FDA Grants Priority Review to Dato-DXd in Advanced EGFR-Mutated NSCLC

*January 2025* The FDA has accepted and granted priority review to the biologics license application (BLA) for datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd). This investigational treatment is intended for adults with locally advanced or metastatic EGFR-mutated non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have previously received systemic therapies, including EGFR-targeted treatments. The FDA’s decision…

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…

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…
