TPS3678 Background: Advanced and metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) remains an area of significant unmet clinical need, particularly for patients with MSS/MSI-L tumors. In recent years, there have been several advancements in the treatment of solid tumors with T cell engagers. Our ATLAS scRNA-seq based discovery platform identified LY6G6D as a highly-specific tumor-associated antigen in advanced and metastatic CRC. CBI-1214, a CD3 bispecific T cell engager targeting LY6G6D with potent in vitro and in vivo activity even at low LY6G6D expression levels of ~300 copies/cell ( Yigit B et al, AACR 2025 ), is being developed for the treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic MSS/MSI-L CRC. Methods: This ongoing, open-label FIH study (CBI-1214-001) is being conducted to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and anti-tumor activity of CBI-1214 and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or optimal biological dose (OBD) in participants with advanced or metastatic MSS/MSI-L CRC who have exhausted at least one prior line of systemic treatment and do not qualify for available targeted treatment options for actionable genomic alterations. Additional eligibility criteria include: at least 18 years of age, measurable disease (as defined by RECIST v1.1), available archival tumor tissue sample or a fresh tumor sample, ECOG PS 0 or 1, as well as adequate hematologic and organ functions. Patients whose CRC tumor tissues have been identified as dMMR or MSI-H are excluded. The study is conducted in two parts: Part 1 dose escalation, which starts with Part 1a as accelerated dose escalation, followed by Part 1b escalation, which is based on a modified toxicity probability interval (mTPI-2) design, and Part 2, which is designed as a randomized dose optimization study to select the final recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). For both parts of the study, the study intervention is administered as monotherapy, given as an intravenous (IV) infusion, in 21-day treatment cycles, with a step-up option. After an up-to-28-day screening period, eligible patients receive study medication and are followed for their entire treatment period plus a follow-up period of approximately 90 days. The study is open for recruitment in the United States (NCT07321106). Clinical trial information: NCT07321106 .

Abstract Background Several bispecific antibodies (BsAbs), including mosunetuzumab, glofitamab, and epcoritamab, are approved for non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). However, real-world patient-centered data evaluating treatment-related time burden and preferences are lacking. Methods We conducted an online survey of 120 patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma (FL; N = 60) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL; N = 60) receiving BsAbs. Participants reported all-cause healthcare visits and time spent on cancer-related healthcare resource utilization over the past 30 days, including travel, treatment administration, recovery, and impact on daily activities. Participants also evaluated two hypothetical treatment profiles to assess preference for fixed-duration versus treat-to-progression therapy. Results Participants with FL reported a mean of 2.5 healthcare visits in the past 30 days, with significantly fewer visits for mosunetuzumab versus epcoritamab (1.7 vs 3.3, respectively; P < .01). In DLBCL, the mean was 2.6 visits, with fewer visits for glofitamab versus epcoritamab (2.2 vs 3.0; P =.01). Although epcoritamab visits were shorter in FL, more frequent visits and longer recovery time resulted in significantly lower monthly time burden with mosunetuzumab versus epcoritamab (31.2 vs 61.9 hours; P < .05). Similarly, monthly time burden was also lower with glofitamab than epcoritamab in DLBCL (43.0 vs 87.7 hours; P < .05). Most participants reported little to moderate impact on daily activities. Across treatment groups, ≥92% preferred a hypothetical fixed-duration regimen over a treat-to-progression therapy. Conclusion Our real-world data, including novel aspects of time toxicity, demonstrate clinically meaningful differences in time burden associated with BsAbs and emphasize the importance of incorporating patient convenience and preference into shared decision-making in NHL.

This multicenter, single-arm, phase 1/2 study evaluated the safety and efficacy of CD19-directed allogeneic chimeric-antigen-receptor (CAR) immunotherapy CTX110 in adult patients with relapsed/refractory (r/r) B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Patients received 1 or 2 treatment courses: standard lymphodepletion, followed by 1 CTX110 infusion at dose levels (DLs) 1-4 (3-60 × 107 CAR T-cells; dose escalation, N=32), or 2 infusions at DL4 on days 1 and 35 (cohort expansion, N=31). Primary endpoints in dose escalation and cohort expansion were incidence of dose-limiting toxicities and objective response rate, respectively. CTX110 was administered to 63 heavily pretreated patients: 59% primary refractory, 43% with ≥3 prior treatment lines. Among 57 patients whose first infusion was DL≥3, rates of objective and complete response (CR) were 65% and 39%, respectively. Among 22 patients achieving CR, 5 (23%) had ongoing CR at data cutoff, with 15-50 (median 34) months follow-up. The 2-infusion regimen appeared to prolong response duration compared to 1 infusion (hazard ratio 0.65). Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) were reported in 54% and 13% of treated patients, respectively, including 2 grade ≥3 cases each. The most common grade ≥3 adverse events were neutropenia (59%), and anemia and thrombocytopenia (35% each). Serious adverse events occurred in 32% of treated patients, including CRS (14%), ICANS (8%), and febrile neutropenia (6%). In this r/r NHL population, CTX110 was well-tolerated, resulting in clinically meaningful responses at DL≥3, with a second infusion demonstrating evidence of further clinical benefit. This trial (NCT04035434) was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov.

