ALINA adjuvant alectinib vs chemo for ALK pos resected lung cancer. Again unfortunate re data leak but sneak peak looks good. HR 0.24 favoring alectinib 30% improvement in DFS at 3 yrs. Adjuvant chemo followed by alectinib likely the path forward.

Adjuvant Pembro improves DFS in resected NSCLC! Headline DFS curve looks good and similar to Imp010 in all comers, subsets a bit counterintuitive (maybe a lesson not to look too closely at subsets?). Notably more PD-L1 pos tumors in this trial than CM-816 or Imp010 #LCSM

Among patients with cancers bearing the KRAS G12C mutation who received divarasib at a 400-mg dose, 56% with lung cancer, 36% with colorectal cancer, and 36% with other tumor types had a confirmed response. 🔗 Read the full study results: #oncology

Remarkable results from Prof. ⁦ @MARIANOPROVENCI ⁩ & team ⁦ @gecp_org ⁩ - 70% of pts with clinical stage IIIA NSCLC cancer-free at 3 yrs after neoadjuvant nivo-chemo. Strong assoc between ctDNA clearance during neoadj therapy & long term benefit.

Congratulations @DrJNaidoo who developed this investigator initiated trial from concept to publication! Anecdotally we have seen pts with leptomeningeal carcinomatosis who benefit from immunotherapy, this is among the first prospective trials to show that IO can help #LCSM

With the recent press releases on immunotherapy for surgical lung cancer, watch for CheckMate 816 (neoadj chemo-nivo for 3 doses only) update at #ELCC23 March 30. Dr. @nicogirardcurie will report overall survival at 3 yrs. Two yr follow up looked good, will benefit hold up? #lcsm

Perioperative immunotherapy for resectable NSCLC will be a very crowded space. Press release tells us AEGEAN and KEYNOTE 671 hit their endpoints. Expect a lot of cross-trial comparisons over the next year or two. Ready for the next wave of trials to further refine delivery! #LCSM

The addition of nivo to chemo increased pCR from 2.2% w chemo alone to 24% w chemo-nivo (p<0.0001). pCR was assessed by central pathologists who were blinded to trial arms. Surgical specimens had a median of 10% residual tumor cells after chemo-nivo vs 74% after chemo alone.
