Lung Cancer

In this episode of ‘How This is Building Me,’ Dr Camidge is rejoined by Dr Cetnar to discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly of the lung cancer data that were presented at the 2023 ASCO Annual Meeting.

Panel experts review disease staging for limited and extensive stage small-cell lung cancer and discuss the impact of staging on treatment selection.

Expert oncologists provide an overview of the landscape surrounding small-cell lung cancer and highlight the importance of early referral and diagnosis for overall patient outcomes.

Martin Wermke, MD, discusses the investigation of BI 764532 in patients with DLL3-positive small cell lung cancer and neuroendocrine carcinoma.

Ben Levy, MD offers insight into how he approaches the selection of the optimal treatment strategy in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer.

Jorge Nieva, MD, and Ashish Saxena, MD, PhD, talk about factors to consider when weighing the risk/benefit ratio associated with the use of cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibition.

Jorge Nieva, MD, and Ashish Saxena, MD, PhD, discuss the impact of chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression on patients with SCLC.

Amin Nassar, MD, discusses findings from a retrospective study of the use of EGFR TKI therapy, durvalumab, or observation following concurrent chemoradiation in patients with unresectable, stage III non–small cell lung cancer harboring EGFR mutations.

Dr Reuss discusses the development of LP-300 in advanced NSCLC, the mechanisms of LP-300 that may help synergize with the activity of platinum-based chemotherapy, and its ongoing investigation in the phase 2 HARMONIC trial.

Martin Dietrich, MD, PhD, and Wade Thomas Iams, MD, review the value of TROP2 as a target in patients with NSCLC.

Experts review data on treatment with HER3-directed agents in NSCLC for patients with EGFR mutations.

Vinay Edlukudige Keshava, MD, shares the story of his fellowship and provides advice on how to best transition to the next step in an oncologic career.

The FDA has approved a 505(b)(2) new drug application for Pemrydi RTU, the first and only ready-to-use presentation of pemetrexed or injection that does not require reconstitution, dilution, or refrigeration

Timothy I Shaw, PhD, discusses the genetic heterogeneity between paired primary and metastatic solid tumors, as well as the implications for neoantigen-based personalized vaccines in cancer care.

Dr Wade Thomas Iams explains how trastuzumab deruxtecan became the standard-of-care for HER2-mutated non-small cell lung cancer.

Martin Dietrich, MD, PhD, details the molecular target CEACAM5 and its use in the treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

Stephen V. Liu, MD, highlighted the importance of next-generation sequencing in lung cancer, key trials that have shifted the non–small cell lung cancer treatment landscape, and detailed ongoing research at Georgetown University Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center.

A survey conducted by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network Best Practices Committee found that 93% of United States cancer centers polled in the report are experiencing a shortage of carboplatin, and 70% currently have a shortage of cisplatin.

Sotorasib provided consistent benefit over docetaxel in the majority of key prespecified molecularly defined subsets of patients with pretreated KRAS G12C–mutated non–small cell lung cancer enrolled to the phase 3 CodeBreaK 200 trial.

The addition of tumor treating fields to standard-of-care immunotherapy or chemotherapy regimens elicited an improvement in overall survival vs SOC therapies alone in patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer following progression on or after platinum-based chemotherapy, according to data from the phase 3 LUNAR trial.

The novel irreversible EGFR exon 20 insertion inhibitor sunvozertinib demonstrated significant clinical activity and similar safety to prior reports in Chinese patients with non–small cell lung cancer harboring EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations who progressed on prior platinum-based chemotherapy, according to results from the phase 2 WO-KONH6 study.

The addition of pembrolizumab to pemetrexed and platinum-based chemotherapy resulted in a numerical, but not statistically significant, improvement in progression-free survival or overall survival vs chemotherapy plus placebo in patients with TKI-resistant, EGFR-mutated, metastatic nonsquamous non–small cell lung cancer.

The SEZ6-targeted antibody-drug conjugate ABBV-011, when administered at 1 mg/kg every 3 weeks, was found to be well tolerated and to demonstrate early efficacy in patients with relapsed or refractory small cell lung cancer.

Nivolumab plus ipilimumab and chemotherapy continued to show durable benefit at 4 years compared with chemotherapy alone as first-line therapy in patients with advanced non–small cell lung cancer, particularly in the PD-L1–negative and squamous populations.
