    FDA Approvals Change Practice for Metastatic Breast Cancer With PIK3CA Mutations

    Recent advances in hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer have led to questions about the timing of genetic testing and the optimal treatment choices for patients. “I, like many others, have changed my personal practice,” says Azka Ali, MD, a medical oncologist at the Cleveland Clinic Taussig Cancer Institute in Ohio. She and Robert A. Figlin, MD, the Steven Spielberg Family Chair in Hematology-Oncology at the Cedars-Sinai Cancer Center in Los Angeles, discuss what newly approved medications for patients with PIK3CA mutations mean for oncologists. “I think the breast cancer landscape is changing faster than we can all keep up with it,” Dr. Ali explains. She breaks down current genetic testing concerns and how she approaches treatment decisions that sometimes take place in a “data-free zone.” Dr. Ali reported no relevant financial disclosures. Dr. Figlin reported various financial relationships.

    To Help Oncologists’ Burnout, Should Primary Care Take on More Burden?

    The European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Resilience Task Force recently released recommendations intended to reduce burnout in oncology worldwide. One of the task force’s members, Konstantinos Kamposioras, MD, PhD, a consultant in medical oncology at the Christie NHS Foundation Trust in Manchester in the United Kingdom, explains to Robert A. Figlin, MD, the Steven Spielberg Family Chair in Hematology-Oncology at Cedars-Sinai Cancer Center in Los Angeles, how those recommendations came to be and what institutions should do to help care for cancer care providers. They discuss differences between young oncologists and late-career specialists and consider solutions beyond those laid out in the ESMO guidance. “I’m wondering whether we have not done a good enough job having our primary care colleagues help us manage our cancer cases,” Dr. Figlin speculates. Dr. Kamposioras reported no relevant financial relationships. Dr. Figlin reported various financial relationships.

    Choosing Between an “Old Friend” and New Ones in EGFR-Mutated Metastatic NSCLC

    When it comes to the treatment of EGFR-mutated metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), osimertinib (Tagrisso) is an “old friend,” says Kamya Sankar, MD, assistant professor and co–medical director of the Thoracic Disease Research Group at Cedars-Sinai Cancer Center in Los Angeles. Recent approvals by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration have introduced several “new friends,” in the form of amivantamab (Rybrevant) and lazertinib (Lazcluze). Dr. Sankar talks with Robert A. Figlin, MD, the Steven Spielberg Family Chair in Hematology-Oncology also at Cedars-Sinai Cancer Center, about how to choose among osimertinib monotherapy, osimertinib plus chemotherapy, or amivantamab plus lazertinib. Without overall survival data available for all choices, Dr. Sankar explains how she and her patients decide which treatment is best, as well as how to consider sequential therapy after disease progression. Dr. Sankar reported no relevant financial relationships. Dr. Figlin reported various financial relationships.

    rivatization of Cancer Clinical Research Raises Concerns for Practice

    “Cancer clinical research has been largely privatized,” explains Joseph Unger, PhD, MS, associate professor in the cancer prevention program at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle. Dr. Unger and colleagues recently assessed patient enrollment in industry-sponsored and federally sponsored clinical trials. They found an 8:1 ratio favoring participation in research backed by industry. This raises significant concerns, he tells Robert A. Figlin, MD, the Steven Spielberg Family Chair in Hematology-Oncology at the Cedars-Sinai Cancer Center in Los Angeles. Dr. Unger explains what he sees as the root causes for the current imbalance, potential negative effects, and possible solutions for how to “rebalance the portfolio.” “I’m doing whatever I can to help illustrate what the issues are through my research,” he notes. Dr. Unger reported a consulting/advisory role with AstraZeneca and Loxo/Lilly. Dr. Figlin reported various financial relationships.

