NEPA- and olanzapine-based regimens similarly effective at preventing CINV in early BC
In a post hoc analysis of two prospective studies, netupitant/palonosetron (NEPA) combined with dexamethasone has demonstrated similar efficacy vs a quadruplet regimen of olanzapine, aprepitant, ondansetron, and dexamethasone in preventing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in Chinese women with early breast cancer (BC) receiving doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide (AC) in Hong Kong.

Neoadjuvant–adjuvant bests adjuvant-only pembrolizumab in advanced melanoma
For patients with stage III or IV melanoma, treatment with pembrolizumab both before and after surgical resection leads to longer event-free survival than treatment with pembrolizumab only after the procedure, according to the results of a phase II study.

Metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer: When is it preferable to use triplet, doublet therapies?
In patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer, triplet therapy may be ideal for fit patients with synchronous (de novo) high-volume disease while the androgen pathway inhibitor (API) doublet combinations may be preferred for those with metachronous (recurrent) low-volume disease, according to the results of a meta-analysis.

mHSPC: Adding darolutamide to ADT and docetaxel ups OS in most disease volume and risk subgroups
Triplet therapy with darolutamide, androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) and docetaxel improves overall survival (OS) by approximately 30 percent vs ADT plus docetaxel in most disease volume and risk subgroups of patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC), a post hoc analysis of the phase III ARASENS trial has shown.
