 42%. Unlike a traditional vaccine that prevents disease in healthy people, this is a therapeutic vaccine, designed for people who had cancer and are at high risk of the cancer returning after surgery. The vaccine is intismeran, a new type of treatment called individualised neoantigen therapy. It is designed specifically for each patient using tissue from their own tumour. Based on the unique identity of neoantigens in each patient’s tumour and using mRNA technology, a ‘wanted poster’ is created to help the immune system find and kill cancer cells, so the cancer is less likely to return or to spread. “These findings are a foundational shift in our approach to cancer: harnessing the immune system in a more personalised way to reduce the risk of melanoma recurrence or death. This has not been achieved before in the history of cancer drug development. It is the coming together of technology, our biological understanding of cancer and the immune system, and the courage to take this idea into the clinic.” – Professor Georgina Long AO, Principal Investigator These results now enter a regulatory review process which may take several years.

[Slide 1] [ESMO Congress Madrid 2026 banner: MADRID SPAIN 23-27 OCTOBER 2026] 2080P - Host inherited genetic variation and the risk of hepatitis following immune checkpoint immunotherapy (ICI) of melanoma Presentation Number 2080P Speakers Ahmad Tarhini (Tampa, United States of America) Authors Ahmad Tarhini (Tampa, United States of America), Zhihua Chen (Tampa, United States of America), Mohammad Ali Khaksar (Tampa, United States of America), Sandra Lee (Boston, United States of America), Frank Stephen Hodi (Boston, United States of America), Tingyi Li (Tampa, United States of America), Howard Streicher (Bethesda, United States of America), Vernon Sondak (Tampa, United States of America), John M. Kirkwood (Pittsburgh, United States of America), Xuefeng Wang (Tampa, United States of America), Peter Kanetsky (Tampa, United States of America) Date Sat, 24.10.2026 Time 12:00 - 12:45 Background Immune-mediated hepatitis (IMH) is a common toxicity following ICI and can be life-threatening. Predicting the risk of IMH may inform a more personalized approach to ICI treatment and patient (pt) follow up. Methods We conducted genome-wide genotyping on samples from 744 pts with melanoma enrolled in ECOG-ACRIN E1609 trial that tested ipilimumab. We used Illumina Infinium Global Screening Array v.3.0 + Multi-Disease BeadChip with 730059 designed loci. Genotypes called using Illumina Genome Studio 2.0 and IAAP CLI v1.1.0 and harmonized with the 1000 Genomes phase 3 references. We generated a cohort-derived polygenic risk score (cd-PRS) and separately investigated 17 published PRSs for inflammatory liver disease from patients not previously exposed to immunotherapy (PGS Catalog v20240318). Here, we report on the distribution of the PRSs and the occurrence of IMH, treating IMH grades as categorical (Kruskal-Wallis) and as dichotomous (Wilcoxon rank-sum) variables. Results IMH occurred in 207 (28%) pts (146 Gr1, 18 Gr2, 29 Gr3, 14 Gr4). There were no significant differences in the distribution of any of the PGS-derived PRSs across IMH grades, including after dichotomization. From our GWAS, we identified 10 independent SNPs associated with IMH and constructed a cd-PRS which was associated with IMH risk and severity both across grades (Kruskal-Wallis p < 2.2 × 10^-16) and after dichotomization (any grade vs. none; Wilcoxon p < 2.2 × 10^-16); in ROC analysis, the cd-PRS achieved an AUC of 0.81. Most of the SNPs identified mapped to intronic regions of genes with reported association to inflammation and autoimmunity. In survival analyses, occurrence of any-grade IMH was associated with improved overall survival (OS, p = 0.04), adjusting for primary tumor status and sex. Further analysis showed a dose-response relationship between the cd-PRS and survival, with higher PRS values associated with longer OS (HR 0.36, 95% CI 0.04 - 3.65, p = 0.39). Conclusions Our analysis supports an association between inherited genetic variation and the risk of IMH following ICI. These findings may have implications to better inform pt risk and follow-up in the clinic and warrant further investigation.

