1/5
1. Krascendo-1: PhIII Divarasib vs sotorasib/adagrasib in prev-treated KRAS G12C NSCLC (n=338):
- mPFS 9.8 vs 5.7mos (HR 0.58)
- mOS 17.7 vs 12.0 mos (HR 0.56)
- ORR 58% vs 32%
- Fewer G3-4 TRAEs & discontinuations
- New preferred G12C option?
2/5
2. SAFFRON: PhIII Osimertinib + savolitinib vs plat-pem in EGFRm/MET-high NSCLC post-osi (n=338):
- mPFS 7.6 vs 5.4mos (HR 0.55)
- mOS 17.8 vs 12.9mos (HR 0.68)

Interim analysis of HARMONi-GI1 phase III findings of #Ivonescimab (bispecific Ab for PD-1/VEGF) + chemo vs. durvalumab + chemo for treatment-naive #biliarytract#cancer (N=682). 👏👏
🔹Primary endpoint: OS of 14.9M vs. 12.1 (HR = 0.75)
🔹PFS: 8.4 vs. 5.8M; HR = 0.61
🔹ORR = 53.8% vs. 32.5%
🔹Subsequent therapies was 31.8% vs. 45.9% (more so in control arm)

CLARITY- Gastric 01 (CG-01) Phase III AZD-0901 (Sone-Ve) in 2L+ met #Claudin 18.2 (+) in #Gastroesophageal#cancer vs. investigators choice (N=594)
Primary endpoints: PFS + OS
🔹OS: 10M vs. 5M (HR = 0.47) 👏
🔹12M OS: 38.1% vs. 18.1%, HR = 0.47 (3rd line)
🔹 12M 42.6% in 2nd line
🔹 ORR: 23.3% vs. 13.8%
🔹PFS: HR = 0.77 was NS in 2L+
🔹PFS: HR = 4.1 vs. 2.7M; HR = 0.56 in 3L+
🔹Need more data in the 2L setting; largest benefit seen in 3L+ setting
