Choosing Treatment After Osimertinib for Patients With EGFR-Mutated NSCLC With MET Amplification

*October 2024* Key Points: In EGFR-mutated non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), treatment with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) osimertinib has routinely demonstrated superior survival rates; however, resistance is inevitable. MET deregulation, including the amplification of the gene (METamp), is the most common mechanism of osimertinib resistance. Dual anti-EGFR/anti-MET inhibition may be an…

First Patients Dosed in New Phase 3 Trials of Dato-DXd in NSCLC

*November 2024* The first patients have been dosed in 3 phase 3 trials evaluating various combinations of datapotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).1 TROPION-Lung10 (NCT06357533) is investigating Dato-DXd plus rilvegostomig (AZD2936), a PD-1/TIGIT bispecific antibody, or rilvegostomig alone vs pembrolizumab…

Amivantamab Combo Reduces Symptom Progression in EGFR-Mutated NSCLC

*September 2024* Symptom progression was significantly delayed when patients with EGFR-mutated non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were treated with amivantamab-vmjw (Rybrevant) plus lazertinib (Lazcluze) compared with osimertinib (Tagrisso) monotherapy, according to a presentation from the 2024 IASLC World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC).1 The study assessed the results observed in the phase…
