ESMO Live Update | Dr. Girard Analyzes PAPILLON: Opening New Doors for First-Line Treatment of EGFR Exon 20 Insertion Mutant Advanced NSCLC

Based on the results of the PAPILLON trial, presented at the 2023 ESMO Congress, a dual-specificity EGFR/MET monoclonal antibody has the potential to become a standard of care for EGFR exon 20 insertion mutant advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), although toxicity management must be approached with caution (Abstract LBA5). Dr. Nicolas Girard, the lead author of the study and a researcher at the Curie-Montsouris Thoracic Institute, discussed the implications of these findings for clinical practice in an interview with Oncology Insight conducted during the conference.

ASCO China Voice | Professor Wu Yilong Reports Phase III EVEREST Trial Results at ASCO

The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting was held in Chicago from June 2 to June 6, 2023. Oncology Insight delves into the forefront of the conference, inviting researchers to share the most prominent Chinese research at ASCO, witnessing the advancement of China's anti-tumor efforts on the international stage. Professor Wu Yilong from the People's Hospital of Guangdong Province presented the results of the Phase III EVEREST study at ASCO 2023 in the form of an oral presentation. This article provides specific details of the EVEREST study and invites Professor Wu Yilong to provide an interpretation.
ESMO 2023 | SKB264 (TROP2-ADC) Shows Promise in the Treatment of HR+/HER2- Metastatic Breast Cancer, Advancing in Multiple Cancer Types

ESMO 2023 | SKB264 (TROP2-ADC) Shows Promise in the Treatment of HR+/HER2- Metastatic Breast Cancer, Advancing in Multiple Cancer Types

TROP2 (Trophoblast Cell-Surface Antigen 2) is highly expressed in various solid tumors, making it a hot target in the field of oncology. The development of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) targeting this antigen has garnered significant attention. At the 2023 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress held in Madrid, Spain from October 20th to 24th, an innovative TROP2-ADC called SKB264 (MK-2870), jointly developed by CoromboTech and Merck, was presented in an oral report from a phase I/II basket trial for the treatment of advanced hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) metastatic breast cancer (mBC) (Abstract number: 380MO). The study results confirm that SKB264 exhibits manageable safety and significant anti-tumor activity in HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer patients. Professor Yongmei Yin presented the research and its key findings at the conference.

ESMO Big Shot Interview | pCR reaches 39.8%, short-course radiotherapy followed by cetuximab in combination with CAPOX brings significant benefits to locally advanced rectal cancer patients

The 2023 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Annual Meeting was held in Madrid, Spain, from October 20th to 24th. Professor Tao Zhang and Professor Kaixiong Tao  from Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology and their team conducted a randomized Phase III trial, the UNION study (Abstract Number: LBA25), entitled "Neoadjuvant Short-Course Radiotherapy Followed by Cetuximab in Combination with CAPOX vs. Long-Course Sequential Chemotherapy in the Treatment of Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer." The study was selected for presentation as a proffered paper at the ESMO conference. "Oncology Frontier" interviewed Professor Tao Zhang and Professor Kaixiong Tao , and they interpreted the UNION study from both internal medicine and surgery perspectives, sharing their insights and thoughts on perioperative treatment for rectal cancer.
