TroFuse-005/GOG-3095 (Lorusso, #ESMO26): Options after carbo/paclitaxel/ICI in recurrent endometrial cancer are limited and poor. Sac-TMT is the first TOP1 ADC to read out positive in phase 3: PFS HR 0.59 (7.2 vs 3.9 mo), ORR 35% vs 17%, plus an OS benefit. That is clinically meaningful and warrants use.
The tox is a concern. Stomatitis 57% (mostly low grade, needs prophylactic steroid mouthwash), ocular 31%, anemia 71%. Requires aggressive counseling and mitigation. Several other ADCs are in phase 3, and I hope they match this efficacy with better tolerability. Time will tell. @myESMO

LBA11 - Sacituzumab tirumotecan in previously treated advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer: Results from the phase 3 TroFuse-005/ENGOT-en23/GOG-3095 study
Speakers Domenica Lorusso (Pieve Emanuele, Italy)
Lecture Time 17:18 - 17:30
Abstract
Background
Trophoblast cell-surface antigen 2 (TROP2) is overexpressed in endometrial cancer, making it a promising target. Sacituzumab tirumotecan (sac-TMT) is a TROP2-directed antibody-drug conjugate with a unique, bifunctional linker that stabilizes the drug-to-antibody ratio (7.4) in circulation and maximizes payload delivery to tumor cells. TroFuse-005/ENGOT-en23/GOG-3095 (NCT06132958) evaluated sac-TMT in advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer after immunotherapy.
[Slide 2]
Methods
Eligible participants (pts) had endometrial carcinoma, including carcinosarcoma, measurable or non-measurable disease, and prior platinum and anti–PD-1/PD-L1 therapy, separately or in combination, with up to 3 total prior lines. Pts were randomized 1:1 to sac-TMT 4 mg/kg Q2W or treatment of physician's choice (TPC; doxorubicin 60 mg/m2 Q3W or paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 on days 1, 8, and 15 Q4W) until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Randomization was stratified by MMR status, TROP2 expression, prior lines of therapy, and baseline disease status. Dual primary endpoints were PFS by BICR and OS; ORR by BICR was the key secondary endpoint.
[Slide 3]
Results
776 pts were randomized to sac-TMT (n=386) or TPC (n=390). At data cutoff (March 23, 2026), median follow-up was 14.0 months. Statistically significant improvements in PFS (HR, 0.59 [95% CI, 0.50–0.70]; P<0.0001) and OS (HR, 0.68 [95% CI, 0.55–0.84]; P=0.0001) were observed with sac-TMT vs TPC; ORR was also significantly improved vs TPC (Table). Grade ≥3 TRAEs occurred in 54.4% of sac-TMT and 41.4% of TPC pts (Table), with anemia most common in both groups (20.8% vs 13.4%). Global health status/QoL was maintained over time in both groups.
Conclusions
Sac-TMT provided statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in PFS, OS, and ORR vs TPC in previously treated advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer with manageable safety, supporting it as a new treatment option for this population. Table: LBA11

Kaplan-Meier survival data: PFS by BICR: sacituzumab
I was waiting for this one. Everyone treating #endometrialcancer needs to see it: sac-TMT should become our second line after chemo-IO.
#TroFuse_005 sac-TMT, a TROP2 ADC, vs doxorubicin or weekly paclitaxel, 776 patients. OS 19.0 vs 12.1 mo , 32% lower risk of death. PFS 7.2 vs 3.9 mo, HR 0.59. Response rate 35% vs 17%.
For years, the patient progressing after chemo-IO left my clinic with doxorubicin or weekly paclitaxel and short control. This is the first ADC to improve survival in that setting.
What I need to see next: results by MMR status, and in carcinosarcoma. Watch out the mouth and eye toxicity from cycle 1. #gyncsm #ESMO26

