FDA Approval Summary: Amivantamab for the Treatment of Patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer with EGFR Exon 20 Insertion Mutations

Katie Chon et al.

Summary: The FDA granted accelerated approval for amivantamab, a bispecific antibody targeting EGFR and mesenchymal-epithelial transition receptor, for the treatment of NSCLC patients with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations. The approval was based on a clinical trial demonstrating a 40% ORR and a median response duration of 11.1 months.

Impact of Clinical Practice Gaps on the Implementation of Personalized Medicine in Advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer

Helen Sadik et al.

Summary: Many patients with cancer are unable to receive the most effective personalized treatments due to challenges in integrating predictive biomarker testing into clinical care. Clinical practice gaps, such as operational inefficiencies and inappropriate testing result usage, contribute to the loss of patients along the precision oncology pathway. This study analyzed the impact of these gaps on the treatment of advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (aNSCLC), revealing that a significant percentage of eligible patients do not benefit from precision oncology therapies.

Cell-Free Tumor DNA (ctDNA) Utility in Detection of Original Sensitizing and Resistant EGFR Mutations in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Jason S. Agulnik et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the utility of plasma ctDNA as a noninvasive biomarker for detecting resistance mutations, monitoring treatment response and tumor progression in lung cancer patients. The detection of original mutations at baseline predicts poor progression-free survival and overall survival. The clearance and re-emergence of driver mutations during TKI treatment effectively identifies disease progression.

Oscar Arrieta et al.

Summary: The study found that the detection of plasma EGFRm at the time of tumor response evaluation in NSCLC patients receiving EGFR-TKIs is associated with poor clinical outcomes.
