Conference|ASCO Annual Meeting: Lung Cancer

Ferdinandos Skoulidis, MD, PhD, MRCP, details what he was most excited to learn about at 2021 ASCO.

At the 2021 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, CancerNetwork® sat down with Ferdinandos Skoulidis, MD, PhD, MRCP, an assistant professor in the Department of Thoracic/Head and Neck Medical Oncology, Division of Cancer Medicine at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, to discuss exciting data from the meeting in the field of lung cancer.

In particular, he focuses in on agents that have been developed to treat patients who have EGFR-mutant lung cancer tumors.

Transcript:

Some of the findings [were] presented by [Joshua M. Bauml, MD] of Penn Medicine, in the following session regarding the activity of amivantamab-vmjw [Rybrevant] in combination with lazertinib [YH25448] for osimertinib [Tagrisso]–relapsed, chemotherapy-naïve, EGFR-mutant non–small cell lung cancer [NCT02609776].1 [Another study examined the] activity of patritumab deruxtecan.2 [Both] are particularly exciting studies that push the boundaries further in another prevalent molecular subset of lung adenocarcinoma—EGFR-mutant tumors.

An 80% sensitivity for lung cancer was observed with the liquid biopsy, with high sensitivity observed for early-stage disease, as well.
Harmonizing protocols across the health care system may bolster the feasibility of giving bispecifics to those with lymphoma in a community setting.
Patients who face smoking stigma, perceive a lack of insurance, or have other low-dose CT related concerns may benefit from blood testing for lung cancer.
Although accuracy remains a focus in whole-body MRI testing in patients with Li-Fraumeni syndrome, comfortable testing experiences may ease anxiety.
Subsequent testing among patients in a prospective study may affirm the ability of cfDNA sequencing to detect cancers in those with Li-Fraumeni syndrome.
cfDNA sequencing may allow for more accessible, frequent, and sensitive testing compared with standard surveillance in Li-Fraumeni syndrome.
STX-478 showed efficacy in patients with advanced solid tumors regardless of whether they had kinase domain or helical PI3K mutations.
STX-478 may avoid adverse effects associated with prior PI3K inhibitors that lack selectivity for the mutated protein vs the wild-type protein.
Phase 1 data may show the possibility of rationally designing agents that can preferentially target PI3K mutations in solid tumors.
