🚨 #ESMO26 Another promising ADC in 2L EGFRm NSCLC! Ph3 HER3 ADC ruzaltatug rezetecan vs chemo: πŸ“ˆ PFS 8.3 vs 5.4m (HR 0.47) πŸ“ˆ ORR 60% vs 34% πŸ“ˆ OS HR 0.70 (immature) ⚠️ ILD 2.4% Competitive ADC landscape! More mature OS & global data needed.

🚨 #ESMO26 Another Ph3 study reinforcing MET amp as a key target in EGFRm NSCLC! Dalmelitinib + aumolertinib vs chemo post-EGFR TKI: πŸ“ˆ PFS 6.2 vs 4.4m (HR 0.60) πŸ”¬ Reinforces importance of rebiopsy at progression, MET-amp accounts for ~10–15% (definition-dependent).

Impressive data with mRNA personalised vaccine seen here in patients with melanoma. Trials in lung cancer open and recruiting (open at SBH) and we look forward to see outcome data! #ASCO26
Another major advance vs cancer! @ASCO #ASCO26 Personalized neoantigen mRNA vaccine 5 year follow-up vs metastatic melanoma reduced recurrence and death by 49% (on top of Keytruda) ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/JCO…

Presented at #ASCO26: Among patients with π˜™π˜Œπ˜› fusion–positive non–small-cell lung cancer, adjuvant selpercatinib led to longer event-free survival than placebo. Adverse events of grade 3 or higher included elevated liver-enzyme levels. Full phase 3 LIBRETTO-432 trial results: nej.md/3Q3QcIo @ASCO
