2021 Year in Review - Gastrointestinal Cancer

Clinical study results indicate pembrolizumab monotherapy improves response rate in patients with advanced refractory esophageal cancer.
Avelumab maintenance therapy conveys no overall survival difference over the use of continued chemotherapy in patients with advanced GEJC or gastric cancer.
The dose-escalation phase of the EMERGE clinical trial results show that 200 mg domatinostat twice daily is safe and efficacious.
No survival advantage was observed with durvalumab use in the PLATFORM clinical trial, but a patient subgroup was observed to have a radiological response.
CheckMate-577 clinical trial results show nivolumab adjuvant therapy increases disease-free survival over placebo in patients with gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer or esophageal cancer.
Second-line or later nivolumab monotherapy yields no clear evidence of efficacy advantage for patients with advanced esophageal cancer.
Recently released positive findings from the LEAP-005 trial of lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab in the treatment of previously treated gastric cancer leads to cohort expansion.
Results from the CheckMate-648 study demonstrate that nivolumab added to either ipilimumab or chemotherapy improves overall survival in patients with advanced esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma.
Nivolumab combined with chemotherapy had improved survival outcomes and an acceptable safety profile in patients with advanced gastric/esophageal cancer, according to CheckMate-649 study results.
