Preventing Infusion-related Reactions With Intravenous Amivantamab: Results From SKIPPirr, a Phase 2 Study

*January 2025* Abstract Introduction Amivantamab, an EGFR-MET bispecific antibody, is approved for multiple indications in EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC as monotherapy or combined with other agents. Intravenous amivantamab is associated with a 67% infusion-related reaction (IRR) rate. Methods The phase 2 SKIPPirr study (NCT05663866) enrolled participants with EGFR-mutated (exon 19 deletion…

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…

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.…