[Slide 1] [ESMO Congress Madrid 2026 banner: MADRID SPAIN 23-27 OCTOBER 2026] 2121P - Real-world outcomes among patients (pts) with resectable stage III melanoma treated with neoadjuvant nivolumab + relatlimab (N+R) or nivolumab + ipilimumab (N+I) in the US Presentation Number 2121P Speakers Michael Postow (New York, United States of America) Authors Michael Postow (New York, United States of America), Sekwon Jang (Fairfax, United States of America), Vincent T. Ma (Madison, United States of America), Masoom Priyadarshini (Princeton, United States of America), Oluwabunmi Emidio (Dublin, United States of America), Lisa C.

Lao (Ann Arbor, United States of America), Jennell Palaia (Cambridge, United States of America), Ahmad Tarhini (Tampa, United States of America) Date Sat, 24.10.2026 Time 12:00 - 12:45 Background: Dual checkpoint blockade with N+R or N+I has demonstrated efficacy in trials, but real-world evidence remains limited. This study assessed demographics, clinical characteristics, treatment (tx) patterns and outcomes among pts with melanoma receiving neoadjuvant immunotherapy (NIT) with N+R or N+I. Methods: This retrospective chart review used de-identified physician-abstracted data from the Cardinal Health Oncology Provider Extended Network. Adults with systemic tx-naive, stage III resectable melanoma initiating NIT with N+R or N+I on/after March 18, 2022 were selected in order of tx initiation date. Follow-up of 6 mo was required, but deaths <6 mo were included as events. Descriptive statistics and Kaplan–Meier methods assessed event-free survival (EFS), distant-metastasis free survival (DMFS), and overall survival (OS). Inverse probability of tx weighting (IPTW) analysis was conducted as sensitivity analysis. Results: The study included 100 pts (N+R, n=50; N+I, n=50) with median age 60 (N+R) and 57 (N+I) years. N+R vs N+I had more pts with ECOG PS ≥ 2 (30% vs 8%), higher NCI comorbidity burden (median, 0.47 vs 0.0), and higher LDH levels (median, 296 vs 193 IU/L). Overall, 92% of pts in N+R and N+I cohorts underwent surgical resection followed by systemic adjuvant therapy in most (N+R, 67%; N+I, 54%). Among resected pts, major pathologic response (MPR; <10% viable tumor) was observed in 78% of N+R and 70% of N+I pts. Pathologic complete response (pCR; 0% viable tumor), a subset of MPR, occurred in 33% and 30%, respectively. With median follow-up of 8.8 mo in N+R and 8.7 mo in N+I, 9-mo survival rates for N+R/N+I cohorts were: EFS, 92/91%; DMFS, 93/95%; OS, 93/98%. Post IPTW analysis, pCR occurred in 40% N+R pts and 26% N+I pts; 9-mo survival rates (N+R/N+I) were: EFS, 93/83%; DMFS, 96/86%; OS, 96/88%. Conclusions: Acknowledging the limited follow-up, NIT with N+R and N+I results were comparable, with IPTW-adjusted analyses showing a trend toward improved pCR and survival with N+R. Findings support the utility of dual NIT in stage III resectable melanoma. Study limitations included short-term follow-up, unmeasured confounders, and pt selection bias.

