Reporting remotely on findings presented at AACR 2020 Virtual Meeting, Lajos Pusztai comments on important breast cancer studies.
He firstly presents results from the I-SPY 2 trial evaluating the addition of olaparib to immune checkpoint inhibitors in high-risk, HER2-negative, locally advanced breast cancer. He then comments on two presentations of the EMBRACA trial on the effect of talazoparib on overall survival in patients with advanced, HER2-negative breast cancer with a germline BRAC1/2 mutation, and on the impact of tumour BRCA zygosity and genomic loss-of-heterozygosity as a biomarker for patient selection.
