Amivantamab, an Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) and Mesenchymal-epithelial Transition Factor (MET) Bispecific Antibody, Designed to Enable Multiple Mechanisms of Action and Broad Clinical Applications

Byoung Chul Cho et al.

Summary: Substantial therapeutic advancements have been made in identifying and treating activating mutations in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, resistance to EGFR and MET inhibitors remains common with current targeted therapies. Amivantamab, a fully human bispecific antibody targeting EGFR and MET, has shown efficacy and safety in patients with advanced NSCLC and provides a diverse antitumor mechanism through its multiple potential mechanisms of action.

Targeted Therapies for Lung Cancer Patients With Oncogenic Driver Molecular Alterations

Aaron C. Tan et al.

Summary: The therapeutic landscape of non-small-cell lung cancer is undergoing significant changes with the shift from histology-based classification to molecularly defined subsets. Targeted therapies for specific driver mutations such as EGFR, ALK, and ROS1 have shown promising results, and there is a growing list of approved therapies for other mutations. The importance of diagnostic molecular testing, optimal sequencing of therapies, application of targeted therapies in early-stage disease, and the impact of genomic mutations on targeted therapy efficacy are important areas of research.

IMpower150 Final Exploratory Analyses for Atezolizumab Plus Bevacizumab and Chemotherapy in Key NSCLC Patient Subgroups With EGFR Mutations or Metastases in the Liver or Brain

Naoyuki Nogami et al.

Summary: This study presents the final overall survival (OS) analyses for EGFR mutations and liver or brain metastases subgroups in the IMpower150 study. The results show that ABCP has sustained OS improvements compared to BCP in sensitizing EGFR mutations and baseline liver metastases subgroups. However, ACP does not provide a survival benefit in these subgroups compared to BCP. The study also suggests further investigation into the impact of ABCP on delaying the development of new brain lesions.

New Strategies and Novel Combinations in EGFR TKI-Resistant Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Nicolas Girard

Summary: Osimertinib is the standard-of-care for EGFR-mutant NSCLC, but progression after treatment is inevitable. Current treatment options beyond progression mainly involve platinum doublet chemotherapy. However, with better understanding of resistance mechanisms, targeted agents can be considered. Proposed strategies for current clinical practice include continuation of osimertinib, tissue rebiopsy and liquid biopsy to evaluate resistance mechanisms, assessment for enrollment in clinical trials or expanded access programs, and use of platinum-based chemotherapy with antiangiogenic agents if no resistance mechanism is identified.