[Slide 1] [ESMO Congress Madrid 2026 banner: MADRID SPAIN 23-27 OCTOBER 2026] 2202eP - Clinical outcomes and treatment patterns in non-metastatic melanoma: A surveillance, epidemiology, and end results (SEER)-medicare analysis Presentation Number 2202eP Speakers Ahmad Tarhini (Tampa, United States of America) Authors Ahmad Tarhini (Tampa, United States of America), Marianne Cunnington (London, United Kingdom), Angela Lax (Boston, United States of America), Adina Zhang (San Francisco, United States of America), Mei Sheng S. Duh (Menlo Park, United States of America), Maral DerSarkissian (Menlo Park, United States of America), Vanja Sikirica (Cambridge, United States of America), Yidan Ma (Boston, United States of America), Alexandra Barry (Boston, United States of America), Leah B. Sansbury (Cambridge, United States of America) Background: Melanoma remains the most serious form of skin cancer. Understanding treatment patterns and clinical outcomes across stages of non-metastatic melanoma is critical to optimize outcomes. Methods: Patients (pts) ≥66 years with Stage I–III melanoma were identified in SEER-Medicare linked claims (01/2019–12/2021) and stratified by stage at diagnosis. Baseline characteristics were assessed during the 12 months pre-diagnosis. Treatment patterns, recurrence-free survival (RFS; defined using a validated claims-based algorithm [Tarhini 2018]), and overall survival (OS) were evaluated post-diagnosis through end of 2022. Treatment patterns were summarized descriptively. Kaplan-Meier methods were used for OS and RFS, with censoring at end of continuous Medicare eligibility or data availability. Outcomes were reported overall, by stage, and for Stage II/III sub-stages. Results: A total of 3,978 Stage I, 1,021 Stage II, and 484 Stage III pts were included; mean ages were 75.7, 79.1, and 76.4 years, respectively. The most common primary tumor sites were arm (Stage I, 30.8%), head/neck (Stage II, 34.5%), and trunk (Stage III, 25.8%). Over a median 2-year follow-up, 47.3% of Stage III pts received surgery with adjuvant therapy, most commonly immunotherapy (88.4%), vs 6.8% of Stage IIB/C pts. Neoadjuvant therapy was rare (3.9% in Stage III). Median RFS and OS by stage and sub-stage are shown in the table. RFS decreased with increasing stage at diagnosis. Median OS was not reached; 3-year OS rates were lowest for Stage IIC and IIIC/D. Table: 2202eP RFS and OS | | Stage I Overall N=3,978 | Stage II Overall N=1,021 | Stage IIA N=438 | Stage IIB N=341 | Stage IIC N=218 | Stage III Overall N=484 | Stage IIIA N=55 | Stage IIIB N=81 | Stage IIIC/D N=250 | RFS Median (95% CI), months | 31.5 (29.3, 33.7) | 17.6 (15.4, 20.1) | 20.1 (15.9, 23.3) | 19.0 (15.8, 21.9) | 13.8 (11.5, 16.0) | 6.5 (5.9, 7.1) | 11.7 (8.0, 15.2) | 8.3 (6.2, 13.4) | 5.7 (5.2, 6.2) Rate at 3 years, % | 46.0 | 29.2 | 33.0 | 29.2 | 20.1 | 11.6 | 17.6 | 20.1 | 7.7 OS Rate at 3 years, % | 90.5 | 71.7 | 81.2 | 71.2 | 51.5 | 69.0 | 89.9 | 88.2 | 57.0 Conclusions: Pts with non-metastatic melanoma, particularly with advanced Stage II and III disease, show variation in outcomes by sub-stage with poorer outcomes in Stage IIC and IIIC/D. Neoadjuvant therapies were rare in our cohort, and adjuvant therapy was uncommon in Stage IIB/C pts. These findings highlight the importance of early detection and the unmet need and recurrence burden in advanced Stage II and III disease.

【どんな企業?】 モデルナ(MRNA)は、mRNA技術を使う米国の医薬品企業です。 新型コロナなどのワクチンを販売し、がんや希少疾患の治療薬も開発しています。 メルクと開発するintismeran autogene(mRNA-4157)は、患者のがんの特徴に合わせて免疫反応を促す未承認の治療候補です。 【市場で注目された点】 2026年8月19日、皮膚がんの一種メラノーマの完全切除後の患者を対象とした第3相試験INTerpath-001で、事前規定の中間解析における評価項目の達成を発表しました。 キイトルーダとの併用で、キイトルーダ単独に比べ再発・死亡と遠隔転移・死亡のリスクを抑えました。 既存治療を上回った結果は、感染症予防に加えてがん治療へ収益源を広げる根拠になると考えます。 ただ、全生存期間の検証は続き、試験成功は承認を意味しません。 2026年4~6月の研究開発費は6.51億ドル、6月末の現金・投資資産などは69億ドルです。 その後7月に和解金9.5億ドルを支払っており、69億ドルは支払い前の残高です。 この候補の申請・承認が遅れ、開発費が資金を削り続けるなら、がん治療の将来売上への期待も割り引いて考えます。