LBA12 - KEYNOTE-C93/GOG-3064/ENGOT-en15: Phase 3, randomized, open-label study of first-line (1L) pembrolizumab (pembro) vs carboplatin (C) + paclitaxel (P) in mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR) advanced or recurrent endometrial carcinoma (a/rEC)
Speakers Brian M. Slomovitz (Miami Beach, United States of America)
Lecture Time 17:42 - 17:54
Abstract
Background
Preferred 1L therapy for dMMR a/rEC is CP + ICI then maintenance ICI. An unmet need exists for a CTx-free option in this setting. The phase 3 KEYNOTE-C93/GOG-3064/ENGOT-en15 study (NCT05173987) assessed 1L pembro vs CP for dMMR a/rEC.
[Slide 2]
Methods
Participants (pts) had inoperable, stage III/IV, a/rEC that was radiologically evaluable (measurable or non-measurable by investigator unless stage IVB then no evidence of disease was allowed following surgical resection) and centrally confirmed dMMR. Prior systemic therapy was not allowed (except for [neo]adjuvant therapy if recurrence ≥6 mo after last dose). Pts were randomized 1:1 to pembro Q6W for 18 cycles or CP Q3W for 6 cycles. Primary endpoints were PFS by BICR and OS. QoL was assessed by EORTC QLQ-C30 global health status (GHS)/QoL scale.

[Slide 4]
Results
299 pts were randomized (median follow-up, 36.5 mo). Efficacy results at the prespecified IA (data cutoff: Apr 24, 2026) are in the table. In the CP arm, 85.2% of pts with BICR PD received crossover pembro or subsequent PD-(L)1 inhibitors off study; in the pembro arm, 47.6% of pts with BICR PD received subsequent platinum CTx off study. Clinically meaningful improvement in GHS/QoL scale scores was observed from baseline to week 12 (primary time point) with pembro vs CP, with a between-group difference of 7.02 (95% CI, 2.54–11.50). Grade ≥3 treatment-related AEs occurred in 18.1% in the pembro arm and 50.7% in the CP arm, with the most common being anemia (2.0% vs 18.1%). Grade ≥3 immune-mediated AEs and infusion reactions occurred in 7.4% and 3.5%, respectively.
Conclusions
1L pembro showed a statistically significant, clinically meaningful, and durable improvement in PFS and a favorable trend in OS over traditional CTx in pts with dMMR a/rEC. There were no new safety signals in either arm. Single agent pembro can be an option for this patient population.

4/ In the MoRez trial, 96% of the tumors were B7-H4 + and responses occurred at every expression level. Correlative work suggests Cathepsin B, TOP1 expression and matrix remodeling all associated with response. https://t.co/cwJWw8ydje
1 96% of tumours were B7-H4+ and Mo-Rez responses were seen across B7-H4 expression levels
2 Cathepsin B (CTSB), which cleaves the linker, was elevated in responders
3 TOP1 expression, involved in payload sensitivity, tended to be higher in responders
4 Matrix remodelling, which enables ADC penetration into the tumour, and immune-related pathways were associated with response
Legend: Mo-Rez; Linker-payload; B7-H4; Immune cell
Mechanism of action: BEHOLD-1: Genes linked to ADC MoA elevated in Mo-Rez
Puzzling to see cathepsin B (CTSB) enrichment in Mo-Rez responders, given that the GGFG linker is a substrate of cathepsin L, not B.
CTSL should have been included at a minimum.

Conclusions
• DUO-E met its dual primary PFS endpoints, leading to regulatory approvals for CP + durvalumab followed by durvalumab and CP + durvalumab followed by durvalumab + olaparib for advanced/recurrent EC
• At this second interim OS analysis, statistical significance was not met, however:
– OS was favourable with CP+D vs CP in the ITT and dMMR populations
– There were clinically meaningful mOS improvements with CP+D+O vs CP of 11.5 and 8.0 months in the ITT and pMMR populations, respectively, and a favourable OS trend in the dMMR subpopulation
• Consistent benefits in TFST, TSST and TDT were observed in the ITT population with both treatment arms vs control
• Safety across treatment arms continues to be generally consistent with the known profiles of each individual agent, with no new safety signals identified since DCO1
• OS will be formally retested at the final analysis
Favourable DUO-E interim OS results and post-progression endpoints further support CP + durvalumab followed by durvalumab or durvalumab + olaparib as treatments for advanced/recurrent endometrial cancer

