Phase II study of lazertinib and pemetrexed in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer and leptomeningeal metastases: The KCSG LU 21-01, LAZARUS study ResearchTreatments

Phase II study of lazertinib and pemetrexed in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer and leptomeningeal metastases: The KCSG LU 21-01, LAZARUS study

*December 2025* Abstract Purpose Lazertinib, a third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has demonstrated high blood–brain barrier (BBB) penetration in preclinical studies. Similarly, pemetrexed has shown effective BBB penetration and survival benefit in EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with leptomeningeal carcinomatosis (LM). This study evaluated the…

Identifying the genomic landscape of EGFR-mutant lung cancers with central nervous system metastases

*October 2025* Abstract Background Despite the intracranial efficacy of osimertinib, central nervous system (CNS) metastases remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality in EGFR-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The genomic drivers of CNS dissemination are poorly understood. Patients and methods We analyzed the clinicogenomic features of patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC receiving…

Lazertinib for Patients with NSCLC Harboring Uncommon EGFR Mutations: A Phase II Multicenter Trial ResearchTreatments

Lazertinib for Patients with NSCLC Harboring Uncommon EGFR Mutations: A Phase II Multicenter Trial

*September 2025* Abstract Introduction Uncommon EGFR mutations comprise 10% to 20% of all EGFR mutations in NSCLC and generally report reduced responsiveness to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Lazertinib, a third-generation EGFR-TKI, has found efficacy in common EGFR mutations, but its potential in uncommon mutations remains unexplored. This study investigated the efficacy and safety of lazertinib…

Prognostic implications of uncommon EGFR exon 19 deletion-insertion mutations in NSCLC treated with third-generation EGFR-TKIs ResearchTreatments

Prognostic implications of uncommon EGFR exon 19 deletion-insertion mutations in NSCLC treated with third-generation EGFR-TKIs

*October 2025* Highlights • EGFR 19delins variants show varied outcomes with third-generation EGFR-TKI therapy. • L747_P753delinsS associated with poor prognosis among EGFR 19delins variants. • E746_S752delinsV showed better outcomes with third-generation EGFR-TKI. Abstract Purpose The sensitivity of various epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations to different EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKI) varies…

Aumolertinib Plus Chemo Shows Modest PFS Gain Over Monotherapy for EGFR/TSG-Mutant NSCLC ResearchTreatments

Aumolertinib Plus Chemo Shows Modest PFS Gain Over Monotherapy for EGFR/TSG-Mutant NSCLC

*September 2025* The ACROSS 2 trial comparing aumolertinib, a third-generation EGFR-TKI, with and without platinum-based chemotherapy, found that combination therapy improved progression-free survival (PFS) for patients with EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who also had co-mutated tumor suppressor genes (TSGs). The PFS benefit was modest, 19.8 months for combination…
