This year’s research, to be presented in Chicago from May 29 to June 2, reflects growing efforts to tailor cancer treatment based on tumor biology, prior therapies and patient-specific factors that influence response.

"Cancer care is entering a new phase where understanding the biology of each patient’s disease is just as important as the treatment itself," said Marcel van den Brink, M.D., Ph.D., City of Hope chief physician executive. "The research we are presenting at ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper) demonstrates how precision medicine is becoming a reality across cancer types, and how we can use that insight to deliver smarter therapies, improve outcomes and move the field forward."

City of Hope featured oral presentations

Microbiome insights may help predict immunotherapy benefit in kidney cancer

City of Hope researchers report that gut microbiome composition may influence how patients respond to immunotherapy combinations in metastatic renal cell carcinoma, pointing to a potential biomarker that could help guide treatment selection in the future.

The microbiome is a rising focus at City of Hope, highlighted by a recent symposium that convened federal health leaders and top cancer centers to accelerate progress in the field.

The study findings come from a combined analysis of two randomized phase 1 trials evaluating standard-of-care immune checkpoint inhibitor regimens with or without the addition of CBM5881, a live biotherapeutic designed to modulate the gut microbiome. The trials enrolled treatment-naïve patients with metastatic disease who received either nivolumab plus ipilimumab or nivolumab plus cabozantinib, reflecting commonly used immunotherapy-based frontline options.

Across the combined dataset, patients who received CBM588 in addition to immunotherapy achieved an objective response rate of 66.7%, compared with 20% among those receiving standard therapy alone. Median progression-free survival improved to 32.1 months with the combination versus 3.7 months with standard treatment.

Researchers also used a metagenomic measure called TOPOSCORE to assess gut imbalance and found that patients with a more disrupted microbiome saw the greatest benefit. In this subgroup, progression-free survival increased from 2.8 months to 24.9 months with the addition of CBM588. The association between microbiome profile and treatment response was particularly evident in patients who received nivolumab plus ipilimumab, suggesting that the microbiome may interact differently depending on the immunotherapy backbone.

The new data support a growing body of research linking the gut microbiome to immune response.

"These findings suggest the microbiome may play a direct role in shaping immunotherapy outcomes," said Rahul Winayak, M.D., postdoctoral fellow at City of Hope. "If validated in larger studies, this approach could help guide treatment decisions and improve outcomes for patients with kidney cancer."

A randomized phase 3 trial is underway to further evaluate this strategy.

Bispecific antibody combination improves outcomes for patients with lymphoma, including in earlier lines of therapy

Updated data from the phase 3 SUNMO trial continue to show that the combination of mosunetuzumab, a bispecific antibody, and polatuzumab vedotin, an antibody-drug conjugate, improves outcomes for patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma who are not eligible for autologous stem cell transplant.

The study randomized patients to receive the combination regimen or standard chemotherapy with rituximab, gemcitabine and oxaliplatin. With a median follow-up of more than two years, the combination demonstrated an objective response rate of 70.3%, compared with 40.0% for standard therapy, along with a significant reduction in the risk of disease progression.

A key focus of this updated analysis was outcomes by line of therapy. Among patients who received treatment in the second-line setting, the combination produced higher response rates, deeper remissions and longer durations of response compared with both later-line patients and those who received chemotherapy. Median progression-free survival and duration of complete response were not reached in several subgroups, underscoring the durability of benefit.

The safety profile remained stable with longer follow-up, with low rates of higher-grade cytokine release syndrome and no observed neurotoxicity. These findings support use of this novel regimen in patients who are unable to tolerate aggressive chemotherapy.

"These results support the growing role of bispecific antibody-based combinations as an alternative to traditional chemotherapy," said Elizabeth Budde2, M.D., Ph.D., executive medical director of the Enterprise Immune Effector Cell Program at City of Hope. "We are especially encouraged by the durability of responses in earlier lines of therapy, where improving long-term outcomes is critical for every patient."

