Perioperative Toripalimab Enhances Surgical Outcomes and Survival in Stage III Resectable NSCLC: Insights from the Neotorch Trial

This post hoc analysis of the Neotorch phase 3 trial demonstrates that adding toripalimab to chemotherapy perioperatively in stage III resectable NSCLC improves tumor and nodal downstaging, reduces surgery cancellation, and significantly enhances event-free survival without increasing surgical complications.

Perioperative Pembrolizumab + Trastuzumab with FLOT Achieves High pCR and Feasible Safety in HER2‑Positive Localized Esophagogastric Adenocarcinoma: Interim PHERFLOT Results

Interim results from the phase 2 PHERFLOT trial show a 48.4% pathological complete response and a 67.7% major pathologic response after four cycles of pembrolizumab, trastuzumab and FLOT in localized HER2‑positive esophagogastric adenocarcinoma; safety was consistent with known profiles.
