Background: Patients with microsatellite-instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch-repair-deficient (dMMR) metastatic colorectal cancer have poor outcomes with standard chemotherapy with or without targeted therapies. Nivolumab plus ipilimumab has shown clinical benefit in nonrandomized studies of MSI-H or dMMR metastatic colorectal cancer.

Methods: In this phase 3 open-label trial, we randomly assigned patients with unresectable or metastatic colorectal cancer and MSI-H or dMMR status according to local testing to receive, in a 2:2:1 ratio, nivolumab plus ipilimumab, nivolumab alone, or chemotherapy with or without targeted therapies.

Trastuzumab Deruxtecan in Previously Treated HER2-Positive Gastric Cancer.

N Engl J Med

June 2020

Shitara), the National Cancer Center Hospital (S.I.), Daiichi Sankyo (T.K., A.K., M.S.), and the Cancer Institute Hospital of JFCR (K.Y.), Tokyo, the Osaka International Cancer Institute (N.S.), Osaka University Hospital (D.S.), and Kindai University Hospital (H.K.), Osaka, and Niigata Cancer Center Hospital, Niigata (H.Y.) - all in Japan; Seoul National University College of Medicine (Y.-J.B.), the Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine (M.-H.R.), the Yonsei Cancer Center, Yonsei University College of Medicine (H.-C.C.), and the Samsung Medical Center, Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine (J.L.) - all in Seoul, South Korea; and Daiichi Sankyo, Basking Ridge, NJ (K. Saito, Y.K.).

Background: Trastuzumab deruxtecan (DS-8201) is an antibody-drug conjugate consisting of an anti-HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) antibody, a cleavable tetrapeptide-based linker, and a cytotoxic topoisomerase I inhibitor. The drug may have efficacy in patients with HER2-positive advanced gastric cancer.

Methods: In an open-label, randomized, phase 2 trial, we evaluated trastuzumab deruxtecan as compared with chemotherapy in patients with HER2-positive advanced gastric cancer.

Background: Asciminib is an allosteric inhibitor that binds a myristoyl site of the BCR-ABL1 protein, locking BCR-ABL1 into an inactive conformation through a mechanism distinct from those for all other ABL kinase inhibitors. Asciminib targets both native and mutated BCR-ABL1, including the gatekeeper T315I mutant. The safety and antileukemic activity of asciminib in patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive leukemia are unknown.

Article Synopsis
  • A multi-institutional study was conducted to assess the discrepancies between radiotherapy treatment planning systems (TPSs) and verification programs for IMRT and VMAT.
  • The analysis involved 477 IMRT/VMAT plans, revealing that the sliding window technique had greater negative systematic differences compared to the step-and-shoot technique, and that head and neck plans showed larger dose variations than prostate plans.
  • The findings suggest that a local dose difference of ±5% may be a reasonable benchmark for institutions when evaluating agreement between primary calculations and verification for these radiation therapies.
