Key points from ESMOGI24 by Arndt Vogel
ESMO GI 2024 is held in Munich, Germany, and online from June 26-29. Organized by the European Society for Medical Oncology, the event presents new data in GI oncology, alongside educational sessions and networking opportunities. The congress aims to highlight recent advancements in GI cancer treatment and ensure their clinical implementation. It also provides global visibility for original clinical and translational research..
Arndt Vogel shared a few highlights from this conference, on X:
- IMbrave150
- similar efficacy
- but poor outcome in high risk patients
- 20% ≥Gr3° GI bleeding with AB in VP4
risk-benefit ratio favours treatment.“/Article/
Phase I study of the PKMYT1 inhibitor lunresertib in combination with FOLFIRI in advanced GI cancers
MINOTAUR study
Interesting MOA, for 20% of pts w/ CCCN1 amp or mFBXW7
>synthetically lethality
acceptable safety, ‘promising’ efficacy