ADC drug development is accelerating. But is biomarker science keeping pace? Nearly 50% of ADC trials require no biomarker, while most that do still rely on conventional IHC. In our new @NatRevClinOncol review published just in time pre-#ESMO26, we propose a modular framework to bridge this gap - moving beyond target expression to the multiple biological determinants of ADC efficacy and toxicity. Proud to lead this international effort with @BarbaraPistill2 @nedmcnamee @rreddel @VivekSubbiah and colleagues. 🔗: https://t.co/afCu0r9vP1

[Slide 1] nature reviews clinical oncology https://doi.org/10.1038/s41571-026-01213-3 Review article A modular framework for antibody–drug conjugate biomarkers Jia Liu 1,2,3,4, Dan-Yun Ruan 5,6, Nicholas McNamee 4, Roger R. Reddel 4, Hao-Xiang Wu 5,6, Qi Meng 5,6, Rui-Hua Xu 6,7, Vivek Subbiah 8, David L. Rimm 9 & Barbara Pistilli 10,11,12 Abstract The availability of approved antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) has rapidly expanded across oncology indications, yet biomarker development remains dominated by semi-quantitative immunohistochemistry. Robust biomarkers are needed to improve patient selection, guide therapeutic sequencing and identify resistance mechanisms that inform rational combinations. ADC activity depends on target antigen expression, linker chemistry and payload characteristics all within the context of the tumour microenvironment. Consequently, treatment response cannot be predicted solely by target expression. A more comprehensive biomarker framework is required that accounts for antigen abundance and accessibility, intracellular trafficking and linker cleavage, and tumour susceptibility to the payload. Furthermore, biomarkers of toxicity have been largely overlooked, even though toxicity can be equally determinant of clinical utility. In this Review, we outline a modular framework for ADC biomarker development organized around these components. We distinguish established evidence from emerging strategies and discuss technologies that could enable assessment of these determinants. We consider how modular biomarkers might inform patient selection, therapeutic sequencing, rational combinations, dose optimization and regulatory strategy while highlighting the various challenges that must be addressed before broad clinical adoption. Harmonized development across trials, tumour types and geographical regions will be essential to move biomarker development beyond empirical target-expression thresholds.

Jia (Jenny) Liu MD PhD ESMO 2026 slide: ESMO Principles for Humanising Science Reporting
Every Kaplan–Meier curve represents someone’s life. As we head into #ESMO26, these 10 principles for humanising science reporting are an important reminder that how we communicate cancer research matters as much as what we report. Beyond hazard ratios, response rates and p-values, we need to ask: 🔹 What does this mean for patients? 🔹 What is the treatment burden? 🔹 Who can actually access this innovation? 🔹 What uncertainties remain? Good science reporting doesn’t just communicate results. It communicates why they matter. Excellent guidance from @myESMO. 👏

