🔥 More is not always the best

REDUCE trial demonstrated that every 12 weeks denosumab is not inferior to standard every 4 weeks

✅ Non inferior efficacy
✅ Improved safety profile
✅ Reduce cost

I love this type of trials!
Congratulations to all investigators

#ASCO2026 - Advanced Gastric cancer
Abstract 4007 - Adding oral EP4 antagonist ONO-4578 to chemo + IO in Stage IV gastric cancer.

- Median PFS was significantly longer with ONO-4578 vs placebo
9.0 vs 6.9 months; HR 0.67; 90% CI 0.48–0.92; P=0.040.

- Median OS favored ONO-4578 (not reached vs 12.7 months; HR 0.60; 95% CI 0.37–0.96).

- ORR was higher in the ONO-4578 group (62.0% vs 48.7%). Serious TEAEs occurred in 53.7% vs 42.7%.

IMPORTANT: Results were better for PD-L1 positive tumors.

This Phase II RCT shows that adding the EP4 antagonist ONO-4578 to standard nivo + chemo improves PFS and trends toward OS benefit in 1L HER2-negative gastric/GEJ cancer.

Although OS data are immature and this is a Phase II trial, this is a first demonstration that PGE2-EP4 pathway inhibition can enhance immunotherapy efficacy in this setting - warranting Phase III confirmation.

EMERALD-1, EMERALD-3, CARES-005, LEAP-012, (and maybe Imbrave 050, although for post-resection or ablation; and EMERALD-Y90 for post-Y90) all test a similar idea: will adjuvant systemic therapy improve outcomes after local regional therapy? PFS benefits are seen across all studies (except 050). But OS are all immature. Are we just giving systemic therapy earlier for these patients who would eventually have more advanced disease? Without final OS, post-TACE systemic therapy is probably not given universally as of today. Hopefully we will have the data soon.

But for some high risk patients, there might be benefits. We need to investigate who in the control arm “have no chance” to receive systemic therapy upon progression. Those are the patients we want to consider treating earlier.

And the debates continue…

Important study re: ctDNA for non-op surveillance in rectal ca.

Pos ctDNA associated w regrowth (60%) & distant mets (60%), but neg ctDNA doesn't exclude local regrowth (sensitivity only 41%)

ctDNA good for risk stratification but not surveillance replacement #ASCO26 @OncoAlert

🥳A better than C
😊But B also better than C
😳And A and B not so different

OS pending - promising
Tox: more drugs -> more toxicity

🤨Lenva needed?

[Mark Lewis, MD, FASCO @marklewismd]

“X % of patients found the side effects acceptable” strikes me as far more authentic than “manageable toxicity”, and acknowledges who’s actually experiencing the AEs!

When the patient & oncologist meet, there are 2 experts in the room: one embodied & one necessarily removed

And

There's a lot of work that needs to be done:
- Compare with other/newer RAS inhibitors?
- How to impact early stage/resectable disease?
-How to combine with other therapy
- ideal sequence of rx?
