Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyIbrutinib plus venetoclax in relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma (SYMPATICO): a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 study.
The combination of ibrutinib and venetoclax leverages complementary mechanisms of action and has shown promising clinical activity in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of ibrutinib-venetoclax compared with ibrutinib-placebo in patients with relapsed or refractory MCL. ⋯ Pharmacyclics (an AbbVie Company) and Janssen Research and Development.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyTiragolumab in combination with atezolizumab and bevacizumab in patients with unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (MORPHEUS-Liver): a randomised, open-label, phase 1b-2, study.
PD-L1 and VEGF blockade with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab has been shown to improve survival in unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. TIGIT is an immune checkpoint regulator implicated in many cancers, including unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. Here, we evaluate the clinical activity and safety of the addition of tiragolumab, an anti-TIGIT monoclonal antibody, to atezolizumab plus bevacizumab. ⋯ F Hoffmann-La Roche and Genentech.

ReviewManagement of immune checkpoint inhibitor-associated toxicities in older adults with cancer: recommendations from the International Society of Geriatric Oncology (SIOG).
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have substantially advanced the treatment landscape for a wide variety of malignancies. Older adults represent a large and rapidly growing demographic, among whom ICIs are widely prescribed. Management of ICI-associated toxicity among older adults, particularly in the presence of frailty and comorbidity, poses unique challenges. In this Policy Review, developed by the International Society of Geriatric Oncology (SIOG), we offer an evidence-based framework for health-care providers, caregivers, and policy makers for treating older adults with ICIs, focusing on unique considerations for this population that are not adequately addressed by existing guidelines, and expanding them to encompass geriatric oncology principles.
