[Slide 1] Proffered Paper session LBA8 - Ivonescimab plus chemotherapy versus durvalumab plus chemotherapy as first-line treatment for advanced biliary tract cancer: A randomized, controlled, double-blinded, phase 3 trial (HARMONi-GI1) Speakers Jian Zhou (Shanghai, China) Lecture Time 17:42 - 17:54 Abstract Background Durvalumab plus chemotherapy (chemo) is the standard first-line treatment for advanced biliary tract cancer (BTC). In the current phase 3 study conducted in China, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of ivonescimab, a PD-1/VEGF bispecific antibody, plus chemo versus durvalumab plus chemo as first-line treatment for advanced BTC. Here we report the results from the preplanned interim analysis. [Slide 2] Results 682 patients were randomized (ivonescimab: 340; durvalumab: 342). Baseline characteristics were balanced between arms. Median follow-up was 14.3 months. The primary endpoint was met. Median OS was significantly improved with ivonescimab plus chemo versus durvalumab plus chemo (14.9 vs. 12.1 months; HR 0.75, 95% CI 0.61-0.92, P = 0.0031). Median PFS was 8.4 vs. 5.8 months (HR 0.61, 95% CI 0.51-0.72, P <0.0001). The ORR was 53.8 % vs. 32.5 % (P <0.0001). Treatment-related adverse events were generally well tolerated, with a manageable safety profile. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were haematological toxicity. No new safety signals were identified for ivonescimab. Conclusions Ivonescimab plus chemo significantly improved OS, PFS and ORR in patients with advanced BTC compared with durvalumab plus chemo, with a manageable safety profile. These results support ivonescimab plus chemo as a potential new first-line standard of care for advanced BTC. [Slide 3] Methods Eligible patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic BTC were stratified by disease status (locally advanced vs. metastatic) and primary tumor location (intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma vs. extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma vs. gallbladder cancer), and randomized 1:1 to receive ivonescimab or durvalumab plus gemcitabine and cisplatin (Q3W, 8 cycles), followed by ivonescimab or durvalumab maintenance therapy. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). Key secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS) and objective response rate (ORR).

#ESMO26 | CLARITY-Gastric01 Doubling OS from 5 to 10 months with the CLDN18.2-targeted ADC sonesitatug vedotin in ≥3L is impressive (HR 0.47). Benefit even in patients with lower CLDN18.2 expression is encouraging. However, the primary PFS endpoint was not met in the ITT population. Its role in 2L and efficacy after zolbetuximab remain unclear. one question: Given that CLDN18.2 expression can change after treatment, should a fresh biopsy have been mandatory at study enrollment? Or does lowering the positivity cutoff to ≥25% reduce the clinical relevance of this discordance, making archival tissue sufficient?

The analysis was based on the Kaplan-Meier technique and was performed using an unstratified Cox proportional hazards model. The overall HR was calculated using a stratified Cox proportional hazards model, adjusting for Interactive Response Technology strata, including prior gastrectomy, region and line of therapy and using an implemented pooling strategy per the statistical analysis plan with treatment as the only covariate. Ties were handled by the Efron approach. CIs were calculated using a profile likelihood approach. A HR below 1 favours Sone-Ve. Because PFS and OS were the only endpoints that were part of the multiple testing procedure, the widths of the CIs for subgroups have not been adjusted for multiplicity and may not be used in place of hypothesis testing.

Slide: summary of results table: sonesitatug vedotin vs investigator's choice, OS and PFS in 3L+
ツチノコ的ESMOレビュー⑪ 胃がんのもう一つのCLDN18.2を狙うADCです。 今回はこちら、 「CLARITY-Gastric01」 CLDN18.2を狙うADC 「sonesitatug vedotin」 (ソネシタツグ ベドチン) の第Ⅲ相試験です。 (これCLDN系は抗体はtug系っぽいですね。) ツチノコ的ESMOレビュー④のArcotatug tavatecanのライバルになります。 https://t.co/0JWvQ5K8Vo がん細胞の表面にあるCLDN18.2という目印を見つけて、抗がん剤を届ける治療は一緒です。 搭載している爆弾は「MMAE」。 細胞分裂に必要な微小管の働きを邪魔する薬ですね。 ADCといえばトポイソメラーゼⅠ阻害薬を搭載したものが目立ちますが、こちらは違うタイプです。 今回の対象は、すでに治療を受けた進行胃がんなどの患者さん。 二次治療以降で、Sone-Ve単剤と医師が選択した治療を比較しました。 結果は、、 主要評価項目である三次治療以降の全生存期間が、 Sone-Ve:10.0か月 対照群:5.0か月 HR 0.47、p<0.000001。 生存期間の中央値が約2倍となっています。 さらに、二次治療以降の全体532人でも、 Sone-Ve:10.6か月 対照群:6.4か月 HR 0.58、p<0.000004。 これは注目したい結果ですね。 そして、もう一つ面白いのが、、 CLDN18.2の条件が、 「染色の強さを問わず、腫瘍細胞の25%以上に発現」 だったこと。 発現が25%以上75%未満の群でも、OSのHRは0.63でした。 強く発現している患者さんだけでなく、対象を広げられる可能性があります。 ただし、ここで一つ大事な点があります。 もう一つの主要評価項目である、中央判定の無増悪生存期間は、 4.2か月 vs 3.8か月 HR 0.77、p=0.053。 こちらは統計学的有意差に届いていません。 つまり、、 「がんが進行するまでの期間では有意差がつかなかったが、全生存期間は延長した」 という結果です。 ここは気になります?? ライバルのArcotatug tavatecanはPFSでも効果を示したのでこれは難しい。 後治療の影響や画像評価の違いなど、なぜこの乖離が生じたのかは詳細を確認したいところです。 ただし、Arcotatug tavatecanはCLDN75%以上陽性なので対象選択の問題もあるかもしれません。 Grade 3以上の治療関連有害事象は、 36.4% vs 44.8%。 少なくとも、重い副作用が増えて得られた生存期間の延長という結果ではありません。 副作用パラメータは追えてませんが、同じ薬剤の他の発表で悪心が6%ほどなのでArcotatug tavatecanの方がやや使いやすいかも?? 使い分けとしてはCLDN陽性75%以上はArcotatug tavatecan それ以外はsonesitatug vedotinみたいな感じ?? 少なくともADCが標準治療にはなりそうですが、これも1次治療にどうせ上がってきそうなので 今後の使い分けも非常に大事かなと思います。 Sonesitatug vedotin reduced the risk of death by 42% in 2nd- and later-line CLDN18.2-positive advanced gastric/GEJ cancers in CLARITY-Gastric01 - AstraZeneca https://t.co/CouYIPpwrz

[Slide 1] Proffered Paper session LBA7 - CLARITY-Gastric 01 (CG-01): A phase 3 study of sonesitatug vedotin (Sone-Ve) in second or later-line (2L+) advanced or metastatic Claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2)-positive gastroesophageal carcinoma (GEC) Speakers Rui-Hua Xu (Guangzhou, China) Lecture Time 17:18 - 17:30 Abstract Background CLDN18.2 is a validated therapeutic target in advanced GEC. Sone-Ve, a CLDN18.2-targeting monomethyl auristatin E–based antibody drug conjugate, demonstrated clinical activity in phase 1/2 studies of advanced GEC. [Slide 2] Methods CG-01 is a randomised, open-label, global, phase 3 study of Sone-Ve vs investigator's choice of therapy (INV) after ≥1 prior therapy for GEC expressing CLDN18.2 in ≥25% tumour cells with membranous staining at any intensity. Participants (pts) with 2L+ unresectable, locally advanced/metastatic CLDN18.2-positive GEC (intent-to-treat population: ITT) were initially randomised 1:1:1 to Sone-Ve 1.8 mg/kg, Sone-Ve 2.2 mg/kg or INV. Post-dose selection, pts were randomised 1:1 to Sone-Ve 2.2 mg/kg or INV (2L: ramucirumab + paclitaxel, paclitaxel, or docetaxel; 3L+: irinotecan, trifluridine/tipiracil, or apatinib [China only]). Randomisation was stratified by region, prior gastrectomy and line of therapy. Dual primary endpoints are OS in 3L+ and progression-free survival (PFS) by BICR in ITT. Key secondary endpoint is OS in ITT. [Slide 3] Proffered Paper session | 3L+ Sone-Ve (n=178) | INV (n=177) Median OS (95% CI), mo | 10.0 (7.2–11.4) | 5.0 (4.2–6.4) HR (95% CI) | 0.47 (0.36–0.62) | p-value | <0.001 | | ITT (2L+) (n=267) | (n=265) Median OS (95% CI), mo | 10.6 (9.1–12.0) | 6.4 (5.8–7.6) HR (95% CI) | 0.58 (0.47–0.73) | p-value | <0.001 | Median PFS by BICR (95% CI), mo | 4.2 (3.5–5.3) | 3.8 (3.0–4.2) HR (95% CI) | 0.77 (0.62–0.96) | p-value | 0.05 | | SAS* (n=261) | (n=252) TRAE, n (%) | | Any | 224 (85.8) | 205 (81.3) Grade ≥3 | 95 (36.4) | 113 (44.8) Gastrointestinal toxicity | 29 (11.1) | 16 (6.3) Haematology | 20 (7.7) | 40 (15.9) Leading to death | 3 (1.1) | 2 (0.8) Leading to discontinuation | 8 (3.1) | 11 (4.4) *SAS, safety analysis set; all pts who received ≥1 dose. TRAE, treatment-related adverse event. [Slide 4] Conclusions CG-01 showed a significant OS benefit with Sone-Ve vs INV in 3L+ and ITT, with a manageable safety profile. These findings support Sone-Ve as a potential 2L+ treatment for a broad patient population with advanced CLDN18.2-positive GEC.

[Slide 1] 16:30 - 18:15 Presidential Symposium II CHAIRS: GIUSEPPE CURIGLIANO, YELENA JANJIGIAN Conclusions CLARITY-Gastric01 is the first global, Phase 3 trial to demonstrate a statistically significant OS benefit and a manageable safety profile with a CLDN18.2 targeting antibody-drug conjugate in patients with previously treated advanced or metastatic CLDN18.2-positive GEC (defined as ≥25% tumour cells with membraneous staining at any intensity) Sone-Ve showed a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in OS versus investigator's choice of therapy • Median OS was doubled to 10 months in the 3L+ population and improved by over 4 months to 10.6 months in the ITT (2L+) population • OS benefit was maintained across CLDN18.2 expression subgroups PFS by BICR in ITT (HR 0.77) did not reach the threshold for statistical significance • PFS by BICR in 3L+ was improved with Sone-Ve versus investigator's choice of therapy (HR 0.56) • Assessment of PFS by investigator in ITT showed a more pronounced treatment effect (HR 0.59) than by BICR Sone-Ve demonstrated a differentiated and manageable safety profile versus investigator's choice of therapy Sone-Ve is a potential new standard of care in the 2L+ setting for patients with advanced or metastatic CLDN18.2-positive gastroesophageal carcinoma 2L, second- or later-line; 3L+, third- or later-line; BICR, blinded independent central review; CLDN18.2, Claudin18 isoform 2; HR, hazard ratio; ITT, intent-to-treat; OS, overall survival; PFS, progression-free survival; Sone-Ve, sonesitatug vedotin.

The analysis was based on the Kaplan-Meier technique and was performed using an unstratified Cox proportional hazards model. The overall HR was calculated using a stratified Cox proportional hazards model, adjusting for Interactive Response Technology strata, including prior gastrectomy, region and line of therapy and using an implemented pooling strategy per the statistical analysis plan with treatment as the only covariate. Ties were handled by the Efron approach. CIs were calculated using a profile likelihood approach. A HR below 1 favours Sone-Ve. Because PFS and OS were the only endpoints that were part of the multiple testing procedure, the widths of the CIs for subgroups have not been adjusted for multiplicity and may not be used in place of hypothesis testing.

AZUR-1 delivers. #ESMO26 Phase 2, single arm. Dostarlimab x 9 cycles (6 months) in untreated stage II/III dMMR/MSI-H rectal cancer, 154 patients. Cercek's 49-patient NEJM cohort gone global. No control arm, because randomizing these patients to TNT/TME isn't equitable. cCR12 (complete response held 12+ months, no further treatment):
68% by investigator. 

26% needed additional treatment
10% went to surgery 68% is likely lower than reality since many patients probably just needed more time to radiographically respond. Using PET/Biopsy/ctDNA, especially ctDNA, is incredibly helpful in my practice to identify patients who can avoid TME even if a fibrotic tumor remains as they often do. FDA already gave accelerated approval (way to steal the ESMO thunder) last week which leads me to my next point. Obvious new standard of care. You should go to oncology jail if you don't treat MSI-H with IO. @OncoAlert @TheGutOncLab @Onco_Nexus

LBA87 - Clinical complete response with dostarlimab monotherapy in dMMR/MSI-H locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC): First results from the global registrational AZUR-1 trial Speakers Andrea Cercek (New York, United States of America, NY) Lecture Time 11:00 - 11:10 Abstract Background Multimodal treatment with chemotherapy, radiation and surgery is a standard of care (SOC) for LARC associated with significant toxicity/morbidity. After TNT, the range of clinical complete response (cCR) is 21–41%. dMMR/MSI-H tumours are exceptionally responsive to PD-1 blockade: in a small study, neoadjuvant dostarlimab treatment led to durable cCRs and eliminated the need for SOC in most patients (pts) with LARC. AZUR-1 (NCT05723562) is a global single-arm trial and the first registrational study evaluating the clinical benefit of dostarlimab monotherapy in pts with dMMR/MSI-H LARC. Methods Dostarlimab 500 mg was administered IV every 3 weeks for 9 cycles. Key endpoints include rate of sustained cCR for 12 months (cCR12) following end of treatment (EOT) with dostarlimab alone by investigator (INV) and independent central review (ICR), and composite rate of cCR12 (INV) + pathological CR (pCR). Results At data cutoff (DCO, 20 April 2026), 154 pts were enrolled and median follow-up was 26.3 months (range 2–36). Of 144 pts with ≥12 months follow-up, 68% achieved cCR12 (INV). Of 15 pts who underwent surgery after dostarlimab alone, 12 (80%) had pCR, resulting in a cCR12+pCR rate of 76%. Fewer pts were cCR12-evaluable by ICR, primarily due to cCR being confirmed later by ICR after initial EOT evaluation. Of pts evaluable by ICR, 47% (54/116) achieved cCR12, with 38 pts in cCR and being followed for cCR12 at DCO. 98% of pts who achieved cCR remained in cCR for ≥12 months by INV or ICR, with no recurrences to date for pts who achieved cCR or pCR. Overall, 93% of patients are in surveillance with no evidence of disease progression after treatment (dostarlimab ± SOC) and 71% achieved this outcome with dostarlimab alone. The safety profile was acceptable: 88% of pts completed all 9 cycles of dostarlimab and Grade ≥3 immune-mediated AEs occurred in 4 pts. Conclusions In this AZUR-1 interim analysis, 68% of pts achieved cCR12 and 76% achieved cCR12+pCR with dostarlimab alone with no disease recurrences to date. These durable responses indicate the potential to eliminate the need for chemotherapy, radiation and surgery, and redefine the curative-intent treatment paradigm for pts with dMMR/MSI-H LARC.

🚨 ESMO 2026 | SANO Trial (LBA78): 5-Year Result Active surveillance vs surgery (N=309) 🔹 5-year OS: 50% vs 54% (HR 1.17; 95% CI 0.77–1.77) 🔹 DFS: HR 1.39 (95% CI 0.94–2.06) 🔹 5-year distant metastases: 46% vs 29% (p<0.01) 🔹 43% in the surveillance arm were spared a non-beneficial oesophagectomy. An important organ-preservation strategy, but the higher distant metastasis rate is concerning. Would you recommend active surveillance over surgery for a patient achieving complete clinical response? #ESMO26 #EsophagealCancer #SANO @myESMO @NiuSanford @OncoAlert @OncBrothers

[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.

Sano trial; No significant OS difference does not establish equivalence!!!! Higher 5-year distant metastasis incidence with active surveillance (46% vs 29%; p<0.01) is clinically concerning and deserves attention!!! @myESMO @OncoAlert #ESMO26 @OncoAlert @Larvol https://t.co/5z1HPV3WXx

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. 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.

Response data: INCB161734 plus SoC chemotherapy antitumour activity
Every company developing G12X drugs should pay attention to this data at #ESMO26 Zecdarasib (G12Di) plus chemo in 1L metastatic PDAC, phase 1 ORR 89% with mFOLFIRINOX (n=27)
ORR 69% with gem/nab-paclitaxel (n=26) 
Awesome safety for early DE. For context, other early 1L PDAC response rates (cross-trial which we would neeeeever do): 
Zoldonrasib + FOLFIRINOX: 82%
Zoldonrasib + gem/nab-P: 61%
Daraxonrasib + gem/nab-P: 59%
Daraxonrasib alone: 47% Chemo clearly still matters. Starting to think about this like Breakwater… In PDAC, monoallelic inhibitors are extremely effective, just more effective with a little extra oomph behind them. They will land in adjuvant, neoadjuvant, metastatic and every space you can imagine in the next few years. Question is do we combo single plus pan or single plus chemo, and what is the added agent (especially in CRC)? @OncoAlert @TheGutOncLab @Onco_Nexus @Incyte

[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

These patients were not dosed due to no longer meeting study eligibility criteria. ^bInvestigator's choice of chemotherapy was determined prior to randomization. ^cmFOLFIRINOX and FOLFOX regimens were pooled due to small individual sample sizes. 1.

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. 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.

#ESMO26 | IROCAS I think we can finally put this debate to rest In high-risk stage III colon cancer, intensifying adjuvant chemotherapy with mFOLFIRINOX failed to improve DFS over mFOLFOX6 We need to rethink our approach to treatment escalation in the adjuvant setting. Simply adding more conventional cytotoxic agents is not the answer.

