Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Nonrandomized phase 2 data support further assessment of aumolertinib among patients with NSCLC and brain metastases in a randomized clinical trial.

The treatment combination elicited partial responses in 80% of patients with squamous NSCLC and 46% in nonsquamous NSCLC.

The agency’s decision is based on results from the phase 1 RMC-6291-001 clinical trial evaluating elironrasib monotherapy in patients with solid tumors.

Support for the regulatory decision follows data from a phase 1/2a clinical trial assessing the agent in EGFR-mutant NSCLC at the 2025 ASCO Annual Meeting.

Investigators will present updated findings from the phase 3 FLAURA2 trial at a future medical meeting.

Particularly strong efficacy signals were observed in patients with non-squamous non–small cell lung cancer previously treated with PD-1 inhibition.

Panelists discuss how real-world experience with amivantamab plus lazertinib has shown remarkable responses consistent with trial data, including effectiveness in challenging cases like leptomeningeal disease, with manageable adverse effects when proper prophylactic measures and patient education are implemented.

The Oncomine Dx Express Test may generate results in as little as 24 hours when used on the Ion Torrent Genexus Dx Integrated Sequencer.

According to Jorge Nieva, MD, there are a multitude of things that can be explored to enhance the treatment landscape for lung cancer.

Taletrectinib showed improved efficacy in patients with ROS1-positive non–small cell lung cancer who were treatment-naïve.

“It’s a drug that I’m very comfortable with, and it is a drug I’ll likely use primarily in the first-line setting,” stated Jorge Nieva, MD, on taletrectinib in non–small cell lung cancer.

Data from the phase 1/2 WU-KONG1 study support the accelerated approval of sunvozertinib in this population.

Panelists discuss how both amivantamab plus lazertinib and osimertinib-based regimens show good central nervous system activity for patients with baseline brain metastases, with treatment choice influenced more by patient-specific factors like bleeding risk and anticoagulation contraindications than by CNS efficacy differences.

Panelists discuss how the MARIPOSA study demonstrated significant progression-free survival and overall survival (OS) benefits with amivantamab plus lazertinib vs osimertinib monotherapy, with mature overall survival data showing a 25% improvement in survival outcomes.

The MARIPOSA trial revealed promising survival benefits with amivantamab plus lazertinib vs osimertinib for patients with EGFR-mutant lung cancer.

Jorge Nieva, MD, discusses how clinical experience has shown that taletrectinib is manageable and can elicit responses in patients with ROS1-positive non–small cell lung cancer.

Panelists discuss how the treatment landscape for EGFR-mutant non–small cell lung cancer has evolved to include 3 viable frontline options (osimertinib alone, osimertinib plus chemotherapy, and amivantamab plus lazertinib), with treatment selection based on patient characteristics, preferences, and physician judgment rather than a strict algorithmic approach.

Panelists discuss how a 46-year-old graphic designer with stage IV EGFR-mutant non–small cell lung cancer and brain metastases was successfully treated with amivantamab plus lazertinib after weighing multiple frontline treatment options.

AI transforms non-small cell lung cancer management, enhancing diagnostics, treatment predictions, and personalized care strategies for improved patient outcomes.

Developers plan to begin a rolling new drug application for zidesamtinib as a treatment for this non–small cell lung cancer population in July 2025.

The decision is supported by results from the phase 2 TROPION-Lung05 and phase 3 TROPION-Lung01 trials.

Data from the phase 3 GEMSTONE-302 trial support sugemalimab plus chemotherapy as a frontline treatment option in metastatic non–small cell lung cancer.

Supporting results for the approval of taletrectinib in ROS1+ NSCLC come from the TRUST-I and TRUST-II trials.

Sacituzumab tirumotecan showed a manageable safety profile compared to docetaxel in patients with EGFR-mutant advanced non–small cell lung cancer.

Following the induction phase with chemotherapy alone, ibrilatazar has shown a manageable toxicity profile in patients with advanced squamous NSCLC.

Among 44 patients with EGFR-positive non–small cell lung cancer who discontinued docetaxel, 36.4% crossed over to the sac-TMT arm.

The DREAM program led by Ankit Bharat, MD, MBBS, FACS, allowed Cornelia Tischmacher to receive a double lung transplant for her stage IV lung cancer.

RET rechallenge following disease progression demonstrated greater efficacy with select combination therapies targeting bypass resistance vs single agents.

Results from CheckMate-816 could be practice-changing after an OS improvement was noted with NAT nivolumab plus chemotherapy in resectable NSCLC.

Efficacy and biomarker analyses from CheckMate-77T support perioperative nivolumab as an effective option in resectable NSCLC.
