“Dear colleagues,
Our group is happy to announce the publication of the IKF-633/DANTE trial (phase 2 portion) in Journal of Clinical Oncology by Sylvie Lorenzen, Prof Dr Thorsten Götze, and colleagues. Adding the PD-L1 antibody atezolizumab to FLOT chemotherapy for patients with localized esophagogastric adenocarcinoma undergoing perioperative therapy significantly improved complete path response rates from 15% to 24% and increased down-staging after surgery with pN0 from 54% to 68%. DANTE marks the first major trial fully published on checkpoint inhibition in this context. The ongoing phase III portion is concentrating on patients with a high likelihood of responding to immunotherapy, such as those with PD-L1 positivity, MSI high status, or a high tumor mutation burden.
The study was conducted by
IKF – The Frankfurt Institute of Clinical Cancer Research
Under the labels of:
Working Group on Internal Oncology (AIO) of German Cancer Society (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Internistische Onkologie in der DKG)
Thank you very much for the support provided by
Roche, Roche Germany.”