Malheureusement, les essais cliniques ne donnent pas toujours les résultats espérés. J’ai eu la chance de participer à l’étude internationale de phase III IROCAS (PRODIGE 52), à laquelle je croyais beaucoup, dont les résultats viennent d’être présentés à l’ #ESMO2026 et publié dans @Annals_Oncology L’objectif était simple : améliorer les chances de guérison des patients opérés d’un cancer du côlon de stade III à haut risque de récidive. Nous espérions qu’en ajoutant une troisième molécule de chimiothérapie, l’irinotécan, au traitement standard FOLFOX, nous pourrions guérir davantage de patients. Malheureusement, ce n’est pas le cas. Chez 795 patients, la survie sans récidive à 3 ans est quasiment identique : ➡️ 65,6 % avec FOLFIRINOX (3 molécules) ➡️ 66,3 % avec FOLFOX (2 molécules) Et davantage de diarrhées sévères et de fatigue avec le FOLFIRINOX. Une déception, évidemment, pour tous ceux qui ont participé à cet essai. Mais c’est aussi cela, la recherche clinique : accepter que nos hypothèses soient parfois démenties par les résultats. Faire plus ne signifie pas toujours faire mieux. Et démontrer qu’un traitement plus lourd n’apporte pas de bénéfice, c’est aussi faire progresser la médecine.

Taieb 29 Show less Affiliations & Notes [Slide 2] Results Between May 2017 and June 2023, 795 patients were assigned to mFOLFIRINOX (n=398) or mFOLFOX6 (n=397). Median age was 59 years (range 19–75); 39.7% were women, 52.8% had pT4 disease, 72.2% had pN2 disease, and 25.3% had both. At a median follow-up of 55 months (IQR 42.6–65.9), 284 DFS events had occurred: 146 with mFOLFIRINOX and 138 with mFOLFOX6. Three-year DFS was 65.6% versus 66.3%, respectively (hazard ratio [HR] 1.07, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.84–1.36; P=0.61). Although Overall survival (OS) data remain immature, 3-year OS was 91.2% versus 86.7% (HR 0.85, 95% CI 0.61–1.21; P=0.37); no significant treatment-by-subgroup interaction was observed. Grade ≥3 adverse events occurred in 62.2% and 62.1% of patients, respectively. Grade ≥3 diarrhoea (15.6% versus 3.8%) and fatigue (7.3% versus 1.8%) were more frequent with mFOLFIRINOX, whereas grade ≥3 neutropenia was less frequent (18.0% versus 23.9%). G-CSF use was 37.8% versus 19.1%. Conclusion Adjuvant mFOLFIRINOX triplet chemotherapy did not improve DFS compared with standard doublet mFOLFOX6 in patients with high-risk stage III colon cancer. These findings do not support empirical chemotherapy intensification and highlight the need for novel adjuvant strategies.

Articles 14-day versus 28-day trifluridine–tipiracil plus bevacizumab for refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (PRABITAS): a pragmatic, multicentre, open-label, randomised, phase 3, non-inferiority trial in Japan Tomoki Sakakida*, Hiroya Taniguchi*, Masako Asayama*, ... on behalf of the PRABITAS investigators† Summary Background Trifluridine–tipiracil (FTD–TPI) plus bevacizumab is the standard treatment for refractory metastatic colorectal cancer. However, the conventional schedule is frequently associated with haematological and gastrointestinal toxicity, which is clinically significant and relevant to patients. A simplified 14-day schedule has been proposed to reduce toxicity, but whether this treatment preserves survival has not been established in a randomised trial. We therefore aimed to assess whether the 14-day schedule is non-inferior to the conventional schedule for overall survival. Methods PRABITAS was a pragmatic, multicentre, open-label, randomised, phase 3, non-inferiority trial conducted in 178 hospitals in Japan. Patients with refractory metastatic colorectal cancer were randomly assigned (1:1) using a minimisation algorithm, stratified by Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, RAS mutational status, and institution, to FTD–TPI (35 mg/m² orally twice daily) plus bevacizumab (5 mg/kg intravenously) on either a conventional 28-day (FTD–TPI on days 1–5 and 8–12; bevacizumab on days 1 and 15) or 14-day schedule (FTD–TPI on days 1–5; bevacizumab on day 1). Eligibility criteria were broadened compared with those of conventional explanatory trials, and trial procedures were aligned with routine clinical practice. The primary endpoint was overall survival, analysed in the intention-to-treat population, with a prespecified non-inferiority margin of 1·25. Safety was assessed in all patients who received at least one dose. Missing data were not imputed. This trial is registered with the Japan Registry of Clinical Trials, jRCTs041230120, and is closed to enrolment. Findings Between Dec 26, 2023, and May 20, 2025, we randomly assigned 972 patients, of whom 970 (99%) constituted the intention-to-treat population after two were excluded because they were randomly assigned before site approval (486 [50%] to the 28-day treatment group, 292 [60%] men and 194 [40%] women; and 484 [50%] to the 14-day treatment group, 264 [55%] men and 220 [45%] women). Median follow-up was 17·9 months (IQR 14·3–22·6). Median overall survival was 10·3 months (95% CI 9·5–11·6) in the 28-day group and 11·3 months (10·2–12·5) in the 14-day group (stratified hazard ratio 0·93 [95% CI 0·80–1·08]). The 12-month overall survival rates were 44·0% (95% CI 39·5–48·5) in the 28-day group and 47·5% (42·9–52·0) in the 14-day group. Neutropenia grade 3 or worse was reduced in the 14-day group (13% vs 39%; absolute difference 25 percentage points [95% CI 20–31]), as was anorexia grade 2 or worse (15% vs 26%; absolute difference 11 percentage points [6–16]). Two treatment-related deaths occurred in the 14-day group and none in the 28-day group. Interpretation A 14-day schedule of FTD–TPI plus bevacizumab was non-inferior to the conventional 28-day schedule for overall survival, while reducing haematological and gastrointestinal toxicity. These findings support this simplified schedule as the new standard for FTD–TPI plus bevacizumab in refractory metastatic colorectal cancer.

Comment Optimising late-line treatment administration in metastatic colorectal cancer: an even brighter SUNLIGHT ... In 2023, the SUNLIGHT study6 was the first randomised trial to show benefit of a combination over an established late-line treatment, showing that the addition of bevacizumab to FTD–TPI significantly improved overall survival, from 7·5 months to 10·8 months (hazard ratio [HR] 0·61 [95% CI 0·49–0·77; p<0·001), ... Tomoki Sakakida and colleagues12 addressed this question in the investigator-initiated, open-label, randomised, phase 3, non-inferiority PRABITAS trial, conducted across 252 Japanese institutions. The study compared the conventional 28-day schedule of FTD–TPI plus bevacizumab with a 14-day schedule consisting of FTD–TPI on days 1–5 and bevacizumab on day 1. The primary endpoint was overall survival in the intention-to-treat population, with a prespecified non-inferiority margin of 1·25 for the upper boundary of the 95% CI of the HR. Sakakida and colleagues randomly assigned 972 patients (after two were excluded) with refractory metastatic colorectal cancer to the 28-day treatment group (486 [50%]) or the 14-day treatment group (484 [50%]). 556 (57%) patients were men and 414 (43%) were women. ... Baseline characteristics were balanced across groups, with a median age of 68 years (IQR 59–74) and RAS-mutated tumours in 576 (59%) patients. After a median follow-up of 17·9 months (IQR 14·3–22·6), median overall survival was 10·3 months (9·5–11·6) within the 28-day treatment group and 11·3 months (10·2–12·5) in the 14-day treatment group (stratified HR 0·93 [95% CI 0·80–1·08]), showing the non-inferiority of the latter. No differences between groups were observed in terms of progression-free survival and objective response rate. As for safety findings, neutropenia of grade 3 or worse decreased from 39% to 13%, febrile neutropenia from 5% to 1%, and G-CSF use from 13% to 3%.

However, the conventional schedule is frequently associated with haematological and gastrointestinal toxicity, which is clinically significant and relevant to patients. A simplified 14-day schedule has been proposed to reduce toxicity, but whether this treatment preserves survival has not been established in a randomised trial.

Median follow-up was 17·9 months (IQR 14·3–22·6). Median overall survival was 10·3 months (95% CI 9·5–11·6) in the 28-day group and 11·3 months (10·2–12·5) in the 14-day group (stratified hazard ratio 0·93 [95% CI 0·80–1·08]). The 12-month overall survival rates were 44·0% (95% CI 39·5–48·5) in the 28-day group and 47·5% (42·9–52·0) in the 14-day group. Neutropenia grade 3 or worse was reduced in the 14-day group (13% vs 39%; absolute difference 25 percentage points [95% CI 20–31]), as was anorexia grade 2 or worse (15% vs 26%; absolute difference 11 percentage points [6–16]). Two treatment-related deaths occurred in the 14-day group and none in the 28-day group.

These findings support this simplified schedule as the new standard for FTD–TPI plus bevacizumab in refractory metastatic colorectal cancer.

Introduction Colorectal cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with approximately 1·9 million new cases and 900 000 deaths annually.1 For patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who experience disease progression after fluoropyrimidine-based, oxaliplatin-based, and irinotecan-based chemotherapy, international guidelines recommend sequential use of later-line Sidebar: Published Online October 24, 2026 https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(26)01782-4 | See Online/Comment https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(26)02034-9 | *Contributed equally to this work as joint first authors | †Investigators listed in the appendix (p 2) | Department of Clinical Oncology, Aichi Cancer Center Hospital, Nagoya, Japan (T Sakakida MD, H Taniguchi MD, A Mishima, T Masuishi MD); Department of Molecular Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine, Kyoto, Japan (T Sakakida); Department of Gastroenterology, Saitama Cancer Center, Kitaadachigun, Japan (M Asayama MD); Department of Surgery, Gastroenterological Center, Yokohama City University Medical Center, Yokohama, Japan (Y Suwa MD); Department of Gastroenterology and Metabolism, Nagoya City University Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Nagoya, Japan (T Shimura MD); Department of Medical Oncology, Kindai University Faculty of Medicine, Sakai, Japan (S Mitani MD); Cancer Center, Gifu University Hospital, Gifu, Japan (A Makiyama MD); Department of Clinical Oncology, St Marianna University School of Medicine, Kawasaki, Japan (H Arai MD, T Mizukami MD); Department of Surgery, Fujita Health University Hospital, Toyoake, Japan (Prof H Matsuoka MD); www.thelancet.com Published online October 24, 2026 https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(26)01782-4

Kaplan-Meier survival data: overall survival, 28-day vs 14-day FTD/TPI + bevacizumab
📊 PRABITAS - Phase 3, The Lancet A better way to deliver a bad treatment. Phase 3 non-inferiority trial 🎯 Refractory mCRC, 178 Japanese hospitals 🔀 Lonsurf (FTD-TPI) + bev: 14-day vs standard 28-day schedule 👥 970 patients ➖ OS 11.3 vs 10.3 mo, HR 0.93: non-inferior 📉 Grade ≥3 neutropenia 13% vs 39% 📉 Grade ≥2 anorexia 15% vs 26% ⚠️ 2 treatment-related deaths in the 14-day arm This is the regimen that I already use in practice. However, I must still say that this is the trial I wish we had more of: academic, pragmatic, about 1,000 patients, and asking how to give a drug we already use. The 14-day schedule keeps survival and drops severe neutropenia from 39% to 13%. In the refractory setting, where every clinic visit and every treatment delay due to neutropenia costs valuable quality time, that matters. That said, I hope we will have better options than Lonsurf in the near future. #mCRC #CRC https://t.co/Tfng5cZ0eP

[Slide 1] Presentation Adjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine and cisplatin compared to standard of care after curative intent resection of cholangiocarcinoma and gallbladder carcinoma (ACTICCA-1 trial) Saturday, 24 Oct 2026 10:25 - 10:35 Alicante Auditorium - Hall 6 Save | Note Info Background Despite surgery and adjuvant capecitabine, about 50% of biliary tract cancer (BTC) patients recur or die within two years. Gemcitabine and cisplatin (GC) has been the established chemotherapy regimen in advanced BTC, providing a strong rationale for its evaluation in the adjuvant setting. [Slide 2] Background Despite surgery and adjuvant capecitabine, about 50% of biliary tract cancer (BTC) patients recur or die within two years. Gemcitabine and cisplatin (GC) has been the established chemotherapy regimen in advanced BTC, providing a strong rationale for its evaluation in the adjuvant setting. Methods ACTICCA-1 is a randomized, phase III investigator-initiated trial. Patients were enrolled at 60 sites across 7 countries between September 2017 and January 2023 and randomized to adjuvant GC (arm A) or capecitabine (arm B), both for 24 weeks. The primary endpoint is disease-free survival (DFS) in the full analysis set (FAS). Secondary endpoints include overall survival, safety and tolerability of chemotherapy, quality of life, and patterns of disease recurrence. Results At the data cut-off date of Dec 31, 2025, 591 patients had been randomized. Median follow-up was 4.8 years. Median age was 63, 46.9% were female, and median interval between surgery and enrolment was 67 days. The location was intrahepatic in 28.3%, perihilar in 19%, distal in 36.5%, and gallbladder in 16.2%. N+ was 47.9%. DFS favoured arm A compared to arm B (median 2.14 vs. 1.49 years, log rank p=0.097). As pre-defined in the statistical analysis plan (SAP), due to violation of the proportional hazard assumption Cox model (HR 0.82, 95% CI 0.67-1.01) was not feasible and restricted mean survival time (RMST) was analysed. Patients in arm A experienced on average 2.6 additional DFS months compared to arm B (RMST in the first 3 years p=0.01) and a strong trend in overall survival (p=0.076). Toxicity showed a slightly higher rate of severe adverse events (130 vs. 113 with 51 vs. 47 treatment related) and adverse events rate (74.4% vs. 69.5% of patients) in arm A compared to B. Further endpoints will be displayed at the meeting. Conclusions GC is an adjuvant treatment option for BTC. Clinical trial identification NCT02104882; 2012-005078-70.

CisGem should not be considered as a standard of care, however is an adjuvant treatment option for patients with BTC. Henning Wege, LBA21, ACTICCA-1

Pts randomized 2:1, stratified by lymph node status (N0 vs N1/2), to 10 doses camupepimut (prime, boost) or observation. Primary endpoint: investigator DFS; secondary: safety, 6-month DFS; success required Hazard Ratio (HR) ≤ 0.70, 2-sided alpha ~0.10. Results From 01-12/2024, 144 pts with mKRAS PDAC; 44.4% G12D, 35.4% G12V, 16.7% G12R: randomized to camupepimut (n=96) or observation (n=48) at 24 centers. Stratification balanced nodal status (N1/N2: 57[59.4%] vs 29[60.4%]) but ctDNA(+) 20[20.8%] vs 6[12.5%]. Primary DFS endpoint not met (HR 0.85, p=0.539), however, pre-specified 6-month DFS advantage of 14% (75.7% vs 61.7%; HR=0.55; p=0.0557) and mKRAS-specific T cells correlated with efficacy (mDFS not reached vs 6.08 mo; HR=0.22; p<0.0001); subgroups promising DFS:. Table: LBA83 Subgroup | n(%) | DFS (mo) | HR | Nominal p ctDNA(-) | 93(65%) | NR vs 21.2 | 0.51 | 0.0280 No radiation | 106(74%) | 23.8 vs 10.4 | 0.59 | 0.0221 Post-hoc multivariate Cox regression analysis DFS: camupepimut adjusted HR=0.45; 95%CI 00.25-0.80; p=0.0064; ctDNA adjusted HR=6.72; 95%CI 3.49-12.94; p<0.0001. Grade ≥ 3 AEs (10.4 vs 14.6%); serious AEs (6.3 vs 8.3%); no new safety signals. Immunogenicity: mKRAS-specific T cell responses 99% (89/90); 85% (68/80) CD8+ and CD4+ T cells and antigen spreading 87% (13/15). Conclusions Prespecified 6-month subgroup DFS increased and DFS associated with mKRAS-specific T cell response, although primary DFS endpoint not met. Baseline ctDNA(+) adversely prognostic/imbalanced. Phase III planned with refined stratification and pt selection factors.

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). In POPC, 12mth LRR rates were 19.7% (95% CI: 7.8–35.6) (I) v 52.9% (95% CI: 25.9–74.1) (C) (p=0.031), and in IPC 21.4% (95% CI: 4.8–45.8) (I) v 50.0% (95% CI: 11.4-80.2) (C) (p=0.16).

Summary and Conclusions Zanidatamab Demonstrated Superiority Over Trastuzumab • At this FFA, zanidatamab + CT demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in OS (HR, 0.76) vs trastuzumab + CT • All primary endpoints have been met, showing PFS and OS benefits for both zanidatamab-containing regimens Sustained Long-Term Survival With Zanidatamab + Tislelizumab + CT • With longer follow-up, zanidatamab + tislelizumab + CT sustained a robust OS benefit over trastuzumab + CT, with an improved HR vs IA1 (HR, 0.65 vs 0.72)¹ and a 40% 3-year OS rate vs 23% with trastuzumab + CT • Adding tislelizumab to zanidatamab + CT provided a meaningful trend toward further OS benefit irrespective of PD-L1 status Long-Term Safety and Tolerability • The safety profiles remained manageable with no new safety signals, supporting the tolerability of prolonged treatment These results solidify zanidatamab with chemotherapy ± tislelizumab as the new standard of care in 1L HER2-positive mGEA, replacing trastuzumab-based regimens [QR code] A copy of the presentation can be accessed via the QR code.

#ESMO26 | HERIZON-GEA-01 – Updated OS Her2 positive gastric/ge cancer At 35.3 months of follow-up, zanidatamab + CT now shows a significant OS benefit over trastuzumab + CT: 22.9 vs 19.6 months (HR 0.76; p=0.0088). With the addition of tislelizumab, median OS increased to 27 months, but the additional benefit was statistically borderline (HR 0.81; p=0.0502). Considering toxicity, we need to carefully analyze which patients should receive the triplet regimen.

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.