Abstract Background: In Part 2 of the phase 2 RELATIVITY-104 study of first-line nivolumab (NIVO) plus relatlimab (RELA) with platinum-doublet chemotherapy (PDCT) vs NIVO + PDCT in patients with metastatic NSCLC, NIVO + RELA + PDCT demonstrated improved clinical benefit, including overall survival, in the prespecified subgroup of tumor PD-L1 expression ≥ 1%, which was further enriched in NSQ tumor histology. Baseline lymphocyte-activation gene 3 (LAG-3) expression was associated with enriched efficacy for both NIVO + RELA + PDCT and NIVO + PDCT. In a comparative transcriptomic analysis, NSQ and squamous tumors demonstrated distinct immune signatures, with NSQ tumors exhibiting higher expression of LAG-3 ligands and greater enrichment for combination therapy benefit by PD-L1 expression. To further elucidate the mechanism of action of NIVO + RELA + PDCT, we report additional exploratory translational data in the PD-L1 ≥ 1% NSQ subgroup for Part 2 of RELATIVITY-104. Methods: Patients with untreated metastatic NSCLC were randomized 1:1 to NIVO 360 mg + RELA 360 mg + PDCT or NIVO 360 mg + PDCT Q3W. Exploratory endpoints included translational analyses in the PD-L1 ≥ 1% NSQ subgroup. Gene expression data from pretreatment tumor RNA sequencing were normalized and analyzed for associations with clinical outcomes. Pre- and on-treatment peripheral blood samples were collected for high-dimensional flow cytometry immunophenotyping using a validated 24-marker LAG-3-specific panel that used drug-tolerant, noncompeting clones for LAG-3, PD-1, and CTLA-4. Statistical associations between biomarkers and clinical outcomes were assessed using logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards models. Data are from the May 2, 2025, database lock. Results: In the NIVO + RELA + PDCT arm, immune signatures demonstrated a significantly lower hazard ratio (HR) in the PD-L1 ≥ 1% NSQ subgroup, while stromal signatures demonstrated a significantly higher HR. T exhausted progenitor signature subsets, as well as ICOS+ CD4+ T cells, at baseline were shown to enrich for survival with NIVO + RELA + PDCT. Clinical benefit was observed across all baseline LAG-3 expression levels (< 1% and ≥ 1%); however, on-treatment increases in LAG-3+ T cells were associated with longer progression-free survival and a higher objective response rate with NIVO + RELA + PDCT. In the NIVO + PDCT arm, increases in LAG-3 cell populations were associated with lower response. Conclusions: In the RELATIVITY-104 study, the on-treatment immune dynamics of LAG-3+ T cells correlated with the benefit of NIVO + RELA + PDCT vs NIVO + PDCT in patients with PD-L1 expression ≥ 1% and NSQ NSCLC. Immune signatures including progenitor T exhausted signatures associated with improved outcomes with NIVO + RELA + PDCT. These data support the mechanistic rationale for adding anti-LAG-3 to anti-PD-1 + PDCT in PD-L1 ≥ 1% NSQ NSCLC.

ABSTRACT Purpose Malignant rhabdoid tumor of the kidney (MRTK) is a rare, aggressive tumor seen in young children. The optimal timing of resection for locally advanced tumors is not well‐defined. The purpose of this study is to evaluate modern oncologic outcomes and the impact of surgical timing. Methods A multicenter retrospective review was performed by institutions participating in the Pediatric Surgical Oncology Research Collaborative. Children younger than 21 years old with MRTK diagnosed between 2000 and 2022 were included. Results Sixty‐nine patients were identified with MRTK and met the inclusion criteria. Median age of diagnosis was 10.1 months. Overall survival (OS) at 1, 5, and 10 years was 49%, 32%, and 19%, respectively. Patients with local Stage III disease who underwent upfront resection ( n = 18) compared to those who had delayed resection after NAT ( n = 15) had a similar OS, median OS greater than 60 months versus 14.6 months, respectively; p = 0.396. The surgical timing groups were balanced in terms of the presence of metastasis, length of follow‐up, and tumor characteristics. There was one occurrence of primary intraoperative tumor spill and two occurrences of organ injury in the upfront resection group compared to none in the delayed resection group. Conclusion MRTK carries a poor prognosis despite multimodal treatment. Histologic diagnosis may not be confirmed at presentation, and MRTK cannot be reliably distinguished from Wilms tumor on imaging alone. As overall survival is similar, the decision regarding surgical timing in locally advanced tumors should be individualized based on perceived resectability, balancing the risk of intraoperative complications against the possibility of tumor progression during neoadjuvant therapy.

