Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Adding aumolertinib to chemotherapy in the treatment of patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC led to improvements in progression-free survival.

The median CNS PFS with Dato-DXd was 5.0 months vs 3.0 months with docetaxel in patients with NSCLC who have brain metastases.

For patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC, concurrent durvalumab with chemotherapy/radiation did not show an efficacy improvement.

The safety and tolerability of nivolumab/chemotherapy in non–small cell lung cancer were manageable and consistent with its profiles in other clinical scenarios.

Zidesamtinib was well tolerated in patients who received prior ROS1 TKI therapy with advanced NSCLC, and dose discontinuation/reduction rates were low.

Ivonescimab plus chemotherapy following progression after a third-generation TKI showed consistent efficacy across EGFR-mutated NSCLC subgroups.

Subgroup data from KEYNOTE-671 support the use of perioperative pembrolizumab in stage II or III non–small cell lung cancer of any clinical nodal status.

AE-related discontinuations of osimertinib were low, and no new treatment-related deaths were reported with the combination in EGFR-mutant NSCLC.

Results from the Beamion-LUNG 1 trial showed an ORR of 75% for patients with HER2+ NSCLC treated with zongertinib.

Leveraging #WCLC25, lung oncologists spoke about the presentations they’re most looking forward to at the upcoming conference.

TT125-802 monotherapy shrank the tumors in 5 of 7 patients with drug-resistant NSCLC, and no thrombocytopenia was observed.

Developers will now initiate the phase 3 MarsLight-11 trial of IBI363 among patients with immunotherapy-resistant squamous non–small cell lung cancer.

The confirmed ORR was 40.0% in cohort 1A and 66.7% in cohort 1B of patients treated with sacituzumab tirumotecan/tagitanlimab for advanced NSCLC.

Prior data from the STRESS-LUNG-1 trial introduced emotional distress as a “psycho-biomarker” for immunotherapy efficacy in non–small cell lung cancer.

Findings from the KRYSTAL-12 trial support adagrasib as a treatment option for those with disease progression on prior chemotherapy and immunotherapy.

Zenocutuzumab offers a targeted treatment for NRG1+ lung and pancreatic cancers, demonstrating promising efficacy and manageable adverse effects.

The drug that the companion diagnostic identifies patients for, zongertinib, received FDA approval for HER2-mutant NSCLC on August 8, 2025.

Zongertinib is now approved by the FDA for patients with nonsquamous NSCLC with HER2 TKD activating mutations.

Following the approval of dato-DXd in untreated EGFR-mutant NSCLC, Jacob Sands, MD, discussed next steps for improving outcomes for this disease.

Nonrandomized phase 2 data support further assessment of aumolertinib among patients with NSCLC and brain metastases in a randomized clinical trial.

The treatment combination elicited partial responses in 80% of patients with squamous NSCLC and 46% in nonsquamous NSCLC.

The agency’s decision is based on results from the phase 1 RMC-6291-001 clinical trial evaluating elironrasib monotherapy in patients with solid tumors.

Support for the regulatory decision follows data from a phase 1/2a clinical trial assessing the agent in EGFR-mutant NSCLC at the 2025 ASCO Annual Meeting.

Investigators will present updated findings from the phase 3 FLAURA2 trial at a future medical meeting.

Particularly strong efficacy signals were observed in patients with non-squamous non–small cell lung cancer previously treated with PD-1 inhibition.

Panelists discuss how real-world experience with amivantamab plus lazertinib has shown remarkable responses consistent with trial data, including effectiveness in challenging cases like leptomeningeal disease, with manageable adverse effects when proper prophylactic measures and patient education are implemented.

The Oncomine Dx Express Test may generate results in as little as 24 hours when used on the Ion Torrent Genexus Dx Integrated Sequencer.

According to Jorge Nieva, MD, there are a multitude of things that can be explored to enhance the treatment landscape for lung cancer.

Taletrectinib showed improved efficacy in patients with ROS1-positive non–small cell lung cancer who were treatment-naïve.

“It’s a drug that I’m very comfortable with, and it is a drug I’ll likely use primarily in the first-line setting,” stated Jorge Nieva, MD, on taletrectinib in non–small cell lung cancer.
