“Efficacy and safety of fruquintinib in patients with refractory metastatic colorectal cancer with and without liver metastasis: A subgroup analysis of the phase 3 FRESCO-2 trial​​​​“ (DGHO 2025)
P3 | "These data demonstrate that fruquintinib consistently improved OS vs P in pts with previously treated mCRC with and without liver mets at baseline. Fruquintinib is an effective and tolerable treatment option for pts with mCRC regardless of liver mets.Previously presented at ESMO 2024; Final Publication Number: 520P; Rocio Garcia-Carbonero et al. Reused with permission."

“Fruquintinib plus best supportive care for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer: characterization of patients who had an overall survival of ≥10 months in the FRESCO-2 study​​​​“ (DGHO 2025)
P3 | "Pts had received prior chemotherapy, anti-VEGF therapy and, if RAS wild type, anti-EGFR therapy; and had prior exposure to trifluridine/tipiracil (TAS-102) and/or regorafenib. Longer-term OS and PFS rates at 6 and 9 mos were higher with F vs P in the FRESCO-2 ITT pop. A higher proportion of pts with OS ≥10 mos had no liver mets and ECOG PS 0 at BL vs the ITT pop. The safety profile of F in pts with OS ≥10 mos was consistent with the ITT pop"

Real world outcomes of asciminib in relapsed/refractory Philadelphia chromosome positive B-ALL and blast Phase CML (ASH 2025)
"While its efficacy is wellestablished in chronic-phase CML, the real-world data on its use in relapsed/refractory (r/r) B-ALL andblast-phase CML (CML-BP), particularly among patients who are ponatinib-refractory or those withcomplex resistance mutations remains underexplored.MethodsWe performed a retrospective analysis of adult patients with either B-ALL or CML-BP who receivedasciminib at our institution between November 1, 2021, and March 30, 2025. While higher dosing may be effectivein overcoming specific mutations, it could also contribute to the emergence of additional resistancemutations. These findings underscore the need for prospective studies to optimize dosing strategies,sequencing, and resistance monitoring."

Real-world clinical outcomes with novel agent combination therapies for the frontline treatment of pediatric and adult advanced-stage Hodgkin lymphoma (ASH 2025)
"Introduction:Brentuximab vedotin (BV) and nivolumab (N) have resulted in significant progress in the treatment ofadvanced-stage Hodgkin lymphoma (AS-HL). The SWOG 1826 trial demonstrated a progression-freesurvival (PFS) and safety benefit with frontline N-AVD (doxorubicin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine)compared to BV-AVD; however, real-world data are limited...This large real-world multicenter study demonstrates that response rates and 1-yr survival outcomes withN-AVD and BV-AVD are similar to the published SWOG 1826 trial (N-AVD vs BV-AVD: 1-yr PFS: 94% vs 86%,Herrera et al. 2024). Increased cardiovascular AEs, dose reductions/omissions and neuropathy with BV-AVD indicate better tolerability with N-AVD; however, the higher rate of febrile neutropenia andinfections in comparison to SWOG 1826 in N-AVD pts suggests that growth factor prophylaxis may bebeneficial in select high-risk subgroups."