[Slide 1] Background • Zanidatamab is a bispecific HER2-directed antibody that binds to HER2 ECD 2 and 4 in a trans configuration, facilitating crosslinking associated with the formation of distinct HER2 clusters on the cell surface. It has several key mechanisms of action1: – Increasing HER2 internalisation; reducing phosphorylation of EGFR, HER2, and HER3 and blocking downstream signalling; and inducing immune-mediated effects (CDC, ADCC, and ADCP) • Tislelizumab is a high-affinity ICI targeting PD-1 and is specifically engineered to minimise Fcγ receptor binding on macrophages Adults with untreated, unresectable, locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic GEA • HER2 IHC 3+ or IHC 2+/ISH+ per central testing • ECOG PS 0 or 1 • No prior HER2-targeted agents or immunotherapy in any setting Stratification factors • Geographic region • HER2 status • ECOG PS R 1:1:1 N = 914 Trastuzumab + chemotherapy(a) Zanidatamab(b) + chemotherapy(a) Zanidatamab(b) + tislelizumab(c) + chemotherapy(a) Prophylaxis to prevent IRRs and diarrhoea was mandatory in the zanidatamab-containing arms Treatment until disease progression/death/unacceptable toxicity. Chemotherapy could be discontinued after 6 cycles Tumour imaging(d) Q6W Dual primary endpoints • PFS (per BICR) • OS Data cutoff for IA2: 15 July 2026 Here we report results from the planned second interim analysis of OS (IA2) from HERIZON-GEA-01 (a)Physician's choice of CAPOX (capecitabine plus oxaliplatin) or FP (5-fluorouracil plus cisplatin). Chemotherapy was administered for at least 6 cycles or until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or another criterion for treatment discontinuation was met. (b)Zanidatamab 1800 mg (<70 kg) or 2400 mg (≥70 kg) was administered IV Q3W. (c)Tislelizumab 200 mg was administered IV Q3W.

Biomarker data: final OS: NIVO+IPI vs NIVO across all lines, centrally confirmed
For the final act of CheckMate 8HW, we finally have the significant OS data the doubters have been asking for. What happens when you have a great treatment and an even better one for a study (and almost everyone crosses over)? You have to wait a really, really long time for OS. Also, some thoughts on splitting the alpha I won’t get into here. Nivo/ipi vs nivo alone vs chemo, MSI-H/dMMR mCRC. Final OS analysis. Response rate 72% with nivo/ipi, 58% with nivo alone. 
Median OS still not reached. 
OS HR 0.66 for nivo/ipi over nivo, statistically significant. 
77% of nivo/ipi patients alive at 5 years. Three out of four patients alive at five years. In metastatic colorectal cancer. 🤯 Not even going to talk about the chemo arm. It's clearly worse, and there is never a time to give chemo in MSI-H unless someone has extreme, active autoimmune disease. “Debulking” is absolute nonsense. Bottom line: the doubters got their OS. Nivo/ipi is the first-line standard for MSI-H mCRC. Next steps: how do we decide length of therapy, and how do we manage oligometastatic progression? #ESMO26

[Slide 2] Dual Checkpoint Blockade, Anti–PD1/PDL1 Monotherapy and Chemoimmunotherapy in dMMR/MSI-H Metastatic Colorectal Cancer: A Kaplan–Meier-Derived Individual Patient Data Meta-Analysis (Abstract 924eP) Matheus de Oliveira Andrade1,2; Gabriela B. E. Silva2; Lucas M. Delgado4; Anderson R. Simoes5; Rafael L. Nohmi6; Rhenan H. Silva2; Barbara Ferreira7; Gustavo Dos Santos Fernandes1 Background Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed the treatment landscape of mismatch repair-deficient/microsatellite instability-high (dMMR/MSI-H) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). The relative efficacy of dual checkpoint blockade, anti–PD1/PDL1 monotherapy, and chemoimmunotherapy strategies remains uncertain. Methods A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted by searching PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and major conference proceedings for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating ICIs in patients with dMMR/MSI-H mCRC. Pooled Kaplan–Meier-derived individual patient data analyses were performed. Outcomes included progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and adverse events (AEs). An exploratory frequentist network meta-analysis was performed among patients with BRAF V600E mutation. Results (included studies): KEYNOTE-177 (Phase III; I: 153, C: 154; Pembrolizumab vs CT; First line; BRAF V600E 35/153) | COMMIT (Phase III; I: 41, C: 41; Atezolizumab vs Folfox+Atezolizumab+bevacizumab; First line; I: 10/41, C: 9/41) | CHECKMATE 8HW André 2024 (Phase III; I: 202, C: 101; Nivolumab+ipilimumab vs CT; 52/202) | CHECKMATE 8HW André 2025 (I: 354, C: 353; Nivolumab+ipilimumab vs Nivolumab; First and later lines; I: 85/353, C: 106/354) | SAMCO-PRODIGE (Phase II; I: 61, C: 61; Avelumab vs CT; 2nd line; 25/61) Dual checkpoint blockade achieved the most favorable survival outcomes across evaluated regimens, supporting nivolumab plus ipilimumab as a potentially preferred therapeutic strategy for patients with dMMR/MSI-H mCRC. PFS (pooled KM): Anti-PD1 + Anti-CTLA4 vs. CT: HR 0.34, 95% CI 0.27-0.41, p<0.001 Anti-PD1 + Anti-CTLA4 vs. Anti-PD1/PDL1: HR 0.68, 95% CI 0.56-0.81, p<0.001 Anti-PD1 + Anti-CTLA4 vs. CT+Anti-PDL1+bevacizumab: HR 0.51, 95% CI 0.34-0.76, p=0.001 Anti-PD1/PDL1 vs. CT: HR 0.60, 95% CI 0.51-0.71, p<0.001 Pooled KM curve of PFS including all studies (CheckMate 8HW ITT, KEYNOTE-177, SAMCO, and COMMIT) comparing nivolumab plus ipilimumab, anti-PD-1/PD-L1 monotherapy, CT plus atezolizumab and bevacizumab, and CT. OS (pooled KM): Anti-PD1 + Anti-CTLA4 vs. CT: HR 0.32, 95% CI 0.23-0.44, p<0.001 Anti-PD1 + Anti-CTLA4 vs. Anti-PD1/PDL1: HR 0.49, 95% CI 0.36-0.65, p<0.001 Anti-PD1 + Anti-CTLA4 vs. CT+Anti-PDL1+bevacizumab: HR 0.54, 95% CI 0.29-0.99, p=0.045 Anti-PD1/PDL1 vs. CT: HR 0.65, 95% CI 0.52-0.81, p<0.001 Pooled KM curve of OS including all studies (CheckMate 8HW ITT, KEYNOTE-177, SAMCO, and COMMIT) comparing nivolumab plus ipilimumab, anti-PD-1/PD-L1 monotherapy, CT plus atezolizumab and bevacizumab, and CT.

ESMO 2026 Open questions #2 • Can cMet expression predict response? Yes if Temab-A alone ??? Temab-A+Bev (no for RR; PFS and OS promising indipendently of c-Met expression) Lisa Salvatore, MD, PhD [Slide 4] Temab-A + Bev: my personal conclusions ✓ Temab-A + Bev is a promising regimen for pretreated mCRC (RR30%, mPFS 6.8 months and mOS 14.7 months). ✓ Pay attention to hematologic toxicity, in particular 53% of G3-4 anemia and 33% of G3-4 neutropenia. High rate of dose interruption and reduction. ✓ Phase III study is ongoing. I hope the study will be sufficiently powered to address the remaining open questions: patient selection and the optimal dose of Temab-A+Bev. Though the added benefit of Bev will remain unknown.

Phase 2/3 COMPANION-002 Conclusions • Tovecimig + paclitaxel met the primary endpoint: ORR 18.0% vs 5.3% (p=0.0228), with durable responses (median DOR 4.9 months) • Disease control rate was also significantly improved: 62.2% vs 36.8% (p=0.0018) • PFS was significantly prolonged: 4.7 vs 2.6 months (HR=0.44, p<0.0001) • Overall survival may have been confounded by crossover, with 54% of paclitaxel patients receiving tovecimig • Addition of tovecimig to paclitaxel in cross-over setting doubled first line paclitaxel only PFS (3.9 vs 1.5 months, HR=0.40, p=0.0035) and those crossover patients survived for a median of 12.8 months. • Safety was manageable and consistent with prior studies and the anti-VEGF class, with no new safety signals • Overall, 28.8% of patients treated with tovecimig + paclitaxel discontinued the treatment regimen due to an adverse event; most TEAEs leading to discontinuation were consistent with known anti-angiogenic and chemotherapeutic toxicities. • Tovecimig + paclitaxel is a promising option for patients with BTC who have been previously treated Nilofer Azad, MD

China keeps delivering new assets and studies, now in HER2+ gastric 🇨🇳 KC-WISE updated OS at #ESMO26. Double-blind phase 3 in HER2+ GC/GEJC after progression on trastuzumab: anbenitamab (biparatopic HER2 bispecific) + chemo vs placebo + chemo. • ORR 56 vs 14%
• mPFS 7.1 vs 2.7 mo
• mOS 19.6 vs 9.7 mo, HR Almost 20 months median OS in second line. The control arm is single-agent chemo, so the bar wasn't high. But the OS doubled, and that's hard to argue with. Takeaway: HER2 is still a target after trastuzumab. Sequential HER2 blockade works. The question I can't answer yet: HERIZON just moved zanidatamab to 1L. Once patients get a biparatopic up front, does a second one still work in 2L? Or does that spot go to T-DXd? Also, Should point out 20 months is significantly lower than what we saw on HERIZON which hit 26-27 month. @OncoAlert @TheGutOncLab

[Slide 2] Anbenitamab (KN026) is a HER2-targeted bispecific antibody with superior binding affinity, inhibitory potency, and HER2 internalization relative to trastuzumab or pertuzumab17; it has recently been approved by the National Medical Products Administration (China) for the second- and later-line treatment of HER2-positive advanced gastric cancer on the basis of the KC-WISE trial.18 HB1801 is an albumin-bound docetaxel. Previous clinical studies showed that HB1801 had improved antitumor activity in advanced gastric cancer.19 [Slide 3] FIGURE 2 A Progression-free Survival as Assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review Anbenitamab plus HB1801 (58.5 at 24 months); THP (34.4 at 24 months) Hazard ratio for disease progression or death, 0.46 (95% CI, 0.37 to 0.56) P<0.001 Months since Randomization No. at Risk Anbenitamab plus HB1801: 445 430 407 345 324 217 173 113 86 38 7 0 THP: 440 410 368 274 232 144 110 75 50 28 5 0 B Subgroup Analysis of Progression-free Survival Subgroup | Anbenitamab plus HB1801 | THP (no. of patients with event/total no. of patients) | Hazard Ratio for Disease Progression or Death (95% CI) All patients | 149/445 | 252/440 | 0.46 (0.38 to 0.57) Age <65 yr | 135/389 | 218/362 | 0.45 (0.37 to 0.56) Age ≥65 yr | 14/56 | 34/78 | 0.47 (0.25 to 0.88) ECOG 0 | 71/251 | 130/236 | 0.38 (0.28 to 0.51) ECOG 1 | 78/194 | 120/202 | 0.59 (0.44 to 0.79) Previous neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy Yes | 60/165 | 95/161 | 0.49 (0.36 to 0.68) No | 89/280 | 157/279 | 0.45 (0.35 to 0.58) Previous treatment with trastuzumab Yes | 30/81 | 56/91 | 0.47 (0.30 to 0.74) No | 119/364 | 196/349 | 0.46 (0.37 to 0.58) Previous treatment with pertuzumab Yes | 14/29 | 23/32 | 0.46 (0.23 to 0.90) No | 135/416 | 229/408 | 0.46 (0.38 to 0.58) Hormone-receptor status Positive | 95/244 | 150/243 | 0.48 (0.37 to 0.62) Negative | 54/201 | 102/197 | 0.44 (0.31 to 0.61) Visceral metastasis Yes | 114/316 | 190/316 | 0.47 (0.37 to 0.59) No | 35/129 | 62/124 | 0.46 (0.30 to 0.69) Liver metastasis Yes | 57/156 | 111/181 | 0.46 (0.33 to 0.63) No | 92/289 | 141/259 | 0.47 (0.36 to 0.62) Bone metastasis Yes | 85/206 | 119/193 | 0.55 (0.42 to 0.73) No | 64/239 | 133/247 | 0.38 (0.29 to 0.52) No. of distant metastatic sites 1 or 2 | 92/310 | 148/288 | 0.46 (0.36 to 0.60) ≥3 | 56/125 | 98/141 | 0.50 (0.36 to 0.70) HER2 status IHC score of 3+ | 108/374 | 207/385 | 0.43 (0.34 to 0.54) IHC score of 2+ and FISH-positive | 41/71 | 45/55 | 0.44 (0.29 to 0.69) Stage IV disease at initial diagnosis Yes | 85/253 | 139/246 | 0.48 (0.37 to 0.63) No | 64/192 | 113/194 | 0.45 (0.33 to 0.61) Anbenitamab plus HB1801 Better | THP Better Progression-free Survival, Overall and According to Subgroup Analyses (Intention-to-Treat Population).

The events are listed in descending order of frequency in the anbenitamab group. Safety analyses were performed in the safety population, which included all the patients who had undergone randomization and received at least one dose of a trial drug. The adverse events were coded according to the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities, version 28.1, and graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 5.0. ALT denotes alanine aminotransferase, and AST aspartate aminotransferase. † Adverse events that occurred in at least 20% of the patients in either group are reported. ‡ Diarrhea led to dose reduction in five patients (1.1%) in the anbenitamab group and two patients (0.5%) in the THP group and to treatment interruption in two patients (0.5%) and one patient (0.2%), respectively. No patients discontinued treatment owing to diarrhea. Primary prophylaxis for diarrhea was administered to 7.2% of the patients in the anbenitamab group and to 8.0% of those in THP group.

My guess did not prove to be accurate… 😞 I did discuss LEAP-12 in @myESMO #ESMO24 and stated “OS seems promising”, BUT here we have the data from #ESMO26 😬Not much of an OS signal - like others (👏🏻@SaborowskiAnna) [😉 I still feel PFS of value here] #ESMOAmbassadors https://t.co/gVgOhtfFaV https://t.co/LtSoElu1gN

Conclusions • LEAP-012 met its primary end point of PFS but did not show OS benefit at IA3 • A median OS of approximately 40 months sets a new benchmark for trial design in unresectable, nonmetastatic HCC • The safety profile of lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab remains consistent with previous reports and earlier analysis of LEAP-012

TRIDENTE “positive”, BRICKET “negative” ?? Prior responder selection & added binimetinib may explain differing ORR outcomes. Yet mPFS was almost identical: 2.8 vs 2.9 months. 🧐 Reminder to look beyond trial labels: how durable is the benefit? #ESMO26 #ESMOAmbassadors @OncoAlert https://t.co/V6R2gxa0I9

[Slide 1] How do we understand the differences in trial outcomes? 1. Patient selection – in Tridente, only patients with prior CR/PR were included 2. Regimen – could the addition of binimetinib push patients to respond? But actually the clinically important survival interval is very similar between the two studies: mPFS: 2.8 months in TRIDENTE, 2.9 months in BRICKET Rona Yaeger, MD [Slide 2] Rechallenge Trials: TRIDENTE and BRICKET Design TRIDENTE: study design RAS wild-type/BRAF V600E-mutant mCRC -> EC-based therapy -> PD -> ≥1 of SoC -> PD -> ENCO + BINI + CET (N =21) • Encorafenib 300 mg QD • Binimetinib 45 mg BID • Cetuximab initially 400 mg/m2 and subsequently 250 mg/m2 QW Primary endpoint: ORR • CR or PR by RECIST v1.1 • PD within 4 weeks after the last ENCO administration ≥ 4 months Key eligibility criteria • ≥ 20 years of age • ECOG PS 0-1 • Refractory or intolerant to fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy including oxaliplatin or irinotecan • Measurable disease per RECIST v1.1 BRICKET: study design RAS wild-type/BRAF V600E-mutant mCRC -> EC-based therapy -> PD -> 1 of SoC (EC free) -> PD -> Molecular Eligibility Criteria -> ENCO + CET (N =16) Molecular Eligibility Criteria • BRAF-V600E mutant • RAS wild-type • MAP2K1 wild-type • MET not amplified • Encorafenib 300 mg QD • Cetuximab initially 400 mg/m2 and subsequently 250 mg/m2 QW Primary endpoint: ORR • PR or SD by RECIST v1.1 • PFS ≥ 6 months ≥ 4 months Key eligibility criteria • ≥ 18 years of age • ECOG PS 0-1 • Measurable disease per RECIST v1.1 Rona Yaeger, MD

Studies suggest that combining KRAS inhibitors with immunotherapy may further improve outcomes. • This study assesses the feasibility of combining HRS-4642 (a KRAS G12D inhibitor) and dual immunotherapy (anti-PD-L1 + anti-CTLA-4) with standard chemotherapy (gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel) in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Methods • This was an open-label, two-arm, phase 2 trial (NCT06938282). • Arm 1: Unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic PDAC. • Arm 2: Borderline-resectable PDAC (BRPC). • Target enrollment: ~30 patients per arm. Figure 1. Study design Key Eligibility Criteria: • KRAS G12D mutation • Age ≥18 years • ECOG PS: 0-1 • No prior systemic therapy • Measurable disease (≥1 lesion) • Adequate organ function HRS-4642 + Adebrelimab + SHR8068 (280 mg, priming dose) + GnP (Q3W) • Non-surgical: continuous treatment • Surgical: Neoadjuvant → Surgery → Adjuvant + Maintenance therapy Treatment continued until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity • Primary endpoints: safety and objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST v1.1 (Arm 1); 18-month OS rate (Arm 2) • Secondary endpoints: overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), disease control rate (DCR), resection rate and safety with adverse events summarized using NCI-CTCAE v5.0 Results - Patients • As of April 2026, a total of 12 pts with metastatic PDAC were enrolled in Arm 1 (Table 1). Table 1.

Methods This prospective, single-arm, single-center phase II trial (NCT06944106) enrolled patients with histologically confirmed, untreated BRPC and ECOG PS 0-1. Patients received ivonescimab 20 mg/kg Q3W plus gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 and nab-paclitaxel 125 mg/m2 for 3 cycles; up to 6 cycles were permitted before radical surgery when feasible. The primary endpoint was R0/R1 resection rate. Secondary endpoints included ORR, DCR, pathological response, TRG, safety, EFS and OS. Fig 1.

