Establishing a Short-term Response Endpoint for mCRPC Trials
After looking at 8 short-term endpoints based on PSA and CTCs, absence of tumor cells at week 13 was considered the best predictor of overall survival.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
Dual HER2 Blockade Superior in HER2+ HR+ Breast Cancer
When combined with an aromatase inhibitor, dual HER2 blockade shows superior PFS compared with lapatinib or trastuzumab alone in some women with breast cancer.
MARIANNE Update: T-DM1 Does Not Significantly Improve Survival in HER2+ Breast Cancer
The antibody drug conjugate, T-DM1, when used alone or in combination with pertuzumab, did not significantly improve overall survival compared with trastuzumab and a taxane.
TREnd: Adding Palbociclib to Endocrine Therapy Provides Clinical Benefits in Breast Cancer
Evidence suggests that combining palbociclib with endocrine therapy can reverse acquired resistance to endocrine therapy in breast cancer.
Electronic Patient-reported Outcome System Improves Survival Among Patients With Cancer
A study showed that symptom monitoring by integrating electronic patient-reported outcomes into clinical practice vs usual care extended OS by more than 5 months.
PALOMA-1 Update: Survival With Palbociclib Not Significantly Improved in ER+/HER2- Breast Cancer
Data from PALOMA-1/TRIO-18 showed that combining palbociclib and letrozole did not significantly improve survival compared with letrozole alone among patients with breast cancer.
Abemaciclib Plus Fulvestrant Is Effective Therapy in Endocrine-resistant Breast Cancer
Patients with breast cancer who progress on endocrine therapy and are then treated with abemaciclib and fulvestrant have a 45% decreased risk for progression.
Vemurafenib Active in BRAFV600-mutant NSCLC
Vemurafenib improves outcomes among patients with non-small cell lung cancer with a BRAFV600 mutation.
Aldoxorubicin Improves Outcomes in Relapsed/Refractory Sarcoma
Aldoxorubicin significantly prolongs PFS and provides better objective response rates than investigators’ choice of treatment or standard of care in the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma.
