Odronextamab, a CD20×CD3 bispecific antibody, demonstrated robust efficacy and durable responses, with a generally manageable safety profile, in patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma (FL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in the Phase 2 ELM-2 study. This exploratory analysis evaluated the prognostic value of minimal residual disease (MRD) status and tumor molecular profiles, based on circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis, for determining patient outcomes in ELM-2. Baseline and on-treatment ctDNA samples were used for MRD evaluation (AVENIO Oncology Assay Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Test); baseline ctDNA samples were also used for molecular profiling. At data cutoff (March 24, 2025), the Cycle 4 Day 15 (C4D15) biomarker population with available ctDNA results comprised 60 patients with FL and 77 patients with DLBCL. Undetectable ctDNA at C4D15 was associated with prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) in the FL (hazard ratio [HR] 0.31, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.14-0.67) and DLBCL (HR 0.42, 95% CI: 0.24-0.75) cohorts. Combining undetectable ctDNA with achievement of PET-CT complete response at C4D15 was associated with extended PFS in both cohorts. Among patients with progressive disease per Lugano criteria, most had detectable ctDNA at C4D15 (FL, 15/19; DLBCL, 28/35). In the DLBCL cohort, LymphGen analysis by ctDNA showed that the MCD subtype trended towards shorter PFS, whereas the EZB subtype trended towards longer PFS, versus the rest of the cohort. MRD by ctDNA may be prognostic of outcomes with odronextamab in FL/DLBCL and could form the basis of response-guided treatment paradigms. This trial is registered at www.ClinicalTrials.gov as NCT03888105.

Introduction: Patients with advanced solid tumors may be considered for early phase clinical trials investigating the safety, tolerability, and dosing of experimental therapies. Optimizing participant selection is critical to maximize clinical benefit and meet trial endpoints with fewer participants. One in six participants does not meet routine life expectancy requirements (>3 months), highlighting the need for improved prognostication.

Objectives: Despite advances, lung cancer treatment remains associated with substantial toxicity. Early-phase clinical trials inform the safety and efficacy of novel lung cancer treatments. Although older adults represent most patients with lung cancer, and they are underrepresented in phase 3 trials, age disparity in early-phase lung cancer trials is ill-defined.

Background: Current aftercare in breast cancer survivors aims to detect local recurrences or contralateral disease, while the detection of distant metastases has not been a central focus due to a lack of evidence supporting an effect on overall survival. However, the data underpinning these guidelines are mainly from trials of the 1980s/1990s and have not been updated to reflect the significant advancements in diagnostic and therapeutic options that have emerged over the past 40 years. In this trial, the aim is to test whether a liquid biopsy-based detection of (oligo-) metastatic disease at an early pre-symptomatic stage followed by timely treatment can impact overall survival compared to current standard aftercare.

Introduction Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are a rare and heterogeneous group of neoplasms with both clinical and genetic diversity. The clinical applicability of molecular profiling using liquid biopsy for identifying actionable drug targets and prognostic indicators in patients with advanced NETs remains unclear. Methods In this study, we utilized a custom-made 37 genes panel of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) based on next-generation sequencing (NGS) in 47 patients with advanced NETs.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify breast cancer-specific circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) methylation markers that correspond to tissue DNA methylation.
Methods: Using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, we selected breast cancer-specific DNA methylation markers. The methylation and expression patterns of candidate genes were analyzed in breast cancer cell lines and tissue samples.