[Slide 1] ESMO Principles for Humanising Science Reporting 1. Put patients at the centre of the story Every dataset represents people living with cancer. Introduce the patient population clearly and explain why the research question matters to patients and those involved in their care. 2. Use patient-centred language Use terminology that accurately describes the disease, tumour or treatment rather than defining people by their condition. Avoid language that may be perceived as objectifying, stigmatising or inconsistent with current standards. 3. Start with the unmet need Before presenting methods or endpoints, briefly explain the clinical challenge the study seeks to address and why it is important for patients. 4. Explain the relevance of the results Alongside reporting statistical outcomes, explain what the findings may mean for patients in practical terms. Scientific accuracy remains paramount, but the potential clinical relevance must also be clear. 5. Include a patient-focused take-home message Where appropriate, ensure that key results are accompanied by a clear statement describing their potential implications for patients, in addition to the statistical findings. 6. Consider the broader patient experience When available, include information on quality of life, symptom and treatment burden, functional outcomes, monitoring requirements and caregiver impact alongside efficacy and safety results. 7. Communicate clearly and accessibly Define abbreviations on first use, minimise unnecessary jargon and use terminology that can be understood by the wider oncology community. 8. Acknowledge those who made the research possible Recognise the contribution of the patients who participated in the trial and, where relevant, any patient advocates or representatives involved in study design. Highlight their absence where appropriate. 9. Consider access, equity and remaining uncertainties Discuss important practical considerations including access to treatment, required resources, testing needs and unresolved questions. Understanding both opportunities and limitations supports informed decision-making and shows respect for those ultimately being impacted. 10. Illustrate the human impact where appropriate When relevant and scientifically appropriate, consider using patient stories, experiences or perspectives to help contextualise the importance of the research findings.

[Slide 1] MADRID 2026 ESMO congress MADRID, SPAIN 23-27 OCTOBER 2026 | IFEMA MADRID FIRST TIME AT ESMO 2026? A quick guide to surviving Madrid Great science. New perspectives. Amazing people. See you there! 1 IFEMA looks manageable on the map... Spoiler: it isn't. Hall-to-hall walks add up fast. Build in transfer time. Metro stop: Feria de Madrid (Line 8) 2 Choose your non-negotiables. Pick your Presidential / Plenary / late-breaking must-sees first. Then build the rest of your day around them. Trying to do everything = missing the important bits. 3 Do not stop at the headline. Check the control arm. Look at absolute benefit, not just the hazard ratio. Toxicity and patient selection matter. 4 The poster area is not a side quest. Some of the best practical discussions happen there. Ask about biomarkers, sequencing, and real-world applicability. 5 Save the discussion slides. The discussant's take and the Q&A often give more nuance than the main presentation. 6 Conference survival kit. Comfortable shoes · Light layer for freezing session rooms · Power bank · Reusable bottle 7 You can catch up later. If two great sessions overlap, choose one and let the other go. Congress resources and webcasts can help after the meeting. 8 Network on purpose. Set up 2–3 meaningful coffee chats. The real science also happens in hallways, lounges, and after sessions. Important tip! Do NOT try to see everything. · the best sessions always overlap · you will improvise anyway · leave space for unexpected conversations And remember: You won't see it all. But you can absolutely enjoy the experience. ESMO is not only about positive trials. It is also about perspective, discussion, and the people you meet around the data.

Can AI become a new biomarker layer in oncology? At #ESMO26, Nikolaus Schultz, PhD, @MSKCancerCenter, will explore how genomics, pathology, imaging and longitudinal real-world data can be integrated to predict outcomes more precisely. The promise is compelling-but prediction is not clinical utility. External validation, bias control and reproducibility will determine whether these models truly improve decisions. What matters most before AI enters routine oncology: accuracy, generalizability or clinical impact?