New therapy targeting a key cancer growth pathway shows promise in advanced liver cancer

City of Hope investigators are evaluating tegavivint, a first-in-class small-molecule inhibitor that targets the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, a key driver in many liver cancers that have historically been difficult to treat.

The ongoing phase 1/2 study includes patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma who have received at least one prior line of systemic therapy and have disease that cannot be treated with surgery or localized therapies.

Among patients with Wnt pathway mutations detected with molecular profiling and treated within the recommended dose range, the therapy demonstrated clinical activity, with an objective response rate of 22%, disease control rate of 89% and median progression-free survival of eight months in patients treated earlier in their disease course.

Importantly, the study showed evidence of target engagement, including reductions in alpha-fetoprotein levels and changes in Wnt pathway circulating tumor DNA allele frequency. These findings suggest that the drug is affecting the intended biological pathway, a key challenge in prior efforts to target Wnt signaling.

"Targeting the Wnt pathway has long been a major challenge in oncology, but these data suggest we may finally be making progress," said Daneng Li, M.D., gastrointestinal medical oncologist at City of Hope. "With further validation, this approach could meaningfully expand treatment options and provide a potential targeted therapy approach to improve outcomes for patients with advanced liver cancer."

First-in-human study shows early activity for novel prostate cancer therapy

City of Hope researchers are presenting early results from a first-in-human study of ABBV-969, a dual-targeting antibody-drug conjugate that binds PSMA and STEAP1, two proteins commonly found in advanced prostate cancer. The therapy is designed to deliver a potent anti-cancer agent directly to tumor cells expressing PSMA and/or STEAP1 antigens.

The phase 1 study enrolled patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who had received multiple prior lines of therapy, including androgen receptor pathway inhibitors and taxane-based chemotherapy to stop cell division. Patients were treated across a range of dose levels to evaluate safety, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy.

Among patients with measurable disease, the therapy achieved an objective response rate of 45%, with responses observed across multiple dose levels starting at 3 mg/kg. Reductions in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels were also common, with 67% of patients achieving a PSA50 response and 28% achieving deeper PSA declines of 90% or greater.

The study assessed a range of doses and dose optimization is ongoing. The study also demonstrated a manageable safety profile. The most common higher-grade adverse events were hematologic, including anemia, which were generally reversible and consistent with the drug’s mechanism of action.

"We are seeing early signals that this targeted approach can deliver meaningful responses, even in heavily pretreated patients," said Tanya Dorff3, M.D., F.A.S.C.O., genitourinary medical oncologist at City of Hope. "The next step will be to better understand how to position this therapy to further improve outcomes."

Agenus and Noetik Present ASCO 2026 Data Linking AI Analysis of Routine Pretreatment Tumor Pathology Images to Response and Survival with BOT+BAL in MSS Metastatic CRC

On May 21, 2026 Agenus Inc. (Nasdaq: AGEN), a leader in immuno-oncology innovation, reported new retrospective data showing that Noetik’s artificial intelligence-based TARIO-2 model identified spatial tumor microenvironment patterns associated with clinical outcomes from routine pretreatment tumor pathology images in patients treated with botensilimab (BOT) plus balstilimab (BAL), Agenus’ investigational next-generation multifunctional, Fc-enhanced anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD-1 immunotherapy combination.

The data will be presented on May 30, 2026, by Ryan Dalton, Ph.D., of Noetik, during a poster session at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) (Free ASCO Whitepaper) Annual Meeting. The presentation, titled "Artificial intelligence foundation model as a predictor of efficacy of next-generation checkpoint inhibition with botensilimab (BOT) + balstilimab (BAL) in solid tumors using pretreatment H&E images," evaluated whether Noetik’s TARIO-2 model could analyze standard hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) pathology images to identify spatial tumor microenvironment patterns associated with clinical outcomes following treatment with BOT+BAL.

