  • ASCO22 OncoAlert Round up DAY1

    Dear Colleagues,

    Welcome to the ASCO22 RoundUp for Day one of the congress


    Starting with with KRYstal1 with a concomitant publication in the New England


    Phase One report of Adagrasib in Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, targeting KRAS G12C shows promise in  clinical efficacy without new safety signals

    Large number of response

     median follow-up of 12.5 months

    the median PFS 6.5 months 

     median OS 12.6 months




    The EVEREST Trial

    Adjuvant everolimus improves RFS in resected renal cell carcinoma in over 1,500 patients



    6-year estimated RFS was 64% for everolimus Vs 61% placebo.

    Just missing respecified 0.0222 significance. 

    That is a minimal improved RFS with significantly higher AEs.



    There was a 21% improvement in RFS in everolimus in those with high risk for recurrence with no benefit seen in those in an intermediate high-risk group.







    Update of COSMIC-021 Trial

    This was first-line treatment in urothelial carcinoma 

    Combining Cabo/Atezo shows encouraging results with manageable tox

    in patients who were 


    ineligible for cisplatin

    cisplatin eligible 

    or with 1 prior immune checkpoint inhibitor and no prior VEGF TKIs



    OR 20% in cisplatin-ineligible patients,

    30% in cisplatin-eligible patients,

    10%for those w prior ICI.





    Lung-MAP S1800A

    in Second-line pembrolizumab plus ramucirumab in Non Small Cell Lung Cancer


    Here there was a possible survival benefit with immune checkpoint inhibitor resistance VS Standard of care 


    This is the first successful trial in the second-line setting for advanced NSCLC in those withAcquired resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy with out a Chemo backbone


    Great to see lung cancer patients who progressed on prior immunotherapy, living significantly longer when treated with the combo of Pembrolizumab plus ramucirumab 

    OS 14.5 months vs 11.6 months

    Very encouraging




    Checkmate 9ER

    Depth of response to  nivolumab plus cabozantinib is associated with durable efficacy and improved prognosis in previously untreated advanced renal cell carcinoma


    The 12-month PFS rate for patients with the deepest responses in nivo cabo was 46.2% Vs 27.4% in sunitinib.


    The 18-month OS rate was twice as high in nivolumab plus cabozantinib 37.9% vs 17.4%)

    An improvement in Prognosis!




    And those are just SOME of the top trials presented at DAY1 of ASCO22 

    Looking forward to an Amazing Day 2

    Reminding everyone to mask up and enjoy ASCO