Conclusions ECLYPse met its primary endpoint, with a 6-month PFS rate of 67% (12/18 pts), a mPFS of 7.1 months, and no new safety signal. Continuing EC beyond progression in combination with ChT appears to extend disease control in this poor-prognosis population. This strategy (EC beyond progression in combination with ChT) should be furtherly assessed in the post-BREAKWATER era (2nd line setting). Maria Alessandra Calegari

Slide: presentation: Introduction of ivonescimab and the HARMONi program
#ESMO26 Ivonescimab!!! We should judge trials by the quality of their data and the benefit they bring to patients, not by their country of origin. Scientific scrutiny should follow the same standards for everyone; political biases must not delay patients’ access to effective treatments. Clearly, these studies were considered scientifically worthy of presidential presentation—just look at how many came from China!

NICHE-2. Keeping it short because the plot speaks for itself. 1. Rename it Chalabi's disease 2. Stop operating on patients first For those who don't know: 111 patients with locally advanced dMMR colon cancer got one dose of ipi and two of nivo, then surgery. Zero events. A flat line. Next up? Avoid the surgery altogether. #ESMO2026 @Onco_Nexus @OncoAlert @TheGutOncLab

My vote for maddest new drug at ESMO: a tri-functional immune-activating fusion protein. SIRPα inhibition — activates macrophages. PD-L1 inhibition — reactivates T cells. TGF-β inhibition — deplete fibrotic barrier surrounding tumors, for better T cell infiltration. https://t.co/sNKPDdTulF

1975P HCB301-101: Early Safety and Disease Control From a Phase 1 Study of a Tri-Functional SIRPα/PD-L1/TGF-β Biologic in Advanced Solid Tumors Ji Zhu, William Jeffrey Edenfield, Xigang Hu, Li Sun, Shuaishuai Zhang, Langtian Abigail Yu, Wei Ji, Chih-Yi Hsieh, Alvin Luk 1 Zhejiang Cancer Hospital; 2 Greenville Hospital System University Medical Center; 3 Zhujiang Hospital of Southern Medical University; 4 Xuzhou Central Hospital; 5 HanchorBio Inc.; 6 Hanchor Biopharma Inc. BACKGROUND The Challenge: Interdependent Immune Suppression in IO-Refractory Tumors Innate Checkpoint SIRPα-CD47: Inhibits macrophage phagocytosis; Reduce antigen presentation Adaptive Checkpoint PD-1/PD-L1: Induces T-cell exhaustion; Impairs effector function Stromal Exclusion TGF-β: Restricts T cell infiltration; Dampens macrophage and T cell activation Multicompartment Immune Resistance Requires Coordinated Checkpoint Blockade HCB301: A tri-specific SIRPα-PD-L1-TGF-β fusion protein designed for integrated innate, adaptive, and stromal immune modulation METHODS Phase 1 Dose-Escalation Study of HCB301 (NCT06487624) Open-label, multi-regional first-in-human study with BOIN-guided dose escalation BOIN Design: Target toxicity rate ϕ=0.25 Dose levels: 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1.2, 2.4, 4.8, 9.6, 15 mg/kg (0.3 mg/kg lead-in) All cohorts utilized 0.3 mg/kg step-up dosing prior to target dose administration. * Protocol amended to include an intermediate 0.9 mg/kg cohort. Treatment: Cycle 0 Day1: Step-up Dosing (0.3 mg/kg). Cycle 1 Day1 (7 days later): Target Dose weekly Population: Advanced solid tumors; Relapsed/refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) Primary Objectives: Evaluate safety & tolerability; Determine the MTD and RP2D Secondary/Exploratory Objectives: Preliminary antitumor activity (ORR, DCR, DOR, PFS, OS); Pharmacokinetics following single and repeat dosing; CD47 Receptor Occupancy (RO); Immunogenicity (ADA); Pharmacodynamic and predictive biomarkers RESULTS (as of July 2026) Baseline • 29 patients enrolled: 0.3 mg/kg: N=5; 0.6 mg/kg: N=13; 1.2 mg/kg: N=6; 0.9 mg/kg: N=5 • Median Age: 57.5 years • Median prior lines of systemic therapy: 4 Antitumor Activity (n= 21 efficacy evaluable) • Stable disease: 8/21 (38.1%) • Disease stabilization across multiple solid tumor types, including: > 0.6 mg/kg: HCC, CRC, hypopharyngeal carcinoma > 0.9 mg/kg: Cholangiocarcinoma, CRC > 1.2 mg/kg: CRC, pelvic malignancy, sarcoma. • Longest SD duration: Approximately 4 months. Figure 1. Patients Achieving Stable Disease by HCB301 Dose Level: 0.6 mg/kg 3; 0.9 mg/kg 2; 1.2 mg/kg 3 Safety • Grade 1-2 TEAEs: 86.0%; TRAEs Grade 1-2: 85.6% • Two DLTs: Grade 4 thrombocytopenia (1.2 mg/kg) • Thrombocytopenia: 25 patients; 85 events • Anemia: 17 patients; 30 events • Lymphopenia: 11 patients; 41 events • Infusion-related reactions: 14 patients; 33 events Note: Cytopenias were predominantly low-grade. No cumulative anemia signal was observed. Platelet declines were often rapid and transient, warranting close monitoring. Safety findings informed enhanced monitoring, step-up dosing, and evaluation at intermediate doses. Table 1. Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events of Interest (n=29) AE Term | Incidence n (%) | Grade 1-2 events n (%) | Total events (n) Thrombocytopenia | 17 (58.6%) | 41 (62.1%) | 66 Anemia | 13 (44.8%) | 32 (91.4%) | 35 Lymphopenia | 8 (27.6%) | 20 (66.7%) | 30 Infusion Related Reaction | 8 (27.6%) | 23 (95.8%) | 24 CONCLUSION • Early feasibility was demonstrated for HCB301, a tri-specific SIRPα–PD-L1–TGFβ immunotherapy targeting innate, adaptive, and stromal immune suppression. • Preliminary disease control was observed in heavily pretreated patients (8/21; 38.1%). • Predominantly low-grade cytopenias, with Grade 4 thrombocytopenia emerging as the key dose-limiting toxicity. • Further safety evaluation and dose optimization are needed to define the therapeutic window and guide future development.

Biomarker data: AMPLIFY-7P camupepimut pre-specified DFS by ctDNA status (O'Reilly)
Some tentative good news today for a vaccine in pancreas cancer. - 7-valent mutant KRAS vaccine (G12D, G12R, G12V, G12A, G12C, G12S and G13D) given after surgery and completion of chemotherapy (with or without radiotherapy) in patients with stage I-III KRAS-mutant pancreas cancer. - This did not prevent recurrence in the overall population. - But, when split into pre-specified groups: ctDNA+ vs. ctDNA-, or presence/absence of prior radiation, there was significant (and substantial) protection. - It's unclear how this KRAS vaccine will interact with KRAS inhibitors in the future. The vaccine is made by Elicio Therapeutics, the data were presented by Eileen O'Reilly at ESMO - it's now moving to phase 3.

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.

UNION: PIII neoadjuvant rectal cancer 🇨🇳, presented at #ESMO26. Basically PD1 + TNT vs TNT. Positive on pCR and EFS. Does it change things? Very strong OS signal. Design
• Locally advanced rectal cancer, 231 randomized
• Short-course RT → camrelizumab + CAPOX vs long-course chemoRT → CAPOX, then TME Efficacy
pCR (BIRC, primary) 39.8% vs 15.3%, OR 3.65, p<0.0001
3-yr EFS 91.3% vs 77.4%, HR 0.33 (investigator)
3-yr OS 96.3% vs 89.8%, HR 0.35 (95% CI 0.11–1.10). Descriptive only, 15 deaths total. Toxicity
Grade ≥3 TRAEs 51.3% vs 48.2%, mostly heme
 Is the backbone appropriate?
Two things changed at once: the radiation schedule and the PD-1. The control arm is long-course CRT with CAPEOX, not the TNT most of us give today, and a 15% pCR is a low bar to clear. Everyone went to TME, so the question US practice actually cares about, organ preservation, wasn't asked. Still, an EFS HR of 0.33 at 3 years is considerable. I expect this’ll be standard in the future. One thing I know, this study is done, and we're still only "planning" these PD1 studies in the US. Have to move faster. @OncoAlert @TheGutOncLab @Onco_Nexus

EFS PER BIRC ASSESSMENT AND OS ◆ Per BIRC assessment, the 3-year EFS rate was 87.2% (95% CI 78.2-92.7) in the experimental group versus 73.7% (95% CI 63.6-81.4) in the standard-of-care group (HR 0.41 [95% CI 0.21-0.81]). Concordance between the BIRC and investigator assessments strengthens the robustness of the findings. ◆ OS was reported descriptively without formal hypothesis testing, as the data maturity was expected to be ≤10% at this stage. The 3-year OS rate was 96.3% (95% CI 90.4–98.6) in the experimental group versus 89.8% (95% CI 81.7–94.4) in the standard-of-care group (HR 0.35 [95% CI 0.11–1.10]).

1998P : Germline IL7 variant confers organ-specific susceptibility to thyroid and joint immune-related adverse events independent of cancer type and treatment regimen Mustafa Saleh, Amin Nassar, Zeyun Lu, Elias Bou Farhat, Sarah Abou Alaiwi, Marc Machaalani, Michel AlChoueiri, Alexander Gusev, Toni K. Choueiri Results 1. Interaction testing across irAE categories and terms revealed a significant interaction with irAE term at G1+ (p=0.030), identifying thyroid autoimmunity and inflammatory arthritis as the phenotypes driving the IL7 association. 2. Fine-Gray analyses confirmed robustness with thyroid disorder sHR 2.51, p=0.013, arthralgia/arthritis sHR 3.02, p=0.005). Stepwise phenotype selection identified pancreatitis as an additional component of the IL7-associated cluster, jointly reaching p=9.12×10[illegible] (N=142 events). 3. No interaction with age, sex, tumor mutational burden (TMB), ICI regimen, or cancer type was significant, placing this germline effect outside conventional clinical risk factors. 4. IL7 risk allele did not associate with maximum irAE grade, establishing a grade-agnostic immune toxicity. In pts with high TMB, association was markedly amplified: thyroid disorder and arthralgia/arthritis HR 5.13, p=5.82×10[illegible], with pancreatitis added HR 5.66, p=8.05×10[illegible]. Methods [illegible]aracterized the IL7 germline association across 1,619 ICI-treated patients [illegible] DFCI receiving anti-PD(L)1 monotherapy (N=1,360), anti-CTLA4 (N=15), [illegible]ation ICI (N=244) spanning 16 cancer types. @Mustafajsalehmd @DrChoueiri @SashaGusevPosts Email: Mustafa_jamalsaleh@dfci.harvard.edu

Methods • PDAC PDX model su[obscured] identified using bulk RNA-seq and the PurIST algorithm. • ChIP-seq for the post-translational modifications H3K27ac and H3K4me3, MeDIP-seq, and ATAC-seq, were performed on PDAC PDX. • Differentially marked regions between C and B subtypes were identified using DESeq2 and were validated in an independent cohort of PDAC PDX models4. • cfChIP-seq for H3K27ac and H3K4me3, cfMeDIP-seq, and low-pass whole-genome sequencing (LPWGS) were performed on 1 mL of plasma from patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer. • ctDNA fraction was estimated from LPWGS data using ichorCNA. • A C/B score was derived for each epigenetic feature in individual patients' plasma samples by calculating the ratio of aggregate signal at classical:basal regions. • For each plasma sample, we combined the different epigenetic features to develop the Pancreatic Integrated Epigenomic Score (PIES). • Performance was evaluated using area under the precision-recall curve (AUPRC). • Progression-free survival (PFS) was compared between patients with Low and High PIES using multivariable Cox regression adjusted for ctDNA fraction, liver metastasis, ECOG, CA19-9, and treatment regimen.

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.

[Slide 1] 2423P - Systemic Therapy in Advanced Gastric Neuroendocrine Neoplasms (G-NENs): Real-World Evidence from the R-GETNE National Registry (G-NENCARE) María San-Román-Gil1*, Paula Jiménez-Fonseca2, Alejandro García-Álvarez3, Carlos González-Merino4, Guillermo Crespo-Herrero5, Alberto Carmona-Bayonas6, Marta Benavent-Viñuales7, Carlos López-López8, Vicente Alonso-Orduña9, Ángel Segura-Huerta10, Nieves Martínez-Lago11, Javier Gallego-Plazas12, Marta Llanos-Muñoz13, Laura Nosti-Martínez2, Sergio Pérez-Fernández3, Rocío García-Carbonero1,14 GETNE Grupo Español de Tumores Neuroendocrinos y Endocrinos | Hospital Universitario 12 de Octubre | i+12 Instituto de Investigación Hospital 12 de Octubre INTRODUCTION • Most gastric NENs are indolent type 1 NETs diagnosed at an early stage, so advanced cases are uncommon. • Advanced G-NENs are underrepresented in clinical trials, which limits the evidence available for clinical practice. • We analysed the efficacy of systemic therapy and prognostic factors in advanced G-NENs from the Spanish national registry R-GETNE. METHODS • 191 of 711 (26.9%) G-NENs patients presented with or developed advanced disease registered in R-GETNE by 37 participating Spanish centres (1998–2024) • Overall survival was assessed from metastatic onset (mOS), defined as the start of 1st-line systemic therapy, using the Kaplan–Meier method and compared with the log-rank test; hazard ratios were estimated with Cox regression models. RESULTS Baseline characteristics are summarized in Table 1. 191 patients: 61 NETs (32%), 107 NECs (56%) and 23 (12%) with unknown differentiation. NETs vs NECs: mOS 50m vs 9m (HR 3.39; p<0.001). NETs: Ki-67 was the main prognostic factor - mOS: 66m in G1, 64m in G2-low (3–10%), 34m in G2-high (11–20%), and 10m in G3 tumors (HR 1.76; p=0.021) – FIGURE 1.

CONCLUSIONS • This is one of the largest real-world studies describing treatment patterns and outcomes in advanced Gastric-NENs. • Advanced G-NENs show marked prognostic heterogeneity: Ki-67 drives prognosis and treatment choice in NETs, whereas disease-related factors predominate in NECs. • These findings provide valuable insights for clinical practice of a heterogeneous population underrepresented in clinical trials.

[Slide 1] Method NB003-01 was a global, open-label clinical trial conducted in Asia (China, South Korean), North America (United States), and Europe (France, Spain, United Kingdom). Part 1 Dose Escalation (28-day cycle) (n=42) Advanced GIST after disease progression (PD) on at least imatinib Part 2 Dose Expansion (28-day cycle) (N=148) Cohort 1 (n=56): ≥5th Line GIST, PD on at least imatinib, sunitinib, regorafenib and ripretinib Cohort 2a (n=29): 3rd Line GIST, PD on both imatinib and sunitinib Cohort 2b (n=35): 4th Line GIST, PD on imatinib, sunitinib and regorafenib Cohort 3 (n=28): 2nd Line GIST, PD on imatinib Key Objectives Part 1: Assess safety and tolerability; determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the optimal dose of NB003. Part 2: Assess safety and tolerability; explore efficacy across different disease stages. The data presented are based on analysis of patients with KIT-mutant GIST in both the dose escalation and dose expansion cohorts (N=158).

Ping Chi, MD, PhD ctDNA: circulating tumor DNA. [Slide 3] Conclusion In KIT-mutant GIST, NB003 demonstrated encouraging antitumor effects against a broad spectrum of TKI-resistant KIT mutations and meaningful clinical benefits across later-line treatment settings. NB003 demonstrated a manageable safety profile. Based on the overall safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetic data, the recommended optimal regimen of NB003 is 15 mg twice daily. A multicenter, randomized Phase 3 trial comparing NB003 with regorafenib as third-line therapy for GIST (NB003-04, NCT07379047) is ongoing. Ping Chi, MD, PhD

Concomitant somatostatin analog use in second-line therapy of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors: Survival results from the retrospective retroSAUNA study Dr Siddharth Chhajlani et al, Study Interpretation • Real-world study showing that SSA continuation is done in current practice. • The main biais is the reason to continue SSA beyond progression: driven per "centers' habits versus driven by prognostic factors? • Prospective randomized studies are ongoing: • STOPNET (NCT06345079) : stop SSA or not under PRRT (PEP = PFS rate at 20 months) • SAUNA (NCT05701241) : stop SSA or not, under PRRT or targeted therapy (PEP = PFS) • What is the quality of life of pursuing injections of SSA vs no ? • What is the cost-effectiveness of pursuing SSA ? • Outside of functioning NET requiring SSA or in selected cases, I will wait the results of prospective studies before pursuing SSA [struck through:] (SSA one day, SSA for the life in metastatic non-functioning NETs !)

KEY FINDINGS RAS/BRAF wt N = 222 Study population | 3L treatment 50.0% FTD/TPI + BEV | Prior anti-EGFR 98.3% Rechallenge 17.2% | mPFS 4.3 mo 95% CI 3.4–5.2 | mOS 10.7 mo 95% CI 8.8–12.6 | Response ORR 8.5% DCR 51.2% RECIST-evaluable n=201 BACKGROUND ▸ FTD/TPI + BEV is an established later-line treatment option in mCRC following the phase III SUNLIGHT trial. ▸ In RAS/BRAF wild-type mCRC, multiple later-line strategies may be considered, while real-world evidence specifically characterizing outcomes with FTD/TPI + BEV in this molecular subgroup remains limited. OBJECTIVE To evaluate real-world effectiveness and prognostic factors in patients with RAS/BRAF wild-type mCRC treated with FTD/TPI + BEV. METHODS Multicenter real-world BeTAS study evaluating FTD/TPI + BEV in previously treated mCRC. Eligible patients had failure or intolerance to ≥2 prior systemic regimens. Among 593 patients with known RAS/BRAF status, 222 RAS/BRAF wild-type patients, defined according to baseline tumor tissue testing, were included in this analysis. Efficacy endpoints were OS, PFS, ORR and DCR. Prognostic factors were explored using Kaplan–Meier estimates and Cox proportional hazards models.

CONCLUSIONS 1 Clinically meaningful effectiveness in RAS/BRAF wt mCRC — FTD/TPI + BEV showed clinically meaningful real-world effectiveness in this molecular subgroup. 2 Supported by randomized phase III evidence — The role of FTD/TPI + BEV in later-line mCRC is supported by prospective randomized phase III evidence. 3 A robust evidence-based later-line option — These real-world findings reinforce FTD/TPI + BEV as an evidence-based option for RAS/BRAF wild-type mCRC. In RAS/BRAF wild-type mCRC, FTD/TPI + BEV shows clinically meaningful real-world effectiveness and remains a later-line strategy supported by randomized phase III evidence.