BOT is an Fc-enhanced anti-CTLA-4 antibody designed to broaden anti-tumor immune activity through effects on T-cell priming, antigen presentation and regulatory T cells within the tumor microenvironment. Given BOT+BAL’s differentiated mechanism and prior observations that clinical activity is not strongly associated with traditional biomarkers such as PD-L1 expression or tumor mutational burden, broader tumor microenvironment-based approaches may be important for identifying patients most likely to benefit.

The analysis included 113 efficacy-evaluable patients treated with BOT+BAL in the C-800-01 Phase 1b trial who had available pretreatment H&E images. Tumor cohorts included microsatellite stable (MSS) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) without active liver metastases, ovarian cancer and sarcomas. The analysis evaluated TARIO-2’s ability to predict clinical endpoints including best overall response and overall survival.

In the MSS mCRC without active liver metastases cohort, TARIO-2 demonstrated statistically significant predictive performance for both best overall response and overall survival. Supportive trends were observed in the ovarian cancer and sarcoma cohorts. In the MSS mCRC without active liver metastases cohort, TARIO-2 also outperformed benchmark pathology foundation models in predicting best overall response and overall survival.

TARIO-2 does not rely on a traditional single-marker biomarker approach. Instead, the model applies AI-based spatial tumor microenvironment analysis to standard H&E pathology images, which are routinely generated during cancer diagnosis and clinical evaluation. By using widely available H&E images, TARIO-2 is designed to extract biologically relevant tumor microenvironment features without requiring more complex tissue-profiling approaches that may be difficult to implement routinely. This approach may support future patient stratification strategies if prospectively validated.

"Routine pathology images are already part of cancer care, but much of the biologic information they contain is difficult to interpret by eye alone," said Ryan Dalton, Ph.D., Senior Computational Scientist at Noetik. "These data suggest that AI-based analysis of pretreatment H&E images may help identify spatial tumor microenvironment patterns associated with clinical benefit from BOT+BAL. The findings support prospective validation of TARIO-2 as a practical, image-based biomarker strategy."

BOT+BAL is being evaluated as a novel immunotherapy combination designed to expand immune activity in tumors that have historically been difficult to treat with conventional immunotherapies. The ability to better understand which patients are most likely to benefit remains an important area of translational research, particularly in tumor types with limited immunotherapy options.

"BOT+BAL is designed to engage the immune system in tumors that have historically been resistant to conventional immunotherapy, through differentiated mechanisms not fully captured by traditional biomarkers such as PD-L1 expression or tumor mutational burden," said Dhan Chand, Ph.D., Vice President of Research at Agenus. "These data represent an important step toward aligning BOT+BAL’s differentiated biology with the patients most likely to benefit. Prospective validation will be an important next step as we continue to advance BOT+BAL clinical development."

The findings support prospective validation of TARIO-2 as an H&E-based biomarker strategy for BOT+BAL, including further evaluation in MSS colorectal cancer and broader solid tumor datasets.

Following the poster session on May 30, 2026, the full poster will be available on the Publications page of the Agenus website.

The ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper) abstract released today includes clinical data from 45 patients enrolled in the Phase 1a/b dose escalation and expansion portions of the study. The poster presentation will feature an expanded dataset of 53 patients, including seven patients who meet the eligibility criteria for the ongoing Phase 2 expansion cohorts in BRCA-mutated ovarian cancer and HR+/HER2- breast cancer. These criteria limit prior therapy to no more than five lines for ovarian cancer and no more than two lines for breast cancer. In this Phase 2-eligible subset, ETX-19477 demonstrated robust antitumor activity, with a 57% objective response rate (n=7). Durable RECIST responses were observed in both tumor types, providing the first clinical proof-of-concept for PARG inhibition in ovarian and breast cancer patients. ETX-19477 was generally well tolerated, with low rates of hematologic toxicity observed to date.

"These data represent an important clinical milestone for ETX-19477 and for the emerging field of PARG inhibition," said Jeffrey A. Stafford, CEO of 858 Therapeutics. "We are encouraged by the clinical efficacy and RECIST responses observed to date, in both ovarian and breast cancer patients. These treatment outcomes, together with the robust PK-PD relationship established during dose escalation, support the continued development of ETX-19477, including combination approaches that can meaningfully expand the patient populations treatable with ETX-19477."