Where does more treatment earn its place?
Three verdicts — and what each means for standard of care (SOC)
TRIAL / SETTING | VERDICT | WHAT THE DATA SHOW | STANDARD-OF-CARE IMPLICATION
GY020 (Stage I–II HIR dMMR, RT backbone) | Not earned | 3-y recurrence-free 73% vs 77%, P=.306. 21% stopped pembrolizumab for toxicity. OS immature; both curves superimpose at >90% at 5y. RT alone remains the standard. | RT alone remains adjuvant SOC for stage I–II HIR dMMR endometrioid EC. Pembrolizumab: no role
B21 (Resected high-risk dMMR, Chemo ± RT backbone) | Earned — still descriptive | 3-y DSFS 95% vs 80%, HR 0.25, after DFS alpha was spent. Updated DFS and OS still needed. | Strengthens chemo + pembrolizumab ± RT for completely resected HR dMMR EC. ctDNA should not yet guide selection, de-escalation or intensification as SOC
DUO-E (Advanced / recurrent, Chemo-IO backbone) | Durvalumab: supported in dMMR; Olaparib: unresolved | dMMR OS HR 0.57 with durvalumab; pMMR 0.95. Olaparib's increment HR 0.87 (0.89 pMMR), CI spans 1, at ~50% grade ≥3 maintenance toxicity. | dMMR: chemo + durvalumab → durvalumab remains the standard. pMMR: adding olaparib is an approved EU option on PFS; await biomarker and final OS

Slide: FONTANA — Conclusions: Torvu-Sam monotherapy in patients
Another outstanding presentation by Dr Meric-Bernstam about the Fontana trial. This drug showed clinical activity regardless FRalpha expression. Second AdC targeting FRañpha in #ESMO2026 https://t.co/P38Ik7y1JL
Conclusions: Torvu-Sam monotherapy in patients with PROC
• Safety data from FONTANA are consistent with a TOP1i-ADC, showing a manageable safety profile of Torvu-Sam across 1.6, 2.0, and 2.4 mg/kg dose levels.
• Torvu-Sam demonstrated clinically meaningful and durable efficacy across FRα expression subgroups.
• ORR was robust, with deep molecular responses by ctDNA observed.
• DoR and PFS results showed sustained efficacy in both FRα-high and -low expressing tumours.
These encouraging FONTANA data supported the design of three Phase 3 OC studies:
• TREVI-OC-01 (NCT07218809): Torvu-Sam versus mirvetuximab soravtansine in FRα-high and Torvu-Sam versus chemotherapy in FRα-low PROC.
TREVI-OC-02 (NCT07851025): Torvu-Sam plus bevacizumab as 1L maintenance in HRD-negative epithelial OC.
TREVI-OC-03 (NCT07816666): Torvu-Sam with or without bevacizumab as maintenance therapy in PROC.

🔬 Four important discussions from the final Presidential Sessions at #ESMO26!
💊 KEYNOTE-C93: Pembrolizumab monotherapy improved PFS in dMMR advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer, although the prespecified non-inferiority criterion was not met. An important step toward chemotherapy-free treatment.
🎯 Sacituzumab tirumotecan (sac-TMT): Impressive results in previously treated endometrial cancer, with improved PFS (7.2 vs 3.9 months) and OS (19.0 vs 12.1 months). ADCs are clearly changing the landscape!
🧬 MOIO trial: Can we safely extend immunotherapy intervals to every 3 months? The trial stopped early, leaving the question statistically unresolved and highlighting the challenges of treatment de-escalation.
📊 Non-inferiority: Who decides how much efficacy we can afford to lose? A great reminder that statistical margins must also reflect clinical judgment and patient preferences.
Four discussions that could shape how we design trials and treat patients in the coming years. 💚