Ram plus FOLFIRI showed increased rates of all-grade gastrointestinal toxicity, but reduced rates of peripheral neuropathy. ➢ Ram plus FOLFIRI might offer a potential treatment option for patients who had received one line of prior therapy and progressed upon taxane therapy and/ or with pre-existing neuropathy.

[Slide 1] regarding the use of daraxonrasib, when available, in patients with RAS-wt, RASG13-mutated or RASG61-mutated tumours. The RASolute 302 trial was not powered or stratified to answer this question.8 Unexplained discrepancies appeared in this small subgroup between a clearly significant OS benefit and a potentially detrimental effect on PFS.8 Despite being eligible, efficacy and toxicity results in these patients were not analysed in the previous studies.7,8 Further data and analyses are needed to fully inform on the tolerability and magnitude of benefit across rare subsets as well as tolerability in patients with ECOG PS 2. Currently, the greatest strength of evidence for the use of daraxonrasib is in patients with RASG12-mutated tumours with ECOG PS 0-1. An algorithm for the management of metastatic PDAC is shown in Figure 1. [Slide 2] T. Conroy & M.

BACKGROUND [partially obscured by people] ...ancer cachexia affects most patients with metastatic pancreatic ...ancer and drives functional decline and mortality, yet its inherited determ[illegible] unknown. We explored whether germli[illegible] related to cachexia, ...arcopenia, [illegible] ...diture are associated with weigh[illegible] MET[HODS] [obscured] RESULTS [Figure: A. Weight loss by genotype (GG n=9, GT n=22, TT n=8; genotype, variant near KLF5); B. Association of the T allele across phenotypes - cachexia/weight-loss phenotypes vs body weight/mass; small text illegible] Figure 2. (A) Percentage weight loss from usual weight to the start of chemotherapy by genotype of the variant near KLF5. (B) Standardized effect of each T allele (95% CI) across phenotypes, ordered from cachexia/weight-loss phenotypes (purple) to body [w]eight/mass (blue). Regression adjusted for sex and age; * significant after Bonferroni correction.

Clinician-reported cachexia (yes/no; 4 [...]ed with Firth logistic regression. Weight loss • Each T allele of the variant near KLF5 was associated with 5.0 percentage points less weight loss (95% CI −7.6 to −2.4; P = 0.0004; Bonferroni P = 0.010), the only association surviving correction for multiple testing. • Median weight loss was 9.8% in GG, 7.9% in GT and 4.1% in TT carriers; cachexia† was present in 8/9 (89%), 16/22 (73%) and 1/8 (13%), respectively (OR per T allele 0.09; 95% CI 0.02–0.47; P = 0.004). Clinician-reported cachexia (4 cases) showed the same direction (OR 0.12; 95% CI 0.01–0.73; P = 0.019; Firth regression). • The effect was robust to clinical adjustment, centre, exclusion of non-European patients, permutation (family-wise P = 0.007) and bootstrap resampling (variant selected in 89% of resamples; effect range −4.7 to −6.3 points). • The association was specific to weight loss: there was no association with usual (pre-illness) body weight or BMI (P = 0.40 and P = 0.74; Figure 2B). • A variant in MTHFR was associated with higher pre-chemotherapy BMI (+3.8 kg/m² per G allele; Bonferroni P = 0.028), largely reflecting higher usual BMI rather than less weight loss. • Across all 416 tests (26 variants × 16 phenotypes), 25 were nominally significant (20.8 expected by chance); only the KLF5-near variant association with weight loss and the MTHFR associations with pre-chemotherapy weight and BMI passed Bonferroni correction (Figure 3). CONCLUSIONS • The T allele of a variant near KLF5, previously linked to lean mass, is associated with less pre-treatment weight loss and less cachexia in metastatic pancreatic cancer, independently of prior body size. • These preliminary findings require replication in a larger, independent cohort.

Eligible patients had failure or intolerance to >=2 prior systemic regimens. A total of 593 patients treated between July 2019 and February 2026 were included into three age groups: <50 years (n=44), 50-75 years (n=393), and >75 years (n=156). Efficacy endpoints were OS, PFS, ORR and DCR; safety was assessed through grade 3-4 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs). Outcomes across age groups were evaluated using Kaplan-Meier estimates, log-rank tests and multivariable Cox proportional hazards models.

RESULTS: ctDNA-RECIST OUTCOMEs Early ctDNA evaluation classified ctDNA-PD (N=1/134-0.7%), ctDNA-DC (122/134-91.0%), and ctDNA-MR (11/134-8.2%). Figure 8. Kaplan–Meier estimates of OS according to ctDNA response: Patients with early ctDNA-MR had longer median OS (15.9 mo), compared to patients with ctDNA-DC (8.9 mo, HR 2.1 95%CI 1.07-4.20, p=0.031). The same applied for PFS (10.0 and 5.9 mo, HR 1.58 95% CI 0.83-3.03, p = 0.16). CONCLUSION This study confirms the clinical validity of ctDNA aberrant methylation of HOXA9 and the potential utility of our ctDNA-RECIST criteria in patients with metastatic BTC, which could be used in prospective studies.

🚨#ESMO26 | Managing toxicities with bispecific therapies 💥Key pearls from Christophe Le Tourneau: • CRS usually occurs early, often within 48h, and becomes less frequent with subsequent doses!!! • ICANS remains uncommon, but early neurological symptoms matter….. • “On-target, off-tumor” toxicity depends on where the target is expressed in normal tissues • Infusion-related reactions are frequent with some agents, but usually manageable with premedication and early intervention! With bispecifics, toxicity management starts by being very specific about the mechanism🎯 @OncoAlert @OncoReporte @myESMO @_SEOM @GrupoMelanoma

[Slide 1] CRS • Non-specific immune response characterized by excessive and rapid activation of T-cells and other effector cells, leading to hypersecretion of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, IL-10, IL-18, IFN-γ, and TNF-α • Often begins with fever, and can escalate to hypotension, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and acute respiratory distress syndrome with hypoxemia • Rarely severe (Grade 3 & 4: 1 – 7%) • Usually occurs within 48 hours after the first dose • Becomes more attenuated with subsequent treatment → It is recommended to use steroids, antihistamines and paracetamol in the first 2 cycles and discontinue if no CRS is experienced Christophe Le Tourneau, MD, PhD [Slide 2] ICANS • Immune effector Cell-Associated Neurotoxicity Syndrome • Often co-occurs with CRS • Disruption of the blood-brain barrier and transcient central cytokine leak due to cytokine-mediated endothelial dysfunction • Linked to IL-1-mediated neuroinflammation, blood-brain barrier breakdown, and disturbance of neuronal excitability • Early symptoms include tremor, dysgraphia, dysphasia (especially in naming objects), apraxia, and lethargy, with potential progression to seizures, encephalopathy, or coma • Remains rare (1 – 8%) Christophe Le Tourneau, MD, PhD [Slide 3] On-target off-tumor toxicity • Due to antigens expressed on normal tissues • Toxicities depend on the targets: - CEA → GI toxicity - EGFR → skin toxicity - EpCAM → liver toxicity, diarrhea - gp100 → skin toxicity - GPRC5D → skin & nail disorders, loss of sense of taste - BCMA → hypogammaglobulinemia, risk of infection Christophe Le Tourneau, MD, PhD [Slide 4] Infusion-related reactions (IRR) Neurologic and psychiatric: Dizziness, Headache, Weakness, Syncope, Seizure, Anxiety, Sense of impeding doom 40% Respiratory: Dyspnea, Nasal Congestion, Rhinitis, Sneezing, Oropharyngeal or laryngeal edema, Bronchospasm, Tachypnea, Cyanosis, Respiratory arrest 30% Cardiovascular: Tachycardia, Hypotension, Arrhythmia, Chest pain, Ischemia or infarction, Cardiac arrest 90% Cutaneous: Flushing, Erythema, Pruritus, Urticaria, Angioedema, Rash Gastrointestinal: Nausea, Vomiting, Cramping, Diarrhoea Other: Chills, Fever Figure 1.

[Slide 1] STUDY DESIGN EMERALD-3 is a global, randomised, open-label, sponsor-blinded, multicentre, Phase 3 study(1) Study population(1): • Confirmed HCC not amenable to curative treatment, but eligible for embolisation • Child-Pugh class A • ECOG PS 0 or 1 • No extrahepatic disease • Excludes Vp3 and Vp4 • No prior systemic therapy Stratification factors(1): • Geographical region (Japan vs Asia [excluding Japan] vs rest of the world) • Prior palliative locoregional therapy (1 >6 months vs 1 ≤6 months vs none) • Baseline tumour burden (>Up-to-7 vs ≤Up-to-7) R* N=760 Arm A: STRIDE + L + TACE† (n=293) Arm B: STRIDE + TACE† (n=175) Arm C: TACE† (n=292) *Participants were randomised 1:1:1 to Arms A, B and C until each arm reached 175 participants; following this, randomisation continued 1:1 to Arms A and C until reaching ~275 participants per arm Primary endpoint‡: • PFS for Arm A vs C per RECIST v1.1 by BICR Key secondary endpoints‡: • OS for Arm A vs C • PFS for Arm B vs C per RECIST v1.1 by BICR • OS for Arm B vs C Other secondary endpoints included‡: • PFS2, PROs, safety Post-hoc exploratory assessments: • TTNT • Mean ALBI and Child-Pugh scores over the treatment period EMERALD-3: NCT05301842. In this post-hoc exploratory analysis, underlined variables are reported by baseline liver function. †DEB-TACE or conventional TACE. TACE starts ≥7 days after tremelimumab + durvalumab ± lenvatinib for Arms A and B or within 7 days of randomisation for Arm C, followed by additional procedures at the investigator's discretion. Treatment will continue for up to a maximum of 36 months. ‡Under a multiple testing procedure, the primary endpoint and key secondary endpoints are assessed sequentially in hierarchical order. BICR, blinded independent central review; DEB-TACE, drug-eluting bead transarterial chemoembolisation; ECOG PS, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status; PFS2, time from randomisation to earliest progression following first objective progression after the first subsequent therapy or death; PRO, patient-reported outcome; R, randomised; RECIST, Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors; TTNT, time from randomisation to first subsequent therapy or death; Vp3, thrombosis in the right or left portal vein; Vp4, thrombosis in the main truck of the portal vein. 1.

Chronological age ≠ biological age. Fit geriatric GI cancer pts may still benefit from curative-intent therapy. Immunotherapy responses aren't necessarily diminished by age, and the microbiome may play a role. Patient goals should guide every decision. #GIOn #ESMO2026 https://t.co/WcHGVzQidy

[Slide 2] Interactive prognostic model of overall survival in advanced gastric adenocarcinoma in the immunotherapy era: the AGAMENON-SEOM registry FPN: 8949 ESMO Congress 2026 · Madrid, 23-27 October G. Marín, R. Hernández San Gil, B. García Porlan, I. Gardeazabal, A. Custodio, A. Fernández Montes, E. Terán Brage, A. Francisco Fernández, M. Ruiz Martín, T. Sauri, A. Calvo, F. Longo Muñoz, P. Ribera Fernández, L. Visa, C. Hierro, L. Gutiérrez, A. Martín Carnicero, P. Jimenez-Fonseca, J. Gallego, A. Carmona Bayonas BACKGROUND • Adding immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) to first-line chemotherapy changed the treatment of advanced HER2-negative gastric/gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma. • Access to ICI depends on PD-L1 CPS, a continuous variable dichotomised at trial-specific cut-offs (CPS ≥1, ≥5, ≥10). • No validated prognostic model integrates continuous PD-L1 with routine clinical and laboratory variables. Aims: (1) build an individualised OS model and interactive calculator; (2) validate it; (3) explore long-term (3-year) survival and a "cured" fraction by CPS. METHODS • Design: observational, multicentre AGAMENON-SEOM registry (41 hospitals). • Population: advanced HER2-negative non-squamous gastric/GEJ adenocarcinoma; first-line CT ± anti-PD-1 from 2021. Registry 5,814 → first line since 2021, 1,581 → HER2-negative, 1,229 → 1,178 with evaluable follow-up. • Endpoint: OS from start of first line. • Analysis: Kaplan-Meier, log-rank; multivariable Cox with a-priori covariates; restricted cubic splines for CPS, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and age; ICI × spline(log-CPS) interaction; multiple imputation. • Performance: C-index (apparent, bootstrap, external), calibration at 1–3 years; temporal validation in later patients. Mixture cure models with four latency distributions. PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS | Total | CT alone | CT + anti-PD-1 Patients, n | 1,178 | 688 | 490 Age, median [IQR] | 66 [57–74] | 66 [56–74] | 66 [58–74] Male | 67% | 66% | 68% ECOG ≥2 | 12% | 15% | 9% Lauren diffuse | 59% | 64% | 52% Peritoneal metastases | 48% | 53% | 42% CPS, median [IQR] | 6 [1–15] | 1 [0–4] | 12 [6–23] CPS ≥10 (of tested) | 38% | 11% | 62% Oxaliplatin regimen | 91% | 85% | 98% Deaths | 65% | 70% | 57% Percentages of known values. CPS tested in 74% (60% CT alone; 93% CT + anti-PD-1). RESULTS 12.4 vs 10.1 mo — Median OS, CT + anti-PD-1 vs CT (n = 1,178; 762 deaths) HR 0.75 — 95% CI 0.65–0.87; unadjusted; log-rank p <0.001 19% vs 11% — Alive at 3 years (1-/2-year: 52/29% vs 45/19%) ICI benefit grows continuously with PD-L1 CPS Multivariable Cox, ICI × spline(log-CPS), n = 1,178: interaction p = 0.013; non-linear component p = 0.008. CPS <5: few patients treated with ICI HR at CPS 1: 0.71; CPS 5: 0.99; CPS 10: 0.90; CPS 20: 0.72; CPS 50: 0.50; CPS 100: 0.37 HR, CT + anti-PD-1 vs CT PD-L1 CPS (log scale) Continuous spline estimate with 95% CI (shaded); labels show HR at selected CPS values.

Research tool; does not replace clinical judgement. Long-term survival and "cure" • CPS ≥10: alive at 2/3 years 31%/20% with CT + anti-PD-1 vs 14%/11% with CT alone (Kaplan-Meier). • Predicted 3-year OS falls with CPS on CT alone and rises from CPS 10 with anti-PD-1 (≈30% at CPS 100). • Cured fraction with anti-PD-1 depends on the assumed distribution (15%, 12%, 7% or 0%); the best-fitting model has no cure fraction. No plateau yet (max follow-up 46 months). CONCLUSIONS • ICI benefit is not a threshold effect: it grows continuously and non-linearly with CPS (interaction p = 0.013). • First AGAMENON-SEOM prognostic model for the immunotherapy era: continuous CPS, treatment and ten clinical-laboratory variables in a free online calculator, validated in independent patients (C-index 0.67). • 3-year survival depends on CPS and treatment; a cured fraction is not yet identifiable and needs longer follow-up.

485P FFPN-485P Adjuvant Chemotherapy for Operated Ampullary Adenocarcinomas Based on Histology and Intensification - Results from the Pancreatobiliary Cohort APACHI STUDY Anant Ramaswamy, Venkatesh Darshan, Prabhat G. Bhargava, Vikram A. Chaudhari, Manish Bhandare, Anuradha Mehta, George John, Subhash Yadav, Rajiv K. Kaushal, Munita Bal, Reena Engineer, Rahul Krishnatry, Shivakumar Gudi, Sadhana Kannan, Poonam Jadhav, Sharon F. Sunn, Shailesh Shrikhande, Vikas S. Ostwal Tata Memorial Centre, Mumbai, India BACKGROUND The mainstay of management for resectable ampullary adenocarcinoma (AC) is resection. The role of adjuvant therapy in resected AC is debatable. Most guidelines suggest a histology based approach (intestinal vs pancreatobiliary subtyping) to adjuvant therapy, but there is limited prospective data for the same. AC are relatively common in India in comparison to pancreatic cancers. AIMS & OBJECTIVES PRIMARY ENDPOINT: 2-year Recurrence Free Survival (RFS) SECONDARY ENDPOINTS: 2-year Overall Survival (OS) Adverse events Proportion of patients completing planned treatment Serious adverse events (SAEs) ELIGIBILITY Key Inclusion Criteria: Age: 18-75 years Diagnosis: Histologically confirmed Stage II-III adenocarcinoma of the ampulla post R0/R1 resection (as per AJCC 8th edition) Performance Status: ECOG PS 0-1 Organ Function: Adequate end-organ function Histological Subtype: Intestinal (IT) or pancreatobiliary (PB) Informed Consent: Ability to provide written informed consent TRIAL DESIGN & SAMPLE SIZE ESTIMATION Study Design: APACHI is designed as a two arm, non-randomized, open-label, prospective, parallel, adaptive design Phase II clinical trial. Sample Size Estimation: Available evidence with the use of gemcitabine as adjuvant therapy in operated AC shows a differential RFS with respect to AC and PB subtypes. The study is conducted as two parallel, single-stage Phase II clinical trials. Statistical analyses will be performed within each treatment arm with no formal statistical comparisons between the treatment arms. The 2 year RFS post surgery and adjuvant gemcitabine for AC-PB subtype is approximately 60%. For the AC-PB cohort, assuming expected 2 year RFS with gemcitabine chemotherapy (historical cohort) is 60%, a study with a power of 80% and two-sided alpha of 10% will require 67 patients to show an improvement in 2 year RFS to 75% with mFOLFIRINOX. (inclusive of an attrition rate of 10%). METHOD Phase II non - randomized open label prospective parallel adaptive design Operated periampullary (Stage II or stage III) R0/R1 resection N = 193 PB Cohort Reported & Complete Pancreatobiliary subtype -> Modified FOLFIRINOX biweekly x 6 Intestinal subtype -> CAPOX x 4 every 3 weeks Primary endpoint: RFS Secondary endpoints: OS, QOL, Tolerance, Toxicity, Recurrence IT & PB subtypes will be classified based on morphology and IHC CHARACTERISTICS of STUDY COHORT Characteristic | Number (Percentage) (N=66) Age (Range) | 50 (23-72) Stage II | 16 (24) Stage III | 50 (76) Median Nodal retrieval (range) | 23 (3-54) R0 resection | 64 (97%) Presence of PNI | 25 (38) Presence of LVI | 23 (35) Completed planned chemotherapy | 52 (81) Number of recurrences | 29 (44) CONCLUSION - Adjuvant mFOLFIRINOX for 3 months was feasible in patients with resected stage II-III ampullary cancers (pancreato-biliary subtype) with high treatment completion rates, but did not achieve statistical significance in improving 2-year RFS compared to historical controls treated with gemcitabine. - Further trials and genomic data might provide further information on the management of these relatively rare subset of Gastrointestinal cancers. DISCLOSURES & CONTACT - Funding and Drug Support: The study received grants from Reliance Life Sciences and TRAC, along with an honorarium from Cadila. - Correspondence: Dr Anant Ramaswamy (anantr13@gmail.com).