858 Therapeutics is actively enrolling patients in Phase 2 monotherapy expansion cohorts, with a focus on BRCA-mutated ovarian and breast cancer. Additional details on the ETX-19477 clinical program can be found on clinicaltrials.gov (NCT06395519).

About ETX-19477

Poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) is an enzyme that catalyzes the removal of poly-ADP-ribose (PAR) chains from proteins during the DNA damage response. PARG inhibition leads to selective cell death in tumors with underlying replication fork defects, including BRCA-mutated tumors, through a mechanism distinct from PARP inhibition. ETX-19477 is an oral, potent, and selective PARG inhibitor that is efficacious in preclinical mouse models of ovarian, breast, and gastric cancers. 858 Therapeutics is evaluating ETX-19477 in a Phase 1/2 study in patients with advanced solid tumors at multiple sites in the U.S. For more information on the Phase 1/2 study, please visit: View Source

The use of Trodelvy plus Keytruda in patients with first-line PD-L1+ metastatic TNBC and Trodelvy as monotherapy in patients with first-line metastatic TNBC who are not candidates for PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors are investigational, and the safety and efficacy of these uses have not been established.

KEYTRUDA is a registered trademark of Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC., a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA.

About Trodelvy

Trodelvy (sacituzumab govitecan-hziy) is a first-in-class Trop-2-directed antibody-drug conjugate. Trop-2 is a cell surface antigen highly expressed in multiple tumor types, including in more than 90% of breast and lung cancers. Trodelvy is intentionally designed with a proprietary hydrolyzable linker attached to SN-38, a topoisomerase I inhibitor payload. This unique combination delivers potent activity to both Trop-2 expressing cells and the tumor microenvironment through a bystander effect.

Trodelvy is currently approved in more than 60 countries for second-line or later metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and in more than 50 countries for certain patients with pre-treated HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer (mBC). Outside of Europe, Gilead has submitted supplemental applications to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for approval of Trodelvy based on the ASCENT-03 and ASCENT-04 studies.

Trodelvy is currently being evaluated in multiple ongoing Phase 3 trials across a range of tumor types with high Trop-2 expression. These studies with Trodelvy, both in monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab, involve earlier lines of treatment for TNBC and HR+/HER2- breast cancer—including in curative settings—as well as in lung and gynecologic cancers, where previous proof-of-concept studies have demonstrated clinical activity.

About Anito-cel

Anitocabtagene autoleucel (anito-cel, previously ddBCMA) is the first BCMA-directed CAR T-cell therapy to be investigated in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma that utilizes Arcellx’s novel and compact binder known as the D-Domain. The small, D-Domain binder potentially enables high CAR expression without tonic signaling and is designed to quickly release from the BCMA target. This combination may allow for the potential elimination of multiple myeloma cells without severe immunotoxicity. Anito-cel has been granted Fast Track, Orphan Drug, and Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy Designations by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

About KITE-753

KITE-753 is an investigational, bicistronic autologous CAR T-cell therapy engineered to potentially overcome tumor antigen heterogeneity and may prevent relapse. The KITE DuoCore construct uniquely combines anti-CD19 and anti-CD20 targeting with dual co-stimulation (CD28 and 4-1BB). KITE-753 utilizes a novel manufacturing process, aiming to preserve T-cell fitness.