Summary and Conclusions
• Sac-TMT is the first ADC to show statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in the dual primary endpoints of PFS and OS and the key secondary endpoint of ORR vs TPC in previously treated advanced endometrial cancer
• At the pre-specified interim analysis (final formal analysis):
• mPFS: 7.2 vs 3.9 months (HR 0.59 [95% CI, 0.50–0.70]; P <0.0001; Δ +3.3 months)
• mOS: 19.0 vs 12.1 months (HR 0.68 [95% CI, 0.55–0.84]; P=0.0001; Δ +6.9 months)
• ORR: 35.1% vs 17.3% (P <0.00001; Δ +17.8 percentage points [95% CI, 11.6–23.9])
• mDOR: 11.1 vs 6.9 months (Δ +4.2 months)
• Efficacy with sac-TMT was observed across most pre-specified subgroups
• Sac-TMT AEs were mostly low grade and manageable with supportive care and dose modifications, with low discontinuation rates
• Stomatitis incidence and severity decreased following mitigations, including mouthwash prophylaxis
• HRQoL was maintained over time with sac-TMT
These findings support sac-TMT as a new standard of care for patients with endometrial cancer who have received platinum-based chemotherapy and immunotherapy and have limited effective treatment options
[Slide 3]
Conclusions
• In KEYNOTE-C93, first-line pembrolizumab showed a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in PFS and favorable quality-of-life benefit in participants with dMMR advanced or recurrent EC; HR for OS numerically favored pembrolizumab despite substantial use of subsequent ICI therapy in the carbo + pac group, but the prespecified significance criterion was not met
– PFS: HR, 0.57 (95% CI, 0.42–0.79); P = 0.0002
– OS: HR, 0.77 (95% CI, 0.52–1.15); P = 0.1000
– ORR: 64.1% with pembrolizumab vs 62.1% with carbo + pac
– DOR: median NR with pembrolizumab vs 10.2 months with carbo + pac
• The PFS KM curves crossed at ~6 months, reflecting early disease control with carbo + pac vs long-term durable disease control with pembrolizumab
• The CR rate was higher and DOR was substantially longer with pembrolizumab vs carbo + pac
• The safety profile was consistent with those of each drug, with no new safety signals
• Limitation: study did not evaluate against current standard of care (CT + IO)
These data suggest pembrolizumab monotherapy can be a clinically relevant, chemotherapy-free, first-line treatment option that may broaden treatment choice beyond CT + IO for certain patients with dMMR advanced or recurrent EC

Endometrial Cancer Enters the ADC Era
The Present
TroFuse-005 validates the clinical activity of a Trop2 targeting Topo1i ADC in advanced endometrial cancer.
The Future
Target expression overlap and correlation with ADC activity are critical questions to guide future ADC selection.
Side effect and safety profiles will shape patient and clinician preferences for ADCs, especially when efficacy is similar.
Cross-resistance, timing, sequencing, and development of differentiated payloads remain important challenges in the ADC space.

Response data: Efficacy of elfe-D plus pumitamig
PD(L)1-VEGF bispecifics are already beating PD1 inhibition alone in trials, so what's next?
This trial (BioNTech, DualityBio, BMS) adds a new B7-H3 ADC to a PDL1-VEGF bispecific, with potential synergy:
1) VEGF blockade: normalizes tumor vasculature, improves ADC delivery and T cell infiltration.
2) B7-H3 ADC: kills cancer cells, triggers immunogenic inflammation.
3) PDL1 blockade: releases immune suppression, allows T cells to exploit immune response induced by ADC.
Confirmed ORR up to 71% -- in immune-cold platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.
The broader, ongoing phase 2 includes colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer and other tumor types.

Great session on the multidisciplinary management of uterine #sarcoma #ESMO26
Unfortunately, the “typical” presentation of a case is still an unexpected diagnosis after histerectomy for presumed fibroids.
Key take-home: refer patients early (pre-op ideally) for a center with experience in both sarcoma and Gyn malignancies; avoid morcellation at all cost; discuss with MTB since level of evidence across the care continuum is very low.

7 Survival & Conclusions
Overall survival by frailty status
Classified in 29/102 patients (exploratory). Adjusted HR by age 4.58 (1.47–14.30); log-rank p<0.001.
Robust or prefrail | Frail
Months from diagnosis
Overall survival by cytoreductive surgery
Kaplan-Meier, adjusted HR vs no surgery (age, ECOG, FIGO IV, stage I–II, comorbidity): primary 0.27 (0.07–0.75); interval 0.36 (0.17–0.75) — not causal effect estimates (see poster text).
Primary surgery | Interval surgery | No cytoreductive surgery
Months from diagnosis
Age drove treatment decisions, not outcomes: adapted chemotherapy rose sharply from age 80 (adjusted OR 7.37, 95% CI 2.20–27.55), yet age was not significantly associated with severe toxicity (aOR 0.91, 0.55–1.48) or survival.
Frailty told the opposite story: it predicted survival strongly (HR 4.58, 95% CI 1.47–14.30) but was classified in only 29 of 102 patients (28.4%). Age was always available; a more informative frailty assessment rarely was. Geriatric assessment should guide decisions age alone cannot.
SURVIVAL 53 deaths; median follow-up 45.8 months. Surgery: adjusted HR 0.25; selection bias cannot be excluded.
FUNCTIONAL STATUS HR 1.94. ECOG ≥2 associated with worse survival.
TOXICITY 14/36 vs 0/17. Grade ≥3 haematological: PARPi vs bevacizumab-only (p = 0.002).
MOLECULAR PROFILE 36/67 vs 0/35. PARPi use by any testing status (tested vs untested; p < 0.0001).

