San Francisco, California (UroToday.com) Data from Bayer’s evolving oncology portfolio will be presented at the ESMO Virtual Congress 2020, taking place on September 19-21, 2020. Presentations will highlight therapies from Bayer that evaluate patient outcomes as well as safety and efficacy in different tumor types. Other presentations include investigational use of therapies in combination with immunotherapies. Information on the registration as well as the virtual scientific program can be found here.


Updated efficacy and continued safety data with longer follow-up for Vitrakvi® (larotrectinib) from an integrated set of adult and pediatric patients with tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) fusion cancer will be presented. In addition, new efficacy and safety analyses in patients with lung and thyroid cancers harboring neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase (NTRK) gene fusions, as well as a growth modulation index study evaluating larotrectinib compared to prior systemic treatments will be shared at the meeting.

Vitrakvi is approved in the U.S., Canada, Brazil, and the European Union (EU). Vitrakvi is approved in the U.S. for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients with solid tumors that have an NTRK gene fusion without a known acquired resistance mutation, are metastatic or where surgical resection is likely to result in severe morbidity, and have no satisfactory alternative treatments or that have progressed following treatment. This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on overall response rate and duration of response. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory trials. Additional filings in other regions are underway or planned.

New findings from the Phase III ARAMIS trial highlighting the treatment response and tolerability data of NUBEQA® (darolutamide) in patients with non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) will be presented. Information on a Phase III trial in progress evaluating the addition of darolutamide to androgen deprivation therapy and definitive or salvage radiation in men with high-risk prostate cancer will also be shared at this congress.

Final results from the Nexavar® (sorafenib) RIFTOS MKI study, evaluating the use of multikinase inhibitors (MKIs) for the treatment of patients with asymptomatic radioactive iodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (RAI-R DTC) will be shared at the meeting. Additional research on investigational uses of Bayer’s established products in combination with immuno-oncology (IO) approaches, including Stivarga® (regorafenib) and Xofigo® (radium Ra 223 dichloride), for first-line treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) respectively, will be presented at the meeting.’

Notable presentations at the ESMO Virtual Congress 2020 are listed below. Abstracts accepted as posters (P) or Trial in Progress (TiP) will be available online beginning September 14, 2020, at 00:05 CEST / September 13, 2020, at 6:05 PM ET, and full presentations will be available online from September 17-21, 2020.