[Slide 1] 4155RO - Rivoceranib in patients with pretreated metastatic thymic epithelial tumors: Phase II multi-center KCSG LU23-09 (THRIVE) trial Speakers Sehhoon Park (Seoul, Republic of Korea) Lecture Time 11:02 - 11:07 Abstract Background Metastatic thymic epithelial tumors (TETs) are rare malignancies with limited options beyond cytotoxic chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Prior studies have shown that anti-angiogenic tyrosine kinase inhibitors produce meaningful clinical activity . Rivoceranib is a highly selective oral VEGFR-2 inhibitor. We report the updated efficacy and safety analysis in pretreated metastatic TET. Methods THRIVE (KCSG LU23-09) is an open-label, single-arm, phase II trial at 11 Korean sites. Patients with metastatic thymoma (WHO A, B1, B2, B3) or thymic carcinoma, who had received ≥1 prior systemic therapy, received rivoceranib 700 mg orally once daily until progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was investigator-assessed objective response rate (ORR); secondary endpoints were disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), duration of response (DoR), overall survival (OS) and safety. Results From Sep 2024 to Feb 2025, 43 patients were screened, and 40 patients received rivoceranib. Median age was 60 years (29–82), 62.5% were male, and either ECOG of 0 or 1 (32.5%, 67.5%). Thymic carcinoma 24 (60.0%), thymoma 16 (40.0%), including thymoma A, B1, B2, B3 (2.5%, 7.5%, 20.0%, 10.0%, respectively). Confirmed ORR was 35.0% (14/40; 95% CI 22.1–50.5; all PRs) and DCR 85.0%. At data cutoff (Apr 2026), median follow-up duration was 13.6 months (95% CI 12.8-13.8). Median PFS was 11.8 months (95% CI 7.2-NR) overall, not reached (95% CI 5.5-NR) in thymoma and 10.0 months (95% CI 5.9-NR) in carcinoma. OS was NR (95% CI 12.6-NR). Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurred in 97.5%, grade ≥3 in 55.0% patients. Common grade ≥3 were hypertension (22.5%), proteinuria (17.5%), and stomatitis/anemia (10.0% each), all manageable with appropriate treatment. No grade-5 events occurred. TRAEs led to dose reduction, interruption, and discontinuation in 67.5%, 55.0%, and 7.5%, respectively. Conclusions Rivoceranib showed durable antitumor activity in pretreated metastatic TET, with similar response rates across histologies but longer disease control in thymoma. Toxicity was consistent with the VEGFR-2 inhibitor class and manageable, supporting rivoceranib as a treatment option for metastatic TET.

[Slide 1] ESMO 2026 Industry Satellite Symposium AI-Enabled Multi-omic Liquid Biopsy Across the Cancer Care Continuum: From Technological Innovation to Scalable Clinical Implementation #FacultyNote Next-generation MCED brings together complementary biological signals to improve early-stage cancer detection. By integrating multiple cfDNA features through machine learning, we developed an approach that was prospectively evaluated in more than 9,000 asymptomatic adults and subsequently used in real-world practice among more than 100,000 individuals in 10 Asian countries. The evidence generated across these settings represents an important step toward broader clinical implementation in diverse healthcare systems.

About this slide library

What is the ESMO 2026 slide library?

A curated gallery of the 672 infographics and conference-slide photos that oncologists, societies, media and companies posted on X around the ESMO Congress 2026 (Madrid, October 23–27), compiled by KOL Pulse. Each card links to the original post and keeps the author's full text.

How is it organized?

Nine sections in a fixed order: Top-10 & list posts, Lung, Breast, GI, GU, Melanoma, Hematology, Gyn oncology and Other. A card's tumor type comes from the clinical trials it names (via the KOL Pulse trial registry) or, failing that, from the post and slide text; list posts appear in Top-10 and, when one tumor type dominates, in that section too. Within a section physician posts come first, then by reach.

How do I filter by trial or by KOL?

Use the chips to pick a section, the "Filter by trial" menu to keep only cards naming a trial, and the KOL menu or the "Built by" avatars to keep one author. Filters combine; the counts update to show only combinations that have results, and "Clear filters" or the Escape key resets. Every state has a shareable link, for example #lung&kol=glopesmd.

What is the OCR text under each slide and why is it there?

"View OCR Text" opens a verbatim transcription of the slide image, produced by vision transcription and checked by our gibberish gate; survival curves are captured as the printed numbers only, never read off the curve. It makes slide content searchable, quotable and readable by AI assistants, which cannot see text inside images.

Can I use this page with my own AI assistant (NotebookLM, Perplexity, Claude, ChatGPT)?

Yes. Paste the page URL, or a filtered link, into your assistant and ask questions against it. Example prompt: "From the slide transcriptions on this page, list every place a speaker argued the standard of care is changing, with the speaker, session and the exact slide text."

Compiled and reviewed by the KOL Pulse research team, led by Brian Shields, Founder, KOL Pulse. Last updated October 23, 2026. Every card links to its original post; slide text is a verbatim transcription.