Objective Age of symptom onset is highly variable in familial frontotemporal lobar degeneration (f‐FTLD). Accurate prediction of onset would inform clinical management and trial enrollment. Prior studies indicate that individualized maps of brain atrophy can predict conversion to dementia in f‐FTLD. We used a Bayesian linear mixed‐effect (BLME) prediction method for identifying accelerated brain volume loss to predict conversion to dementia. Methods Participants included 234 asymptomatic or prodromal carriers of C9orf72 , GRN , or MAPT mutations (including 21 dementia converters) with ≥3 longitudinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) T1‐weighted scans. The BLME models established individual voxel‐wise gray matter trajectories using the first 2 scans. Person‐specific clusters of accelerated volume loss were estimated in subsequent scans and tested as predictors of dementia conversion compared with other approaches in time‐varying Cox proportional hazard models covarying for age. Receiver‐operating characteristic (ROC) curves estimated utility of cluster volume in discriminating which participants converted to dementia within 24 months. Results The BLME cluster volume predicted conversion to dementia in f‐FTLD mutation carriers overall and separately in C9orf72 , GRN , and MAPT , with comparable hazard ratios observed for atrophy W‐maps and regional volumes. Within a 24‐month timeframe, BLME cluster volume discriminated dementia converters from non‐converters with larger areas under the curve (AUCs) than other approaches. Interpretation Bayesian‐modeled individualized atrophy scores predict dementia progression among asymptomatic f‐FTLD mutation carriers and may have increased utility compared with other structural imaging methods when studying individuals over shorter timeframes that align with clinical trial design.

The Concise Guide to Pharmacology 2025/26 marks the seventh edition in this series of biennial publications in the British Journal of Pharmacology. Presented in landscape format, the guide provides a comparative overview of the pharmacology of drug target families. The concise nature of the Concise Guide refers to the style of presentation, being clear, accessible, and well‐structured, rather than the scope of the content, which spans approximately 500 pages. The Concise Guide summarises the key pharmacological properties of around 1900 human drug targets, and nearly 7000 interactions, involving around 4400 ligands. While the content is a substantially condensed version of the more detailed information and links available at the www.guidetopharmacology.org website, the printed guide serves as a permanent, citable, point‐in‐time record, that remains stable despite ongoing updates to the online database. The full contents of this publication can be found at https://bpspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/bph.70233 . The Concise Guides provide expert‐curated recommendations of ‘Gold Standard’ selective pharmacological tools, available either commercially or as donations, which enable the identification of individual drug targets or families of drug targets. While the Concise Guide offers a more streamlined overview, more comprehensive information, including detailed pharmacological profiles and links to multiple online databases, is available through the Guide to Pharmacology website. The 2025/26 edition of the Concise Guide is based on material current as of mid‐2025, and supersedes all previous editions, including the 2023/24 Guide, and earlier Guides to Receptors and Channels. It is produced in close conjunction with the Nomenclature and Standards Committee of the International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology (NC‐IUPHAR), and as such provides official IUPHAR classification and nomenclature for human drug targets, where applicable. Catalytic receptors are one of the six major pharmacological targets into which the Guide is divided, with the others being: G protein‐coupled receptors, ion channels, nuclear hormone receptors, enzymes and transporters. Each section includes nomenclature guidance, concise summaries, information of the best available pharmacological tools, key references, and suggestions for further reading.