U.S. INDICATIONS FOR TRODELVY

TRODELVY (sacituzumab govitecan-hziy) is a Trop-2-directed antibody and topoisomerase inhibitor conjugate indicated for the treatment of adult patients with:

Unresectable locally advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) who have received two or more prior systemic therapies, at least one of them for metastatic disease.
Unresectable locally advanced or metastatic hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative (IHC 0, IHC 1+ or IHC 2+/ISH-) breast cancer who have received endocrine-based therapy and at least two additional systemic therapies in the metastatic setting.
U.S. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR TRODELVY

BOXED WARNING: NEUTROPENIA AND DIARRHEA

TRODELVY can cause severe, life-threatening, or fatal neutropenia. Withhold TRODELVY for absolute neutrophil count below 1500/mm3 or neutropenic fever. Monitor blood cell counts periodically during treatment. Primary prophylaxis with G-CSF is recommended for all patients at increased risk of febrile neutropenia. Initiate anti-infective treatment in patients with febrile neutropenia without delay.
TRODELVY can cause severe diarrhea. Monitor patients with diarrhea and give fluid and electrolytes as needed. At the onset of diarrhea, evaluate for infectious causes and, if negative, promptly initiate loperamide. If severe diarrhea occurs, withhold TRODELVY until resolved to ≤ Grade 1 and reduce subsequent doses.
CONTRAINDICATIONS

Severe hypersensitivity reaction to TRODELVY.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Neutropenia: Severe, life-threatening, or fatal neutropenia can occur as early as the first cycle of treatment and may require dose modification. Neutropenia occurred in 64% of patients treated with TRODELVY. Grade 3-4 neutropenia occurred in 49% of patients. Febrile neutropenia occurred in 6%. Neutropenic colitis occurred in 1.4%. Primary prophylaxis with G-CSF is recommended starting in the first cycle of treatment in all patients at increased risk of febrile neutropenia, including older patients, patients with previous neutropenia, poor performance status, organ dysfunction, or multiple comorbidities. Monitor absolute neutrophil count (ANC) during treatment. Withhold TRODELVY for ANC below 1500/mm3 on Day 1 of any cycle or below 1000/mm3 on Day 8 of any cycle. Withhold TRODELVY for neutropenic fever. Treat neutropenia with G-CSF and administer prophylaxis in subsequent cycles as clinically indicated or indicated in Table 2 of USPI.

Diarrhea: Diarrhea occurred in 64% of all patients treated with TRODELVY. Grade 3-4 diarrhea occurred in 11% of patients. One patient had intestinal perforation following diarrhea. Diarrhea that led to dehydration and subsequent acute kidney injury occurred in 0.7% of all patients. Withhold TRODELVY for Grade 3-4 diarrhea and resume when resolved to ≤ Grade 1. At onset, evaluate for infectious causes and if negative, promptly initiate loperamide, 4 mg initially followed by 2 mg with every episode of diarrhea for a maximum of 16 mg daily. Discontinue loperamide 12 hours after diarrhea resolves. Additional supportive measures (e.g., fluid and electrolyte substitution) may also be employed as clinically indicated. Patients who exhibit an excessive cholinergic response to treatment can receive appropriate premedication (e.g., atropine) for subsequent treatments.

Hypersensitivity and Infusion-Related Reactions: TRODELVY can cause serious hypersensitivity reactions including life-threatening anaphylactic reactions. Severe signs and symptoms included cardiac arrest, hypotension, wheezing, angioedema, swelling, pneumonitis, and skin reactions. Hypersensitivity reactions within 24 hours of dosing occurred in 35% of patients. Grade 3-4 hypersensitivity occurred in 2% of patients. The incidence of hypersensitivity reactions leading to permanent discontinuation of TRODELVY was 0.2%. The incidence of anaphylactic reactions was 0.2%. Pre-infusion medication is recommended. Have medications and emergency equipment to treat such reactions available for immediate use. Observe patients closely for hypersensitivity and infusion-related reactions during each infusion and for at least 30 minutes after completion of each infusion. Permanently discontinue TRODELVY for Grade 4 infusion-related reactions.