We move now to PSOC and the data of Sofe-M a FRalpha with an outstanding 79.3% Orr with Sofi-M plus bev!!! And almost 77% ORR in patients progressing while or on 6 months on PARPi !! #ESMO2026 https://t.co/FxTKLkrCMM
Background
- The standard of care for PSOC has remained unchanged for over a decade, but the patient characteristics have evolved
- HRD-positive patients achieve longer progression-free survival with upfront platinum chemotherapy + PARPi(1), but those who do recur demonstrate modest response rates to subsequent platinum-based therapy after PARPi maintenance (ORR= ~41.2%)(2)
- Those patients with tumors that are non-HRD positive have minimal benefit to PARPi(3) and overall have poorer prognosis
- Despite differential outcomes for HRD vs non-HRD positive patients, PSOC treatment algorithms remain unchanged
- Given that FRα is highly expressed in high-grade serous ovarian cancer(4), and FRα-directed ADCs have demonstrated clinically meaningful monotherapy activity(5), there is the potential to redefine the PSOC treatment paradigm and address a clinically significant unmet need

DOVACC conclusions
• In BRCAwt ROC, adding UV1 to PARPi (± durva) maintenance did not significantly improve PFS at the 2-sided 0.05 level
• Compared with ola alone, Arms B and C were associated with increased toxicity; only vaccine complications, headache and flu-like symptoms were increased by adding UV1 to durva + ola
• Although negative for the primary endpoint, subgroup analyses from DOVACC suggest a signal of effect in Arm C in the HRD– and PARPi-naïve subgroups
– These results warrant further evaluation of cancer vaccines in ovarian cancer
• Translational research is planned using the large collection of tissue and blood samples from patients with BRCAwt platinum-sensitive ROC treated in the academic DOVACC study
– Additional treatment outcome measures, resistance mechanisms and patient selection will be investigated

Anaplastic transformation in differentiated thyroid cancer: a national retrospective analysis from the French ENDOCAN-TUTHYREF network
MADRID SPAIN 23-27 OCTOBER 2026
AIM
The aim of this study was to characterize patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) who subsequently underwent anaplastic transformation and to assess their clinical outcomes using data from the French national ENDOCAN-TUTHYREF network.
METHODS
This retrospective multicenter study used data from the French TUTHYREF database, a national clinico-biological registry dedicated to refractory thyroid cancers. Eligible patients had:
> an initial diagnosis of differentiated or poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma at ≥18 years of age; and
> subsequent histologically confirmed anaplastic transformation between 2010 and 2025.
Demographic, clinical, pathological, molecular, treatment, and outcome data were collected. Overall survival (OS), defined as the time from anaplastic transformation to death from any cause or last follow-up, was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
RESULTS
The study population comprised 69 patients, including 38 women (55%), with a median age of 72 years (range, 43-88) at the time of ATC transformation. The initial thyroid carcinoma was papillary in 51 patients (74%), follicular in 13 (19%), poorly differentiated in 3 (4%), oncocytic in 1 (1.5%), and unknown in 1 (1.5%). [remainder of Results column partly obscured/illegible]
Molecular profiling data were available for 55 patients. The most frequent driver alteration was BRAF V600E (Fig. 2).
Following transformation, 21 patients (30%) received cervical external beam radiotherapy, 37 (54%) received chemotherapy (doxorubicin-based in 15 and paclitaxel-based in 20), 32 (46%) received kinase inhibitors, dabrafenib plus trametinib in 24 (35%), and 12 (17%) received immune checkpoint inhibitors.
After a median follow-up of 31 months, the median overall survival (OS) from anaplastic transformation was 5.3 months (95% CI, 3.4-7.8) (Fig.3). Male sex (HR 1.77, 95% CI 1.01-3.11) and an NLR ≥ 5 (HR 2.66, 95% CI 1.36-5.21) were associated with worse OS.
Fig.3 Overall survival from anaplastic transformation
CONCLUSION
In this large national real-world cohort, anaplastic transformation was associated with extremely poor outcomes. This study provides one of the largest contemporary descriptions of patients experiencing DTC-to-ATC transformation. The increasing number of documented cases over time may reflect more frequent use of biopsy and pathological confirmation, leading to improved recognition of this rare event.

