Background: Androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPI) in combination with docetaxel (Doc) and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) has improved outcomes for men with metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). We hypothesized that combining ADT with Doc and enzalutamide (Enz) would improve the 52-week prostate-specific antigen (PSA) complete response (CR) rate compared to a historical control with ADT + Doc.

Methods: In a single arm phase II trial, treatment-naïve patients with mHSPC received ADT + Doc every 3 weeks up to 6 cycles and Enz daily until progression.

Background: Patients with locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who undergo concurrent chemotherapy and radiotherapy often experience synergistic toxicity, and local regional control rates remain poor. We assessed the activity and safety outcomes of primary tumour stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) followed by conventional chemoradiotherapy to the lymph nodes and consolidation immunotherapy in patients with unresectable locally advanced NSCLC.

Methods: In this multicentre, single-arm, phase 2 trial, patients aged 18 years and older were enrolled at eight regional cancer centres in North Carolina and South Carolina, USA.

In newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM), measurable residual disease (MRD) status is prognostically important, but its role in treatment decisions remains unclear. In a phase 2 trial, we assessed daratumumab, carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (Dara-KRd) induction followed by a next-generation sequencing-based MRD-adapted strategy. The primary outcome was complete response (CR) and stringent CR (≥CR) after induction.

Introduction: Treatment of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) in first relapse remains a challenge. This phase II study combined elotuzumab (Elo) with carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (KRd) for treatment of MM in first relapse with the aim of improving efficacy.

Methods: Enrolled patients received Elo-KRd induction for 4 cycles, and Elo-lenalidomide maintenance until progression.
