ADC-, Bispecific Antibody–Based Therapies Help Build a New Treatment Paradigm in EGFR+ NSCLC

*July 2025* Osimertinib's approval for NSCLC post chemoradiation is supported by the LAURA trial, showing improved overall survival compared with placebo. The ORCHARD study is evaluating osimertinib with datopotamab deruxtecan, demonstrating promising progression-free survival and response rates in EGFR-mutated NSCLC. The MARIPOSA trial showed that amivantamab plus lazertinib offers an…

COMPEL Study Shows Continuing Osimertinib Treatment Through Progression with the Addition of Chemotherapy Improves Progression-Free Survival in EGFR-Mutated NSCLC

*September 2025* A new analysis from the COMPEL trial shows that patients with EGFR-mutated (EGFRm) advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who experienced non-central nervous system (CNS) progression on first-line osimertinib benefit from continuing osimertinib treatment in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy. The study showed that continuing osimertinib with the addition…

Combination Therapy With MET Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor and EGFR Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor in Patients With MET-Overexpressed EGFR-Mutant Lung Adenocarcinoma

*June 2025* Abstract Introduction Dysregulated MET signaling, such as MET overexpression or MET amplification (METamp), is a important mechanism of resistance to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in patients with EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Combination therapy with EGFR TKIs and MET TKIs has revealed efficacy in these patients. This study…

Efficacy evaluation of tyrosine kinase inhibitors for advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients with leptomeningeal metastasis

*May 2025* Background: Leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) is an infrequent and challenging site of metastasis in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Currently, there is no standardized treatment protocol or consensus for managing NSCLC patients with LM. This study aims to comprehensively evaluate the efficacy and safety of targeted therapy in…
