EPISODE-III (JCOG1503C) — ASCO 2026
• Aspirin 100 mg daily for 3 years did not significantly improve DFS in unselected Stage III CRC.
• HR 0.84 with a 3.4% absolute DFS difference favored aspirin, but statistical significance was not reached.
• Toxicity was minimal and major bleeding was uncommon.
• Ongoing biomarker analyses may clarify whether selected molecular subsets derive greater benefit.

Adding atezolizumab to paclitaxel + bevacizumab did not significantly improve PFS in patients with HR+/HER2− advanced breast cancer (12.4 vs 11.2 months; HR 0.88; P=0.168).
A numerical improvement in OS was observed (39.1 vs 31.2 months; HR 0.80; P=0.091), with a manageable safety profile consistent with known toxicities.
These findings do not support the routine addition of atezolizumab to paclitaxel + bevacizumab in an unselected HR+/HER2− population.

At #ASCO26, @9p2nNkRpjOrdvcw colleagues presented results from the phase 3 JCOG1919E (AMBITION) trial evaluating the addition of atezolizumab to paclitaxel plus bevacizumab in HR+/HER2− advanced breast cancer.
📊 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀:
▪️ Median PFS: 12.4 vs 11.2 months (HR 0.88)
▪️ Central review PFS: 16.7 vs 13.8 months (HR 0.92)
▪️ Median OS: 39.1 vs 31.2 months (HR 0.80)
▪️ ORR: 73.0% vs 71.9%
▪️ No new safety signals identified
🧬 Despite the biologic rationale of combining VEGF inhibition with PD-L1 blockade, the study did not meet its primary endpoint of improving PFS.
💡 These findings highlight the ongoing challenge of overcoming the immunologically "cold" biology of HR+/HER2− breast cancer, although a numerical OS improvement was observed.

🇯🇵 JCOG1919E (AMBITION)
A phase III trial evaluating the addition of atezolizumab to paclitaxel (PTX) plus bevacizumab (BEV) in patients with HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced or recurrent breast cancer resistant to endocrine therapy.
📊 The study did not demonstrate an improvement in progression-free survival (PFS). Although overall survival (OS) showed a trend toward prolongation, the difference was not statistically significant.
🌍 Despite being a negative study, it was a highly anticipated trial that attracted considerable international attention and generated important discussion regarding immunotherapy strategies in HR-positive breast cancer.
👏 Congratulations to Dr. Hara on the presentation, and thank you for your tremendous efforts in leading this important study.

ASCO 2026 | EPISODE-III/JCOG1503C
Atsuo Takashima presented phase 3 data testing low-dose aspirin after curative resection in unselected stage III CRC.
Aspirin + adjuvant chemo did not significantly improve DFS.
3-year DFS:
75.4% placebo vs 78.8% aspirin
HR 0.84; 95% CI 0.65–1.09; p=0.0987
RFS: 77.2% vs 79.5%; HR 0.87
OS: 96.6% vs 95.2%; HR 1.02
Aspirin was well tolerated; biomarker analyses including PI3K/PIK3CA are ongoing.

Aspirin vs placebo
◾️3y-DFS: 78.8% vs 75.4% (HR 0.84, p=0.0987)
◾️3y-OS: 95.2% vs 96.6% (HR 1.02)
👉The addition of aspirin to standard ACT did not improve outcomes in unselected stage III CRC. Biomarker analyses (e.g., PIK3CA, ctDNA) are awaited.

Does aspirin improve outcomes in stage III colon cancer after surgery and chemotherapy?
The phase III EPISODE-III trial randomized 882 patients with resected stage III CRC to:
🔹 Adjuvant chemotherapy + placebo
vs
🔹 Adjuvant chemotherapy + aspirin 100 mg daily for 3 years
🎯 Primary endpoint: DFS
Key results:
📉 3-year DFS
• Aspirin: 78.8%
• Placebo: 75.4%
• HR 0.84 (95% CI 0.65-1.09)
• p=0.099
📉 Overall survival
• HR 1.02
• No OS benefit observed
🩺 Safety:
Aspirin was generally well tolerated with no major new safety signals.
📌 Takeaway:
Low-dose aspirin did not significantly improve DFS in an unselected stage III CRC population.
However, the consistent DFS/RFS trend raises an important question:
Are we studying the wrong population instead of the wrong drug?
Exploratory biomarker analyses, including PI3K/PIK3CA alterations, are ongoing and may help identify a biologically enriched subgroup more likely to benefit.
Precision adjuvant therapy continues to evolve beyond stage alone.
