Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Most patients who received COCOON dermatologic management reported mild or no dermatologic symptoms following treatment with amivantamab/lazertinib.

Data from SACHI support savolitinib/osimertinib as a chemotherapy-free option in previously treated EGFR-mutated NSCLC harboring a MET amplification.

Results from HERTHENA-Lung02 did not show improved OS with HER3-DXd for patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC.

Among 2 patient subgroups with advanced, HER2-mutant non–small cell lung cancer, sevabertinib showed comparable objective response rates.

Results from the KRYSTAL-7 trial showed that efficacy was improved with adagrasib/pembrolizumab for KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC.

Amivantamab/chemotherapy remained efficacious regardless of the osimertinib resistance mechanism for patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC.

Ivonescimab plus chemotherapy reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 48% vs chemotherapy alone in patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC.

After a lack of significant topline overall survival data from the phase 3 HERTHENA-Lung02 trial, the application for HER3-DXd in NSCLC was withdrawn.

The decision is based on results from the phase 1/2 SOHO-01 trial evaluating the agent in patients with advanced HER2-mutant non–small cell lung cancer.

Patients who received 70 Gy of radiotherapy had a significantly longer duration of treatment than those who received less than 70 Gy.

Stage IV lung cancer may be curable based on the success of the DREAM Program, according to thoracic surgeon, Ankit Bharat, MBBS,

Ankit Bharat, MBBS, a thoracic surgeon, discussed potential treatment-emergent adverse effects or complications as well as strategies for managing them.

Thoracic surgeon Ankit Bharat, MBBS, discussed surgical strategies among patients with advanced lung cancer diagnoses based on staging.

Data from the INCITE-ES study show 100% technical success with pulsed electric field energy delivery before surgical resection.

Given an unmet need for efficacious therapies against ALK-positive NSCLC, experts discuss optimal ALK TKI sequencing for patients with this disease.

Panelists discuss how proactive management of adverse effects through the COCOON protocol represents a paradigm shift that could be applied to other EGFR inhibitors, emphasizing early intervention before symptoms appear.

Panelists discuss how implementing standardized order sets in electronic medical records and providing printed patient education materials can help streamline the COCOON protocol implementation.

Findings from the CheckMate 77T study support the approval of this nivolumab-based regimen in the European Union.

Data from the phase 2 LUMINOSITY study support the FDA approval of telisotuzumab vedotin in this non–small cell lung cancer population.

Panelists discuss how the adverse effect profile of amivantamab plus lazertinib (ami-laz) compares with other combination therapies, emphasizing its balance between therapeutic efficacy and quality of life, and how this influences decision-making in treatment selection.

Panelists discuss how the COCOON dermatologic management protocol significantly reduced grade 2 or higher dermatologic adverse events in multiple locations, particularly on the face/body (23% vs 62%), scalp (9% vs 29%), and nails (16% vs 21%).

Panelists discuss how the baseline characteristics of patients in the COCOON trial were evenly matched, with slightly more women than men and a significant number of Asian patients, which is typical for EGFR-mutant non–small cell lung cancer.

Panelists discuss how targeted cancer therapies, particularly those affecting the EGFR and c-MET receptors, present unique adverse effects such as dermatologic reactions and venous thromboembolism, emphasizing the importance of proactive management, patient education, and evolving treatment strategies to balance efficacy with quality of life.

Panelists discuss how intracranial progression-free survival (PFS) and duration of response (DoR) influence treatment decisions, highlighting the significance of intracranial data in differentiating this regimen within the treatment landscape, its potential impact on brain metastases management, and the role of radiation therapy in clinical practice.

The phase 3 HARMONi-6 trial found invonescimab plus chemotherapy improved PFS vs tislelizumab plus chemotherapy in squamous NSCLC.
