Targeted ADCs vs Chemotherapy in Heavily Pretreated NSCLC: Clinical Benefits and Challenges

Author(s)Jonathan Riess, MD, MS, UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center, Christine Bestvina, MD, University of Chicago, Hatim Husain, MD

This episode discusses the urgent need for more effective and tolerable therapies for patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC who have exhausted targeted treatments, comparing the clinical benefits of a targeted ADC approach vs chemotherapy, with a focus on the TROPION-Lung01 study of Dato-DXd vs docetaxel for heavily pretreated advanced/metastatic NSCLC with actionable genomic alterations.
