Two new studies support the hypothesis that pts with EGFR mutated NSCLC are the best population for TROP-2 ADCs: EVOKE-01 (EGFR is in the āAGAā subgroup in the forest plot) and ICARUS-LUNG. d.planchard EGFR Resisters #ASCO24


Pr Egbert Smit elegantly suggests that TROP-2 ADCs with a topo-1 inhibitor payload (deruxtecan, govitecanā¦) are not better that old fashioned topo-1 inhibitors such as irinotecan or topotecan.





Lorlatinib PFS is impressive with an HR 0.19 over crizotinib. But why after 5 yrs FU canāt we see the OS curves and the cross over rate? Even if the number of events is not reached, that would help us to select our first line treatment. ALK Positive #ASCO24


Gustave Roussy ASCO #ASCO24 140 accepted abstracts, #30 oral presentations w #10 done by our experts. Weāre here to exchange, collaborate and drive the next steps on the road to cure cancer. Laurence Albiges


1st generation KRAS inhibitors: a piece of the puzzle is still missing. #ASCO24 Hope it will be enough to convince refractory HTAs to refund the drug! KRASKickers





Stop pembro after 2 years? In 43,359 pts that received up-front pembrolizumab for an advanced NSCLC, continuation beyond 2 years was not associated with better OS than a fixed 2-year treatment, HRĀ =Ā 0.97 [0.75ā1.26] pĀ =Ā 0.95. Adrien Rousseau sciencedirect.com/science/articlā¦



Impressive benefit for Lenvatinib-Pembrolizumab in pts with thymic carcinoma and B3 thymoma. ORR 23.3% and mPFS 14.9m are unexpected in 2nd line or more. Lenvatinib dose matters in a subgroup analysis. Congratulations Jordi Remon #ESMO24



NUT Carcinoma is an ultra-rare entity with a NUTM1 fusion, diagnosed by a simple IHC NUT+ (can look like a squamous lung cancer in a never smoker pt). Previously known as midline carcinoma, its prognosis is extremely poor. Lurbinectedin appears promising! annalsofoncology.org/article/S0923-ā¦

ICB or chemo-ICB in PD-L1ā„50% advanced NSCLC? Metabolic tumor volume (tMTV) assessed by 18F FDG petscan can guide you. High tMTV lesions might have a different biology and be better candidate to chemo-ICB. Filippo Dall'Olio aacrjournals.org/clincancerres/ā¦
