Role of Antibody-Drug Conjugates in NSCLC Treatment: Insights from EVOKE-02
Benjamin Levy, MD, leads discussion on the promising potential of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) in treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with non-actionable mutations, while Helena A. Yu, MD, presents an overview of the EVOKE-02 study, emphasizing key efficacy and safety data that could significantly impact the current treatment landscape.

Adding intercalated gefitinib to adjuvant chemotherapy improved DFS vs chemotherapy alone in completely resected stage II-IIIB EGFR-mutant NSCLC in a phase 3 trial.
A real-world study found just one-third of patients remained on adjuvant osimertinib at 3 years, with early discontinuation linked to worse disease-free survival.
Primary results from the phase 3 ARTEMIS-008 trial presented at WCLC 2026 showed risvutatug rezetecan reduced the risk of death by 54% and more than doubled PFS.
Tambotatug pelitecan improved survival and confirmed ORR in the phase 3 TAISHAN-302 trial presented at WCLC 2026.
Randomized dose-expansion data from the global phase 1 study establish the recommended phase 3 dose for the EGFR x HER3 bispecific ADC in the IZABRIGHT-Lung01 trial.
Final analysis of the phase 3 IMpower030 trial showed a median EFS of 62.8 months versus 34.9 months with placebo plus chemotherapy in stage IIB to IIIB disease.
First data from the phase 1B/2 BNT324-01 trial pair a PD-L1 and VEGF-A bispecific antibody with a B7H3-directed ADC in patients with SCLC.
Every-3-week and every-4-week tarlatamab regimens produced ORRs of 31% and 27% vs 40% with standard bi-weekly dosing in the phase 2 DeLLphi-309 trial.
