Deputy Editor Ali Landman speaks with Matthias Preusser (Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria) about two reports from the phase 2 TUXEDO-3 trial investigating patritumab deruxtecan (HER3-Dxd) in patients with active brain metastases of breast cancer or non-small-cell lung cancer. 

Hear about the potential of HER3-targeted antibody-drug conjugates for brain metastases, why recruiting patients with active brain metastases to clinical trials is so important, and where the field is going next.

Smriti Patodia, Senior Editor of The Lancet Oncology, is joined by Dr Andrea Necchi, Associate Professor at the Vita-Salute San Raffaele University, and the Director of Genitourinary Medical Oncology at the San Raffaele Hospital, in Milan, Italy, to discuss his SunRISe4-trial published in our October issue.

Effective treatments are needed for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer scheduled for radical cystectomy who are ineligible for or decline to receive neoadjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy. SunRISe-4 is a randomised, open-label, phase 2 trial being conducted at 109 investigative centres in ten countries worldwide, and aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant TAR-200 plus cetrelimab (anti-PD-1) versus cetrelimab monotherapy in this disease setting.

They discuss the unique features of the TAR-200 localised sustained delivery system for gemcitabine, the key findings from the SunRISe4-trial trial, and what the future implications of the findings are in terms of better treatment options for patients with bladder cancer.
