TKIs Look to Solidify a Role Alongside T-DXd in the Second-Line HER2-Mutant NSCLC Setting

*January 2025* Treatments are rapidly evolving in the second-line setting and beyond for patients with HER2-mutated non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with several promising TKIs under development looking to join fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki (T-DXd; Enhertu) in this setting. Following standard of care (SOC) systemic frontline therapy, T-DXd is the NCCN guideline…

Results from a phase 1b study of telisotuzumab vedotin in combination with osimertinib in patients with c-Met protein–overexpressing, EGFR-mutated locally advanced/metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after progression on prior osimertinib

*May 2025* Highlights •Patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC that progresses after osimertinib treatment need additional treatment options. •c-Met protein expression correlates with osimertinib resistance. •Teliso-V is an antibody–drug conjugate that targets c-Met protein overexpression. •Teliso-V + osimertinib had promising activity in EGFR-mut, c-Met protein-overexpressing NSCLC post-osimertinib progression. •The combination of Teliso-V…
