Introduction: JUNIPER compared the efficacy and safety of abemaciclib, a selective cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 inhibitor, with erlotinib in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring a Kirsten rat sarcoma () mutation.

Methods: JUNIPER was a Phase III, multicenter, randomized, open-label trial of abemaciclib versus erlotinib in patients with stage IV NSCLC and a detectable mutation in codons 12 or 13 of the oncogene, who progressed after platinum-based chemotherapy and 1 additional therapy (could include immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy). Randomized patients (3:2) received either 200 mg abemaciclib twice daily or 150 mg erlotinib once daily with best supportive care until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Background: Deregulated Notch signaling is implicated in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL)/T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL). Crenigacestat (LY3039478) prevents cleavage of Notch proteins and may benefit patients with relapsed/refractory T-ALL/T-LBL.

Methods: JJCB was a multicenter, nonrandomized, open-label, dose-escalation, phase 1 study in adult patients with relapsed/refractory T-ALL/T-LBL.

Background: LY3039478 is an orally bioavailable selective Notch inhibitor. This phase 1a/b trial evaluated the safety, pharmacokinetics and antitumour activity of LY3039478 in patients with soft tissue sarcoma (STS) and gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST).

Methods: This multipart, phase 1 trial enrolled patients with refractory advanced/metastatic STS and GIST, measurable disease, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group ≤1 and baseline tumour tissue.
