Considering Clinical Updates in Lung Cancer

With a plethora of data coming out of the 2023 European Society for Medical Oncology Congress, findings from multiple clinical trials examining antibody-drug conjugates in non–small cell lung cancer demonstrated encouraging antitumor activity and manageable safety profiles, including results from the phase 3 TROPION-Lung01 study, which evaluated datopotamab deruxtecan vs docetaxel in pretreated patients with advanced or metastatic disease.

Melissa L. Johnson, MD, Terufumi Kato, MD, and Pasi A. Jänne, MD, PhD, present updates from the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer 2023 World Conference on Lung Cancer.

Antonio Passaro, MD, PhD, medical oncologist, Division of Thoracic Oncology, European Institute of Oncology, discusses the significance of data from the phase 2 TROPION-Lung05 trial of datopotamab deruxtecan in patients with non–small cell lung cancer.

Stephen V. Liu, MD, discusses the significance of using fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki in patients with HER2-mutant non–small cell lung cancer and brain metastases according to pooled findings from exploratory analyses of the phase 2 DESTINY-Lung01 and DESTINY-Lung02 trials.

Nicholas Girard, MD, PhD, discusses the evolving role of antibody-drug conjugates in the treatment of patients with non–small cell lung cancer, highlighting data from the phase 3 TROPION-Lung01 study.

Pasi A. Jänne, MD, PhD, discusses key findings from the primary analysis of the phase 2 DESTINY-Lung02 trial in patients with HER2-mutant non–small cell lung cancer.

Terufumi Kato, MD, Terufumi Kato, MD, Chief Physician, Department of Thoracic Oncology, Kanagawa Cancer Center, Yokohama, Japan, discusses the ongoing investigation of datopotamab deruxtecan in combination with durvalumab and carboplatin as a first-line treatment for patients with advanced metastatic non–small cell lung cancer.

Melissa L. Johnson, MD, discusses findings from a subgroup analysis of outcomes with ifinatamab deruxtecan in patients with refractory small cell lung cancer, which she presented at the 2023 IASLC World Conference on Lung Cancer.
