2023 EGFR Resisters/LUNGevity Foundation EGFR-positive Lung Cancer Research Award Year 1 Progress Update

*January 2025* Drug-tolerant persister cells (DTPCs) are cancer cells that survive drug treatment such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors. These cells are a key reason why EGFR-positive NSCLC (EGFR+ NSCLC) can come back after treatment. 2023 EGFR Resisters/LUNGevity Foundation EGFR-positive Lung Cancer Research Awardees are studying how to target DTPCs. Dr.…

Dr Girard on De Novo and Acquired Resistance Alterations in HER2-Altered NSCLC

*November 2024* Nicolas Girard, MD, professor, respiratory medicine, Versailles Saint Quentin University; head, Curie-Montsouris Thorax Institute, chair, Medical Oncology Department, Institut Curie, discusses de novo vs acquired resistance alterations in HER2-positive non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In HER2-positive NSCLC, alterations can be broadly categorized as either de novo mutations or acquired resistance mutations, Girard begins. De novo mutations…

FDA Receives New BLA for Dato-DXd in Pretreated EGFR+ Advanced NSCLC

*November 2024* Key Takeaways Datopotamab deruxtecan targets EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC, showing promising response and disease control rates in the TROPION-Lung05 trial. The TROPION-Lung01 trial showed non-significant overall survival improvement, leading to the withdrawal of the BLA for nonsquamous NSCLC. Safety data indicated that all patients experienced treatment-emergent adverse effects, with…
