Research Reflections: Subbiah Reviews Striking ASCO 2022 Data Across Oncology

Dr Subbiah discusses findings from 4 presentations that stood out to him from the 2022 ASCO Annual Meeting: phase 2 data (NCT04165772) demonstrating a 100% complete response rate in 12 patients with mismatch repair–deficient, locally advanced rectal cancer who received dostarlimab (Jemperli); DESTINY-Breast04 (NCT03734029), results he called “important and practice changing” for patients with HER2-low unresectable and/or metastatic breast cancer; a first-in-human study (NCT04585750) of PC14586, a novel agent targeting mutated TP53 in advanced solid tumors; and the LIBRETTO-001 trial (NCT03157128), which demonstrated that selpercatinib (Retevmo) can target RET-positive fusions in solid tumors.
