Patients with ALK-positive NSCLC not vulnerable to neurological adverse effects or prone to weight issues, might benefit from treatment with lorlatinib.

Data from the phase 3 CheckMate 77T trial support the CHMP’s opinion on approving the perioperative nivolumab regimen for those with resectable NSCLC.

The “inescapability” of climate hazards may necessitate prioritization of research to improve outcomes among vulnerable populations who require treatment.

The safety profiles of osimertinib monotherapy and combination therapy were consistent with prior reports in EGFR-mutated non–small cell lung cancer.

Findings from the phase 3 CROWN trial evaluating lorlatinib in ALK-positive non–small cell lung cancer revealed a sustained PFS benefit with the agent.

Leticia Nogueira, PhD, MPH, highlights how facilities exposed to wildfires tend to have longer lengths of stay for patients undergoing surgery for NSCLC.

CAN-2409 plus valacyclovir or acyclovir elicited a median OS of 24.5 months in the overall population of patients who progressed after immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy.

In the phase 2 EMBRACE trial, ensartinib demonstrated an ORR of 53.3%, a DCR of 86.7%, and a tumor shrinkage rate of 33.3% in patients with METex14-positive NSCLC.

In patients who were pretreated and treatment naïve with RET fusion-positive NSCLC, selpercatinib yielded an ORR of 61.5% and 82.6%, respectively.

Future work may need to assess whether extended hospital stays improve surgical care outcomes during disasters, according to one of the study authors.

Retrospective data may offer actionable guidance for clinicians treating patients with non–small cell lung cancer and brain metastases.

Use of Deep-IO may help refine treatment precision and identify patients with advanced NSCLC who are likely to benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Multidisciplinary approaches, RNA-based next-generation sequencing, and patient-specific front-line treatment decisions are all important for curating effective NSCLC treatments.

Phase 2 data support further investigation of trastuzumab rezetecan as a treatment for patients with HER2-mutant non–small cell lung cancer.

Ivonescimab demonstrated a broad prolongation of PFS across various prespecified subgroups in patients with treatment-naïve, PD-L1–positive NSCLC.

Results from the phase 3 REZOR trial show a median PFS of 19.3 months with rezivertinib vs 9.6 months with gefitinib in patients with NSCLC.

The observed safety profile of HA121-28 was similar to that of other multi-targeted RET tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

Combining pembrolizumab with pemetrexed met the primary end point of objective response rate in a phase 2 trial.

The survival benefit of dacomitinib was improved in real-world settings for patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC compared with what the ARCHER 1050 trial shows.

Factors such as World Health Organization status appeared to correlate with early mortality in an elderly non–small cell lung cancer cohort.

Treatment with mobocertinib produces clinically meaningful delays in time to deterioration among patients enrolled on the phase 3 EXCLAIM-2 trial.

Dr. Kim discusses her experience with lorlatinib in real-world settings for ALK+ NSCLC, highlighting both the benefits and challenges of incorporating it into clinical practice.

Dr. Garon describes the current treatment landscape for metastatic ALK+ NSCLC and explores alternative treatment options that could have been considered for these patients.

Updated, comprehensive OS results with the combination in resectable NSCLC will be shared in a future peer-reviewed setting.

Efficacy results from cohort 1 of the phase 1b Beamion LUNG-1 trial support the decision to review zongertinib in HER2-mutant advanced NSCLC.
