Here are some interesting abstract titles for the radonc crowd and my takes on them.
LBA2 - DeFi: A Phase 3, Randomized Controlled Trial of Nirogacestat Versus Placebo for Progressing Desmoid Tumors (DT)
This could potentially become competition for RT.LBA5 - Primary results of the phase 3 KEYNOTE-412 study: pembrolizumab (pembro) with chemoradiation therapy (CRT) vs placebo plus CRT for locally advanced (LA) head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC)
A press release has disclosed a negative primary endpoint already:Merck Provides Update on Phase 3 KEYNOTE-412 Trial in Unresected Locally Advanced Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma - Merck.com
Merck (NYSE: MRK), known as MSD outside the United States and Canada, today announced that the Phase 3 KEYNOTE-412 trial evaluating KEYTRUDA ® (pembrolizumab), Merck’s anti-PD-1 therapy, with concurrent chemoradiation therapy (CRT) followed by KEYTRUDA as maintenance therapy (the KEYTRUDA...

LBA9 - Duration of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with post-operative radiotherapy (RT) for prostate cancer: first results of the RADICALS-HD trial (ISRCTN40814031)
Relevant for daily practice. I suspect, the longer you give ADT the better results you are going to get. But are we really curing more patients or simply prolonging the time until theye experience recurrence?787O - Adjuvant immunotherapy with nivolumab (NIVO) versus observation in completely resected Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC): disease-free survival (DFS) results from ADMEC-O, a randomized, open-label phase 2 trial
Could also influence role of adjuvant RT.277O - The ReSPECT-GBM™ Phase I/IIa Trial of Rhenium-186 NanoLiposome (186RNL) in Recurrent Glioma via Convection Enhanced Delivery (CED) & Planned Phase IIb Trial
278O - Preliminary results of a phase II study of retifanlimab (PD-1 inhibitor) plus or minus epacadostat (IDO1 inhibitor) in combination with bevacizumab and hypofractionated radiotherapy for recurrent glioblastoma: NCT03532295
Potential new options for recurrent GBM.LBA31 - Randomized phase 3 trial of maintenance chemotherapy with tegafur-uracil versus observation following concurrent chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced cervical cancer, GOTIC-002 LUFT trial
Adjuvant chemotherapy for cervical cancer revisited (after the South American trial something like 12(?) years ago)653O - Neoadjuvant Nivolumab (N) before chemoradiation (CRT) in high-risk HPV driven Oropharynx Cancer (OPC): IMMUNEBOOST-HPV, a multicenter randomized phase 2 trial
Intriguing sequence of therapy.950O - Ipilimumab plus Nivolumab and ChemoRadiotherapy followed by Surgery in patients with resectable and borderline resectable lung cancer: the INCREASE trial.
IO + CRT + Surgery for unresectable NSCLC... Why don't we put PCI on top of that, then we would have given ALL possible treatment?Is anyone attending? I will be in Paris. PM if you want to grab a coffee!
