Background: Advances in precision oncology led to approval of tumour-agnostic molecularly guided treatment options (MGTOs). The minimum requirements for claiming tumour-agnostic potential remain elusive.

Methods: The European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Precision Medicine Working Group (PMWG) coordinated a project to optimise tumour-agnostic drug development.

Healthcare decision-making for tumour-agnostic therapies in Europe: lessons learned.

Drug Discov Today

July 2024

Division of Pharmacoepidemiology and Clinical Pharmacology, Utrecht Institute for Pharmaceutical Sciences (UIPS), Utrecht University, Utrecht, the Netherlands. Electronic address:

The tumour-agnostic authorisations of larotrectinib and entrectinib shifted the paradigm for indication setting. European healthcare decision-makers agreed on their therapeutic potential but diverged primarily in identified uncertainties concerning basket trial designs and endpoints, prognostic value of neurotrophic tropomyosin receptor kinase (NTRK) gene fusions, and resistance mechanisms. In addition, assessments of relevant comparators, unmet medical needs (UMNs), and implementation of NTRK-testing strategies diverged.

Histology independent drug development - Is this the future for cancer drugs?

Cancer Treat Rev

February 2024

Translational and Clinical Research Institute, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne NE2 4HH, UK. Electronic address:

The Cancer Drug Development Forum (CDDF)'s 'Histology independent drug development - is this the future for cancer drugs?' workshop was set up to explore the current landscape of histology independent drug development, review the current regulatory landscape and propose recommendations for improving the conduct of future trials. The first session considered lessons learnt from previous trials, including innovative solutions for reimbursement. The session explored why overall survival represents the most valuable endpoint, and the importance of duration of response, which can be captured with swimmer and spider plots.

Introduction: Secretory carcinoma (SC) of the salivary gland is an extraordinarily rare tumour. Accurate diagnosis of SC is crucial for understanding the clinical course, prognosis, and selection of optimal therapy. The aim of this research was to analyse retrospectively the clinical and pathological characteristics of patients diagnosed with SC of the salivary gland from 2017 onwards, which aligns with its addition to the World Health Organization classification.
