Barriers and Challenges in Biomarker Testing for ALK+ NSCLC

Data from the phase 2 LUMINOSITY study support the FDA approval of telisotuzumab vedotin in this non–small cell lung cancer population.

Steven E. Finkelstein, MD, DABR, FACRO discuses how Prolaris distinguishes itself from other genomic biomarker platforms by providing uniquely actionable clinical information that quantifies the absolute benefit of androgen deprivation therapy when added to radiation therapy, offering clinicians a more precise tool for personalizing prostate cancer treatment strategies.

In first-line, EGFR-mutated NSCLC, targeted therapies such as osimertinib or amivantamab plus lazertinib are recommended.

Alvaro Martinez, MD discusses how emerging genomic risk stratification tools such as the clinical cell-cycle risk (CCR) score are transforming personalized prostate cancer treatment by enabling more nuanced assessments of metastasis risk and treatment intensification strategies beyond traditional NCCN risk groupings.

Pooled results from the TRUST-I and TRUST-II trials showed that taletrectinib led to infrequent neurological TEAEs in patients with ROS1-positive NSCLC.

Phase 3 CROWN trial findings suggest that patients with ALK-positive NSCLC may maintain efficacy even after reducing lorlatinib dosing to mitigate AEs.
