AMG 510, a novel KRAS G12C inhibitor, demonstrated early evidence of a consistent safety profile and anticancer activity across a range of advanced KRAS G12C-mutant solid tumors other than non–small cell lung cancer and colorectal cancer.

The FDA has approved the combination of ramucirumab and erlotinib as a frontline treatment for patients with metastatic non–small cell lung cancer whose tumors harbor EGFR mutations.

Edgardo S. Santos, MD, FACP, FCCP, discusses the FDA approval of the combination of ramucirumab and erlotinib for the frontline treatment of patients with metastatic non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors harbor EGFR Ex19del or Ex21 substitution mutations.

Results from the CheckMate 9LA suggested that frontline treatment with nivolumab plus ipilimumab combined with 2 cycles of platinum-doublet chemotherapy in patients with metastatic or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer should be considered a new option for this population.

Modest survival benefits were observed in patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer who received the combination of pembrolizumab and etoposide plus platinum compared with patients who received EP and placebo.

Following at least 3 years of follow-up, patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer and tumor PD-L1 expression ≥ 1% or < 1% experienced durable and long-term efficacy benefits from frontline treatment with nivolumab plus ipilimumab, compared with chemotherapy.

Fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki demonstrated favorable clinical activity with a high objective response rate and durable responses in patients with HER2-mutated non–small cell lung cancer.

Melissa L. Johnson, MD, discusses the results of the phase 2 CITYSCAPE trial in PD-L1–positive non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Patients with chemotherapy-naïve, locally advanced or metastatic non–small cell lung cancer who were treated in the phase 2 CITYSCAPE trial with tiragolumab, an inhibitor of the immunomodulatory receptor TIGIT, plus and anti–PD-L1 agent demonstrated better efficacy versus single-agent checkpoint inhibitor therapy alone.

Adjuvant treatment with osimertinib demonstrated an 83% reduction in the risk of disease recurrence or death in patients with stage II to IIIA EGFR-mutant non–small cell lung cancer.

Atezolizumab in combination with carboplatin and etoposide has been approved in the UK for the frontline treatment of patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer.

The FDA has approved nivolumab combined with ipilimumab and chemotherapy for use as a frontline treatment for patients with metastatic or recurrent non–small cell lung cancer.

Nitika Thawani, MD, discusses identifying the difference between adverse events that are associated with radiation versus COVID-19 symptoms in lung cancer.

Anastasios (Tassos) Dimou, MD, shares advice from managing patients with non–small cell lung cancer who experience disease progression following therapy.
