Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyRadiotherapy with cetuximab or durvalumab for locoregionally advanced head and neck cancer in patients with a contraindication to cisplatin (NRG-HN004): an open-label, multicentre, parallel-group, randomised, phase 2/3 trial.
Management of patients with locoregionally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) when cisplatin is contraindicated is controversial. We aimed to assess whether radiotherapy with concurrent and adjuvant durvalumab would improve outcomes compared with radiotherapy with cetuximab. ⋯ US National Cancer Institute and AstraZeneca.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyHyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy for recurrent ovarian cancer (CHIPOR): a randomised, open-label, phase 3 trial.
Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) at interval cytoreductive surgery for ovarian cancer improves overall survival but its role in recurrent disease is uncertain. We aimed to compare outcomes in patients treated with or without HIPEC during surgery for recurrent ovarian cancer. ⋯ French National Cancer Institute and French League Against Cancer.

Multicenter StudyValemetostat for patients with relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (VALENTINE-PTCL01): a multicentre, open-label, single-arm, phase 2 study.
Peripheral T-cell lymphomas are aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphomas with few treatment options for relapsed or refractory disease. Valemetostat tosylate (valemetostat) is a potent, novel, dual inhibitor of EZH2 and EZH1. We investigated the clinical activity and safety of valemetostat in patients with relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma, and its safety in patients with relapsed or refractory adult T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma. ⋯ Daiichi Sankyo.

Multicenter StudyAlpelisib plus fulvestrant in PIK3CA-mutated, hormone receptor-positive advanced breast cancer after a CDK4/6 inhibitor (BYLieve): one cohort of a phase 2, multicentre, open-label, non-comparative study.
Alpelisib, a PI3Kα-selective inhibitor and degrader, plus fulvestrant showed efficacy in hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative, PIK3CA-mutated advanced breast cancer in SOLAR-1; limited data are available in the post-cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitor setting. BYLieve aimed to assess alpelisib plus endocrine therapy in this setting in three cohorts defined by immediate previous treatment; here, we report results from cohort A. ⋯ Novartis Pharmaceuticals.

Multicenter StudyShort-course hypofractionated proton beam therapy, incorporating 18F-DOPA PET and contrast-enhanced MRI targeting, for patients aged 65 years and older with newly diagnosed glioblastoma: a single-arm phase 2 trial.
Older patients (aged ≥65 years) with glioblastoma have a worse prognosis than younger patients and a median overall survival of 6-9 months. 3,4-Dihydroxy-6-[18F]fluoro-L-phenylalanine (18F-DOPA) PET sensitively and specifically identifies metabolically active glioblastoma for preferential targeting. Proton beam therapy potentially improves quality of life (QOL) by sparing more healthy brain tissue than photon radiotherapy. With improved targeting and the dosimetric advantages of proton beam therapy, we aimed to test whether hypofractionated proton beam therapy could improve survival and QOL in older patients with glioblastoma. ⋯ Mayo Clinic Marley Endowment Funds and the Lawrence W and Marilyn W Matteson Fund in Cancer Research.