    What 3 Big Trials Mean for Breast Cancer Practice

    Treatment approaches for patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer have rapidly evolved, thanks in part to data from three key studies. Erin Frances Cobain, MD, associate professor at the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center in Ann Arbor, explains how findings from the KEYNOTE-756, monarchE, and NATALEE clinical trials are influencing decision-making for these patients. She and Robert A. Figlin, MD, the Steven Spielberg Family Chair in Hematology-Oncology at the Cedars-Sinai Cancer Center in Los Angeles, discuss the evolving role of immunotherapy and how to choose between CDK4/6 inhibitors, given the recent U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval of adjuvant ribociclib for patients with early breast cancer who are at high risk for recurrence. Dr. Cobain acknowledges that these and other findings have led to “challenging discussions,” even if those conversations are ultimately beneficial. Dr. Cobain reported various financial relationships. Dr. Figlin reported various financial relationships.

    “Confusing for All of Us”: Questions Arise Over ADCs, HER2 in Metastatic Breast Cancer

    Approvals of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) for metastatic breast cancer have introduced complex questions about HER2 expression. “It’s certainly been a changing landscape, which has been confusing for all of us,” explains Ian Krop, MD, PhD, director of the clinical trials office, chief clinical research officer, and associate director for clinical sciences at Yale Cancer Center in New Haven, Connecticut. He and Robert A. Figlin, MD, the Steven Spielberg Family Chair in Hematology-Oncology at the Cedars-Sinai Cancer Center in Los Angeles, discuss how oncologists should best approach HER2 testing, ADC sequencing, and toxicity concerns. When it comes to answering key questions, “We're a little data-poor in some ways because this is such a rapidly evolving field,” Dr. Krop explains. He also considers what’s next for ADCs in breast cancer, including the potential for those treatments to move into the curative early-disease setting. Dr. Krop reported various financial relationships.  Dr. Figlin reported various financial relationships.

    "Where Do We Go From Here?" Targeted Therapies Lead to Challenging Choices in Breast Cancer

    Newly approved targeted therapies for patients with advanced hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer are changing care. “We have an abundance of opportunities, but challenges with having to choose the right opportunity at the right time,” says Robert A. Figlin, MD, the Steven Spielberg Family Chair in Hematology-Oncology at the Cedars-Sinai Cancer Center in Los Angeles. Dr. Figlin discusses how to navigate new options with Manali Bhave, MD, a breast medical oncologist and assistant professor at the Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta. Dr. Bhave stresses that disease progression in breast cancer can’t be addressed with a one-size-fits- all option. “Where do we go from here? I think it is largely dependent on clinical factors, patient comorbidities, and even biomarker status,” she explains. Dr. Bhave and Dr. Figlin discuss recent developments in targeted therapies and important challenges. “We’ve come a long way in treating metastatic HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer as more of a chronic disease,” she says. Dr. Bhave reported consulting fees from Lilly, Novartis, and AstraZeneca. Dr. Figlin reported various financial relationships.

    After Practice Change in Unresectable Stage III NSCLC, Questions Remain

    Data on the use of durvalumab after chemoradiotherapy transformed the standard of care for patients with unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). “This is a real practice-changing observation from the PACIFIC trial,” said Robert A. Figlin, MD, the Steven Spielberg Family Chair in Hematology-Oncology at the Cedars-Sinai Cancer Center in Los Angeles. He recently spoke with Meghan Mooradian, MD, an instructor at Harvard Medical School in Boston, about her team’s recent research assessing the protocol established by the PACIFIC study. “We really are hoping for a cure,” she said in describing how she makes decisions related to the timing of durvalumab after chemoradiotherapy. Dr. Mooradian also addressed toxicity concerns and shared what she sees as lingering questions related to disease progression. “What should we really be using next?” she asked. Dr. Mooradian reported consulting or advisory roles with AstraZeneca, the Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation, Istari Oncology, Regeneron, and Xilio Therapeutics; and other relationships with Aptitude Health, Curio Science, DAVA Oncology, and OncLive/MJH Life Sciences. Dr. Figlin reported various financial relationships.
