Poziotinib Induces Responses in EGFR Exon 20+ NSCLC

Dr Elamin discusses results from a phase 2 study of poziotinib efficacy in EGFR exon 20–mutant non–small cell lung cancer and highlights the agent’s sensitivity in relation to insertion location.

Yasir Y. Elamin, MD, discusses the efficacy of poziotinib in patients with EGFR exon 20–mutated non–small cell lung cancer with near-loop vs far-loop mutations.

Yasir Y. Elamin, MD, explained the rationale, design, and key findings of a phase 2 study evaluating poziotinib in patients with EGFR exon 20–mutated non–small cell lung cancer.

Poziotinib produced an encouraging overall response rate in patients with non–small cell lung cancer harboring EGFR exon 20 mutations, meeting the primary end point in cohort 1 of a phase 2 trial.