Bacterial Translocation and Activation • LOCRC: Higher systemic microbial-driven profile (higher LPS, LBP, MCP-4) due to increased gut barrier vulnerability. • EOCRC: Higher systemic levels of epithelial antimicrobial defense (higher HBD2/HBD3) Genetic Background • Distinct HLA class I allele combinations (B*15/B*57 in EOCRC; B*08/B*35 in LOCRC) suggest a potential differential capacity to present and detect tumor antigens in EO and LOCRC, requiring further exploration EOCRC and LOCRC are biologically distinct diseases that can be differentiated by blood biomarkers, indicating that clinical and therapeutic strategies cannot rely on a universal biomarker

#ESMO26 #GIST: three nice abstracts tackling the same problem (polyclonal resistance) from different angles. Resistance after imatinib is a mosaic of secondary KIT mutations and no approved KIT inhibitor addresses them all. Kudos to Dr. @RobinL_Jones, Dr Bauer, Dr Chi and Dr @dileo_palma for an excellent session. Great discussion by Dr. Dileo. 🔹 PEAK crossover bezuclastinib + sunitinib (SUT) after PD on 2L SUT: • ORR 29.7% (56% if best response to SUT was PD); • mPFS 7.4; • Gr≥3 TRAEs 39%, discontinuation 2.3% Caveat: non-randomized, benefit drops from the historical 16.5 mo upfront to 7.4 mo after SUT failure. 🔹 NB003 - final analysis of ph1 (n=158): • ORR 46.7% in 3L and 45.7% in 4L, 12.5% in ≥5L • mPFS 13.8 mo (3L), 11.0 mo (4L), 3.9 mo (≥5L) • Responses across a variety of secondary mutations in ABP and AL. Caveat: predominant Asian representation (67%), Gr≥3 anemia 55%, CPK rise 49%. Phase 3 GISTAR-1 (vs. Rego) will provide more definitive efficacy data in the 3rd-line setting, but will only accrue in Asia. 🔹 StrateGIST-1 —> longitudinal ctDNA analysis: • Detectable baseline ctDNA: PFS 7.3 vs 16.6 mo (HR 0.39) • Clearance (>99% drop in maxVAF) at wk 2/4/8: HR 0.51/0.65/0.57 • Mutation-agnostic maxVAF outperformed mean VAF and Guardant360 score Caveat: exploratory, landmark bias, not shown independent of imaging or tumour burden. Hypothesis-generating. 💡 Take-Home: 1. Broader KIT coverage is the shared goal, and treating earlier is likely better. 2. Combination vs single broad-spectrum agent is unresolved, with different toxicity trade-offs (and access/costs, once these drugs start getting approved). 3. ctDNA could serve all three strategies, as an early efficacy readout, for response-adapted treatment and for trial enrichment, but needs prospective validation. #ESMO2026 #ESMOAmbassadors @myESMO #GIST

Dr Palma Dileo [Slide 4] Take-home messages 1 Resistance in GIST is a mosaic of secondary KIT mutations: broader KIT coverage is the shared goal of all three abstracts. 2 Bezuclastinib + sunitinib rescues some pts after sunitinib failure, but its value is greatest when used earlier. 3 NB003 shows striking 3L/4L activity in a phase I; the randomized phase 3 against regorafenib will be the test. 4 Early mKIT ctDNA clearance on velzatinib tracks with PFS; it is hypothesis-generating and needs validation before guiding treatment.

[Slide 1] Perioperative Therapy in 2026: What Have We Learned? 1. Chemoimmunotherapy is changing the standard of care. MATTERHORN demonstrates improved survival with durvalumab + FLOT in resectable gastric/GEJ cancer 2. Surgery remains central to curative-intent treatment. Modern perioperative strategies improve outcomes while preserving surgical delivery 3. Response is important, but not synonymous with cure. pCR is prognostic; cCR cannot yet reliably exclude residual disease or justify routine omission of surgery 4. The future is biomarker-driven personalization. MSI-H/dMMR opens opportunities for de-escalation; ctDNA may help guide future treatment decisions Daniela Molena, MD [Slide 2] Perioperative Therapy in 2026: What Have We Learned? 1.

Modern perioperative strategies improve outcomes while preserving surgical delivery Daniela Molena, MD [Slide 3] The Future: Escalate, Maintain, or De-escalate? Personalizing Perioperative Therapy: The Next Frontier ESCALATE - Persistent molecular disease or high-risk biology - Investigate intensified systemic therapy MAINTAIN - Most patients with resectable disease - Evidence-based perioperative therapy + high-quality surgery DE-ESCALATE - MSI-H/dMMR and exceptional responders - Chemotherapy-free strategies; organ preservation in clinical trials The future is not more treatment for everyone, but the right treatment for each patient. Daniela Molena, MD [Slide 4] ctDNA: Detecting Residual Risk, Not Proving Cure Beyond Clinical Response: Can ctDNA Close the Gap? After neoadjuvant therapy Endoscopy + imaging + biopsies + molecular assessment ctDNA undetectable - Associated with lower recurrence risk in some cohorts - Does not exclude residual local or nodal disease ctDNA detectable - May identify molecular residual disease and increased recurrence risk - Whether treatment escalation improves survival remains under investigation Can molecular response guide treatment escalation or de-escalation? ctDNA complements clinical assessment; it does not yet establish pathological complete response.

Characterising long-term non-progressors receiving Atezolizumab and Bevacizumab for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) Dr Sam Rozewicz¹; Dr Andrea Martirena²; Menon Shanthakumar¹; Dr Robert Goldstein¹; Prof Timothy Meyer¹; Dr Alexa Childs¹ ¹Royal Free Hospital, London, UK. ²Fundación Jiménez Díaz University Hospital, Madrid, Spain NHS Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust Introduction: • Atezolizumab and bevacizumab (AB) is an established first line treatment for advanced HCC. Despite an objective response rate (ORR) of 30% and improved median overall survival (mOS) compared with sorafenib, over 60% of patients receiving AB will progress within 12 months of starting treatment. • In this study we aimed to characterise long-term non-progressors (LTNP) and assess clinicopathological factors associated with sustained benefit from AB in a real-world cohort. Methods: • Patients treated with AB at The Royal Free Hospital (London) between July 2020 and December 2024 were identified from MDT records and clinicopathological characteristics and survival outcomes retrospectively reviewed. Radiological response was assessed every 9-12 weeks using RECIST v1.1. • We compared LTNP, defined as patients with progression-free survival of ≧12 months from treatment initiation with short-term progressors (STP), those who progressed <12 months. Results: Figure 1. Proportion of LTNP vs STP — Total 166 patients; LTNP (n=54) 32%; STP (n=112) 68% Figure 2. Kaplan Meier Estimates of Overall Survival — mOS LTNP 29.2mths vs STP 7.7 mths HR 0.19 (95% CI 0.13-0.3) • At 18 mths, 63% of LTNP had not progressed. • Median treatment duration was 15 mths in LTNP v 2.8 mths in STP (p<0.01). • 26.4% of LTNP discontinued B before A due to AE v 7.1% STP (p<0.01). • For LTNP that did stop B, median time on treatment with both agents was 12.5 mths. Table 1. Patient Characteristics Patient characteristics | Overall, n=166 (%) | LTNP, n=54 (%) | STP, n=112 (%) | p value Age, years, median | 70 | 71 | 69 | 0.625 Male gender | 143 (86.1) | 51 (94.4) | 92 (82.1) | 0.032 ECOG 0 | 78 (47) | 32 (59.3) | 46 (41.1) | 0.143 ECOG 1 | 82 (49.4) | 21 (38.9) | 61 (54.5) | ECOG 2+ | 6 (3.6) | 1 (1.9) | 5 (4.5) | Cirrhosis present | 117 (70.5) | 39 (72.2) | 78 (69.9) | 0.733 Aetiology of CLD — MASLD | 38 (22.9) | 13 (24.1) | 25 (22.3) | 0.833 ArLD | 30 (18.1) | 10 (18.5) | 20 (17.9) | Viral hepatitis | 54 (32.5) | 18 (33.3) | 36 (32.1) | Other | 18 (10.8) | 7 (13.0) | 11 (9.8) | Portal vein thrombus | 72 (43.4) | 20 (37.0) | 52 (46.4) | 0.253 Extra-hepatic spread present | 29 (17.6) | 5 (9.3) | 24 (21.6) | 0.05 AFP ng/ml, median | 30.1 | 10.6 | 56.2 | 0.411 ALBI Grade 1 | 113 (68.1) | 39 (72.2) | 74 (66.1) | 0.436 ALBI Grade 2 | 53 (31.9) | 15 (27.8) | 38 (33.9) | • LTNP were more likely to be male (94.4% v 82.1%, p=0.03) and less likely to have extra-hepatic disease (9.3% v 21.6%, p=0.05). • There were no significant differences in other baseline characteristics: portal vein involvement, baseline AFP, ALBI grade, prior HCC therapy, ECOG PS, presence of cirrhosis and aetiology of liver disease. • LTNP discontinued therapy due to PD (n=19), AE (9), liver decompensation (7) and death (4). Figure 3. Radiological response per RECIST 1.1 in LTNP vs STP Objective Response Rate (ORR) (CR + PR): LTNP (n=54) 58.5% | STP (n=112) 11.5% | p < 0.01 Stable Disease (SD): LTNP 41.5% | STP 29.2% | p < 0.01 • LTNP experienced higher ORR compared to STP Figure 4. Frequency and management of ImAE in LTNP vs STP Patients experiencing ImAE (% of patients): LTNP 37.7% | STP 23.0% | p=[illegible] Stopped treatment due to ImAE (% of those with ImAE): LTNP 25.0% | STP 46.2% | p=[illegible] Conclusion: In this single centre, real world cohort, we demonstrate that 32% patients treated with first-line AB are LTNP which in turn is associated with improved survival. Objective radiological response is the strongest predictor of LTNP but 41.5 % of those with SD will also achieve LTNP.

Two diff presentations from Wan (Uk) and Tsukada (Japan): Really interesting data in CRC and NSCLC using WGS of plasma and tissue. Two diff methods, but equally sensitive with very low LOD. MRD+ = poorer outlook. #LCSM #ESMO26 https://t.co/ZNqo7sxXDZ

What makes arcotatug tavatecan different? A CLDN18.2-targeted "delivery vehicle", rather than an immune-effector antibody Arcotatug tavatecan DAR 4:1 [Antibody-drug conjugate schematic with labels:] Anti-CLDN18.2-antibody; Exatecan payload TOPO I inhibitor; Glycan-based conjugated cleavable linker; Fc-silenced to mitigate side effects Selectively delivers cytotoxin into CLDN18.2+ tumours ➢ CLDN18.2 ADC: internalization releases exatecan, a potent TOP1 inhibitor with bystander killing; myelosuppression is the main toxicity. ➢ Fc-silenced design minimizes ADCC/CDC, distinguishing it from zolbetuximab and potentially reducing on-target/off-tumor gastric mucosal toxicity. ➢ CLDN18.2 expression levels and heterogeneity may be particularly relevant for effective payload delivery.

[Slide 1] BTC: Delayed Diagnosis an Ongoing Issue1 - 35 patients: iCCA (42.9%), dCCA (17.1%), gallbladder (14.3%), ampullary (14.3%) and pCCA (11.4%) - The majority of patients (60%) had metastases at diagnosis. Only 37.1% underwent surgery and 17.1% received no treatment 1 Treatment options [pie]: Surgery 37.1% | No treatment 17.1% | First-line treatment 45.8% Conclusion - Biliary tumors are often diagnosed at advanced stages due to significant diagnostic delays caused by non-specific symptoms. - These delays limit curative treatment options and worsen prognosis. - Improved early detection strategies and awareness are crucial to enhancing outcomes and survival rates.

It is expected that half of patients diagnosed with aBTC will have a diagnosis of eCCA, followed by iCCA (one quarter) and GBC (one quarter). Within the targetable alterations, FGFR2 fusions and IDH1 mutations are most frequent in iCCA, while HER-2 amplifications are mainly seen in eCCA and GBC.

[M]ETIMMOX (randomized phase 2; NCT03388190): alternating oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy (FLOX) + nivolumab vs FLOX alone; identical PFS. [P]ost hoc subgroup signals (TMB/BRAF, CRP, TLR) conflated prognostic and predictive effects; we separated them in one pre-specified interaction model per endpoint. Methods ○ 68 complete cases (59 deaths; 63 PFS events). ○ Biomarkers before nivolumab: TMB ≥9 mut/Mb or BRAF V600E; CRP <5 mg/L after 2 FLOX cycles common to both arms (by chance 47% vs 19% positive). ○ TLR ≥10% at the first on-treatment CT: analyzed as intermediate endpoint with a week-9 landmark. ○ Per endpoint (PFS, OS): one Firth-corrected Cox model with age, sex, treatment, biomarker main effects and treatment × biomarker interactions (Figure 1); profile-likelihood 95% CIs, PLRT. ○ Ridge-penalized Cox as co-primary stability estimator.

Largest signal: CRP × treatment for PFS, HR 0.26 (0.06–1.34), p = 0.10, but it shrinks toward 1 under ridge (HR 0.66) and is weaker for OS (HR 0.65). ○ TLR: strongly prognostic (landmark HR 0.35 OS, 0.21 PFS), but more frequent with FLOX alone (76% vs 53%), with inconsistent interactions (HR 2.47 OS, 0.88 PFS): a marker of chemotherapy-responsive disease, not of nivolumab benefit.

Each analysis included 73 common patients to determine the most accurate method to use. ctDNA, circulating tumor DNA; G360, Guardant Health 360; HR, hazard ratio; maxVAF, maximum variant allele frequency; mKIT, mutant KIT; mPFS, median progression-free survival; mRECIST, Modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors; VAF, variant allele frequency. actDNA clearance was defined as a >99% reduction of mKIT VAF (which includes KIT and PDGFRA) from baseline. In this analysis, clinical activity was assessed by mRECIST v1.1 and plasma samples were analyzed at baseline and weeks 2, 4, 8, and 32, using G360 (74-gene panel). Results presented here examine ctDNA clearance at week 8. Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology was used as an assistant for coding, but not for the generation of figures. bGuardant uses a proprietary algorithm to calculate molecular response based on mean VAF and clonal hematopoiesis variants filtering. cMean VAF is calculated using all somatic variants, without filtering variants associated with clonal hematopoiesis. dMaxVAF is the highest VAF of a single KIT/PDGFRA mutation and could differ between cycle 1 day 1 and an on-treatment timepoint.

Progress Towards Personalised Care in Advanced CCA: Impact of an Online Micro-Learning Educational Initiative on Clinician Knowledge, Competence, and Practice Readiness Ben Johnson1, Michael Beyer1, Rianna Hanif1, Jessica Massey1, Angela Lamarca2, Nicola Normanno3, Rachna Shroff4† 1PVI, PeerView Institute for Medical Education, London, UK; 2Fundacion Jimenez Diaz University Hospital, Madrid, Spain; 3IRCCS Istituto Romagnolo per lo Studio dei Tumori "Dino Amadori" – IRST S.r.l., Meldola, Italy; 4University of Arizona Cancer Center (UACC), University of Arizona College of Medicine – Tucson, Tucson, Arizona, USA. † In memoriam: Dr. Shroff was instrumental in the development of this activity. We are grateful for her contributions to this activity and the field of medicine. Background & Methods The goal of precision oncology is to deliver the right treatment to the right patient, at the right dose and at the right time. In cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), key actionable alterations, including FGFR2 alterations, IDH1/2 mutations, BRAF V600E mutations, HER2 overexpression and alterations, NTRK fusions and MSI-H/dMMR status, now inform personalised treatment selection. As the therapeutic landscape evolves, clinicians require practical support to interpret molecular findings and integrate evidence-based targeted approaches into patient-centred care. Design: PeerView deployed a CME-certified, online video-based micro-learning activity that blended the clinical journey of a patient with advanced CCA with expert guidance and relevant clinical evidence on implementing targeted treatment approaches. Five assessment questions were administered to learners after the education and to a demographically matched group of non-participants to evaluate differences in knowledge and competence. Here, we report the findings 7 months after launching this initiative. Programme Reach 2,491 learners across 72 countries(a) 34,386 patients with advanced CCA potentially impacted per month(b) 1,309 supplementary material downloads, demonstrating active engagement beyond passive viewing Interprofessional audience comprising oncologists (42%), gastroenterologists (13%), pathologists (11%), nurses/NPs/PAs (9%) and other HCPs (25%) a Data cut-off: 7 months from launch (November 2025-June 2026). b Estimated from participant-reported monthly patient load. Impact on Knowledge & Competence The objective of this initiative was to improve the understanding and practical application of precision approaches in the management of advanced CCA. 40 percentage point (pp) mean difference across all assessed knowledge and competence domains [legend] Non-participants / Learners 57 pp difference — 35% → 92% — in understanding of the clinical landscape for the management of advanced CCA and the differences in available targeted therapies 38 pp difference — 45% → 83% — in the ability to formulate team-based, personalised CCA clinical care plans that align therapy with a patient's molecular profiling results and support treatment across the care continuum 8 pp difference — 75% → 83% — in the ability to integrate evidence-based molecular profiling tools and interpret results to inform therapeutic decision-making in advanced CCA ✓ Following participation, no learners selected 'I'm not sure' on any of the five assessed knowledge/competence questions. These findings suggest meaningfully increased confidence in applying the educational content. ★ Key finding: Understanding of evidence on emerging combination targeted therapy represented the largest knowledge gap between non-participants and learners. On a question assessing this area, 16% of non-participants and 92% of learners responded correctly—a 76-pp difference and the largest of any assessed question. This suggests that clinicians in the target audience may benefit from accessible updates as the therapeutic landscape evolves. Ongoing Unmet Needs Self-reported practice considerations among non-participants (n = 50) 84% reported opportunities for further support in applying updated treatment guidance in routine practice 68% described practical challenges in ensuring timely, comprehensive molecular profiling 72% identified a need for further support in recognising appropriate clinical trial referral opportunities Key Themes Identified for Future Education Open-ended requests for more information/future education among non-participants (n = 50) 1 Therapeutic sequencing after frontline chemoimmunotherapy — Uncertainty about optimal treatment decisions following progression on frontline regimens was the most frequently cited clinical challenge. 2 Targeted therapy safety in community settings — Targeted therapy toxicities were a particular area of uncertainty for non-specialist and community-based clinicians. Recognition and grading of toxicities and dose-modification protocols represent a distinct, actionable educational gap. 3 Keeping pace with the emerging evidence base — Rapidly evolving early-phase combination trial data represented the largest driver of knowledge gaps in this programme. Clinicians require accessible, evidence-based updates to translate emerging findings confidently into clinical decision-making. The corresponding author has no conflicts of interest to share.

