Enasidenib for Patients with Clonal Cytopenias of Undetermined Significance

Enasidenib for Patients with Clonal Cytopenias of Undetermined Significance Summary Individuals with cytopenia (low blood cell counts) and clonal hematopoiesis (hee-MA-toh-poy-EE-sis), who do not meet the criteria for a hematologic malignancy, have an entity called clonal cytopenias of undetermined significance (CCUS). These patients have an 82% and 95% chance at 5 years and 10 years, […]

PEMIGIST: Phase II Study of Pemigatinib in SDH-deficient GIST

PEMIGIST: Phase II Study of Pemigatinib in SDH-deficient GIST Summary Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are a group of rare cancers, with an incidence of 4,000 to 6,000 new cases per year in the United States. Approximately 10-15% of adult GISTs and the majority of pediatric GISTs are driven by the loss of the SDH protein […]

Serial Response and Biomarker-Guided Steroid Taper for Children with GVHD

Serial Response and Biomarker-Guided Steroid Taper for Children with GVHD Summary: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplants (stem cell transplant from a donor) [HSCT] are an important treatment for high-risk hematologic (blood) malignancies. However, these transplants can result in graft versus host disease (GVHD) which targets the skin, liver, and GI tract. This occurs in about […]

Omission of Surgery after Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Breast Cancer

Omission of Surgery after Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Breast Cancer Summary: There is a potential for a paradigm shift in the way some early-stage breast cancer patients are treated. Currently, every breast cancer patient undergoing curative intent treatment requires surgery. However, for patients that achieved a complete response to pre-operative chemotherapy it may not be necessary. […]

A Phase II Multi-Center Open-Label Randomized Study of Capecitabine in Combination with Elacestrant versus Capecitabine Alone in Advanced Estrogen Receptor Positive Breast Cancer (CapEla)

A Phase II Multi-Center Open-Label Randomized Study of Capecitabine in Combination with Elacestrant versus Capecitabine Alone in Advanced Estrogen Receptor Positive Breast Cancer (CapEla) Summary: Endocrine therapy and targeted therapy such as CDK4/6 inhibitors and other inhibitors targeting the PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway are highly effective in metastatic hormone receptor positive (HR+) breast cancer. However, nearly all […]

NANT2101 STING (Sequential Temozolomide, Irinotecan, NK cells, and GD2 mAb)

NANT2101 STING (Sequential Temozolomide, Irinotecan, NK cells, and GD2 mAb) Summary: Neuroblastoma is the most common cancer diagnosed in infants. The average age of children when they are diagnosed is about 1 to 2 years and about 90% of cases are diagnosed by age 5. Historically treatment for patients with relapsed/refractory high-risk neuroblastoma was limited […]

PREDICT-RD: Postoperative Molecular Residual Disease by ctDNA Surveillance in TNBC with Residual Disease

PREDICT-RD: Postoperative Molecular Residual Disease by ctDNA Surveillance in TNBC with Residual Disease Summary: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) accounts for approximately 15-20% of new breast cancer cases and has been associated with poor clinical outcomes. Recently, neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy has been established as the standard of care in patients with stage II/III TNBC and substantially improved […]

Phase II study of All-trans retinoic acid and Cemiplimab in Leiomyosarcoma

Phase II study of All-trans retinoic acid and Cemiplimab in Leiomyosarcoma Summary: Soft-tissue sarcomas encompass a group of rare malignant tumors and account for less than 1% of all adult malignancies in the United States. There are an estimated 13,130 new cases per year and approximately 5,350 deaths. While there are over 100 subtypes, leiomyosarcoma […]

The ARCHER trial (Ablation and Resection for the Consolidation of Oligometastatic HER2+ Breast Cancer)

The ARCHER trial (Ablation and Resection for the Consolidation of Oligometastatic HER2+ Breast Cancer) Summary: In recent years, several highly effective targeted agents have emerged for HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer, converting a breast cancer subtype that historically had the worst outcomes to the most favorable in the context of targeted agents. Recent trials have demonstrated […]

A Phase II Trial of Pembrolizumab + GVD with ctDNA-guided Consolidation in Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Classic Hodgkin Lymphoma

A Phase II Trial of Pembrolizumab + GVD with ctDNA-guided Consolidation in Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Classic Hodgkin Lymphoma Summary: The current standard of care for relapsed or refractory classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) is salvage chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT), resulting in a cure for over 60% of patients. While ASCT is an […]
