Clinical takeaways: 

  • NATALEE trial has reached primary end point (iDFS) in interim analysis, supporting the potential role of ribociclib to improve outcomes for patients with stage II or III, HR+/HER2- early breast cancer at high risk of recurrence. Further follow up needed to confirm the benefit

  • The SONIA trial challenges current CDK4/6 inhibition sequencing strategies for patients with HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer. Results suggest the use of CDK4/6i in first line treatment does not improve PFS2, OS or QoL but does increase toxicities, costs and treatment exposure when compared to second line 

  • TROPiCS-02 trial results reinforce the role of sacituzumab govitecan (SG) for chemo-refractory patients with HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer. The study reports a significant OS improvement when using SG compared to chemotherapy, irrespective of HER2-low status or Trop2 expression

Alexey V. Danilov, MD, PhD, is a Professor of Medicine at the City of Hope National Medical Center, in Los Angeles, CA. He earned his medical degree and PhD at Yaroslavl State Medical Academy in Russia and completed a fellowship in hematology/oncology at Tufts Medical Center, in Boston, Massachusetts. Dr Danilov runs an independently funded clinical/translational program in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) that bridges the understanding of B-cell biology with early clinical evaluation of novel therapeutics. He spearheads a translational and early-phase therapeutics effort in B-cell malignancies at the Knight Cancer Institute. In the laboratory, he focuses on targeting stromal-mediated pro-survival signaling in lymphoid malignancies. He has characterized promising therapeutic agents with regard to their mechanism of action and resistance, ushering them into early-phase clinical trials in CLL and NHL. He seeks to translate his findings to clinical care by developing protocols that advance current treatment paradigms. His work has received support from the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Lymphoma Research Foundation, the National Cancer Institute, and the Southwest Oncology Group, among other funding organizations.