MASTERPLAN full publication is out!! The RT volumes are worth a closer look. CTV = primary GTV + nodal GTV + tumour-vessel interface. The TVI extends 5 mm proximally and 5 mm distally along involved/closely adjacent vessels, for patients where surgery is likely. PTV = CTV/ITV + 5 mm. No elective nodal irradiation, and no elective perineural or celiac/SMA plexus volume specified in the protocol. That is a focused target, with gross nodal disease included. Real-time RTQA is a big part of this story. Review identified 36 major planning deviations in 12 patients, reduced to 2 deviations in 2 patients after QA. All plans passed independent review before treatment. As a radiation oncologist, I want that detail alongside the outcomes. Reproducing the treatment means reproducing the contour review, OAR constraints and image guidance too. Also worth keeping the treatment delivery denominator in view: only 40/49 patients assigned to SBRT actually received it (82%). The efficacy analysis is intention-to-treat. It should not be read as an outcome series of patients who all completed SBRT. The surgical numbers need some unpacking. All comparisons below are chemo + SBRT vs chemo alone: ✅ Underwent surgery: 62% vs 44% (29/47 vs 11/25). ✅ Completed resection: 53% vs 44% (25/47 vs 11/25). ✅ R0 among all resected patients: 52% vs 36% (13/25 vs 4/11). ✅ R0 in the resected POPC subset: 62% vs 40% (13/21 vs 4/10). POPC is the potentially operable cohort. So the 62% surgery figure includes exploration without resection, while the 62% R0 figure applies only to resected POPC patients. These are different endpoints with different denominators. None of those between-arm surgical comparisons was statistically significant. The paper also defines R0 as more than 1 mm clearance. Adjuvant chemo is another important difference: 80% vs 36% of resected patients received it (20/25 vs 4/11). That complicates attribution within the treatment pathway. Early progression in the control group may have contributed, so this is a post-randomisation imbalance with more than one possible explanation. The post-hoc analyses were directionally consistent, but the authors explicitly caution about selection bias. For the planning details: PTV_EVAL excluded the GI PRVs, with a minimum 3 mm PRV expansion. OAR constraints took priority over target coverage. Duodenum, stomach and small bowel D0.5cc were each constrained to <33 Gy, with V30 <5 cc. Delivery used standard linacs; breath hold was recommended, and fiducials were placed in 35/40 patients (88%). This is relevant to how we would implement the approach in practice. With no elective nodes, isolated regional nodal relapse was 4% vs 8% (2/49 vs 2/25). Reassuring, although that does not establish the optimal elective volume (especially considering these patients went to surgery - ASTRO/NRG recommends inclusion of elective perineural coverage). Overall G3+ AEs were 70% vs 64% (33/47 vs 16/25). One G3 pancreatitis and one G2 small bowel obstruction were attributed to SBRT. The practical takeaway for me is to keep the target definition and prospective QA attached to the results, and to be precise about what the surgery and R0 numbers actually measure.

Full UNION paper is out in Lancet Oncol. Supplement Table S4 caught my eye: median time from RT start to surgery was 72 vs 113 days (SCRT/IO vs control), yet pCR was 39.8% vs 15.3%. I would've expected LOWER pCR with surgery that much sooner(!), as we've seen in past short-course RT trials. Makes that response signal even more interesting! Adding ICI in rectal cancer sure seems enticing! Are we entering a new frontier?!? --- #ASTRO26 STELLAR II (Li): phase 2/3, 588 pts w/ pMMR LARC, SCRT 25/5 → CAPOX x4 +/- sintilimab. Adding sintilimab increased CR (pCR + cCR) from 27% → 52% (p<0.001). pCR among operated pts went from 19% → 42%. G3-4 toxicity also went up, 20% → 28%. Looking forward to the primary phase 3 endpoint, 3y DFS, which is still pending. --- #ASTRO26 TORCH-iTNT (Wang) asks a different question: randomized phase II, pMMR LARC, CAPOX + toripalimab x6 w/ vs w/o SCRT 25/5. CR was 37% w/o RT → 62% w/ SCRT. IO in both arms here. --- Unlike UNION, both ASTRO trials allowed watch-and-wait / organ preservation, so CR includes cCR. These aren't all pCR comparisons. Oh and of course standard caveat that cross trial comparisons are a sin. UNION enrolled only surgery-intended pts, and both arms got just 2 cycles of consolidation chemo vs the 4-6 now recommended. I wonder how this compares w/ modern TNT, especially when organ preservation is the goal. https://t.co/0D7ygEoO7I #ESMO26 #radonc #OncTwitter #CRCSM

Day 3 at #ESMO26: five studies worth a closer look through a radiation oncology lens. My take on the key results and what they could mean for practice in GU, GI and lung cancers. #RadOnc #SBRT https://t.co/iYTssWpk8o
#ESMO26 · Oct 25, 2026 · View post on X →
Day 3 of ESMO - European Society for Medical Oncology 2026. Five studies that caught my attention from a radiation oncology perspective, focusing on GU, gastrointestinal and lung cancers: DASL-HiCaP | Prostate cancer Adding darolutamide to ADT and RT improved 4-year metastasis-free survival: 95% vs 88% (HR 0.42). Strong evidence for intensification in very high-risk disease. Postoperative RT patients were also included, although benefit in this subgroup needs clarification. Overall survival follow-up continues. MASTERPLAN | Pancreatic cancer SBRT (40 Gy/5 fractions) reduced 12-month locoregional recurrence from 52% to 20%, with median overall survival of 22 vs 14 months. Encouraging randomised phase II results, requiring confirmation in a larger trial. UNION | Rectal cancer Three-year event-free survival reached 91% with short-course RT, CAPOX and camrelizumab, compared with 77% with long-course chemoradiotherapy and CAPOX. A potential step forward for immunotherapy within a combined treatment strategy. SARON | Oligometastatic NSCLC Consolidative RT improved local control and progression-free survival, without a demonstrated overall survival benefit. These findings reinforce the need to individualise treatment and consider the RT approach used. SANO | Oesophageal cancer After complete clinical response, 5-year overall survival was 50% with surveillance vs 54% with surgery, but distant metastases were higher: 46% vs 29%. An option to discuss carefully with selected patients, requiring close surveillance and timely surgery for regrowth. Plenty to discuss at our next multidisciplinary meetings.

HARMONi-GI1 | ESMO 2026 | LBA8 TWO TARGETS BEAT ONE! 🎯 Ivonescimab (PD-1 × VEGF) challenges durvalumab (PD-L1) in 1L advanced biliary tract cancer. Phase III | n=682 | Both + GemCis 📊 OS: 14.9 vs 12.1 mo | HR 0.75 (p=0.0031) PFS: 8.4 vs 5.8 mo | HR 0.61 ORR: 53.8% vs 32.5% ✅ Significant OS benefit against an established immunotherapy standard. ⚠️ Safety appears manageable, but VEGF-related toxicity deserves scrutiny. China-only population and 14.3-month median follow-up warrant caution. The verdict: A compelling new first-line contender. Global practice change will require further validation and regulatory approval. Ref: Zhou J et al. HARMONi-GI1. ESMO 2026; LBA8. @myESMO @OncoAlert #ESMO26 #BTC #Ivonescimab #MVOnco

[Slide 1] RASolute 302 | ESMO 2026 | LBA82 ONE DRUG. MULTIPLE RAS MUTATIONS. NEARLY DOUBLE THE SURVIVAL. MV Onco DARAXONRASIB Oral RAS(ON) inhibitor [illustration: pancreas with tumour regions labelled] KRAS G12D KRAS G12V KRAS G12R RAS Q61 MEDIAN OVERALL SURVIVAL 13.2 months vs 6.7 months HR 0.40 Daraxonrasib vs chemotherapy PFS: 7.2 months vs 3.6 months | HR 0.49 Mutation subgroup findings are exploratory. 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.

2875O | KEYNOTE-975 Pembrolizumab or placebo plus concurrent definitive chemoradiotherapy in esophageal and gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer: The phase 3 randomized KEYNOTE-975 study Speaker: Manish A. Shah (New York, United States of America) Lecture Time 13:50 – 14:00 Background The role of immunotherapy in patients 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-controlled multicenter study that examines dCRT ± pembrolizumab (pembro) in patients with previously untreated locally advanced unresectable esophageal and GEJ cancer. We report results from the second interim analysis (IA2). Methods Eligible patients 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: Pembrolizumab 200 mg Q3W for 8 cycles then 400 mg Q6W for 5 cycles + dCRT vs Placebo + dCRT dCRT: site choice of 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 overall survival (OS) in patients with PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS) ≥10, CPS ≥1, and all patients. Data cut-off: January 21, 2026. Results A total of 703 patients were randomized (349 pembro + dCRT; 354 placebo + dCRT). Median follow-up: 47.1 months (range, 21.7–70.2) in all patients. Event-free survival (PD-L1 CPS ≥10) Median 15.2 vs 14.7 months; HR 0.97 (95% CI, 0.77–1.23) P = 0.3994 (boundary for significance 0.0193) → not improved with pembrolizumab. Overall survival (PD-L1 CPS ≥10) Median 32.2 vs 35.0 months; HR 1.00 (95% CI, 0.77–1.30) Nominal P = 0.5003. As EFS was not positive in PD-L1 CPS ≥10, EFS in PD-L1 CPS ≥1 and all patients, and OS were not tested for statistical significance, and the study was stopped. Safety Grade ≥3 AEs occurred in 100% of patients in each arm. Grade 5 AEs: 44 (13%) with pembro vs 37 (10%) with placebo. Discontinuation due to any AE: 117 (34%) with pembro vs 97 (27%) with placebo. Conclusions Pembrolizumab + dCRT vs placebo + dCRT did not significantly improve EFS in untreated unresectable esophageal or GEJ cancer with PD-L1 CPS ≥10. No new safety signals were observed.

🚨 HERIZON-GEA-01 | ESMO 2026 — A New HER2 Standard? Four slides. One important shift in first-line HER2+ gastroesophageal cancer. 🔹 Part 1: Why zanidatamab? Bispecific HER2 targeting and trial design. 🔹 Part 2: Three arms, three survival outcomes. OS HR 0.76 for Zani + CT and 0.65 for the triplet versus trastuzumab + CT. 🔹 Part 3: Longer treatment exposure, with no new safety signals reported. 🔹 Part 4: Who really needs PD-1 blockade? Added tislelizumab showed a numerical OS benefit, but missed statistical significance (P = 0.0502). Take-home: Zanidatamab strengthens the HER2 backbone. The incremental value of tislelizumab remains uncertain. 📖 Shitara K et al. N Engl J Med. 2026;394:2002–2014.

[Slide 3] HERIZON-GEA-01 | ESMO 2026 THE SAFETY & TREATMENT STORY PART 3/4 | EXPOSURE & TOLERABILITY MV Onco 1 HOW LONG WERE PATIENTS TREATED? MEDIAN TREATMENT DURATION Zani + TIS + CT | 46.6 weeks Zani + CT | 31.1 weeks Tras + CT | 30.0 weeks HER2 antibody exposure: 40.5 / 30.1 / 28.2 weeks, respectively. 2 SAFETY — A BALANCED VIEW LONGER EXPOSURE | ONGOING MONITORING ✓ No new safety signals reported ✓ Safety consistent with IA1 ✓ Prolonged treatment manageable Longer exposure ≠ proof of better tolerability. 3 THE PRACTICAL REGIMEN ZANIDATAMAB IV Q3W: < 70 kg → 1,800 mg; ≥ 70 kg → 2,400 mg TISLELIZUMAB IV Q3W: 200 mg CHEMOTHERAPY: CAPOX or 5-FU/cisplatin. Chemotherapy could be discontinued after ≥ 6 cycles. 4 TWO PRACTICAL PRECAUTIONS INFUSION REACTIONS Protocol-mandated prophylaxis. DIARRHOEA Protocol-mandated prophylaxis. 5 TAKE-HOME LONGER TREATMENT EXPOSURE, WITHOUT NEW REPORTED SAFETY SIGNALS. Updated detailed toxicity rates are needed for a fuller comparison. [Slide 4] HERIZON-GEA-01 | ESMO 2026 A NEW STANDARD — BUT FOR WHOM? PART 4/4 | CLINICAL PERSPECTIVE MV Onco 1 THE CLINICAL CROSSROADS WHO REALLY NEEDS PD-1 BLOCKADE? ZANI + CT | PD-L1 | ZANI + TIS + CT 2 CAN PD-L1 GUIDE US? Incremental effect of TIS: Triplet vs Zani + CT PD-L1 TAP | OS HR (95% CI) < 1% | 0.76 (0.52 – 1.10) ≥ 1% | 0.77 (0.58 – 1.02) BOTH CONFIDENCE INTERVALS CROSS 1. No validated PD-L1 cutoff to select added TIS. 3 WHAT HAS CHANGED IN PRACTICE? ESTABLISHED Zanidatamab + CT improves OS over trastuzumab + CT. PROMISING, NOT PROVEN Incremental OS benefit from adding tislelizumab. STILL UNRESOLVED Optimal selection for PD-1 blockade. 4 THE REAL-WORLD QUESTION Who truly needs TIS? | Can biomarkers guide treatment intensity? | How do toxicity, cost and access affect Indian practice? 5 TAKE-HOME ✓ ZANIDATAMAB ESTABLISHES A NEW HER2-DIRECTED BACKBONE. ✓ THE ADDED VALUE OF TISLELIZUMAB REMAINS UNCERTAIN. A stronger HER2 backbone. An unanswered immunotherapy question.

As #ESMO26 ends in Madrid, eight trials caught my attention from a radiation oncology perspective. From treatment intensification to organ preservation, positive and negative results give us plenty to discuss at our MDT meetings. My highlights below 👇 #RadOnc #SBRT https://t.co/IqszNOxeNe

[Slide 1] ESMO 2026 A radiation oncology perspective Selected trial highlights 01 DASL-HiCaP | Prostate Darolutamide + ADT + RT: 4-year MFS 95% vs 88% 02 PE-PE | Kidney Pembrolizumab + local therapy: median RFS 25.4 vs 11.0 months 03 MASTERPLAN | Pancreas SBRT: 12-month recurrence 20% vs 52%; median OS 22 vs 14 months 04 UNION | Rectum Combined treatment: 3-year EFS 91% vs 77% 05 SARON | Lung Improved local control and PFS; no demonstrated OS benefit 06 SANO | Oesophagus 5-year OS: 50% vs 54%; no statistically significant difference 07 KEYNOTE-975 | Oesophagus No significant EFS benefit from adding pembrolizumab 08 NRG-GY020 | Endometrium No significant RFS improvement with pembrolizumab Randomised trial results • Interpretation and patient selection matter [Slide 2] As ESMO - European Society for Medical Oncology 2026 comes to an end today in Madrid, I wanted to share an updated selection of studies that caught my attention from a radiation oncology perspective: DASL-HiCaP | Prostate cancer Adding darolutamide to ADT and radiotherapy improved 4-year metastasis-free survival from 88% to 95% (HR 0.42). Patients receiving postoperative radiotherapy were also included, although the benefit in this subgroup needs further clarification. Overall survival follow-up continues. PE-PE | Oligometastatic renal cell carcinoma Adding pembrolizumab to metastasis-directed therapy improved median relapse-free survival from 11.0 to 25.4 months (HR 0.47). Most patients received SABR. Promising phase II results, although overall survival data remain immature and side effects need to be considered. MASTERPLAN | Pancreatic cancer Adding SBRT (40 Gy in 5 fractions) to chemotherapy reduced 12-month locoregional recurrence from 52% to 20%. Median overall survival also favoured SBRT: 22 versus 14 months (HR 0.45). Encouraging phase II results, although the survival finding was a secondary endpoint and requires confirmation in a larger trial. UNION | Rectal cancer A strategy combining short-course radiotherapy, CAPOX and camrelizumab improved 3-year event-free survival: 91% versus 77% with long-course chemoradiotherapy and CAPOX. As both radiotherapy and systemic treatment differed between groups, the contribution of each component cannot be separated. [Slide 3] SARON | Oligometastatic NSCLC Consolidative radiotherapy improved local control and progression-free survival, without a demonstrated overall survival benefit. Patient selection remains essential. SANO | Oesophageal cancer After a complete clinical response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, 5-year overall survival was 50% with active surveillance versus 54% with surgery, with no statistically significant difference. However, distant metastases were more frequent with surveillance: 46% versus 29%. An option for carefully selected patients, with close follow-up. KEYNOTE-975 | Oesophageal cancer Adding pembrolizumab to definitive chemoradiotherapy did not improve the primary event-free survival endpoint in patients with PD-L1 CPS ≥10. NRG-GY020 | Endometrial cancer Adding pembrolizumab to adjuvant radiotherapy did not significantly improve recurrence-free survival in early-stage, high-intermediate-risk dMMR endometrial cancer, and side effects were more frequent.