Background
• EC is one of the most common gynecologic malignancies globally, with an estimated 434,620 women diagnosed in 2024
– Prognosis in patients with advanced/recurrent EC is typically poor
– However, the 5-year OS rate in recurrent/advanced EC is ≈20%, with long-term outcomes worse for those with pMMR disease, who represent 70% to 80% of the patient population
• Tivunatamig (PF-08634404) is a novel and structurally distinct PD-1/VEGF bispecific engineered with augmented VEGF inhibition and enhanced cooperative binding with PD-1 to enable robust immune activation in the tumor microenvironment (Figure 1)
• When combined with chemotherapy, tivunatamig has shown promising antitumor activity and manageable safety in phase 2 NSCLC and CRC studies
• Encouraging efficacy and manageable safety have also been observed in a phase 2 study involving patients with advanced/recurrent EC treated with tivunatamig (5 or 10 mg/kg) plus chemotherapy, irrespective of MMR status
– The disease control rate was 100% in both the 5- and 10 mg/kg groups; the confirmed ORR was 90.9% in the 10 mg/kg group with pMMR tumors
– Based on these data, the 10 mg/kg dose was selected for this study involving patients with advanced/recurrent EC

Olaparib → PARP inhibition
Can dual maintenance improve disease control?
TRIAL DESIGN
718 patients | Advanced/recurrent EC
dMMR + pMMR | Randomised 1:1:1
ARM 1 Control (n = 241) | Chemotherapy phase: CP x 6 | Maintenance phase: Placebo
ARM 2 Durvalumab (n = 238) | CP x 6 + Durvalumab | Durvalumab (continued)
ARM 3 Durvalumab + Olaparib (n = 239) | CP x 6 + Durvalumab | Durvalumab + Olaparib (maintenance only)
CP = Carboplatin + Paclitaxel | Olaparib starts only during maintenance.
PFS BENEFIT WITH BOTH EXPERIMENTAL ARMS!
(Previously reported PFS findings)
Control → 9.6 months
Durvalumab → 10.2 months | HR 0.71
Durvalumab + Olaparib → 15.1 months | HR 0.55
HRs versus chemotherapy control.
TAKE-HOME
• PFS improved with both strategies.
• But what about overall survival?

DOES OLAPARIB REALLY ADD VALUE?
PART 3/3 | CLINICAL VERDICT
1 WHAT DOES OLAPARIB ADD?
ADDING OLAPARIB TO DURVALUMAB
DURVALUMAB + OLAPARIB | Median PFS: 15.1 months
vs
DURVALUMAB ALONE | Median PFS: 10.2 months
HR 0.78 | Exploratory direct comparison.
Incremental OS benefit NOT established.
Do not confuse a PFS signal with proven OS benefit.
2 THE SAFETY TRADE-OFF
BETTER PFS | MORE TOXICITY
| DURVA | DURVA + OLAPARIB
Grade >=3 AEs | 58.3% | 69.7%
Grade >=3 anemia | 16.2% | 24.8%
Treatment discontinuation due to AEs | 23.4% | 29.0%
One MDS/AML case reported with the combination.
3 WHO REALLY NEEDS OLAPARIB?
dMMR
- Immunotherapy benefit is strong.
- Additional olaparib benefit remains uncertain.
pMMR
- Incremental PFS signal with olaparib.
- OS benefit remains unproven.
4 THE CLINICAL VERDICT
PFS BENEFIT - YES.
ADDITIONAL TOXICITY - YES.
INCREMENTAL OS BENEFIT - UNPROVEN.
Final OS analysis awaited.
5 TAKE-HOME
OLAPARIB ADDS PFS - BUT AT A COST.
Choose carefully. OS certainty is still missing.

