ASCO GI 2025 | Dr. Rongbo Lin: SYLT-026 Study Marks a Breakthrough in Immunotherapy for MSS-Type Colorectal Cancer

ASCO GI 2025 | Dr. Rongbo Lin: SYLT-026 Study Marks a Breakthrough in Immunotherapy for MSS-Type Colorectal Cancer

Microsatellite stable (MSS) and mismatch repair-proficient (pMMR) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) has shown minimal response to immune checkpoint inhibitors as monotherapy, making combination immunotherapy a key strategy to address this clinical challenge. At the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium (ASCO GI 2025), a multicenter phase II study led by Dr. Rongbo Lin from Fujian Cancer Hospital was selected for the poster abstract session (Abstract #198). This study evaluates the preliminary efficacy and safety of FOLFOXIRI combined with bevacizumab and cadonilimab in pMMR/MSS mCRC patients.  During the conference, a reporter from Oncology Frontier conducted an in-depth interview with Dr. Rongbo Lin to discuss the study findings.
ASCO GI 2025 | Dr. Lin Shen & Dr. Zhi Peng: PD-L1/TGF-βRII Bispecific Antibody SHR-1701 Improves Efficacy and Protects Bone Marrow in First-Line Treatment of G/GEJA

ASCO GI 2025 | Dr. Lin Shen & Dr. Zhi Peng: PD-L1/TGF-βRII Bispecific Antibody SHR-1701 Improves Efficacy and Protects Bone Marrow in First-Line Treatment of G/GEJA

From January 23 to 25, 2025, the American Society of Clinical Oncology Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium (ASCO GI) was held in San Francisco, showcasing significant advancements in gastrointestinal cancer treatment. The Peking University Cancer Hospital presented a series of cutting-edge findings, contributing to global progress in digestive tract oncology. On the first day of the conference, Dr. Zhi Peng from Peking University Cancer Hospital delivered an oral presentation on the latest findings from a Phase III clinical study evaluating the domestically developed PD-L1/TGF-βRII bispecific fusion protein SHR-1701 in first-line treatment for HER2-negative gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (G/GEJA). Building upon the efficacy improvements previously reported at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress, the latest data presented at ASCO GI suggests that SHR-1701 combined with chemotherapy may mitigate chemotherapy-induced bone marrow suppression, offering a more effective and safer treatment option for G/GEJA.

Moving Forward with Determination, Embracing a Promising Future! Dr. Xinan Sheng on Key Advances in the Treatment of Advanced Renal Cancer in 2024

In recent years, some immunotherapy approaches for renal cancer have faced setbacks, failing to meet primary endpoints. However, with ongoing advancements in targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and other treatment modalities, significant progress has been made in managing advanced renal cancer. Notably, the success of multiple large-scale Phase III trials on targeted and immunotherapy combinations has marked the beginning of a new era in first-line treatment for advanced renal cancer. In 2024, several major breakthroughs were achieved. To provide deeper insights, Oncology Frontier invited Xinan Sheng, professor at Peking University Cancer Hospital, to summarize the key research developments that may serve as valuable references for future renal cancer treatment and research.