Abstract Background Several BsAbs with different treatment (Tx) approaches have been approved by the FDA for Tx of lymphoma, including: fixed-duration and less frequently dosed mosunetuzumab (mosun) and glofitamab (glofit) (Option 1 Tx approach); and treat to progression and more frequently dosed epcoritamab (epcor) (Option 2 Tx approach). Differences in Tx approaches have implications for time spent receiving care, known as “time toxicity”. We previously reported that mosun and glofit were associated with about 2 weeks lower time toxicity vs epcor over the first year in R/R FL and DLBCL, based on registrational trial protocols (Torka et al. Blood 2024; Ma et al. Value in Health 2025). In this study, we assessed time toxicity from the perspective of patients (pts) receiving BsAbs for R/R FL or DLBCL. Methods An online survey was conducted aiming for input from 120 pts with R/R FL or DLBCL, who have received BsAb for ≥1 month in the US. Time toxicity was measured by pts recalling time spent on healthcare contacts related to BsAb Tx, cancer management, and any other reasons in the past 30 days. Pts' preferences were assessed through direct elicitation of choice between 2 hypothetical Tx profiles with different Tx approaches and time toxicity, assuming the same efficacy and safety. The survey was pre-tested and refined based on input from 3 BsAb pts with R/R DLBCL to ensure relevance and comprehension. Descriptive analyses were performed on pts characteristics, mean and standard deviation (SD) of time spent per pt per month, and the proportion of pts preferring the convenience of different Tx profiles. Results At this interim analysis, 101 pts receiving BsAbs responded to the survey: 48 pts with R/R FL (mosun n=28; epcor n=20) and 53 pts with R/R DLBCL (glofit n=32; epcor n=21). Most pts with R/R FL lived in urban/suburban areas (87.5% vs 12.5% in rural areas) and had a shorter one-way travel time to receive care vs pts in rural areas (mean±SD: 28.2±13.5 vs 60.3±30.2 minutes). The median age was 58 years for both mosun and epcor. Mean±SD Tx duration was 6.2±1.8 months for mosun vs 4.5±1.3 months for epcor. In the past 30 days, pts on mosun had fewer BsAb Tx visits vs epcor (mean±SD: 1.0±0.2 vs 2.0±1.2), and fewer all-cause healthcare contacts vs epcor (mean±SD: 1.7±0.8 vs 3.5±2.0). The mean±SD time spent per BsAb Tx visit was 5.0±1.4 hours for mosun vs 3.8±1.8 hours for epcor. Less time was spent per pt per month on recovery at home after Tx visit for mosun vs epcor (22.7±16.5 vs 43.2±47.6 hours). Less time was spent per pt per month on Tx and cancer management for mosun vs epcor (mean±SD: 30.5±16.9 vs 56.9±59.3 hours). Most pts with R/R DLBCL lived in urban/suburban areas (88.7% vs 11.5% in rural areas) and had a shorter one-way travel time to receive care vs pts in rural areas (mean±SD: 31.4±14.1 vs 103.3±19.4 minutes). The median age was 67 years for glofit and 66 years for epcor. The mean±SD Tx duration was 6.1±2.0 months for glofit vs 5.9±1.8 months for epcor. In the last 30 days, pts on glofit had fewer BsAb Tx visits vs epcor (mean±SD: 1.1±0.2 vs 1.7±0.5), and fewer all-cause healthcare contacts vs epcor (mean±SD: 2.2±1.3 vs 3.0±1.1). Irrespective of the route of administration, the time spent per BsAb Tx visit was similar (mean±SD: 5.1±1.6 hours for mosun; 5.6±1.2 hours for epcor). Less time was spent per pt per month on recovery at home after Tx visit for glofit vs epcor (mean±SD: 34.3±23.8 vs 69.3±39.4 hours). Less time was spent per pt per month on Tx visits and cancer management for glofit vs epcor (mean±SD: 43.0±25.9 vs 85.0±44.2 hours). Regardless of which BsAb pts received, most pts (93%) preferred the convenience of Option 1 Tx approach with less time required over Option 2 Tx approach with more time required. Conclusions This is the first study to directly measure pt-reported time toxicity from pts with R/R FL and DLBCL receiving BsAbs in a real-world setting. Fixed-duration less frequently dosed mosun and glofit (Option 1 Tx approach) had less pt-reported time toxicity, with less healthcare contact and less time spent per pt per month vs treat to progression more frequently dosed epcor (Option 2 Tx approach). Over 90% of pts preferred the convenience of a fixed-duration, less frequently dosed, and less time required Tx option, suggesting that time toxicity is a significant factor in shared Tx decision-making for pts with R/R FL and DLBCL. Analysis is ongoing to comprehensively measure pt-reported time toxicity.