🚨 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.

[Slide 1] SANO | ESMO 2026 | LBA78 Save the Oesophagus. But at what cost? MV Onco COMPLETE CLINICAL RESPONSE (cCR) [illustration: oesophagus branching to two strategies] ACTIVE SURVEILLANCE OESOPHAGECTOMY OESOPHAGUS PRESERVED 5-year OS: 50% 5-year OS: 54% [illustrations: liver, lungs, bone with metastases] Distant metastases: 46% Distant metastases: 29% SIMILAR SURVIVAL. +17% POINTS DISTANT METASTASES. 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?

WHAT IF THE CLOCK MATTERS? ⏰ RT–immunotherapy trials can produce strikingly different results. KEYNOTE-975 was negative but when is IO actually given relative to RT? Future RT–IO trials should not treat chronotherapy as an afterthought. Presented by @MDmanishshah #ESMO26 https://t.co/BSCCkCYxos

KEYNOTE-975 | 2026 SAME DRUG, DIFFERENT TIMING? Adding pembrolizumab to definitive chemoradiotherapy did not improve outcomes in unresectable esophageal and gastroesophageal junction cancer. Could the clock be part of the problem? We may be ignoring when we give immunotherapy. STUDY DESIGN Unresectable esophageal and gastroesophageal junction cancer | Phase 3 | KEYNOTE-975 | n ≈ 703 Patients: Unresectable esophageal and gastroesophageal junction cancer, n ≈ 703 Definitive chemoradiotherapy (standard of care) 50 or 60 Gy (chosen by centers, not randomized) ← R → Definitive chemoradiotherapy + pembrolizumab KEY RESULTS EFS (PD-L1 CPS ≥10): HR 0.97; Median 15.2 vs 14.7 months EFS (all patients): HR 0.94 OS (all patients): HR 1.00; Median 32.2 vs 35.0 months (Some reports listed OS as 0.99.) No clinically meaningful improvement in EFS or OS with the addition of pembrolizumab. WHY IT MATTERS? A negative result raises biology + timing questions. Concurrent RT–immunotherapy trials can produce heterogeneous results. Immunotherapy trial design should not ignore chronotherapy. How should immunotherapy timing be scheduled in patients receiving radiotherapy? EXPERT TAKEAWAY Not every negative study means the combination is worthless. It may mean the right patient, the right context, and the right timing are still unresolved. drozdogan.com Source: KEYNOTE-975 • ESMO 2026 (LBA)

[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.

Full SANO paper is out! (Ann Oncol, open access) What it adds: Death from esophageal cancer at 5y: 40% with active surveillance vs 30% with surgery (HR 1.67, 95% CI 1.02–2.73). Other-cause death: 10% vs 15% (HR 0.49, 0.22–1.09). These are competing-risk secondary outcomes. Of 91 metastases in the surveillance arm, 44 came after delayed oesophagectomy, a median 11.1 mo after regrowth (not after surgery). 22 were found within 6 mo of nCRT. Regrowth was associated with later metastasis (HR 2.49), but the trial can't separate seeding from biology. Regrowth risk comes early: ~21% remaining if still in cCR at 1 year, 2% at 3 years. The "43% spared esophagectomy" figure includes patients with early metastases. Durable organ preservation: 32% in cCR at last evaluation, and 21% completed 5 years of surveillance. The protocol does define volumes (§8.3.2): regional nodes within ≥3 cm craniocaudal, 3 mm radial CTV, 1 cm PTV. There's no RTQA or adherence analysis. Adjuvant systemic therapy isn't reported. The authors now call it "selectively delayed surgery rather than surgery avoidance." Fair. #ESMO26 #radonc @KrishanJethwa https://t.co/n5RpZK9zls

📊 HARMONi-GI1 - Phase 3 (Akeso release, ESMO LBA8) 🎯 First-line advanced biliary tract cancer, China 💊 Ivonescimab (PD-1/VEGF) + gem-cis vs durvalumab + gem-cis 👥 682 patients, interim analysis ✅ OS 14.9 vs 12.1 mo, HR 0.75 ✅ PFS 8.4 vs 5.8 mo, HR 0.61 📈 ORR 53.8% vs 32.5% 🩸 Grade ≥3 bleeding 1.5% vs 1.8% ⚠️ China only, interim analysis A head-to-head win over TOPAZ-1. The US ECOG-ACRIN trial will decide it for Western patients. Potential new SOC? Yes, but: ⚠️ This is an interim analysis with immature follow-up. Median follow-up was 14.3 months, and the 18-month OS difference rests on few patients still at risk. TOPAZ-1's benefit grew with longer follow-up (HR 0.80 → 0.76 → 0.74 → 0.75). Durability needs to be confirmed in both directions. ⚠️ Post-progression treatment was imbalanced. Only 31.8% of the ivonescimab arm received further therapy vs 45.9% of controls. This would normally dilute an OS benefit, so the HR may be conservative. However, the reasons for the gap (clinical decline, toxicity, how the denominator was defined) need to be in the full report. ⚠️ Subsequent therapy differs from US practice. In the US, second-line care for BTC increasingly involves targeted agents for FGFR2, IDH1, HER2, and others. Whether a China-only OS result carries over depends partly on that downstream care. FDA has stressed that subsequent therapies must match US practice when OS is the endpoint #BTC #Cholangiocarcinoma https://t.co/vnJvi5WVcR

Relevant ongoing first-line trials: • ARTEMIDE-Biliary02 (NCT07221253): phase 3 trial of rilvegostomig vs durvalumab, each with GemCis, as first-line treatment. Like HARMONi-GI1, it compares a novel agent against the durvalumab regimen. • NCT06467357: phase 3 trial of T-DXd plus rilvegostomig vs standard of care (GemCis + durvalumab) in HER2-expressing advanced BTC. • NCT06282575: phase 3 trial of zanidatamab added to standard of care (GemCis + pembrolizumab or durvalumab) in HER2-positive advanced BTC.

50 Gy completion was 97%; FOLFOX completion 70%; median durvalumab delivery 9 courses. Grade 3–5 treatment-related adverse events were ~75% in both arms, with no safety signal reported. In patients <65 years, 1-year OS was 90% vs 55.6% (p=0.07): exploratory and hypothesis-generating only. The presenter's open questions included large prophylactic nodal irradiation fields, optimal RT–IO timing (sequential vs concurrent), and patient selection and biomarkers beyond CPS. #ESMO26

Sone-Ve doubled median OS in 3L+ CLDN18.2-positive advanced GEC, although one dual primary endpoint was missed. At the European Society for Medical Oncology @myESMO Congress 2026, principal investigator Prof. Rui-Hua Xu of Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center @sysu_1924 presented results from the phase 3 CLARITY-Gastric01 trial (LBA7). ▪ Selected-dose ITT analysis: 532 patients ▪ 3L+ OS: 10.0 vs 5.0 months; HR 0.47 ▪ 2L+ ITT OS: 10.6 vs 6.4 months; HR 0.58 ▪ ITT BICR-PFS: 4.2 vs 3.8 months; P=0.053 ▪ Grade ≥3 TRAEs: 36.4% vs 44.8% The OS signal spanned high and lower CLDN18.2 expression, but the negative PFS endpoint is an important qualifier.

Objective Response Rate (BICR) — Primary end point Tovecimig + paclitaxel (n = 111) | 18.0% | 0.9% complete response | 17.1% partial response Paclitaxel alone (n = 57) | 5.3% | 0% complete response | 5.3% partial response P = .0228 Disease Control Rate (BICR) Tovecimig + paclitaxel (n = 111) | 62.2% Paclitaxel alone (n = 57) | 36.8% P = .0018 Progression-Free Survival (BICR) Tovecimig + paclitaxel (n = 111) | 4.7 months (95% CI, 3.9-5.6) Paclitaxel alone (n = 57) | 2.6 months (95% CI, 1.9-3.6) HR 0.44 (95% CI, 0.30-0.66) P < .0001 Overall Survival Tovecimig + paclitaxel (n = 111) | 8.9 months (95% CI, 7.0-11.2) Paclitaxel alone (n = 57) | 9.4 months (95% CI, 6.5-13.5) HR 1.05 (95% CI, 0.7-1.5) P = .779 OS analysis was confounded by crossover (31 patients [54%] in the paclitaxel arm received tovecimig). Study Design • Phase 2/3, randomized, open-label trial (NCT05506943) • Patients with advanced, metastatic, or unresectable biliary tract cancer previously treated with 1 gemcitabine- and platinum-containing regimen • Tovecimig 10 mg/kg (days 1 and 8) + paclitaxel 85 mg/m² (days 1, 8, and 15) vs paclitaxel alone • Primary end point: ORR by BICR Key Takeaways • Tovecimig plus paclitaxel significantly improved ORR, DCR, and PFS compared with paclitaxel alone in previously treated advanced biliary tract cancer. • No significant difference in OS was observed, likely influenced by high crossover from the paclitaxel arm (54%).

VOLGA Perioperative enfortumab vedotin + durvalumab improved 2-year EFS (64% vs 45%; HR 0.51) and OS (78% vs 69%; HR 0.58) in cisplatin-ineligible MIBC. Practice-changing potential; how much treatment is enough, and who truly needs adjuvant therapy? DeLLphi-305 Tarlatamab + durvalumab maintenance improved OS (21.1 vs 12.7 months; HR 0.42) and PFS (7.4 vs 1.9 months; HR 0.34) in ES-SCLC. Remarkable signal; should tarlatamab move into induction, and what explains the steeper late OS decline? Nuance still matters COMPANION-002 Strong PFS/ORR signal in previously treated BTC (PFS HR 0.44; ORR 18% vs 5.3%), but OS interpretation remains complicated by high crossover. CheckMate 8HW Dual checkpoint blockade strengthened the case in MSI-H/dMMR mCRC, but the 1L nivo/ipi vs nivo comparison remains nuanced. DASL-HiCaP Strong MFS benefit (4-year 95% vs 88%; HR 0.42), but OS remains immature and patient selection will matter. PRABITAS, BRAF/KRAS studies Practical gains and interesting signals, but sequencing, resistance, and the value of chemotherapy remain open questions. Big takeaway Positive data should be celebrated. Absolute benefit, toxicity, feasibility and sequencing still matter. PFS can be clinically meaningful — especially in diseases with limited options — but context determines how we use it. Unanswered questions are part of good oncology, not a weakness of the discussion.

Can statistical adjustments adequately account for crossover in this setting? What level of evidence is needed when PFS and ORR are clearly improved but OS is not demonstrated? 6/6 COMPANION-002 | KEY TAKEAWAYS Important Questions for the Oncology Community Demonstrated antitumor activity — Significant improvements in PFS and ORR. Unclear OS benefit — High crossover complicates interpretation. Patient-centered outcomes — Response durability, symptom improvement and quality of life are key considerations. Regulatory and clinical implications — How should we balance unmet need, meaningful PFS/ORR benefit and the lack of demonstrated OS advantage? #ESMO26

3 studies. 3 different strategies. Mixed results. BRICKET, ECLYPse & TRIDENTE explore overcoming resistance in BRAF V600E-mutant mCRC. Is targeted therapy beyond progression truly beneficial? Can ctDNA guide rechallenge? Small, nonrandomized trials raise important Qs. #ESMO26 https://t.co/qt6DZhHSfb

BRAF V600E mCRC: Rechallenge, Continuation or Intensified Inhibition? Key insights from three phase II studies at ESMO 2026 BACKGROUND After progression on BRAF/EGFR therapy, resistant subclones and pathway reactivation limit subsequent options. BEACON established encorafenib + cetuximab; BREAKWATER moved encorafenib + cetuximab + chemotherapy into first-line treatment. Can continued inhibition, rechallenge or ctDNA-guided selection recover disease control? BRICKET (787RO) ctDNA-guided BRAF-targeted retreatment RATIONALE Resistant genomic alterations may decline after targeted therapy withdrawal, allowing renewed sensitivity to encorafenib + cetuximab in a molecularly selected population. PHASE II DESIGN • Single-arm, phase II trial • Prior disease control on encorafenib + cetuximab (≥6 months) • Progressed on EC, one intervening EC-free line • ctDNA screening: BRAF V600E present and absence of KRAS/NRAS/MAP2K1 mutations or MET amplification • n = 16 treated • Primary endpoint: ORR KEY RESULTS • ORR: 0% (0/16) • Stable disease: 6/16 (37.5%) • Median PFS: 2.9 months (95% CI, 1.0 – NE) • Median OS: 9.1 months (95% CI, 4.0 – 13.0) • No new safety signals INTERPRETATION ctDNA-guided encorafenib + cetuximab retreatment did not show evidence of activity in this selected population. ECLYPse (788RO) Treatment beyond progression RATIONALE Resistant tumors remain heterogeneous, and some clones may remain sensitive to continued BRAF/EGFR inhibition. Adding chemotherapy may enhance and prolong disease control. PHASE II DESIGN • Multicenter, single-arm phase II trial • n = 25 patients • Disease progressed on second-line encorafenib + cetuximab • Continued encorafenib + cetuximab with addition of FOLFIRI • Primary endpoint: 6-month PFS rate KEY RESULTS • 6-month PFS rate: 69.5% (95% CI, 51.7 – 93.6) • Median PFS: 7.1 months (95% CI, 6.2 – NE) • Median OS: not reached (6- and 12-month OS rates: 94.1% and 83.7%) • No new safety signals INTERPRETATION Continuing encorafenib + cetuximab beyond progression with added chemotherapy showed a promising signal of disease control in this poor-prognosis population. TRIDENTE (789RO) BRAF/MEK/EGFR rechallenge RATIONALE Additional MEK inhibition may restore MAPK pathway suppression and overcome acquired resistance after progression on encorafenib + cetuximab. PHASE II DESIGN • Multicenter, single-arm phase II trial • n = 21 patients • Prior partial response and subsequent progression on encorafenib + cetuximab–based regimen • ≥4-month encorafenib-free interval • Encorafenib + binimetinib + cetuximab • Primary endpoint: ORR KEY RESULTS • ORR: 19.0% (4/21; all partial responses) • Stable disease: 12/21 (52.4%) • Median PFS: 2.8 months • Median OS: 9.6 months • In patients with baseline ctDNA: ORR 25.0% without genomic alterations vs 12.5% with alterations • No unexpected safety signals INTERPRETATION Rechallenge with encorafenib + binimetinib + cetuximab demonstrated modest activity and a manageable safety profile in selected patients who previously responded to encorafenib + cetuximab. THREE DIFFERENT STRATEGIES — NOT HEAD-TO-HEAD. Different selection criteria and endpoints prevent efficacy ranking. Future post-BREAKWATER sequencing needs randomized testing.

CHECKMATE 8HW (LBA32) Final Overall Survival in MSI-H/dMMR Metastatic Colorectal Cancer ESMO 2026 • Madrid Lower GI Colorectal Cancer STUDY OVERVIEW Phase III trial in MSI-H/dMMR metastatic colorectal cancer. Comparison: Nivolumab + ipilimumab vs nivolumab across all treatment lines, and first-line comparisons vs chemotherapy and nivolumab. Median follow-up 68.1 months (range 37.6–81.4) HEADLINE RESULTS – OVERALL SURVIVAL ALL TREATMENT LINES | FIRST LINE (1L) | FIRST LINE (1L) NIVO + IPI vs NIVO | NIVO + IPI vs CHEMO | NIVO + IPI vs NIVO OS HR 0.61 (95% CI 0.46–0.82) P = 0.0009 | OS HR 0.37 (95% CI 0.24–0.57) P < 0.0001 | OS HR 0.66 (95% CI 0.44–0.99) P = 0.0432 Significant, durable OS benefit | Strong first-line OS benefit | Nominally favorable, but not statistically significant per prespecified testing hierarchy DURABILITY, DISEASE CONTROL AND SAFETY Long-term follow-up showed sustained PFS and ORR benefit with NIVO + IPI vs NIVO and vs chemotherapy, with durable responses across treatment groups. No new safety signals or additional treatment-related deaths. Median (range) follow-up at final analysis: 68.1 (37.6–81.4) months. KEY TAKEAWAYS AND CLINICAL INTERPRETATION Dual checkpoint blockade improves long-term outcomes in MSI-H/dMMR mCRC. The all-lines OS result strengthens the role of NIVO + IPI. The 1L comparison versus nivolumab is encouraging but hierarchical statistical significance was not met. Key question: Does every patient need CTLA-4 intensification, or can some achieve durable benefit with PD-1 monotherapy alone?

About this page

What is on the ESMO 2026 GI Cancer slides page?

The 254 GI Cancer slide photos, abstract screenshots and data graphics plus 62 KOL-made infographics that oncologists, societies, media and companies posted on X from the ESMO 2026 embargo lift (October 22) through the congress in Madrid (October 23–27), compiled by KOL Pulse. Each card links to the original post and keeps the author's full text. It is one tumor-type page of the ESMO 2026 slide library: https://kolpulse.com/kol-pulse-esmo26-slides

Which GI Cancer trials are covered?

Trials with their own slide groups, by number of slide posts: HARMONi-GI1 (13), CLARITY-Gastric01 (12), AZUR-1 (12), SANO (10), INCB161734 (zecdarasib) + chemo (9), RASolute 302 (8), PRABITAS (7), G-HOPE-001 (7), IROCAS (7), ACTICCA-1 (7), MASTERPLAN (6), HERIZON-GEA-01 (6), AMPLIFY-7P (6), CheckMate 8HW (5), COMPANION-002 (5). Slides that compare several trials sit in a Cross-trial group, and slides not tied to a tracked trial come last. Physician posts come first in every group.

How do I filter by trial or KOL?

Use the trial chips in each section, the Trial menu (which also finds cross-trial slides that name that trial) and the KOL menu or the Built by avatars. Filters combine; counts only offer combinations that have results, and Clear filters or the Escape key resets. Every state has a shareable link, for example #tag=harmonigi1.

What are the OCR text and the source notes?

View OCR Text opens a verbatim transcription of the slide image; survival curves are captured as the printed numbers only, never read off the curve. Where it helps, a short context note gives the figures printed on the presented slide or abstract (for example, a different data cut or analysis). The author's caption is never edited.
