Combining zanzalintinib, a targeted therapy drug, and atezolizumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor, helped patients with metastatic colorectal cancer live longer and control their disease better than with the standard treatment drug regorafenib, according to a study led by UCLA investigators.

Piktor, an investigational all-oral combination of serabelisib and sapanisertib, given with paclitaxel to patients with advanced endometrioid endometrial cancer and a PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway mutation who had received at least one prior line of therapy, yielded a 33% confirmed objective response rate in efficacy-evaluable patients, and a disease control rate of 83%, according to clinical data from phase II trial (FTH-PIK-201; NCT06463028; GOG-311). 
At the recommended regimen, 73% of patients receiving a pasritamig and JNJ-9401 combination, two bispecific antibodies designed to work together to drive the body’s immune response against advanced prostate cancer, achieved reductions of at least 50% in prostate-specific antigen, according to the results of a first-in-human phase I study. 
I have spent over 20 years running a tumor imaging metrics core at an academic cancer center. In that time, I have watched clinical trial enrollment concentrate at a relatively small number of flagship academic institutions. Unfortunately, trials do not propagate well to the community sites where most patients prefer to receive care. The explanations usually offered for why this happens have never fully accounted for what I observed.
