Drs Jones and Somaiah discuss unmet needs in GIST that the Peak trial seeks to answer; the advantages of the methods and design of this trial; and how the tolerable safety profile of bezuclastinib plus sunitinib supports further research with this combination.

Dr Chuong discusses the evolution of MRI-guided radiation in the cancer treatment armamentarium, the benefits of the MRIdian SMART system, and how Miami Cancer Institute is leading the way with trainings to expand the use of this technology.

Dr Fonkoua discusses the ways in which common clinical trial enrollment criteria in oncology exclude patients from underrepresented groups, enrollment disparities that uniquely affect patients with liver cancer, and initiatives that Mayo Clinic is participating in to eliminate barriers to clinical trial enrollment.

Dr Minnema discusses the FDA approval of talquetamab in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, key data from the MonumenTAL-1 trial, and the importance of designing clinical trials to address unmet patient needs.

Dr Usmani discusses the integration of elranatamab, talquetamab, and telcistamab into the management of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, common adverse effects and recommended supportive care measures, and ongoing research that may help clarify their role in the paradigm.

Dr Kelley discusses standard first-line treatment options for patients with advanced HCC, key findings from the phase 3 HIMALAYA trial, and the safety profile of the STRIDE regimen in this population.

Dr Mirza discusses the FDA approval of dostarlimab plus chemotherapy in patients with dMMR/MSI-H primary advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer; key efficacy and safety findings from the RUBY trial, and ongoing research investigating the role of frontline immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with endometrial cancer.

Dr Sekeres discusses the FDA approval of quizartinib plus chemotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed, FLT3-ITD–positive AML, key efficacy and safety data from the QuANTUM-First trial, and how this quizartinib regimen addresses an unmet need for older patients in this population.

Dr Trent discusses the need for improved awareness around mutation testing in GIST, the limitations of current clinical trial criteria, and the potential for ctDNA to become a longitudinal cancer monitoring tool, helping to prevent invasive means of measuring disease progression.

Dr Bhatnagar discusses the prior and ongoing studies evaluating the addition of uproleselan to standard-of-care regimens for patients with AML, why uproleselan could affect the treatment paradigm across AML subtypes, and the rationale for pursuing minimal residual disease negativity as a clinical end point in AML.