Abstract Background: MyeloMATCH is an NCI-sponsored initiative for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) employing a Master Screening and Reassessment Protocol (MSRP) to assign patients (pts) to a pt and disease biology-specific clinical trial. Several trials evaluating initial therapies are currently open, while subsequent trials dedicated to eradicating measurable residual disease during consolidation and including stem cell transplant are being developed. A pt enrolled at diagnosis may be followed longitudinally and be eligible for trials in sequential tiers throughout the treatment course. We report key data concerning the first cohort of pts enrolled on the MSRP. Methods: After pts with suspected AML or MDS consent for the MSRP, blood and marrow are sent to the myeloMATCH Molecular Diagnostics Network (MDNet) of central CLIA labs operating under a single Investigational Device Exemption to rapidly define molecular, cytogenetic, and immunophenotypic characteristics. These data are catalogued by a bioinformatics team (MATCHBox) and reviewed daily to assign participants to an available trial based on pt and disease features. A Tier Advancement Pathway (TAP) allows standard of care therapy with potential for assignment to subsequent myeloMATCH trials. Since activation in May 2024, 550 patients age≥18 were enrolled on the MSRP from 76 institutions: 48 Academic, 14 NCORP, 11 community, 3 VA. There are currently 4 open randomized AML trials (≥age 60 or unfit with mutant FLT3, ≥age 60 IDH2 mutant AML, fit age<60 ELN 2017 intermediate-risk AML, fit age<60 ELN 2017 adverse risk) and 1 MDS trial(IDH2 mutant). Patients not eligible for an open protocol were assigned to TAP. Results: Of the 550 pts consented, 491 completed screening assays; 49 had no or incomplete samples; 10 withdrew before completed analysis. Median cytogenetic turnaround time (TAT) was 69 hours (91% within 72 hours), and median Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) TAT from receipt was 49 hours (95% within 72 hours). Seventy-six pts (of 491 with assay data) were not assigned due to non-AML or non-MDS diagnoses, the most common being: B-ALL [n=11], MPN [9], benign marrow [9], APML [7], and MPAL [6]. The AML/MDS verified cohort was 415 pts, 366 (89.2%) patients with AML (45% age <60) and 49 (11.8%) with MDS. The median age at screening was 63 years (range:18-95) and 186 (45%) were female. Eighty-two percent identified as White, 7.5% Black, 3% Asian, 7% unknown, and 9% as Hispanic. The most frequent mutations in the AML pts were NPM1 (24.0%), DNMT3A (22.7%), TET2 (19.9%), NRAS (18.0%), FLT3 (18.0% ITD, TKD 7.1%), TP53 (14.5%), and CEBPA (8.7%); IDH1/2 mutation rates were 8.2% and 13.7%, respectively. Co-mutations include FLT3/NPM1 (9.8%), NPM1/IDH2 (4.4%), IDH1/2 and any RAS (3.8%). Karyotypes were normal in 40.4%, complex 20.8%, inv(16) 6.0%, MLL/KMT2A 4.6% and t(8;21) 1.9%. 29% had favorable risk disease, 29% intermediate, and 42% adverse (ELN 2017). In MDS, mutations included: TP53 (36.7%), RUNX1 (20.4%) ASXL1 (20.4%), TET2 (18.4%), spliceosome mutations (SRSF2, SF3B1, U2AF1 and ZRSR2, 28.6%) andIDH1/2 in 4.1% and 6.1%, respectively. Karyotypes were normal in 24.5%; complex in 40.8%. By IPSS-R, 2.4% were low, 73.8% intermediate, 2.4% high, and 21.4% very high risk. 82/415 (20%) pts were assigned to initial therapy protocol, with an increase in assignment rate to 44% in the most recent two months. 71/415 pts (16%) were enrolled in one of the MyeloMATCH studies. Three-hundred forty-four pts (80%) were assigned and enrolled to TAP (296 AML, 48 MDS) for potential assignment to subsequent tier trials. In the TAP AML pts, 99 (33%) have completed initial treatment, including intensive chemotherapy (IC) in 62% of pts and hypomethylating agents/venetoclax (HMA/VEN) in 38%. In pts <60 years of age, 87% received IC v. 13% with HMA/VEN, in >60 34% IC v. 66% HMA/VEN and in age 60-75 42% IC v. 58% HMA/Ven. Conclusion: MyeloMATCH has screened over 500 pts from academic and community sites in the US and Canada in 14 months, meeting the TAT goal of sample acquisition to results of <72 hours. Assignment to treatment protocols has substantially increased recently. As additional trials open (12 in development) we expect the percentage of pts enrolled on MSRP who go on to therapeutic trials will markedly increase, thereby allowing a personalized medicine approach for a broad group of US and Canadian adult pts with AML and MDS.
