The main highlight was RASolute-302, which demonstrated an unprecedented benefit with daraxonrasib in the second-line treatment of pancreatic adenocarcinoma, doubling overall survival (13 vs 6 months; HR 0.40) while also improving and progression-free survival (also doubled) and while also improving objective response rate (33% vs 11%). In intermediate-stage hepatocellular carcinoma, the EMERALD-3 trial confirmed the benefit of combining systemic therapy with locoregional intervention. The combination of durvalumab-tremelimumab plus lenvatinib and TACE, improved progression-free survival compared with TACE alone. Moreover, dual immunotherapy plus TACE also provides clinical benefit compared with TACE alone (pending statistical analysis); therefore, the question arises as to whether adding levantinib to the treatment strategy is truly necessary. Also in the intermediate-stage setting, the combination of camrelizumab and rivoceranib with TACE demonstrated a significant improvement in progression-free survival and increased the response rate to 60%, compared with 45% in the control group. On the other hand, IMbrave251 did not demonstrate a benefit from continuing atezolizumab after progression on atezolizumab–bevacizumab, although it provides important evidence supporting the use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors in this setting following progression on immunotherapy. This is a highly relevant study, as it is the first to provide data on treatment sequencing in the setting of first-line immunotherapy, which is the current standard of care. Among emerging therapies, the bispecific antibody QLS31905 in pancreatic cancer (ORR 61%) and the Trispecific antibody ZG006 in neuroendocrine tumours with high DLL3 expression (ORR 56%) stood out, both showing highly promising signs of clinical activity. In biliary tract cancers, the phase III FIGHT-302 trial compared pemigatinib with cisplatin–gemcitabine as first-line treatment for patients with FGFR2 fusions. Although enrolment was stopped early and the observed trend in favour of pemigatinib was modest, pemigatinib achieved higher response rates, further supporting the role of targeted therapies in this patient population. Finally, the first results from cell therapies targeting tp53 in pancreatic cancer and GPC3 in hepatocellular carcinoma reinforce the growing role of these strategies in the field of solid tumours. ----- 3rd Edition TooMore Gi is also available at: transworldeditors.com/toomore-gi-3/
