RLY2608 is a mutant specific PIK3CA inhibitor sparing Wildtype Receptor. 2nd line PFS >11 months with fulvestrant. Improved safety profile with low grade hyperglycemia, no rash, diarrhea, or oral sores. Hoping this one moves forward! #SABCS24 @oncoalert.bsky.social @oncbrothers.bsky.social
🩸🧬Exciting update! LB-RECIST introduces a new era for evaluating tumor response using liquid biopsy addressing limits of imaging in solid tumors. A step toward precision oncology! @oncoalert.bsky.social @christianrolfo.bsky.social @viveksubbiah.bsky.social www.annalsofoncology.org/action/showP...
Wrapping up another fantastic #SABCS! Amazing, practice-changing data were presented. I’ve updated the algorithms and added key studies from the meeting— I finally ran out of space in HR+ disease! #SABCS24 @oncoalert.bsky.social
Dr. Turner presents #ZEST adj study of MRD in pts with HR + w/ BRCA & TNBC all comers w/ niraparib as intervention 147 had ctDNA+, only 40 randomized Rad recurrence assoc w/ ⬆️ ctDNA level RFI 5.4 -> 11.4 mo w/ niraparib #SABCS24 @sabcs.bsky.social @oncoalert.bsky.social
PRACTICE CHANGING findings from PATINA presented by Dr. Metzger from @dfcibreastonc.bsky.social - n=518 HR+/HER2+ mBC - all received THP followed by HP+ET +/- palbo - PFS was 29 vs 44 months with palbo - Tox consistent with prior studies
Great discussion of novel biomarkers and HER2-targeted TKIs by @ptarantinomd.bsky.social @dfcibreastonc.bsky.social
Stellar discussion by Dr Burstein on the important findings of EMBER-3 presented by Dr Jhaveri Some important clinical questions: ❓how to incorporate these findings in clinic - with the approval of inavo-? ❓are we ready for ADC post ADC? ❓how to sequence these agents?
#EMBER3 Imlunestrant (oral SERD) beats fulv (88% of SOC ET) in 2nd line ER+ #bcsm only in those with ESR1 mut However, combo of Imlunestrant + abema wins in all-comers 5.5 vs. 9.5 mo regardless of ESR1 * note prior CDK not required #SABCS24 @sabcs.bsky.social @oncoalert.bsky.social
Outstanding spotlight poster discussion by Thomas Grinda from Gustave Roussy. Promising results with the 1L combination of chemo, IO and VEGF blockade for mTNBC. Will the inclusion of IO in the combo change the story of VEGF, previously thought not to improve long-term outcomes for breast cancer?
Practice change ALERT in the POST-CDK4/6 HR+, HER2- space.
The selective estrogen-receptor degrader imlunestrant plus abemaciclib led to a median progression-free survival of 9.4 months among patients with ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer (vs. 5.5 months with imlunestrant alone). Full EMBER-3 trial results: nej.md/4fZ74HX #MedSky #SABCS24
We're kicking off the first day of our LIVE coverage of #SABCS24 with expert insights from @ilanaschlam.bsky.social of @danafarber.bsky.social, who will be taking over the @OncLive X and Bluesky🦋 accounts to cover this evening's sessions! Be sure to tune in! @sabcs.bsky.social #bcsm #oncology

Updated treatment algorithms for breast cancer now include adjuvant ribociclib and inavolisib, along with key trial names. Thrilled to see we're truly running out of space in HR+ disease—progress is here, with much more to come for all breast cancer subtypes!
Only 3 weeks to #SABCS24, a meeting that promises to significantly impact the way we treat breast cancer. It will feature phase 3 data with novel SERDs, novel ADCs, immunotherapy, ctDNA monitoring, important biomarker analyses & so much more. Here’s my top 10 abstracts list— see you in San Antonio!
