Julia Rotow, MD, discusses results from a first-in-human phase 1 study of the EGFR-targeting, BCL-XL–inhibiting antibody-drug conjugate ABBV-637 in combination with osimertinib in patients with relapsed/refractory, EGFR-mutated non–small cell lung cancer.

Pooled findings from exploratory analyses of the phase 2 DESTINY-Lung01 and DESTINY-Lung02 trials showed that different doses of fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki elicited similar intracranial responses in patients with HER2-mutated non–small cell lung cancer who had treated or untreated brain metastases at baseline.

Sandip P. Patel, MD, discusses the 2023 Bridging the Gaps in Lung Cancer meeting, expanding on the continued importance of replicating clinical trial approaches in the real-world setting.

Lyudmila A. Bazhenova, MD, discusses the 2023 Bridging the Gaps in Lung Cancer meeting, expanding on the hope to confirm a consensus on how to best move forward to address gaps in lung cancer care.

Datopotamab deruxtecan elicited encouraging responses in patients with heavily pretreated non–small cell lung cancer harboring actionable genomic alterations.

While progress in outcomes has been greater in non–small cell lung cancer, recent advances, including molecularly targeted therapies against EGFR and ALK, checkpoint inhibitors that boost immune response, improved staging, and video-assisted surgery have all contributed to progress in treatment of all types of lung cancer, including in SCLC.

Experts on lung cancer review key data from the HERTHENA-Lung01 study investigating patritumab deruxtecan (HER3-DXd) in patients with advanced EGFR-mutated NSCLC.

A medical oncologist discusses the role of HER3 in the treatment of non–small cell lung cancer and provides an overview of the HERTHENA-Lung01 clinical trial.

OncLive® will be LIVE with OncLive® News Network: On Location at the 2023 ESMO Congress. Each day, we will broadcast a series of interviews with top thought leaders, to learn their thoughts and reactions to data presented across oncology during the conference.

Patients with EGFR-mutated advanced non–small cell lung cancer who experienced disease progression after treatment with osimertinib experienced a progression-free survival benefit with amivantamab plus chemotherapy with or without lazertinib compared with chemotherapy alone.

The Trop-2 directed antibody drug conjugate datopotamab deruxtecan demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in progression-free survival vs docetaxel in patients with advanced or metastatic non–small cell lung cancer, however those with squamous histology did not experience a benefit.

The combination of amivantamab and lazertinib reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 30% compared with osimertinib alone as frontline therapy for patients with advanced non–small cell lung cancer harboring classical EGFR sensitizing mutations.

Dr Keshava discusses the rationale behind lung nodule programs, common barriers to implementing these programs, and how multidisciplinary collaboration can lead to successful early lung cancer diagnoses.

Byoung Chul Cho, MD, PhD, discusses key findings from the phase 3 MARIPOSA study of first-line amivantamab plus lazertinib vs osimertinib in EGFR-mutant locally advanced or metastatic non– small cell lung cancer.

The European Commission has approved fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki for the treatment of patients with advanced non–small cell lung cancer whose tumors harbor an activating HER2 mutation and who require systemic therapy following platinum-based chemotherapy with or without immunotherapy.

Osimertinib plus chemotherapy reduced the risk of central nervous system disease progression or death vs osimertinib alone in patients with locally advanced or metastatic EGFR-positive non–small cell lung cancer who had brain metastases at baseline, according to data from the phase 3 FLAURA2 trial.
