Prophylactic G-CSF averts febrile neutropaenia in docetaxel-treated breast cancer patients
Prophylactic granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) results in a significant decrease both in the rate of febrile neutropaenia (FN) and duration of hospitalization for FN in breast cancer patients treated with docetaxel-based chemotherapy regimens (DBRs), according to a recent study.

Palbociclib–bazedoxifene combo for HR+/HER2− breast cancer succeeds in early trial
Treatment with the combination of palbociclib plus bazedoxifene demonstrates clinical efficacy while having an acceptable safety profile in treatment-experienced patients with hormone receptor–positive/HER2-negative (HR+/HER2−) advanced breast cancer, according to the results of a phase Ib/II study.

Acalabrutinib-based chemo-free triplet shows high rates of MRD-negative CR in 1L MCL study
First-line (1L) acalabrutinib in combination with lenalidomide and rituximab (ALR) has demonstrated high rates of minimal residual disease (MRD)–negative complete remission (CR) in patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), including patients with TP53 mutations, in a single-arm phase II trial reported at the 64th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition.

Prostate cancer genomic study shows disparity between Chinese and Caucasians with castration-sensitive disease
A large genomic study involving 1,016 Chinese patients with prostate cancer has revealed important differences in castration-sensitive disease between Chinese and Caucasian patients, but the mutation profile of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is similar between the populations.

Asians with MET exon 14 skipping NSCLC achieve durable response with tepotinib
The MET inhibitor tepotinib demonstrates clinically meaningful antitumour activity, with durable efficacy and manageable safety profile in Asian nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with MET mutations associated with exon 14 skipping, as shown in the subset analysis of the single-arm, phase II VISION study.

Amivantamab/lazertinib combo shows promise in EGFR-mutated NSCLC
Among nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with mutations spanning exons 18 to 21, combination treatment with amivantamab and lazertinib induces high rates of response, reports a study presented at the recent 2022 European Society for Medical Oncology Asia Congress (ESMO Asia 2022).
