Data from the phase 2 NADIM II trial appear to reinforce the superiority of nivolumab and chemotherapy vs chemotherapy alone after the regimen significantly improved overall survival progression-free survival, and pathologic complete response in patients with stage IIIA/B non–small cell lung cancer, according to investigators.

Data indicate that atezolizumab may achieve overall survival benefit compared with best supportive care in resected non–small cell lung cancer.

Following data presented from the phase 1/2 CodeBreak 100 and CodeBreak 101 trials, a regimen consisting of sotorasib with a safety lead-in followed by concurrent pembrolizumab will be further explored in patients with KRAS G12C–mutant non–small cell lung cancer.

Patients with treatment-naïve metastatic non–small cell lung cancer who received either sintilimab or pembrolizumab monotherapy, or either agent combined with chemotherapy, experienced comparable outcomes.

Four subgroups of patients with MET exon 14 skipping non–small cell lung cancer demonstrated unique signaling pathways and significant differentially-expressed genes.

Patients with stage III unresectable non–small cell lung cancer experienced a sustained progression-free survival benefit following treatment with consolidation sugemalimab.

Findings from the phase 2 NADIM trial reinforced the rationale for using neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy to treat patients with stage IIIA resectable non–small cell lung cancer based on differences between pathologic complete responders and non–pathologic complete responders

The phase 2 Neo-KAN study aims to determine if improved pathologic complete response rates with adagrasib alone or combined with immunotherapy for the neoadjuvant treatment of KRAS G12C–mutated non–small cell lung cancer are possible.

A challenging patient population with advanced non–small cell lung cancer and resistance to common immunotherapeutics appeared to derive promising benefit from treatment with eftilagimod alpha plus pembrolizumab.

Progression-free survival lengths were different among patients with non-small cell lung cancer receiving sotorasib when stratified by genomic profile.

With the combination of mobocertinib and T-DM1, potent preclinical efficacy was observed in lung cancer cells with HER2 exon 20 insertion mutations.

Patients with resectable pleural mesothelioma underwent safe and effective treatment with the triplet combination of neoadjuvant cisplatin, pemetrexed, and atezolizumab from the ongoing S1619 trial.

Findings from a phase 2 trial indicate that the use of neoadjuvant osimertinib may hold promise in a population of patients with EGFR-mutated non–small cell lung cancer.

Adjuvant atezolizumab led to disease-free survival benefit in patients with early-stage non–small cell lung cancer, including most patient subgroups, in the phase 3 IMpower010 trial.

Patients with non–small cell lung cancer harboring ALK mutations who were not suitable for crizotinib therapy, either due to resistance or intolerance, showed benefit with sequential crizotinib and alectinib.

Patients with non-small cell lung cancer with brain metastases experienced a favorable safety profile along with efficacy results when treated with atezolizumab plus chemotherapy.

Strategies from the COVID-19 pandemic such as flexible, patient-focused approaches and telehealth may work to increase enrollment on clinical lung cancer trials by increasing accessibility.

The phase 3 POSEIDON trial indicated that patients with metastatic non–small cell lung cancer who were treated with first-line durvalumab and chemotherapy with or without tremelimumab experienced a statistically significant survival benefit.

Patients with EGFR-mutated non–small cell lung cancer who were treated with ado-trastuzumab emtansine and osimertinib experienced minimal anti-tumor outcomes.

Previously platinum-treated patients with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation–positive non–small cell lung cancer saw clinical activity with mobocertinib regardless of prior PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor history.