@myESMO 1st Gyn Session is here! Let's start with cervical cancer.
Tisotumab vedotin set the bar in innovaTV 301 (cORR 17.8%, mPFS 4.2 mo, OS HR 0.70). At ESMO, JSKN033, a subQ co-formulation of a biparatopic HER2 ADC + PD-L1 inhibitor, in pretreated cervical cancer (75% prior IO). At RP2D 8.4 mg/kg: ORR 52.9%, DCR 94%, mPFS 8.2 mo. ORR 56% in HER2 IHC 0 and 48% after prior IO.
SHR-A2102, a nectin-4 ADC (topo-I payload), after platinum (78% prior IO, ≤2 lines). At 6 mg/kg: cORR 47.2%, DCR 89%, mPFS 7.0 mo, mDoR 7.1 mo. G≥3 TRAEs 53% (mostly heme), no discontinuations. Phase 3 underway. #gyncsm#gyncsm
Two nectin-4 ADCs now in cervix. CRB-701 (MMAE, ASCO 2026): cORR 34%, keratitis the main issue. SHR-A2102 (topo-I, ESMO 2026): cORR 47% at 6 mg/kg, myelosuppression the main issue. Populations differ (median 3 prior lines vs ≤2), so we need randomized data.

🧬 REJOICE-Ovarian02 at ESMO 2026: 80% Response Rate With Raludotatug Deruxtecan Plus Bevacizumab
Could combining a cadherin-6-targeted antibody–drug conjugate with bevacizumab improve treatment outcomes in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer?
At ESMO Congress 2026, Ana Oaknin presented results from the phase Ib/II REJOICE-Ovarian02 trial, evaluating raludotatug deruxtecan (R-DXd) plus bevacizumab in patients with recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.
🔬 Key Findings:
🔹 Confirmed ORR: 80% (8/10) at 4.8 mg/kg and 53% (8/15) at 5.6 mg/kg.
🔹 Complete response: One patient achieved a complete response at 4.8 mg/kg.
🔹 Disease control: All 30 patients achieved disease control and experienced tumor shrinkage.
🔹 Treatment continuation: 25 of 30 patients remained on treatment at the data cutoff.
🔹 Safety: Grade ≥3 adverse events occurred in 0% and 45% of patients at the respective dose levels. One fatal interstitial lung disease event was reported at 5.6 mg/kg.
Clinical Takeaway: R-DXd plus bevacizumab demonstrated encouraging preliminary antitumor activity, particularly at the lower dose. However, the small cohorts, short follow-up, and serious ILD risk highlight the need for further evaluation.

🧬 DENALI Trial at ESMO 2026: Azenosertib Shows 15.8-Month Overall Survival in Cyclin E1-Positive Ovarian Cancer
Could Cyclin E1 expression help identify patients who benefit from WEE1 inhibition in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer?
At ESMO Congress 2026, Fiona Simpkins presented interim overall survival findings from Part 1b of the phase II DENALI trial (GOG-3066), evaluating azenosertib, an investigational oral WEE1 inhibitor, in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.
🔬 Key Findings:
🔹 Cyclin E1-positive patients: Median OS of 15.8 months (n=48).
🔹 Cyclin E1-negative patients: Median OS of 7.5 months (n=46).
🔹 Overall population: Median OS of 12.3 months (n=102).
🔹 Previously reported efficacy: Approximately 35% objective response rate in response-evaluable patients with Cyclin E1-positive tumors, with a median duration of response of 6.3 months.
🔹 Safety: No new safety signals were identified.
Clinical Takeaway: The survival findings suggest that Cyclin E1 expression may help identify patients more likely to benefit from azenosertib. However, the single-arm study design and retrospective biomarker assessment mean its predictive value remains unconfirmed.
Further evaluation is ongoing in DENALI Part 2 and the phase III ASPENOVA study.

FAQ
About this page
What is on the ESMO 2026 Gyn Cancer slides page?
The 35 Gyn Cancer slide photos, abstract screenshots and data graphics plus 25 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 Gyn Cancer trials are covered?
Trials with their own slide groups, by number of slide posts: TroFuse-005 (8), KEYNOTE-C93 (4), BEHOLD-1 → BEHOLD-Ovarian01 (3), DUO-E (2), INCB123667 (2), NRG-GY020 (1), REJOICE-Ovarian02 (1), Torvutatug samrotecan (AZD5335) (1), DENALI (GOG-3066) (1), BEATcc (1). 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=trofuse005.
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.
Where are the other tumor types and the pre-congress archive?
