In this segment the panelist reviews the baseline patient and disease characteristics across the three treatment arms in MARIPOSA-2.

Data from the phase 1/2a AFM24-102 trial support the fast track designation for the AFM24 combination in EGFR wild-type non–small cell lung cancer.

The use of CT scans may help practices adaptively plan and adjust radiotherapy courses for patients with non–small cell lung cancer.

Investigators plan to present additional findings from the phase 3 TROPION-Lung01 trial at a future medical meeting.

Patients with NSCLC who have comorbidities or frailty may also be able to receive treatment with fewer toxicities via proton beam radiotherapy.

Terrence T. Sio, MD, MS, emphasizes multidisciplinary collaboration for treating patients with NSCLC who may require more than 1 type of therapy.

This segment discusses the details of the phase 3 randomized MARIPOSA-2 trial design evaluating amivantamab plus chemotherapy vs amivantamab, lazertinib and chemotherapy vs chemotherapy alone in osimertinib-resistant EGFR-mutant NSCLC.

This segment introduces a discussion on the MARIPOSA-2 trial evaluating amivantamab plus chemotherapy or amivantamab, lazertinib and chemotherapy in EGFR-mutant NSCLC after osimertinib progression.

The NEOpredict-Lung trial met its primary end point with nivolumab plus relatlimab for patients with resectable non–small cell lung cancer.

Data from the phase 1/2 ALKOVE-1 trial support the breakthrough therapy designation for NVL-655 in advanced ALK-positive non–small cell lung cancer.

The expert panel concludes with thoughts on unmet needs and future perspectives on the treatment of patients with EGFR-mutated non–small cell lung cancer.

Medical oncologists review updated data from the PAPILLON trial on amivantamab plus chemotherapy and discuss the treatment of patients with NSCLC with EGFR exon 20 insertions.

The progression-free survival end point was not met in the CheckMate -73L trial assessing patients with unresectable stage III non–small cell lung cancer.

Phase 2 data support additional investigation of lifileucel as a treatment for patients with metastatic non–small cell lung cancer.

Estelamari Rodriguez, MD, MPH, presents a case of a 50-year-old African American woman, non-smoker, with pleural metastases; the panel discusses interstitial lung disease management, the use of antibody-drug conjugates, disease timing, and strategies for providing symptomatic relief, specifically considering drug holds if steroids only offer partial relief.

Christine Bestvina, MD, presents a case of a 34-year-old non-smoker diagnosed with Stage IIIA NSCLC after presenting with chest wall pain; the panel then explores their approaches to managing toxicities, including rashes and sores, by employing dose reductions and steroids to control adverse reactions.

Data from the phase 1/2 eNRGy trial support the biologics license application for zenocutuzumab in NRG1-positive NSCLC and PDAC.

Focusing on the MARIPOSA trial, the panel provides thoughts the potential role of amivantamab and lazertinib, and discusses treatment decisions upon progression.

Medical oncologists review the FLAURA2 study looking at osimertinib with or without chemotherapy in EGFR-mutated NSCLC and discuss patients for whom they would consider the therapy.

T-DXd given at 2 dose levels continued to show anti-tumor activity in patients with HER2-overexpressing non–small cell lung cancer.

D. Ross Camidge, MD, PhD, spoke about how the approval of alectinib is the beginning of multiple other approvals for patients with ALK-positive NSCLC.

Alexander Spira, MD, PhD, FACP, presents a case of a 45-year-old male with stage IV NSCLC, bone and liver metastases, and an EGFR exon 20 insertion; the panel then discusses their approach to treating brain metastases using stereotactic radiosurgery radiation therapy.

The panelists explore the importance of communicating with patients, nurses, and caregivers about potential adverse reactions and injection site reactions, while emphasizing the need to offer ongoing reassurance and support throughout the treatment journey.