Nausea and Vomiting: TRODELVY is emetogenic and can cause severe nausea and vomiting. Nausea occurred in 64% of all patients treated with TRODELVY and Grade 3-4 nausea occurred in 3% of these patients. Vomiting occurred in 35% of patients and Grade 3-4 vomiting occurred in 2% of these patients. Premedicate with a two or three drug combination regimen (e.g., dexamethasone with either a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist or an NK1 receptor antagonist as well as other drugs as indicated) for prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). Withhold TRODELVY doses for Grade 3 nausea or Grade 3-4 vomiting and resume with additional supportive measures when resolved to Grade ≤ 1. Additional antiemetics and other supportive measures may also be employed as clinically indicated. All patients should be given take-home medications with clear instructions for prevention and treatment of nausea and vomiting.

Increased Risk of Adverse Reactions in Patients with Reduced UGT1A1 Activity: Patients homozygous for the uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyl transferase 1A1 (UGT1A1)*28 allele are at increased risk for neutropenia, febrile neutropenia, and anemia and may be at increased risk for other adverse reactions with TRODELVY. The incidence of Grade 3-4 neutropenia was 58% in patients homozygous for the UGT1A1*28, 49% in patients heterozygous for the UGT1A1*28 allele, and 43% in patients homozygous for the wild-type allele. The incidence of Grade 3-4 anemia was 21% in patients homozygous for the UGT1A1*28 allele, 10% in patients heterozygous for the UGT1A1*28 allele, and 9% in patients homozygous for the wild-type allele. Closely monitor patients with known reduced UGT1A1 activity for adverse reactions. Withhold or permanently discontinue TRODELVY based on clinical assessment of the onset, duration and severity of the observed adverse reactions in patients with evidence of acute early-onset or unusually severe adverse reactions, which may indicate reduced UGT1A1 function.

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Based on its mechanism of action, TRODELVY can cause teratogenicity and/or embryo-fetal lethality when administered to a pregnant woman. TRODELVY contains a genotoxic component, SN-38, and targets rapidly dividing cells. Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with TRODELVY and for 6 months after the last dose. Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with TRODELVY and for 3 months after the last dose.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

In the pooled safety population, the most common (≥ 25%) adverse reactions including laboratory abnormalities were decreased leukocyte count (84%), decreased neutrophil count (75%), decreased hemoglobin (69%), diarrhea (64%), nausea (64%), decreased lymphocyte count (63%), fatigue (51%), alopecia (45%), constipation (37%), increased glucose (37%), decreased albumin (35%), vomiting (35%), decreased appetite (30%), decreased creatinine clearance (28%), increased alkaline phosphatase (28%), decreased magnesium (27%), decreased potassium (26%), and decreased sodium (26%).

In the ASCENT study (locally advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer), the most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥25%) were fatigue, diarrhea, nausea, alopecia, constipation, vomiting, abdominal pain, and decreased appetite. The most frequent serious adverse reactions (SAR) (>1%) were neutropenia (7%), diarrhea (4%), and pneumonia (3%). SAR were reported in 27% of patients, and 5% discontinued therapy due to adverse reactions. The most common Grade 3-4 lab abnormalities (incidence ≥25%) in the ASCENT study were reduced neutrophils, leukocytes, and lymphocytes.

In the TROPiCS-02 study (locally advanced or metastatic HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer), the most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥25%) were diarrhea, fatigue, nausea, alopecia, and constipation. The most frequent serious adverse reactions (SAR) (>1%) were diarrhea (5%), febrile neutropenia (4%), neutropenia (3%), abdominal pain, colitis, neutropenic colitis, pneumonia, and vomiting (each 2%). SAR were reported in 28% of patients, and 6% discontinued therapy due to adverse reactions. The most common Grade 3-4 lab abnormalities (incidence ≥25%) in the TROPiCS-02 study were reduced neutrophils and leukocytes.

DRUG INTERACTIONS

UGT1A1 Inhibitors: Concomitant administration of TRODELVY with inhibitors of UGT1A1 may increase the incidence of adverse reactions due to potential increase in systemic exposure to SN-38. Avoid administering UGT1A1 inhibitors with TRODELVY.

UGT1A1 Inducers: Exposure to SN-38 may be reduced in patients concomitantly receiving UGT1A1 enzyme inducers. Avoid administering UGT1A1 inducers with TRODELVY.
